Installing Frigate Dual Edge TPU Help

[ccigas]

Hello everyone, I am attempting to install the Dual Edge TPU from Google. I am able to see the two TPUs in lspci but I have no /dev/apex*. So I went to install the drivers from their config page. I quickly found out that this was going to take a while.

Followed the instructions until I got to "apt install gasket-dkms libedgetpu1-std". The gasket gave me issues. I updated to the latest kernel in "6.8.8-2-pve" and attempted this all again and had a ton of issues. At first it was the gpg key and after I fixed that I ran into this following error.

Consult /var/lib/dkms/gasket/1.0/build/make.log for more information.
Error! One or more modules failed to install during autoinstall.
Refer to previous errors for more information.

Not entirely sure how to resolve these errors. The make.log also says this.

My USB Coral is still working but I am really hoping to get this working. Can anyone help out?

It's the exact same issue I have. Any luck? I have one node working, but that was months back, and I can't see anything noticeably different tonight

Nope, haven’t had the chance to try anything since posting. Hoping someone here can help.

Bump, hope someone can help out.

Looks like the issue is that the driver is not yet updated for use with kernel version 6.8, see [1] [2]

This did the trick! Thanks!

For anyone having issues, I had to remove gasket-dkms package all together. Re-run my updates since the proxmox kernel update was not fixed yet. Then I cloned the github, cd into the dir and ran the command on the readme of the github. Worked like a charm.
