Hailo-8 on TVS-673e

English Compatibility
1

Hello,

Have a m.2 Hailo-8 M Key AI Processor installed on a QM2-2P-344A PCIe card in my TVS-673e. The device shows up under the AI Accelerator tab on control Panel - Hardware. It is detected in the multimedia console under the AI Engines tab.

If I run lspci from ssh I get:

Curious if this is how it should look or if I am missing a step somewhere.

What is your issue? The accelerator will work whenever you are doing facial detection in pictures, etc. You will see what app is using it in the Hardware tab on Control panel.

Here is the backstory driving the question.

I have been running Frigate in a container on my TVS-673e with a Coral USB TPU. Recently bought a Hailo-8 to see if I can getter better accuracy with one of the YOLO models. Could not get the Hailo-8 to work with the onboard m.2 slot so asked for a QM-2P-344a board for Christmas. Installed it and set up Frigate to use the Hailo-8 and it keeps crashing with this error.

“frigate.detectors.plugins.hailo8l ERROR : Inference error: [HailoRT] [error] CHECK failed - Driver version (4.18.0) is different from library version (4.21.0)”

Looking through google on that error there were a few specific commands to verify the board was recognized correctly, specifically hailortcli, lspci.

So I asked the question regarding what should I expect from lspci. I verified the card worked from Qumagie, but was wondering if I should be expecting different output from lspci

Now I need to determine how to upgrade the driver to 4.21.0

Aha. Now I understand your requirements better! :smiley:

I must admit, I don’t know the answer to your question. The card is working with QMagie so we know it works. The rest: Maybe someone else can help…

Hi, thanks for the report! Just to clarify, the model we’ve verified for compatibility is the Hailo-8 B+M Key, which is different from the Hailo-8 M Key you’re using.

We will evaluate support for the M Key version in the future. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention!

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. Just to clarify, the M key version appears to work fine on the QM2-2P-344a card. At least for the QNAP apps.

I believe the issue is that a fairly old device driver is baked into the QTS software and there is no way to update it to match what Frigate is using.

Thanks, Roger

Hi, just because the device is recognized doesn’t necessarily mean the card is functioning correctly. I’ll check with our internal team regarding the driver status. Thanks for the update!
