Compile the YOLOv11n Model to a Hailo HEF
Use the Hailo Model Zoo compiler to convert your fine‑tuned ONNX model into a Hailo Executable File (.hef) for deployment on the Raspberry Pi AI Kit.
With your Hailo environment activated, calibration images prepared and configuration files created, compile your model into a HEF file. The compilation process uses the calibration images to quantize the model for the Hailo‑8 hardware.
bash
# Activate your Hailo virtual environment if not already
source ~/hailo_venv/bin/activate
# Run the Hailo compiler
