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.
What is a good m. 2 alternative? I was looking to use my old rx580 but it appears that rocm dropped support for it
Perhaps the RX580 is usable via Vulkan? I tried Vulkan with llama.cpp on a R9700 recently and it was generally faster than ROCm.
There aren’t any. Nobody is manufacting or developing for these devices because they’re slower than the rest of the hardware you already have, see e.g. /r/frigate_nvr/comments/1os24t4/has_anyone_successfully_used_the_google_coral_m2/
Your CPU is probably good enough for some stuff like openvino, if it’s at all recent. 6th gen Intel is the bare minimum, but obviously newer is better. Or, sell that card and buy a new one. I do, unfortunately, recommend nvidia, since that’s what the vast majority of developers are targeting.
