OUR OBSERVATIONLast verified: 2026-09-27 · Build 1.9.37
setup_akida_treiber.sh removes the BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_KERNEL line from dkms.conf and replaces the Makefile abort above kernel 6.9 with the 6.9 branch, then installs via DKMS and registers the module for boot.
lspci | grep -i -c brainchip
lsmod | grep akida
ls -l /dev/akd1500_*
python3 -c "import akida; print(akida.devices())"Expected: All four layers agree on the installed devices.
These are project patches, not vendor-maintained instructions.
