Using a Hailo AI Accelerator on Mixtile Blade 3

Using a Hailo AI Accelerator on Mixtile Blade 3

Mixtile Blade 3 (also known as Blade 3) has a U.2 interface that can be extended to M.2 with an adapter, making it possible to integrate with a Hailo AI accelerator for higher AI performance.

This document describes how to install a Hailo-8L M.2 AI accelerator to Blade 3 and run YOLO demos on Hailo-8L.

前提条件

始める前に、あなたが持っていることを確認してください：

Installed Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop on Blade 3 (see Installing an Operating System on Mixtile Blade 3).
Connected Blade 3 to the Internet.
Connected Blade 3 to a monitor.
Installed the Hailo AI accelerator to Blade 3 as follows:

注：

To avoid insufficient power supply, it’s recommended that you install the OS first before installing the Hailo AI accelerator.

Setting up Hailo environments

To integrate a Hailo AI accelerator with Blade 3, install HailoRT, PCIe Driver, and TAPPAS.

Installing HailoRT and PCIe Driver

インストール dkms:

sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get install -y dkms

Download HailoRT and PCIe Driver to a desired directory:

wget https://downloads.mixtile.com/doc-files/hailo/hailort-pcie-driver_4.19.0_all.deb \
https://downloads.mixtile.com/doc-files/hailo/hailort_4.19.0_arm64.deb

Install HailoRT and PCIe Driver:

sudo apt install ./hailort-pcie-driver_4.19.0_all.deb ./hailort_4.19.0_arm64.deb

If messages below are prompted, input y:

Do you wish to activate hailort service? (required for most pyHailoRT use cases) [y/N]:
Do you wish to use DKMS? [Y/n]:

Reboot Blade 3.

Verify if the Hailo AI accelerator is recognized by the system:

hailortcli fw-control identify

If you see an output similar to the one below, the Hailo AI accelerator is recognized successfully:

Installing TAPPAS

TAPPAS is Hailo’s set of full application examples, implementing pipeline elements and pre-trained AI tasks. You can install it as follows:

依存関係をインストールします：

sudo apt-get install -y rsync ffmpeg x11-utils python3-dev python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-virtualenv python-gi-dev \
libgirepository1.0-dev gcc-12 g++-12 cmake git libzmq3-dev librga-dev libopencv-dev python3-opencv libcairo2-dev libgirepository1.0-dev \

Install TAPPAS:
```
git clone https://github.com/hailo-ai/tappas -b v3.29.0
cd tappas
./install.sh --skip-hailort
```
注：
1. The installation may take about an hour to complete.
2. Enter the password when prompted.

Verify TAPPAS installation:

gst-inspect-1.0 hailotools

If you see an output similar to the one below, TAPPAS is installed successfully:

Running Hailo demos

Download the Hailo demo project to a desired directory (let’s say the home directory):

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/hailo-ai/hailo-rpi5-examples.git
git checkout 123e675 # The main branch currently has an unfixed bug. Checkout to this tested commit as a workaround.
cd hailo-rpi5-examples

Set up environments:
```
source setup_env.sh
```
依存関係をインストールします：
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Download resources:
```
./download_resources.sh
```
Run the demos below as needed:
重要だ：
- If you have performed the operations above from remote access such as SSH, before running the demos below, you need to connect Blade 3 to a monitor, open Blade 3’s terminal, and perform steps 1-2 again to set up the environments. Otherwise, errors will occur.
- If you have restarted Blade 3 or opened a new terminal, also perform steps 1-2 again to set up the environments.
