[Re-posting]Power measurement not supported error on Hailo-8 M.2 module (CONTROL_PROTOCOL_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED_DEVICE)

General

Hello,

I’m currently working with a Hailo-8 M.2 module on Ubuntu 24.04, using HailoRT version 4.23.0.
The board seems to be recognized correctly, but when I try to run power measurement, I encounter the following error:

$ hailortcli measure-power
Executing on device: 0000:03:00.0
\[HailoRT\] \[error\] Firmware control has failed. Major status: 0x400300b4, Minor status: 0x400300b4
\[HailoRT\] \[error\] Firmware major status: CONTROL_PROTOCOL_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED_DEVICE
\[HailoRT\] \[error\] Firmware minor status: CONTROL_PROTOCOL_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED_DEVICE
\[HailoRT\] \[error\] Opcode HAILO_CONTROL_OPCODE_POWER_MEASUEMENT is not supported on the current board.
\[HailoRT\] \[error\] CHECK_SUCCESS failed with status=HAILO_UNSUPPORTED_OPCODE(48)
\[HailoRT CLI\] \[error\] CHECK_SUCCESS failed with status=HAILO_UNSUPPORTED_OPCODE(48)
Failed power measurement, status HAILO_UNSUPPORTED_OPCODE(48)
Failed to execute on device: 0000:03:00.0. status= HAILO_UNSUPPORTED_OPCODE(48)

I also tried verifying the firmware and device info:

$ hailortcli fw-control identify
Executing on device: 0000:03:00.0
Identifying board
Control Protocol Version: 2
Firmware Version: 4.23.0 (release,app,extended context switch buffer)
Logger Version: 0
Board Name: Hailo-8
Device Architecture: HAILO8

$ hailortcli --version
HailoRT-CLI version 4.23.0

So the firmware seems to be installed properly, and the board is recognized as a Hailo-8, not Hailo-8L.

My questions:

  1. Why am I getting a CONTROL_PROTOCOL_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED_DEVICE error on a Hailo-8 M.2 board?
  2. Is there any firmware or configuration required to enable power measurement on this device?
  3. Could this be a hardware issue (e.g., missing INA power monitor) or software mismatch?

Any advice or confirmation would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hey @DongHyuk_Heo,

This is most likely a hardware limitation - the board doesn’t have the right IC or INA for power monitoring.

You could give this a try:

(venv_hailo_apps) hailo@hailo:~/hailo-apps-infra $ hailortcli run2 --measure-power set-net resources/models/hailo8/yolov11s.hef

But honestly, it’ll probably give you the same result since the IC or INA just isn’t there on the board.

Did you post the entire output? If you have an original Hailo-8 M.2 module installed in your system I would expect three additional values (Serial Number, Part Number and Product Name). Please see the following post for an example:

Hailo Community - How can I know the Hailo8 revision, serial number and firmware version

You can also use the --extended flag to get further information. Example output in the same post above. You should see the following line:

Device supported features: Current Monitoring, PCIE

Not all systems with a Hailo-8 have the INA current sensor on board. It is an optional component. All official Hailo-8 M.2 modules do have an on-board INA device.

There is only one firmware for all Hailo-8 and Hailo-8L devices. It is installed by the PCIe driver installer. You do not need to configure anything special.

It seems that this board doesn’t include an INA sensor.
Thank you for your reply.
Sincerely.
