Can you try removing the PCIe driver by running the following command?
sudo dpkg --purge hailort-pcie-driver
This will completely remove the existing PCIe driver. After that, you can try reinstalling the new driver.
Just to note, the PCIe driver is the same for both the Hailo8 and Hailo8L chips. The only difference is in the HEF (Hailo Executable Format) file you are using - that needs to match the specific Hailo chip you have.
Let me know if removing and reinstalling the PCIe driver helps resolve the issue you were facing. I’m happy to provide further assistance if needed.
