Nengo convolution error

Hi all,
I tried to run the Convolutional Networks example in the NengoLoihi and this error is issued
AttributeError: module ‘nengo’ has no attribute ‘convolution’. What the lib did I miss? I already installed nengo, nengo_dl and nengo_loihi … Thank you

----code----
def conv_layer(x, *args, activation=True, **kwargs):
# create a Conv2D transform with the given arguments
conv = nengo.Convolution(*args, channels_last=False, **kwargs)

if activation:
    # add an ensemble to implement the activation function
    layer = nengo.Ensemble(conv.output_shape.size, 1).neurons
else:
    # no nonlinearity, so we just use a node
    layer = nengo.Node(size_in=conv.output_shape.size)

# connect up the input object to the new layer
nengo.Connection(x, layer, transform=conv)

# print out the shape information for our new layer
print("LAYER")
print(conv.input_shape.shape, "->", conv.output_shape.shape)

return layer, conv

—end code—
The error is
— error–

The nengo.Convolution class is new, and not yet released. To use it, you need to install the development version of Nengo. The easiest way to do this is

pip uninstall nengo
pip install git+https://github.com/nengo/nengo.git

Oh I see, thank you

Hello Eric,

I also have this issue with Convolutional Networks example and after I finished the steps you recommended, a new problem occurred in the import section. What’s your suggestion? Thanks in advance.

It looks like you’re using the development version of Nengo, which has some recent changes that are not yet supported in NengoDL. If you install the latest Nengo release (2.8.0), then everything should work fine. Alternatively, this will soon be fixed in the development version of NengoDL. So if you follow this PR https://github.com/nengo/nengo-dl/pull/107, once that is merged in then you can install the development version of NengoDL and again everything should work fine.

Hello,

I installed the Nengo 2.8.0 and now my nengo packegaes are
nengo 2.8.0
nengo-dl 2.2.1
nengo-gui 0.4.5
nengo-loihi 0.8.0

when I ran the same example which is “Convolutional Networks example” in the NengoLoihi, I got the error:

ImportError: cannot import name ‘multiply’

I even got the same error in the example “COMMUNICATION CHANNEL” which works fine before.

I want to use nengo loihi, which version for these packages should I install?

nengo, nengo-dl, and nengo-loihi have all now been updated. So if you use the most recent versions (nengo 3.0, nengo-dl 2.2.2, and nengo-loihi 0.9.0), then everything should work for you. Sorry for the delays as we updated all these packages for the major Nengo 3.0 release!
