ONNX Community Meetup 2026: Lessons Learned Building an ONNX-to-C Compiler
June 30, 2026
The recording of Dr. Timo Stripf’s presentation at the ONNX Community Meetup 2026 is now available on YouTube.
The talk shares lessons learned from building an ahead-of-time ONNX-to-C compiler and provides technical insights into deterministic code generation for embedded AI applications.
The presentation focuses on practical implementation challenges that arise when translating ONNX models into deterministic, reviewable C code, including:
- ONNX operator support
- shape inference
- evaluation order
- explicit tensor arrays
- achieving 100% ONNX Backend Scoreboard test coverage
The presentation also provides technical background on emx-onnx-cgen, the open-source ONNX-to-C compiler used in the emmtrix Edge AI Compiler workflow.
