Google Coral USB support on Truenas Scale 25.10

Hello,

I would like to know when it will be possible again to use Google Coral USB on Truznas Scale 25.10, as it is possible on the 24.10 version ? It is to use with Frigate.

I’d say the chances for official support is pretty slim given the fact that the feature request to add the coral dkms driver has been denied

[Not Accepted] Coral gasket-dkms drivers

So basically, Google is selling a product that doesnt work. Product page: Mini PCIe Accelerator | Coral Requirements: Linux: 64-bit version of Debian 10 or Ubuntu 16.04 (or newer), and an x86-64 or ARMv8 system architecture Google claims this works on new Linux distros which is obviously false if it doesnt work with kernel 6.12 and newer. And I dont count community forked versions. Google should support their own hardware if they sell it to you. They just sell faulty product and it doesnt e…

However i don’t know if that driver is only required for the pcie version or also for the usb version.

I believe USB version doesnt need any additional driver and should work out of the box.

I asked ChatGPT why my cpu is still very high while the Coral is well recognized by Frigate.

It says that If apex_0 does NOT exisT, then Frigate cannot use the Coral, even if it is seen by lsusb.
