Using Hailo 8 with Radxa 5B Plus

General
1

I’m using Radxa 5B plus with their official image (kernel 6.1.43).
I tried to install your PCI drivers with deb file and compiling it from github.

In both scenarios the OS is not loading successfully.
Any idea what should I do?

I tried to follow this discussion but without success. getting the same result

After the driver installation the red light is turned off once the kernel is loaded.
I’m using PCI express with M2.Key connector

I’m able to see also the PCI available before installing the driver

lspci | grep -i hailo

Hi Erez

The default GPU for Rock 5B+ is Panthor. If you’re unable to boot into the GUI after install the Hailo driver and insert the Hailo module into the M.2 slot, please try switch the GPU to Mali following this guide: Switch GPU driver | Radxa Docs

After making this change, the GUI should load successfully.

Best,
Morgan

Thanks @Morgan-Radxa

I switched to Mali GPU but I’m still not able to load the OS correctly.
I can see on my screen that services are trying to load but it is getting stuck and not continuing to load the UI.

Hailo Team, Any advice?

hi @Erez

Could you try remove the hailo module and reboot the 5B+ to check if the OS boots correctly.

best,
Morgan

Yes. It does.

Already did it several times

BTW - I was able to install the drivers and use Hailo with Armbian OS.
