CanaKit Raspberry Pi 5 AI Kit Demo and Insta Installation Notes

Step 1: Update System

Ensure your system is up-to-date. If you are installing Raspberry Pi OS for the first time, make sure you allow for the software to update during the initial wizard. If you have already installed Raspberry Pi OS, open a command prompt window and run the following commands to fully update your system.

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade

Step 2: Install Hailo Package

Install the required Hailo package.

sudo apt install hailo-all

Step 3: Reboot

Reboot your Raspberry Pi.

sudo reboot

Step 4: Identify Hailo Device

Verify the Hailo device is correctly identified.

hailortcli fw-control identify

Step 5: Clone Example Repository

Clone the Hailo example repository.

git clone https://github.com/hailo-ai/hailo-rpi5-examples.git
cd hailo-rpi5-examples

Step 6: Setup Environment

Source the environment setup script.

source setup_env.sh

Step 7: Install Dependencies

Install the necessary Python dependencies.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 8: Download Resources

Download the required resources for the demo.

./download_resources.sh

Step 9: Run Detection Demo

Run the detection demo with a sample video file.

python basic_pipelines/detection.py --input resources/detection0.mp4

To run the detection demo with a connected camera, use the following command replacing video0 with the correct number for your camera device:

python basic_pipelines/detection.py --input /dev/video0

Tip: You can use the following command to get a list of devices to identify the correct number. Note this will show both detected supported USB cameras as well as official Raspberry Pi Cameras.
