Deploying ML Models on Edge Devices

---

Software Setup

In this section you get to set up the software required to train and deploy the models on the hardware. We will set up what we'll utilize for both the baseline model and the camera trap application.

Installation

Start by setting up an Edge Impulse Account
Install the OpenMV IDE
