Windows SDK 1.6.0: MSI error during inference on Metis M.2

Hi everyone,

I am trying to get a Metis M.2 card working on Windows with Voyager SDK 1.6.0.

Current status:

  • Windows driver (MetisOmega 1.3.4) installed successfully
  • Secure Boot disabled
  • Test signing enabled
  • Device detected correctly by axdevice
  • Runtime firmware 1.6.0 loads successfully

axdevice -v shows:

Device 0: metis-0:0:0 1GiB m2
flver=1.3.2
bcver=1.4
device_runtime_firmware=v1.6.0

However, inference fails with both YOLOv5 and ResNet examples.

Example:

axrunmodel ...\resnet50-imagenet-onnx\1\model.json

[ERROR][waitForQueueBinaryCompletion]: Wait kernel failed with return code 1.
[libaxldev.c:140] Failed to wait for MSI 1: No error
FAIL: [WinError -1073741569] Windows Error 0xc00000ff

The device is detected and firmware loads, but execution fails when waiting for MSI interrupts.

Has anyone seen this issue before on Windows with a Metis M.2 board? Any suggestions on firmware, driver, BIOS, PCIe/MSI settings, or compatibility requirements?

Thanks!
