Hello,

I am testing some models and I am regularly facing this error message :

WARNING : No OpenCL GPU devices found
WARNING : Please check the documentation for installation instructions
Detecting... : 6%|██████▍ | 37/670 [00:01<00:14, 44.36frames/s][ERROR][axeCommandQueueExecuteCommandListsAsync]: Wait kernel failed with return code -1400.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
what(): axr_run_model failed with Error at zeCommandQueueExecuteCommandLists(cmdqueue, n_cmdlists, cmdlists, nullptr): cmdqueue_run_cmdlists: 319: Exit with error code: 0x7FFFFFFE : ZE_RESULT_ERROR_UNKNOWN
Aborted (core dumped)

I have used this command :

./inference.py yolov8m-coco media/alone.mp4 --no-display --show-stats --show-latency

Here is the link through my testing video : https://pixabay.com/videos/man-adult-road-walking-walk-76621/

To fix this I used this : 

axdevice --refresh

But this command doesn’t work all times and I have to do it multiple times to have a result.

Could someone help me to understand this error or give me an idea to solve it ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi ​@PF05 , great to see you! As a first step, can I ask which version of Voyager you’re using?

As I recall, you did get this working previously, is that right?

Hi Spanner,

I am using the last release the v1.5 and I was facing the same thing in the last release.

Hello ​@PF05 ,

These issues may be caused due to a stale Board Controller / Metis Firmware. Could you please provide the following details:

  • Which Metis product are you using? PCIe, M.2, or SBC?
  • When did you purchase the cards?
  • Have you performed a firmware upgrade recently? (Refer to guide: Link)

Next, try running axdevice multiple times until it succeeds and share the logs with us. The output should include the current board controller version and Metis firmware version.

For SDK v1.5.1, you must have Board Controller v7.1 and Metis Firmware v1.5.0
