Bringing Up HailoRT Driver on Android
This guide summarizes the steps to build and install the HailoRT driver for Android.
Prerequisites:
- A device running Android 12.0 (adjust if needed)
- Android NDK (adjust path as needed)
- Hailo driver source code (GitHub - hailo-ai/hailort-drivers: The Hailo PCIe driver is required for interacting with a Hailo device over the PCIe interface)
- HailoRT source code (GitHub - hailo-ai/hailort: An open source light-weight and high performance inference framework for Hailo devices) (same firmware version as Hailo driver)
Steps:
- Build Hailo Driver:
-
Change directory to the Hailo driver source:
cd hailort-drivers/linux/pcie -
Set environment variables (adjust NDK path):
export NDK=/opt/android-ndk-r26b
export PATH=$NDK/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin:$PATH
export KERNEL_DIR=/opt/RK3588_Android12.0/kernel-5.10 # Adjust kernel directory -
Build the driver:
$NDK/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 all -
Verify driver build:
file hailo_pci.ko
- Download Hailo Firmware:
- Run the script to download the firmware (assuming it exists in the project):
../../download_firmware.sh
- Install Hailo Driver on Device:
- Connect your Android device.
- Enable root access and remount the device (use with caution):
adb root
adb remount - Create a directory for the firmware on the device:
adb shell "mkdir -p /vendor/etc/firmware/hailo/" - Push the driver and firmware files to the device:
adb push hailo8_fw.4.xx.x.bin /vendor/etc/firmware/hailo/hailo8_fw.bin
adb push hailo_pci.ko /vendor/lib/modules/hailo/ - Configure automatic loading on boot:
adb shell "echo "insmod /vendor/lib/modules/hailo_pci.ko">> /vendor/etc/init.insmod.cfg"
- Build HailoRT for Android :
- Download HailoRT
git clone https://github.com/hailo-ai/hailort.git - Change the CMakeLists.txt for the cross compiling.
set(ANDROID_PLATFORM android-21) # Adjust the API level as needed
set(ANDROID_ABI arm64-v8a) # Target ARM architecture, adjust as needed
set(ANDROID_NDK /opt/android-ndk-r26b) # Specify Android NDK path
set(CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE ${ANDROID_NDK}/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake) # Set the toolchain file for Android
set(CMAKE_ANDROID_ARCH_ABI ${ANDROID_ABI}) # Specify the architecture for Android
set(ANDROID_PLATFORM_VERSION ${ANDROID_PLATFORM}) # Specify the Android platform version - Compiling the hailort
cmake -H. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build --config release
*Pushing Compiled Files
adb push libhailort.so /vendor/lib64/
adb push hailortcli /vendor/bin
