This is a note only for ONNX Runtime developers.

It's very often, you need to update the ONNX submodule to a newer version in the upstream. Please follow the steps below, don't miss any!

1. Update the ONNX subfolder

cd cmake/external/onnx
git remote update
git reset --hard <commit_id>
cd ..
git add onnx

(Change the <commit_id> to yours. If you are not sure, use 'origin/master'. Like 'git reset --hard origin/master')

2. Update cgmanifest.json Search 'https://github.com/onnx/onnx.git', update the commitHash with it.

3. Update tools/ci_build/github/linux/docker/scripts/install_onnx.sh Search 'for version2tag', update the commit hashes. The list should contain every release version from ONNX 1.2, and the latest one in our cmake/external/onnx folder.

4. If there is any change to cmake/external/onnx/onnx/*.in.proto, update onnxruntime/core/protobuf as follows :

- Apply these changes to onnxruntime/core/protobuf/*.in.proto
- Copy cmake/external/onnx/onnx/gen_proto.py to onnxruntime/core/protobuf and use this script to generate the new \*.proto and \*.proto3 files
- Regenerate csharp/test/Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime.Tests/OnnxMl.cs

5. Send you PR, and run the CI builds.

6. If there is any unitest failure, caught by onnx_test_runner. Please also update

• onnxruntime/test/onnx/main.cc
• onnxruntime/test/python/onnx_backend_test_series.py
