Unable to upgrade PCIE driver to 4.19.0 from 4.18.0

General

I’m using Hailo 8L with a Rpi5 on a Debian distribution. I have Hailo PCIE driver 4.18.0 installed and the system is working fine. My primary usage of Hailo is with Frigate. To upgrade to a newer Frigate version (0.15-beta3), I need to upgrade Hailo driver to 4.19.0.

I upgraded the drivers using the documentation here. The installation succeeds, but when I run hailortcli fw-control identify, the output is

[HailoRT] [warning] Unsupported firmware operation. Host: 4.18.0, Device: 4.19.0
Executing on device: 0000:04:00.0
Identifying board
Control Protocol Version: 2
Firmware Version: 4.19.0 (release,app,extended context switch buffer)
Logger Version: 0
Board Name: Hailo-8
Device Architecture: HAILO8L
Serial Number: HLDDLEB235101028
Part Number: HM21LB1C2KAE
Product Name: HAILO-8L AI ACC M.2 A+E KEY MODULE EXT TMP

This also makes Frigate fail since it errors out with an error saying that host is using old firmware version for Hailo.

Looking for some help to resolve this. Thanks!

Welcome to the Hailo Community!

Looks like you still have the old HailoRT version. Now you have a mismatch between the firmware on the Hailo-8L and the HailoRT on the host. What do you get when you run hailortcli --version?

This is what I get HailoRT-CLI version 4.18.0
