Is there Tensorflow support on the IMX8mp Hummingboard pulse?

While Tensorflow is able to run on the iMX8MP it is generally not a good idea. Building and training models on an embedded device is generally limited by memory and processing power. the iMX8MP does support Tensorflow Lite for running inferencing on the CPU, GPU, or NPU.

As it is one of the requirements of our customer, are there any resources that you can suggest to get tf up and running on the imx8mp.  
Ive tried pip3 install, and after successful install it shows me a module import error (timeit, pdb etc).

If a pip3 install of tensorflow-aarch64 is failing then I recommend filing a bug with the tensorflow project, who maintain that package.
