Hello.

I recently received the m.2 metis accelerators and did a test on the boards provided by Axelera and got results close to the published benchmarks. It was succesful.

I then connected these accelerators to the Orin (via the m.2 slot) in order to use them also for the my Jetson AGX Orin environment. But in the voyager-sdk installation i got “WARNING: Failed to refresh pcie and firmware” error. The installation completes but the accelerator device does not show up on my system. 

In lspci -tv command I get the output attached to this post. Can’t see metis there.

I didn't see any information about the compatibility of these accelerators with Jetson systems (my m2 slot is M-key). If they are compatible, can you help me to fix the installation?

Thanks :)

HI ​@MehmetYigit, welcome on board!

Ah, interesting test - not sure if we’ve had any (internal) experience with this or not. Interesting that the Metis is hitting the expected benchmarks, but then there’s something tripping it up on the Orin.

Let me ask around, and we’ll get back to you right here!


Okay, got a bit of an update on this one for you ​@MehmetYigit 🙂

So, the engineering team is actually aware of the compatibility issues with the Orin, and it’s already under investigation as much as time and opportunity allow. But there’s no timeline on official compatibility at the moment, unfortunately. There’s a list of confirmed Metis M.2 compatible hosts here, in the meantime.

That being said, it’s useful to know that there are people out there who are interesting in combining Metis and the Orin, so I’ll definitely pass that along!

Stay tuned here on the community for any updates, and keep us posted on how things are going with your own investigation! Who knows - we might be able to figure it out together 😀


Hi,

Thanks so much for the update and for looking into this — really appreciate the support I’ll be sure to share any solutions I come across on my end as well.

Have a nice day :)
