Hello everyone!
I am Luca Gessi, from Italy. 
I am a (lucky) owner of Aetina board with M2 Axelera Metis. 
Unfortunatly the board arrived without the SDK installed. I installed it using the github guide. The procedure faced several issues and broken packages. I had to run it several time but at the end the installation completed.

From this I tried to run simple command for testing the board (as suggested on the getting started guide):

./inference.py --no-display yolov5s-v7-coco dataset

 

However the inference failed:

 

(venv) aetina@aetina:~/voyager-sdk$ ./inference.py --no-display yolov5s-v7-coco dataset

The board seems to be recognized by the system, axdevice outputs :
Device 0: metis-0:1:0 1GiB m2 flver=1.2.0-rc2 bcver=1.0 clock=800MHz(0-3:800MHz) mvm=0-3:100%

Metis also has the heat dissipator.
Thank you for your assistance.
