Google has abandoned the Coral TPU (lemmy.world)

The Coral TPU driver has basically been abandoned by Google so if you are running a Linux kernel newer than 6.2 it will not function.

https://github.com/google/gasket-driver is the original driver which was archived on April 18, 2026

You can try the driver https://github.com/feranick/gasket-driver or https://github.com/dude84/gasket-driver-coral or search through the forks of the original gasket-dkms driver https://github.com/google/gasket-driver/forks

So in the future your options are to pin your kernel to 6.2, upgrade your hardware, hope that someone will keep a gasket-dkms fork updated for newer kernel versions, or make your own fork to do so yourself.

I wonder, is it due to architecture limitations? They don’t see a roadmap ahead for it anymore in light of changing AI hardware demands?

I assume the hardware is end of life and not just the Linux driver.

    I'm guessing it's because more powerful hardware is coming out all the time. But for a lot of homelabs more power isn't really needed to watch a few cameras for basic detection.

    And yes the hardware hasn't been made in a while but new old stock is still being sold. Hence the reason for the post.

    For a few cameras with basic detection, an Intel 6th gen processor or newer is sufficient to run openvino on the iGPU. Works great. https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/object_detectors/#openvino-detector

    This is great, if it works, on my 8500t I had nothing but problems.

    I use it on a 12th gen CPU and it worked first try. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Yeah it seemed to work for me and would then hard lock the system between 24h and a week later requiring a manual power cycle. Several people experienced the same, we had a couple of issues on the frigate github but I don't think anyone ever figured out why. Definitely openvino on the igpu though, openvino on CPU was fine.
