if we could not install the driver by deb file, how should we do it?
Step 1: Build the Hailort Driver KO file
Navigate back to the SDK and execute the following commands to build the Hailo PCI Driver:
cd SDK/kernel/driver
git clone https://github.com/hailo-ai/hailort-drivers.git
# Specify the version to download
git clone --depth 1 -b v4.xx.x https://github.com/hailo-ai/hailort-drivers.git
# Confirm the downloaded Hailort-Driver version
git -C hailort-drivers/ log -1 # tag: v4.xx.0
echo "obj-y += hailort-drivers/linux/pcie/" >> Makefile
cd ../../
./build.sh kernel
Check if hailo_pci.ko
is built:
# Confirm the presence of the built file
file kernel/drivers/hailort-drivers/linux/pcie/hailo_pci.ko
Download the Hailo8 firmware:
./kernel/drivers/hailort-drivers/download_firmware.sh
Step 2: Prepare all necessary files
hailo_pci.ko
(SDK/kernel/drivers/hailort-drivers/linux/pcie/hailo_pci.ko)51-hailo-udev.rules
(SDK/kernel/drivers/hailort-drivers/linux/pcie/51-hailo-udev.rules)hailo8_fw.4.xx.x.bin
(./kernel/drivers/hailort-drivers/download_firmware.sh)modules.builtin
(SDK/kernel/modules.builtin)modules.order
(SDK/kernel/modules.order)
Step 3: Push files to the device and install the driver
sudo mkdir –p /usr/lib/modules/<kernel_version>/kernel/drivers/hailo
sudo cp hailo_pci.ko /usr/lib/modules/<kernel_version>/kernel/drivers/hailo
sudo cp modules.builtin /usr/lib/modules/<kernel_version>/
sudo cp modules.order /usr/lib/modules/<kernel_version>/
sudo mkdir –p /lib/firmware/hailo
sudo mv hailo8_fw.4.xx.0.bin /lib/firmware/hailo/hailo8_fw.bin
sudo cp 51-hailo-udev.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe hailo_pci
sudo echo hailo_pci >> /etc/modules
sudo reboot
Note: Replace <kernel_version>
with the actual kernel version on your system.
