I have trained yolo11n model on custom dataset and converted it to onnx model. Now i want to convert it to hef format in order to run on Hailo8L. Is it possible to convert yolo11 to hef format using DFC compiler or not? If yes, then should the steps remain same of conversion as of yolov8 for yolo11? I searched yolo11n models but there were no such models available on model zoo so kindly guide me is it possible to convert yolo11?

Generally, you can convert any model built using layers supported by the Hailo Dataflow Compiler.
When we add a model to the Model Zoo, it simplifies the process because we provide parameters in the form of YAML and ALLS files to assist the Hailo Dataflow Compiler in converting the model.
It takes our engineers some time to review new models and create the necessary YAML and ALLS files.
Therefore, you have two options: you can either wait for us to add support for new models and use only models supported by the Hailo Model Zoo, or if you want to try the latest models available, you will need to do some of the work our engineers do when a new model is published.
If you have not yet converted a model that is not in the Model Zoo and would like to learn how, I recommend going through the tutorial. Simply run the following command in the Hailo AI Software Suite Docker:

This will open a Jupyter notebook server with notebooks for each individual step of the conversion.
