tensorflow: TF Lite wheel is not supported on platform including ARMv7 and python 3.6.5

System information

Hardware : Freescale i.MX6 Quad/DualLite
Processor: ARMv7 Processor rev 10 (v71)
OS Platform and Distribution: Yocto built Linux distribution (kernel 4.9.4+)
TensorFlow Lite interpreter installed: wheel https://dl.google.com/coral/python/tflite_runtime-2.1.0.post1-cp36-cp36m-linux_armv7l.whl (https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/guide/python#learn_more)
Installed python version: 3.6.5
Installed pip3 version: 9.0.3

I downloaded the wheel described above from Tensorflow’s website and followed the guidelines doing so because the processor is of the ARMv7 type and because the installed python version is 3.6.5. I transferred the wheel from my local computer to the hardware over SSH. Now running pip3 install tflite_runtime-2.1.0.post1-cp36-cp36m-linux_armv71.whl gives me the following error message: tflite_runtime-2.1.0.post1-cp36-cp36m-linux_armv71.wh is not a supported wheel on this platform.

Why is that? As far as I know, the hardware and software answers to all requirements set out to be able to install this particular wheel.

You can use tflite literpreter with https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/guide/python which install tflite_runtime package. I think you’re using multiple Python versions. Two things worths to try.

Please don’t use root account for your development. You’d better have a dev account.
In your dev account, try to use Python virtual environment to use a specific Python version. https://www.tensorflow.org/install/pip#2.-create-a-virtual-environment-recommended
