Coral USB not detected on Frigate - Intel NUC

Hi guys,

I have been using Frigate with CPU Detection on my Intel NUC, with no issues.
Trying to decrease CPU Usage, brought a Coral USB.

Tried the Coral on my Windows laptop, with no issues, can classify the “parrot” example of the coral official webpage.

C:\Users\fbent\coral\pycoral>python3 examples/classify_image.py --model test_data/mobilenet_v2_1.0_224_inat_bird_quant_edgetpu.tflite --labels test_data/inat_bird_labels.txt --input test_data/parrot.jpg
----INFERENCE TIME----
Note: The first inference on Edge TPU is slow because it includes loading the model into Edge TPU memory.
99.5ms
11.7ms

Ara macao (Scarlet Macaw): 0.75781

When i first connect the Coral to my NUC, i get this ID with lsusb:

Bus 001 Device 009: ID 1a6e:089a

After i run the Frigate AddOn, this changes to:

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 18d1:9302

But when i run the Frigate (Full Access), i get this error:

2025-02-13 22:31:53.013355640 [2025-02-13 19:31:52] frigate.detectors.plugins.edgetpu_tfl INFO : TPU found

I have tried:

  • Restarting operating system.
  • Several USB Cables.
  • USB Powered Hub.
  • Frigate (Full Access) with Protection Mode Disabled.

Any idea of what else can i do?

Thanks!
Flavio.
