Hailo Installation on Raspberry Pi 5 with Ubuntu 24.04

[serkanMz]

Hello Hailo Community,
I am using a Raspberry Pi 5 for my project, and my operating system is Ubuntu 24.04. I am trying to use the Hailo AI kit for AI processing, but the installation is not working properly.

I have successfully completed some installations. Below are the outputs of some commands

1. dpkg -l | fgrep -i hailo

ii  hailort                                      4.20.0                                  arm64        HailoRT
ii  hailort-pcie-driver                          4.20.0                                  all          Hailo PCIe driver and firmware

2. sudo dmesg | fgrep hailo

3. ls /dev/hailo*

/dev/hailo0

4. hailortcli

A subcommand is required
Run with --help for more information.

5. hailocli scan

The outputs of the commands above are as shown. As far as I understand, the hailort-drivers and hailort libraries seem to have been installed successfully.

However, when I try to run the example scripts for Raspberry Pi, I get the following error:

File "/home/ari/test/hailo-rpi5-examples/basic_pipelines/detection.py", line 9, in <module>  
    from hailo_apps_infra.hailo_rpi_common import (  
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'hailo_apps_infra'  

I couldn’t figure out what is missing in this part.

I have completed the installations mentioned in Tappas_v3.31.0, but how can I test whether the installation was successful?

The pages I followed during the installation are as follows:

1. opensensor README.md
2. Ubuntu Blog

Hey @serkanMz,

From what you’ve provided, the installation has worked correctly. You need to do two things:

1. Install pyHailoRT - please download it from our https://hailo.ai/developer-zone/software-downloads/ (install it in your virtual environment)
2. Install the hailo-rpi-examples using the ./install.sh script to fix this issue

There is another thread on the same theme;-) It’s a bit older

Hailort driver Installation issues / Raspberry Pi 5 Ubuntu Desktop 24.04.01 LTS

Hi, I need your help regarding my Hailo 8 M.2 (M-key version). In short: I am trying to get the hailort-driver working on my Raspberry Pi 5 running Ubuntu Desktop 24.04.01 LTS with kernel: 6.8.0-1018-raspi , but it won’t work. I’ve tried to install the following hailort-driver versions: v4.17.0 v4.19.0 v4.20.0 I’ve installed them like this: sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) sudo apt install build-essential git clone https://github.com/hailo-ai/hailort-drivers.git --branch v4.17.…

The biggest problem, you will run into, is that Ubuntu 24.04 is using Python 3.12. So, all the pre-build packages will not really work. You could find a PPA for Python 3.11 and that works for first tests, but eventually you will run into trouble with to different Python3 versions:-(
