Hailo8L architecture not detected, defaults to Hailo8

Hello,
I have a Raspberry Pi 5 with the new AI HAT+ setup, followed the instructions from the Pi official site, and I have the following issue: when I type

> hailortcli fw-control identify

I get the following
Executing on device: 0000:01:00.0
Identifying board
Control Protocol Version: 2
Firmware Version: 4.18.0 (release,app,extended context switch buffer)
Logger Version: 0
Board Name: Hailo-8
Device Architecture: HAILO8
Serial Number: <N/A>
Part Number: <N/A>
Product Name: <N/A>

No matter what I do, Iā€™m not getting the HAILO8L as I would expect, nor the serial and part numbers.

The YOLO model I have compiled for HAILO8L defaults to running in HAILO8 mode (it does work by the way).

I started from a Pi 5 mint install, https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/ai.html

What is going wrong? Any idea?

Hi @david1,
It looks like you have the 26TOPs HAT version, not the 13TOPS HAT. You can run models compiled to the 13TOPS (Hailo8L) or ones compiled for Hailo-8 to get more juice out of it.
