Benchmarking-YOLOv8-on-Raspberry-PI-reComputer-r1000-and-AIkit-Hailo-8L

This repository demonstrates object detection model using YOLOv8 on a Raspberry Pi CM4 with Hailo Acceleration. The Raspberry Pi AI Kit enhances the performance of the Raspberry Pi and unlock its potential in artificial intelligence and machine learning applications, like smart retail, smart traffic and more. Although the Raspberry AI Kit is designed for Raspberry Pi 5, we have experimented it on our CM4-powered edge gateway. Excited about turning our edge device into an intelligent IoT gateway!

Hardware Preparation

reComputer R1000: Raspberry Pi CM4 Gateway, 4GB RAM, 32GB eMMC

Raspberry Pi AI Kit

M.2 hat Raspberry Pi 5(Only need for Raspberry Pi 5)

Install Hailo-8L on the reComputer R1000

step 1. Install the Hailo-8L on the Raspberry Pi CM4

Step 2. Switch to use X11 backend

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo raspi-config

Select option "6 Advanced Options":

Then select option "A6 Wayland":

Choose "W1 X11" to use X11 backend:

Click "OK" to exit.

Step 3. Update system & Set pcie to gen3

Select option "6 Advanced Options":

Then select option "A8 PCIe Speed":

Choose "Yes" to enable PCIe Gen 3 mode:

Click "Finish" to exit.

Step 4. Install Hailo Software & Verify Installation

Install hailo-all and reboot

sudo apt install hailo-all
sudo reboot

Check that the Hailo software is installed correctly by running the following command:

hailortcli fw-control identify

The true result is as follows:

Check hailo hardware is installed correctly by running the following command:

lspci | grep Hailo

The true result is as follows:

Install AI kit on Respberry Pi5

Step 1. Install the Hailo-8L on the Raspberry Pi 5

Please reference Respberry Pi 5 to install AI kit on Respberry Pi5.

Step 2. Install Hailo Software & Verify Installation

Install hailo-all and reboot

sudo apt install hailo-all
sudo reboot

Check that the Hailo software is installed correctly by running the following command:

hailortcli fw-control identify

The true result is as follows:

Check hailo hardware is installed correctly by running the following command:

lspci | grep Hailo

The true result is as follows:

Step 3. Set pcie to gen2/gen3(gen3 is faster than gen2)

Add follows to /boot/firmware/config.txt

#Enable the PCIe external connector

dtparam=pciex1

#Force Gen 3.0 speeds

dtparam=pciex1_gen=3

Note

If you want to use gen2,please comment dtparam=pciex1_gen=3
