Problem/Justification
Frigate focuses on the Coral Edge TPU and it would greatly help the app take advantage of this hardware without resorting to any hacky way of doing it as even developer mode fails to install the gasket-dkms drivers in EE Beta
Impact
Reading on this forum many people have requested it through the years and if you need one for testing I will gladly send the team a dual coral pcie TPU for testing.
User Story
Detection on CPU is stated in Frigate that its for testing only and only leaves us with an expensive power hungry gpu or newer cpu which not everyone has. If we can implement the drivers not only will we have a more efficient system but also have a faster detection rate than a gpu and cpu.
