I’ve seen questions by others like MrCaspan however I cannot register to the old community as it is read only now, so will post this here…
Just wanted to share that I managed to pass thru my pcie nvme Coral TPU to the Frigate IX app (truecharts) by following:
Then adding as you would a usb mount, but changing both device addresses to /dev/apex_0
Restart frigate app and it there…
Would love to hear some other experiences on the coral USB version with frigate. I posted here all my data.
I can’t get past the reset errors. Same thing with truecharts and truenas version. Read this about some advanced settings for USB for sphere setup not sure it could apply.
Heads up I authored the thread about the m.2 on the TrueCharts discord, I’ll updating to Dragonfish soon so I’ll update it as well there. Also insert 20 warnings here about dev tools / installing apt-get can brick your system lol
Wouldn’t it be simpler to run it in a Vm?
I’ve upgraded to Dragonfish, it blew away the apex modules etc…
How I got coral working:
enabled dev mode via command > install-dev-tools
Ran this step of the script: (remove ## as I can’t post links being a new member)
#!/bin/sh
mkdir /etc/apt/keyrings
echo “deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/coral.gpg] ht##tps://packages.cloud.google.com/apt## coral-edgetpu-stable main” | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/coral-edgetpu.list
wget -O- ht##tps://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg## | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/coral.gpg > /dev/null
apt-get update
apt-get install gasket-dkms libedgetpu1-std
sh -c “echo ‘SUBSYSTEM=="apex", MODE="0660", GROUP="apex"’ >> /etc/udev/rules.d/65-apex.rules”
groupadd apex
modprobe apex
udevadm control --reload-rules
It failed to install on newer kernel…
“Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.6.20-production+truenas (x86_64)”
Proceed at your own risk 
This installs a bunch of packages that could break Truenas functionality, but I like to to live on the (coral) edge…
root@truenas[~]# sudo apt install devscripts debhelper dh-dkms -y

Then run the following:
git clone https://github.com/google/gasket-driver
cd gasket-driver
debuild -us -uc -tc -b -d
cd ..
dpkg -i gasket-dkms_1.0-18_all.deb
reboot
Both my pcie /dev/apex_0 /dev/apex_1 are present and working as before in frigate.
Simpler sure, but not necessary, especially if you’re running TrueCharts or another 3rd party app repository, aka no eligible for iX support anyways.
Can confirm new steps work as per @campagnolo , just tested myself, can see the ls /dev/apex_0 and my Frigate works with my coral detector lol
By not necessary what do you mean?
A virtual machine is Tried/True technology. KVM is a highly mature product, and it allows you to use standard tools inside. Time investment is low, stability is high. Computers are so fast these days that the overhead of virtualization is almost negligible.
It’s cool that you’ve done this, not trying to discourage you or anything. I just don’t understand. In my opinion this solution is a high time investment for a more brittle solution.
Given the track record of TrueCharts, I wouldn’t use it for anything more than a few throw away apps. I really like Scrutiny and Uptime Kuma, and I use them with hostpath mounts. But these apps aren’t really doing anything from a CPU cycle perspective. At least not compared to things like Frogate, Blue Iris or Plex.
Production, stable solutions are going to be much easier to achieve with virtual machines. Resource intensive containers like this just don’t make sense unless you need to scale horizontally.
The thread clearly states TrueCharts and Coral TPU, like you said, you do you, run a VM, run HaOS, seperate your storage from all your apps, etc
No, in fact I do it all in TrueNAS as my hypervisor.
I’m genuinely interested in understanding why this route is the path you’re interested in pursuing
