Metis PCIe

I wanted to try the new SDK version `v1.3.1` but I now run into authentication issues with the installer.Authentication is required for the package index URL: https://software.axelera.ai/artifactory/axelera-dev-pypi/ - for the subset developmentChecking credentials with: pip install --dry-run --force --no-deps --no-cache-dir --break-system-packages --index-url https:/<email>:<token>@software.axelera.ai/artifactory/axelera-dev-pypi/ axelera_compilerERROR: Authentication failed for the supplied email address (florianzaruba@gmail.com) and token.When trying to run the step manually it succeeds though: ➜ voyager-sdk git:(v1.3.1) ✗ pip install --dry-run --force --no-deps --no-cache-dir --break-system-packages --index-url https://florianzaruba@gmail.com:<token>@software.axelera.ai/artifactory/axelera-dev-pypi/ axelera_compilerDefaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeableLooking in indexes: https://florianzaruba%40gmail.com:****@software.axele

Dear all,I am trying to get my hands on the Metis PCIe card on my current working PC, beingmainboard: Asus Prime X570-P CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X OS: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS, 6.8.0-58-generic x86_64The first issue I face is that the warm-reset does not seem to work for me, i.e. if I issue a reboot without re-powering the system, the Metis device does not show up in lspci, while after a power-down (with physical PSU switching off) it is there. This is reproducible and based on my experience points to either my mainboard BIOS issuing a wrong reset sequence to the PCIe slot, or the device itself not issuing a full reset sequence on warm-boot. Since I know how to get the card detected, this is only an annoyance - but I saw that also another user of AMD64 system in the forum has similar issues and the problem might go deeper.Which leads to the second issue I am observing and which I filed already a support request but realized here would be the better place to discuss it.According to David M. to ch

After finally getting my metis card properly accessible through PCI, it turned out I need to upgrade the FW to the latest version:(venv) root@zefir-PC:~/voyager-sdk# axdevice [libdmabuf.c:1720] Device command returned an error code.[libdmabuf.c:1721] Consider inspecting the device log via `triton_trace --slog`.[...]Device 0: metis-0:a:0 board_type=pcie fwver='v1.2.0-rc2+bl1-stage0' clock=800MHz(0-3:0MHz) mvm=0-3:-1%(venv) root@zefir-PC:~/voyager-sdk# triton_trace --slogVersion mismatch!Actual="v1.2.0-rc2+bl1" Expected="v1.2.5"Please update device firmware before continuing.I proceeded like described in FW flashing tutorial at github(venv) root@zefir-PC:~/Axelera.ai/firmware_release_public_v1.2.0# ./flash_update.sh flash_bundle.img>>> loading new AIPU runtime stage0>>> the following operations updates the flash content Make sure to only run this operation if really needed Also make sure to not power cycle the devices or it might be rendered non-functional.do y

Hi all,not sure if my issue is related to this one, but symptoms are at least similar, so I hope it matches best here. Otherwise sorry for derailing.I am trying to get my hands on the PCIe metis card on my AMD64 based system driven by an ASUS PRIME X570-P mainboard under Ubuntu-24.04 (6.8.0-58-generic x86_64). First issue was that the card did no show up under lspci, no matter which kernel boot options I tried. Then I looked into the mainboard BIOS to double-check the peripheral config and noticed that the PCIe slots are not fully independent. In fact, the board has two PCIex16 slots and three PCIex1, of whose the latter are meant for expansion cards and the former for graphic cards. They are pre-configured for ‘auto’ mode, which means that the BIOS detects how the slots are populated and splits available lanes between the two x16 slots.I changed this ‘auto’ setting to manually split the lanes to ‘x8+x8’ and after rebooting the card is now visible to the kernel:zefir@zefir-PC:~$ lspci

Hey!Is there any support planned for 24.04? I don’t have a machine available with the older Ubuntu version. It says native support on 22.04 here but not that it is completely unsupported. Thanks ➜  voyager-sdk git:(release/v1.2.5) ./install.sh --all --media --user florianzaruba[at]gmail.com --token <token>Install/update prerequisite packages required by the installer itself (y/n): yInstall/update prerequisite packages required by the installer itself (y/n): yERROR: cfg/config-ubuntu-2404-amd64.yaml: File not found 

Hi! I represent a large organization and am interested in conducting a feasibility study using your technology. Before proceeding, could you kindly provide a white paper detailing your technology, along with technical documentation showcasing the use cases the Metis chip supports.Kind regards,G.

hi there,I was wondering if you have a planned feature to enables the usage of multiple PCIe cards in the same system. if so, is there any feature to use large models over multiple cards?
