Edgetpu: Using Coral Dev Board as accelerator

[yieniggu]

Hello, is there a way to use the dev board as accelerator. I'm trying to run a tpu model on my laptop but using the tpu module of the dev board.

I've configured it properly and ran some models on it. But when I try to use it from my laptop it outputs:

Error: No tpu devices detected!

Thanks in advance for any help!

Unfortunately, you'll have to move your code to the devboard and execute it there.
Or you can use a USB Accelerator or PCIe module to use the EdgeTPU on your laptop.
Well, there is also an option of creating a server on the dev board and send data there for inference, but then you'll be hitting network bottle necks

Thanks for your reply! Do you have some links on how to create a server?

@yieniggu Glad you asked :)
It's actually a personal project of mine:
