On Raspberry Pi OS **Bookworm**, the kernel includes an older version of the Hailo driver that is incompatible with Frigate. You **must** follow the installation steps below to install the correct driver version, and you **must** disable the built-in kernel driver as described in step 1.
On Raspberry Pi OS **Trixie**, the Hailo driver is no longer shipped with the kernel. It is installed via DKMS, and the conflict described below does not apply. You can simply run the installation script.

If you are using a Raspberry Pi, you need to blacklist the built-in kernel Hailo driver to prevent conflicts. First, check if the driver is currently loaded:
First, check if the driver is currently loaded:
```bash
lsmod | grep hailo
```
If it shows `hailo_pci`, unload it:
```bash
sudo rmmod hailo_pci
sudo modprobe -r hailo_pci
```
Now blacklist the driver to prevent it from loading on boot:
Then rename the built-in driver so it can be restored later if needed:
```bash
echo "blacklist hailo_pci" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-hailo_pci.conf
sudo mv /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media/pci/hailo/hailo_pci.ko.xz \
/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media/pci/hailo/hailo_pci.ko.xz.bak
```
Update initramfs to ensure the blacklist takes effect:
Now refresh the kernel module map so the system recognizes the change:
```bash
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo depmod -a

Reboot your Raspberry Pi:
