Is there any way to install coral apex drivers? Please note that ZimaOS is locked and does not allow you to install packages with apt or dpkg, you cannot have it work on my mini pc.
I don’t like having back to CasaOS i like ZimaOS because it has a better web and have more options.
Hey, could you provide a detailed list of needed drivers and their dependencies? We are interested in your scenario.
Hi, of course in my case I’m using Google Coral PCIe.
And the drivers for it require installing these packages.
I installed this before on my Ubuntu server and they worked fine.
Thank you.
And please provide the specs of your machine and the version of ZimaOS.
About Frigate, we have a detailed docs about how to implement AI-Description-with-ZimaOS:
Is this helpful?
I can’t do that Frigate+Olama implementation with a Coral TPU.
ZimaOS 1.4.1-beta1
Harware:
LENOVO
ThinkCentre M73
4x Intel(R) Core™ i5-4570 CPU @ 3.20GHz
DDR3 16 GiB
Since all hardware drivers for ZimaOS are pre-built, they cannot be installed later.
I’d be happy to integrate the driver for this device on the system, but since I don’t have this device, I hope you can help test it.
I can build a separate system update package if you want, and you’ll need to manually update the system to verify that it works.
Perfect if I can try it when you have it ready.
Hello, I built a ZimaOS update package with gasket driver.
This is a dedicated beta version with kernel version 6.12.
You can get updates via this link: https://github.com/jerrykuku/staff/releases/download/v0.1.2/zimaos_zimacube-1.4.1-gasket-driver.raucb
Download it to ZimaOS, then use rauc install <raucb path> to install the update, and reboot the system once the installation is complete.
Note: This is a beta release, there may be other issues, if you run into problems you can still choose a different slot at boot time to roll back to the old system.
Hope to get your test feedback.
Is working now. This will be on the next beta by default? Thanks.
We’ll be releasing an official version of 1.4.1 soon. If it’s not too late it should be in the latest version. Cheers!
Hi Jerry, I see the new release ZimaOS 1.4.1 but I don’t see in the release notes if the gasket-driver was implemented. I don’t want to install the new release and lose that driver. Thanks.
Hi, version 1.4.1 has already integrated the gasket-driver, you can upgrade with confidence.
Hi, I would like to use coral.io over USB. At the moment using ZimaOS v1.5.1-beta1. Could you please include drivers for USB as you did for PCI?
there you can find requirements Get started with the USB Accelerator | Coral
I would like also to be able to use my Coral TPU device with Frigate running on the Zima Board 2. Plugging it into one of the Zima Board 2’s USB ports just shows a solid white light on it.I have moved Frigate from my Home Assistant Green as it was slowing the system to a crawl. Many thanks for any help.
lsusb does recoginize that the Coral TPU has been plugged in (the AIC is my wireless USB dongle),
I have added in the following to the Frigate config file:
detectors:
coral:
type: edgetpu
device: usb
+1 to adding support for USB Coral TPU device please. @Zima-Jerry thanks~!
Since I don’t have these devices here, it would be better if you could provide the VID and PID of the device for better positioning drive.
Hi Jerry,
I have the Coral USB plugged into my ZimaBoard2.
What is the best way of providing you with the VID and PID values you require?
Can I find these values from running the Linux command lsusb in a shell window?
What do you mean by better positioning drive?
Many Thanks.
Gavin Baker.
Hi Gavin,
Yes, you’re exactly right.
How to get the VID and PID
You can get both values by running this command in the ZimaOS shell:
lsusb
You’ll see output like:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 18d1:9302 Google Inc.
In this example:
18d19302If you see more than one USB device listed, just share the line that corresponds to the Coral device.
What “better positioning drive” means
What Jerry is referring to is identifying the device correctly so the right driver/module can be matched to it in ZimaOS.
Once the exact VID/PID is known, it’s much easier to confirm whether:
Next step
Post the full lsusb output (or at least the Coral line), and that should give enough information to move forward.
Hi George,
The specific portion of lsusb output is:
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 1a6e:089a Global Unichip Corp.
I have confirmed that this is the USB device by executing lsusb with the device unplugged and then again with the device plunged in.
Many Thanks.
Gavin Baker.
