M.2 Accelerator with Dual Edge TPU M.2-2230 (E-key)

This is the one that fits in the pciex1 slot that normally contains your wireless NIC (if you have one installed). Great for a desktop board with the empty slot. Not great for a laptop, which is probably using the slot for wireless nic.

First tpu I've purchased. After install Win10 device manager could see it( no default microsoft drivers), instructions provided on the Coral site were accurate and made the driver installation easy. Still learning about tensor units and training but the hardware seems good.

The first TPU that was sent was defective. I tried for about 3 hours, could not get it to function. Requested a replacement from Amazon. Received a replacement, and all is working. Sent the original unit back.

I installed the TPU into a OrangePi5+ for using with dockers and frigate. ist has been a couple of weeks, I tested on ubuntu and debian and can't mate OS recognise both TPU.I thinks it is a drivers problem, I can neither confirm nor deny it..

Ordering and I'll update later, but be aware that if your M2 E slot only has 1 PCIe lane, you won't be using both coprocessors. I miss when you could reply to reviews, they were saying it may be a drivers issue but looking up the OrangePi5+ they mentioned, that device looks to be a single PCIE lane on the M2 e-key slot.

Paired this with Ableconn PCIe Adapter Card. Inserted into ASUS Rog Strix B550-f MOBO with AMD 5700G CPU. MOBO Bios and Chip Set and drivers at latest version. Connected one SATA drive where the OS and GRUB landed and one bootable USB flash drive with the ISO file. This would not work with Debian 12 because of Python 3.11 so I found ISO of Debian 11 with Python 3.9, added CURL and GIT-All, and added some USERID's to Groups, waited for the stars to align, and everything worked. I was going to try to make this work with Windows 11 but I think it would be easier to part the Red Sea.

Very good device, easy to install & set-up.
