C SDK installation and user guide
We explain here how to write FuriosaAI NPU applications using C programming language. The C SDK provides a C ABI-based static library and C header file. Using these, you can write applications in C, C++, or other languages that support C ABI.
The provided C SDK is relatively lower-level than Python SDK. It can be used when lower latency and higher performance are required, or when Python runtime cannot be used.
