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 wonder, is it due to architecture limitations? They don’t see a roadmap ahead for it anymore in light of changing AI hardware demands?

    I assume the hardware is end of life and not just the Linux driver.

      It’s due to the inner workings of the Coral TPU being basically a black box, so even if the community wanted to, we can’t just reverse engineer a driver.

      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.
