I know it’s been a looong while but I finally got the urge to try using the coral once more and this time it worked!!!
I was doing some research and just randomly stumbled upon a possible solution when setting up AMD iGPU hardware acceleration for my jellyfin jail. I adjusted what was suggested here and here by dalgibbard. This is the config I ended up with for the jail:
--bind=/dev/bus/usb
--property=DeviceAllow=/dev/bus/usb
'--property=DeviceAllow=char-usb_device rwm'
Then I followed the official Google guide (you don’t need to install pycoral so step 1 is enough). However, with the gpg keys being depracated now (I think 
) I messed about with ChatGPT to get it installed properly instead of disabling the key verifications. Then I messed around with it with no luck until I got fed up (it actually even stopped showing up as Global Unichip Corp. at all) and just ran:
# sudo apt purge libedgetpu1-std
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree… Done
Reading state information… Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libedgetpu1-std*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
After this operation, 1,206 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y

Removing libedgetpu1-std:amd64 (16.0) …
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.36-9+deb12u13) …
Then I don’t know why but I decided to unplug and plug it back in one last time this time in a USB 3.0 5Gbps port not my 10Gpbs port and It magically started working!!!

and now it works in the latest Frigate 0.17 - frigate.detectors.plugins.edgetpu_tfl | TPU found, of course after passing through- /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usin docker-compose.yaml.
This is running no problem with 8ms inference on TrueNAS Scale Dragonfish-24.04.2.5.
I know most people already migrated to newer scale versions and the official APPS or LXC Containers but still wanted to document this just in case
