From e425abb60e15e91cc8b75114ca8ead4af439595f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ryan Kuester Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2024 20:17:24 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] docs: update generic benchmark tool documentation (#3021) Add instructions for using the tool with compressed models, including profiling timing for decompression and alternate memory regions. Update the tested targets list to include additional Xtensa architectures. Provide example build and run commands for compressed models with alternate decompression memory. Correct typos and improve clarity in build instructions and example outputs. Update compiler flags and example output to reflect recent changes.
