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’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)_/¯
