3 - Coral AI Detector

Using a Coral EdgeTPU PCIe (b+m key) for detection

Frigate group strongly recommended these detectors, but man was setup a journey.
The final version below seems simple enough, but it took awhile to get there.

After creating ‘gasket*.deb’ initially, the easy way to install:

• hardware install coral detector

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && \
sudo apt install dkms -y

• COPY ‘gasket*.deb’ to server (using NFS is easiest)
• Install driver package

sudo dpkg -i gasket-dkms_1.0-18_all.deb

• Update devices

sudo modprobe apex

• Check for your apex listing, hardware, and PCIe driver:

lsmod | grep apex
lspci -nn | grep 089a
ls /dev/apex_0

If you need to rebuild the gasket*.deb

• Install like 300 packages:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && \
sudo apt install devscripts debhelper dh-dkms dkms -y

• cd to a directory, like ~/coraldevice

git clone https://github.com/google/gasket-driver.git

cd gasket-driver; debuild -us -uc -tc -b; cd ..

• gasket*.deb file should be in list of files

ls -l
