Hey All,
I tried esx8 again and i had the same issue with the USB dying after 1-2 days and having to be unplugged/replugged in.
I was using the method from this site …
I attempted to get this working again with esx 8 but unfortunately no luck as there is no way to pass through the usb controller and get the coral AI device showing up on the VM.
I have a temporary work around but it requires another device that is always switched on.
Download this application https://www.virtualhere.com/
Get the server edition for the usb and the client edition for the vm.
1. start the server edition (i had issues with usb 3.1 so had to use usb 3.0 port)
2. start the client edition
3. ./vhclientx86_64 -t list (this should show the devices.. you should see --> 0x089a hostname.1)
4. ./vhclientx86_64 -t use,hostname.1 (where hostname is your computer name and the usb address)
5. use the coral software https://github.com/google-coral/webcoral with make reset
6. ./vhclientx86_64 -t "STOP USING ALL LOCAL"
7. Run step 3 and 4 again but you should see --> 0x9302..
8. lsusb should now show Google Inc.
The inference speed is a little slower unfortunately … it went from 10ms to 25 ms… which isn’t too bad for sharing over the network.
@pergola.fabio The Coral is great to use if you have alot of motion on your camera, It will take a big load off the cpu for this (but the CPU still does a little detection before it passes it off to the coral)
