Subject: Unable to reinstall or run Hailo-8L on Raspberry Pi 5 after OS updates
Hello,
I’m using a Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB RAM) with a Hailo-8L module.
Initially, everything worked fine — I successfully followed the official setup instructions from this repository:
https://github.com/hailo-ai/hailo-rpi5-examples/blob/main/doc/contributing-community-project.md sudo apt install hailo-all and other package installation variants (from .deb or .whl files) did not work — either the package could not be found or produced dependency errors.
- The
.shsetup scripts and Docker containers fail with “insufficient memory (only 8GB available)” errors. - Rebuilding HailoRT manually via
cmakeandmakefinishes, but the Python bindings cannot be imported (import hailortreturns an empty module). - Example pipelines (like
detection_simple.py) fail to start with missing libraries such as: ImportError: libgsthailometa.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory WARNING: erroneous pipeline: no element “hailofilter”
gst-inspect-1.0 | grep hailo shows that Hailo GStreamer plugins are missing after reinstallation.
- Installing
.whlfiles from the SDK (likehailort-4.22.0-cp312-cp312-linux_aarch64.whl) gives: ERROR: … is not a supported wheel on this platform What I’ve tried-
Reinstalling with
sudo apt install hailo-alland other variants (hailo-tappas-core-python-binding,hailo_dataflow_compiler, etc.). -
Creating a clean virtual environment (
python3 -m venv --system-site-packages hailo_venv) and installingrequirements.txtfrom the examples repo. -
Building HailoRT manually from source (https://github.com/hailo-ai/hailort
