DeGirum framework and Coral dual edge tpu

Hi,

I’m trying different hardware platform and I’m going to try a Coral dual edge tpu.

I want to maintain the same code I developed for Hailo8 and with DeGirum it is possible.

I’m asking if someone has recent experience setup in Degirum a coral edge tpu in general, usb or M.2..

Thanks,

Antonio

Hi @anto.ferro

Yes, we have worked with edge TPUs quite a bit and our cloud farm has edge TPUs along with a model zoo for it. Let us know what type o fhelp you need.

Hi, @anto.ferro ,

Same code which you wrote for Hailo will work with any supported accelerator including Coral: you just need to specify another model name.

Please be advised however, that Google dropped support of Coral in recent TFlite runtimes (so we have to maintain Coral PySDK plugin with older TFLite runtime - but this is our problems :slight_smile:).

This means that new model supply for Coral is now scarce.

You may also consider RK3588-based systems like Radxa ROCK 5 or Orange Pi. RK3588 is supported by PySDK and has 6TOPS built-in AI accelerator, which provides decent performance, better than Coral. Since it is built-in, total system cost is very low: you may have full blown computer for less than $100 and it will be faster than RaspberryPi5.

Hi @vladk ,

Thanks for suggestions, I didn’t know about RK3588 and some Radxa boards probably are what I need, they make it also in ITX board format instead of SBC Rpi format.

I’m learning a lot of things from you guys, great Community!

Hi @anto.ferro, would you consider @vladk’s last reply to be the answer to your question?

Just seeing if we can mark a solution so others can find the answer easily. :slightly_smiling_face:
