## π cv-model-pt_to_hef Overview
Convert Computer Vision model .pt to .hef for Rasberry Pi 5 Hailo AI HAT
## π Preparation
1. Prepare docker enviroment
Follow these steps:
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
docker --version
sudo docker run hello-world
sudo systemctl stop docker.socket
sudo systemctl stop docker.service
sudo systemctl status docker
sudo systemctl status docker.socket
sudo mv /var/lib/docker /home/$USER/docker_data
sudo ln -s /home/$USER/docker_data /var/lib/docker
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
Docker Root Dir: /home/$USER/docker_data
```
2. `Go to the`[`HAILO AI DEVELOPER ZONE`](https://hailo.ai/developer-zone/software-downloads/)`adress and download .zip file with this configration: Software Package[AI Software Suite], Software Sub-Package[AI Software Suite], Architecture[x86], OS[Linux], Python Version[3.8]`
3. `In model training, place 60%β80% of the photos you use into the train/images folder. The photos should be raw, unlabelled images β there should be no labeling process applied to them. You donβt need labels or a classes.txt file; only the images folder is required.`
3. Get your .pt model and convert it to .onnx
1. Run this .py code at the same directory with your .pt model:
```bash
!pip install ultralytics
from ultralytics import YOLO
model = YOLO("model.pt")
model.export(format="onnx")
```
## π¦ Setup
1. `unzip hailo8_ai_sw_suite_2025-10_docker.zip -d /home/$USER/docker_hailo`
2. `cd /home/$USER/docker_hailo/`
3. `Edit your .sh document and delete these lines:`
> -v /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro \
> -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro`
4. `./hailo_ai_sw_suite_docker_run.sh --override`
> *If you want to continue with your already configured project:*./hailo_ai_sw_suite_docker_run.sh --resume
5. /home/$USER/docker_hailo/shared_with_docker/train/images/(60%β80% of your photos)
/home/$USER/docker_hailo/shared_with_docker/models/model.onnx
6. `git clone https://github.com/LukeDitria/RasPi_YOLO.git`
7. `cd RasPi_YOLO/` Then you shold be in '/local/workspace/RasPi_YOLO/' directory
8. `python hailo_calibration_data.py --data_dir /local/shared_with_docker/train/images/ --target_dir /local/shared_with_docker/doc`
9. `hailomz compile --ckpt /local/shared_with_docker/models/model.onnx --calib-path /local/shared_with_docker/doc/calib/ --yaml /local/workspace/hailo_model_zoo/hailo_model_zoo/cfg/networks/yolov11n.yaml --classes 2 --hw-arch hailo8`
> β οΈ **Warning:** The number after --classes must match the number of object classes used in your model
