I have built a custom model that loads and runs from the SD card. Now looking to embed the model into the firmware. I have followed these two posts, and placed my model “blob\_classify” and label files into openmv/src/lib/tflm/models, then build the firmware. > > **[openmv/src/lib/tflm at master · openmv/openmv](https://github.com/openmv/openmv/tree/master/src/lib/tflm)** > > OpenMV Camera Module. Contribute to openmv/openmv development by creating an account on GitHub. I load the firmware with this path: \wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\home\username\openmv\src\build\bin\firmware.bin After loading the firmware I get the error “Could not find the file”. When I change to model filename to “fomo\_face\_detection”, the model loads. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/openmv1/original/2X/1/1477c9bd7acd07dbf82fecf6f48a9d7dd76a0448.png) ---

Hi, can you provide your model and labels? I just tried this feature out by adding a renamed second copy of fomo to the nicla firmware and there were no issues. ---

I’m building the firmware for RT1062. In OpenMV IDE the board is “OpenMV Cam RT1062 Legacy”. Build using this: make -j$(nproc) TARGET=OPENMV\_RT1060 -C src ---

Figured it out. After adding the .tflite and .txt files to /model folder, need to force make to rebuild with -B switch make -j$(nproc) -C src/micropython/mpy-cross -B ---

Hi @ajacobs, I’m encountering the [same issue] ([Error loading embedded model](https://forums.openmv.io/t/error-loading-embedded-model/10507)) you described regarding loading an embedded model in OpenMV. I was wondering if you could share more details about how you executed your model and the steps you followed. Thank you. ---

It may be a memory issue. Try removing all other models from the folder.
