Could you build this?

No Implementing a deep neural network inference engine directly in pure C on ARM hardware requires specialized knowledge of neural network architectures and low-level hardware optimizations.

What it would actually take: The project requires writing custom C tensor operations (convolutions, depthwise separable convolutions, SiLU activations, and detection heads) without standard runtimes like ONNX or PyTorch. It requires manual memory management and low-level SIMD optimization using ARM NEON intrinsics on the Raspberry Pi 5 to achieve real-time performance. Deep domain expertise in computer vision mathematics, computer architecture, and cache-conscious GEMM operations is required.
