What is a good m. 2 alternative? I was looking to use my old rx580 but it appears that rocm dropped support for it
Perhaps the RX580 is usable via Vulkan? I tried Vulkan with llama.cpp on a R9700 recently and it was generally faster than ROCm.
There aren't any. Nobody is manufacting or developing for these devices because they're slower than the rest of the hardware you already have, see e.g. https://reddit.com/r/frigate_nvr/comments/1os24t4/has_anyone_successfully_used_the_google_coral_m2/
Your CPU is probably good enough for some stuff like openvino, if it's at all recent. 6th gen Intel is the bare minimum, but obviously newer is better. Or, sell that card and buy a new one. I do, unfortunately, recommend nvidia, since that's what the vast majority of developers are targeting.
I replaced (sold) my coral usb late last year after using it for 3 years. I upgraded my home server and wanted to go M.2 and noticed that frigate started to support a new chip, with many times the performance of the coral. I went with a Hailo-8. It's been flawless.
Recommendation: use the .deb driver that Hailo provides, it gets installed via dkms and survives kernel updates.
I saw the hailo. It is a bit pricey but it seems to be the only option. It is cheaper than a good gpu
Yes. They have two options, I have the 8, there is also the 8L which is cheaper and still 3X the coral so surely more than enough.
If you install the official .deb, it's a set-and-forget type experience, pretty great. 6ms inference with 5 full HD cams. I don't even bother with the substreams.
