+This implementation uses the [AXera Pulsar2 Toolchain](https://huggingface.co/AXERA-TECH/Pulsar2).
+
+See the [installation docs](../frigate/installation.md#axera) for information on configuring the AXEngine hardware.

+
+When configuring the AXEngine detector, you have to specify the model name.
+
+#### yolov9
+
+A yolov9 model is provided in the container at /axmodels and is used by this detector type by default.
+
+Use the model configuration shown below when using the axengine detector with the default axmodel:
+
+```yaml
+detectors:
+  axengine:
+    type: axengine
+
+model:
+  path: frigate-yolov9-tiny

 ## What does Frigate use the CPU for and what does it use a detector for? (ELI5 Version)

 This is taken from a [user question on reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/q8mgau/comment/hgqbxh5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3). Modified slightly for clarity.

 Next, you should configure [hardware object detection](/configuration/object_detectors#synaptics) and [hardware video processing](/configuration/hardware_acceleration_video#synaptics).

+### AXERA
+
+<details>
+<summary>AXERA accelerators</summary>
+AXERA accelerators are available in an M.2 form factor, compatible with both Raspberry Pi and Orange Pi. This form factor has also been successfully tested on x86 platforms, making it a versatile choice for various computing environments.
+
+#### Installation
+
+Using AXERA accelerators requires the installation of the AXCL driver. We provide a convenient Linux script to complete this installation.
+
+Follow these steps for installation:
+
+1. Copy or download [this script](https://github.com/ivanshi1108/assets/releases/download/v0.16.2/user_installation.sh).
+2. Ensure it has execution permissions with `sudo chmod +x user_installation.sh`
+3. Run the script with `./user_installation.sh`
+
+#### Setup
+
+To set up Frigate, follow the default installation instructions, for example: `ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:stable`
+
+Next, grant Docker permissions to access your hardware by adding the following lines to your `docker-compose.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+devices:
+  - /dev/axcl_host
+  - /dev/ax_mmb_dev
+  - /dev/msg_userdev
+```
+
+If you are using `docker run`, add this option to your command `--device /dev/axcl_host --device /dev/ax_mmb_dev --device /dev/msg_userdev`
+
+#### Configuration
+
+Finally, configure [hardware object detection](/configuration/object_detectors#axera) to complete the setup.
