Systems and methods for preparing and deploying cross-platform applications

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium impressed with computer program instructions to deploy cross-platform applications to tiny ML hardware, the instructions, when executed on a processor, implement a method comprising:

• maintaining definition of a first declarative instruction that when processed, interacts with cross-platform capabilities common to multiple tiny ML hardware instances,
• maintaining definition of a second declarative instruction that, when processed, invokes at least one procedure block that interacts with the capabilities to produce input to a tiny ML model that runs on the tiny ML hardware,
• maintaining definition of a third declarative instruction that when processed, causes output from the tiny ML hardware,
• compiling bytecode for the procedure block and the tiny ML model that runs on the tiny ML hardware,
• wherein the compiled bytecode further including a manifest of one or more capabilities, one or more procedure blocks and at least one output supported by the tiny ML model;
• and
• connecting to an instance of the tiny ML hardware,
• verifying presence of tinySupport infrastructure running on the tiny ML hardware,
• verifying availability that the instance of the ML hardware supports the one or more capabilities, the one or more procedure blocks and the at least one output specified in the manifest, and
• loading the bytecode and verifying integrity of the load.
