NVIDIA GPU External Enclosure to Intel NUC pcie m2

mayberryjp · May 21, 2024, 1:33am

Hi,
My current HA hardware for HA and Frigate (Intel NUC G3) doesn’t appear to have any GPU acceleration. At least, not that I know of or can figure out.

I understand that I can
a) Get a m2 PCIE expansion slot and put it in the NUC
b) Run a cable from the m2 PCIE expansion slot to an external PCI enclosure w/ power
c) Put some nVidia GPUs into the external PCI enclosure

Does this sound right? Any recommendations on PCI enclosure, Nvidia GPU or M2 PCIE cards to buy? These things are expensive and while I can do my own research, I am not finding much online about it and I don’t want to make an expensive mistake

or that…

Will it work on HAOS, probably not, so you would need to get more complicated with your install most likely.

seems it would be cheaper and easier to just buy a cheap used gaming PC that has a GTX GPU in it already

### Describe the problem you are having Good afternoon. Has anyone managed to …run Frigate normally on an Intel N100 processor I have a Beeline mini PC with this processor and a HassOS system. I can’t figure out the Frigate settings, namely ffmpeg: hwaccel_args: There is a feeling that this processor does not have render. Thanks. ### Version 12.0 ### Frigate config file ```yaml mqtt: host: core-mosquitto user: mqtt password: mqttpsw ffmpeg: hwaccel_args: preset-intel-qsv-h264 detectors: ov: type: openvino device: AUTO model: path: /openvino-model/ssdlite_mobilenet_v2.xml model: width: 300 height: 300 input_tensor: nhwc input_pixel_format: bgr labelmap_path: /openvino-model/coco_91cl_bkgr.txt go2rtc: streams: rtsp_cam_1: - rtsp://10.10.0.49:554/user=admin_password=tlJwpbo6_channel=1_stream=0.sdp?real_stream - "ffmpeg:rtsp_cam_1#video=h264" cameras: cam_1: ffmpeg: inputs: - path: rtsp://10.10.0.49:554/user=admin_password=tlJwpbo6_channel=1_stream=0.sdp?real_stream roles: - detect detect: width: 768 height: 432 fps: 3 objects: track: - person - cat - dog - car motion: mask: - 768,0,619,0,627,54,627,155,615,262,598,392,586,432,768,432 live: stream_name: rtsp_cam_1 ``` ### docker-compose file or Docker CLI command ```yaml - ``` ### Relevant log output ```shell 2023-04-12 03:27:23.796820626 [2023-04-12 11:27:23] frigate.app INFO : Starting Frigate (0.12.0-da3e197) 2023-04-12 03:27:23.808970413 [2023-04-12 11:27:23] frigate.config WARNING : Customizing more than a detector model path is unsupported. 2023-04-12 03:27:23.810240190 [2023-04-12 11:27:23] frigate.app INFO : Creating directory: /tmp/cache 2023-04-12 03:27:23.811576110 [2023-04-12 11:27:23] peewee_migrate INFO : Starting migrations 2023-04-12 03:27:23.814917966 [2023-04-12 11:27:23] peewee_migrate INFO : There is nothing to migrate 2023-04-12 03:27:23.840431613 [2023-04-12 11:27:23] frigate.app INFO : Output process started: 299 2023-04-12 03:27:23.840521880 [2023-04-12 11:27:23] frigate.comms.dispatcher INFO : Turning on snapshots for cam_1 2023-04-12 03:27:23.846325636 [2023-04-12 11:27:23] frigate.app INFO : Camera processor started for cam_1: 304 2023-04-12 03:27:23.847463591 [2023-04-12 11:27:23] frigate.app INFO : Capture process started for cam_1: 305 2023-04-12 03:27:23.852433086 [2023-04-12 11:27:23] detector.ov INFO : Starting detection process: 298 2023-04-12 03:27:23.872424255 [2023-04-12 11:27:23] frigate.video ERROR : cam_1: Unable to read frames from ffmpeg process. 2023-04-12 03:27:23.872427849 [2023-04-12 11:27:23] frigate.video ERROR : cam_1: ffmpeg process is not running. exiting capture thread... 2023-04-12 03:27:24.060263913 [2023-04-12 11:27:24] frigate.detectors.plugins.openvino INFO : Model Input Shape: {1, 300, 300, 3} 2023-04-12 03:27:24.060518461 [2023-04-12 11:27:24] frigate.detectors.plugins.openvino INFO : Model Output-0 Shape: {1, 1, 100, 7} 2023-04-12 03:27:24.060521274 [2023-04-12 11:27:24] frigate.detectors.plugins.openvino INFO : Model has 1 Output Tensors 2023-04-12 03:27:43.875075299 [2023-04-12 11:27:43] watchdog.cam_1 ERROR : Ffmpeg process crashed unexpectedly for cam_1. 2023-04-12 03:27:43.875437749 [2023-04-12 11:27:43] watchdog.cam_1 ERROR : The following ffmpeg logs include the last 100 lines prior to exit. 2023-04-12 03:27:43.875841682 [2023-04-12 11:27:43] ffmpeg.cam_1.detect ERROR : [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x558e9881c7c0] No VA display found for device -hwaccel_output_format. 2023-04-12 03:27:43.876167761 [2023-04-12 11:27:43] ffmpeg.cam_1.detect ERROR : Device creation failed: -22. 2023-04-12 03:27:43.876577907 [2023-04-12 11:27:43] ffmpeg.cam_1.detect ERROR : Failed to set value '-hwaccel_output_format' for option 'qsv_device': Invalid argument 2023-04-12 03:27:43.876610516 [2023-04-12 11:27:43] ffmpeg.cam_1.detect ERROR : Error parsing global options: Invalid argument 2023-04-12 03:27:43.899548807 [2023-04-12 11:27:43] frigate.video ERROR : cam_1: Unable to read frames from ffmpeg process. 2023-04-12 03:27:43.899858168 [2023-04-12 11:27:43] frigate.video ERROR : cam_1: ffmpeg process is not running. exiting capture thread... ``` ### FFprobe output from your camera ```shell - ``` ### Operating system HassOS ### Install method HassOS Addon ### Network connection Wired ### Camera make and model - ### Any other information that may be helpful _No response_
