Mendel Linux link
To flash your board with Mendel Linux, be sure you download the appropriate image from the following tables, for either the Dev Board or Dev Board Mini.
For information about Mendel changes, see the Mendel release notes.
Dev Board link
The following files include everything you need to flash the Dev Board ("Enterprise") with Mendel Linux.
Starting with the Eagle release, there is also a "flashcard" image you can flash to a microSD card, which then automatically flashes Mendel onto the board. For instructions using the flashcard image, read Get started with the Dev Board.
For instructions using the other images, see how to flash the Dev Board.
System requirements:

Mendel development tool (MDT) link
Mendel Development Tool (mdt) is a Python-based
command-line tool that lets you communicate with a device running Mendel Linux
(used on the Coral Dev Board and Dev Board Mini).
You can install it with pip as follows:
python3 -m pip install --user mendel-development-tool
For details, see the MDT documentation.
Debian packages link
If you're using a Debian-based Linux system (including Ubuntu, Raspberry Pi OS, and Mendel), you should install all software libraries with the following Debian packages, instead of using the other pip or ZIP packages.
If you're on a Debian system other than a Coral board with Mendel, first add our package repos:
# None of this is needed on Coral boards # This repo is needed for almost all packages below echo "deb https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt coral-edgetpu-stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/coral-edgetpu.list # This repo is needed for only python3-coral-cloudiot and python3-coral-enviro echo "deb https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt coral-cloud-stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/coral-cloud.list curl https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key add - sudo apt-get update
Then you can install packages from the below table like this:
sudo apt-get install <package_name>
apt-get upgrade to ensure you get all the packages that are
compatible with each other.
| Package name | Description | Supported systems1 |
|---|---|---|
edgetpu-compiler |
The Edge TPU Compiler.
Note: Not available on Coral boards. |
|
libedgetpu1-max |
The Edge TPU runtime. (Pre-installed on the Dev Board.)
The separate versions affect only USB-based
devices to determine the operating frequency: libedgetpu1-max
runs at the maximum frequency (500 MHz) and libedgetpu1-std
runs at the reduced frequency (250 MHz).
For PCIe-based devices, both packages behave the same because the PCIe driver performs dynamic frequency scaling to adjust the operating frequency based on programmable temperature thresholds. |
|
libedgetpu1-std |
||
libedgetpu-dev |
The edgetpu_c.h and edgetpu.h header files for running inference with C++.
|
|
gasket-dkms |
Coral driver for PCIe-based Edge TPU devices, such as the M.2 and Mini PCIe Accelerator. |
|
python3-pycoral |
The PyCoral API. Includes a dependency on python3-tflite-runtime
and libedgetpu1-std (or libedgetpu1-max).For code examples, see the GitHub repo. |
|
python3-tflite-runtime |
The TensorFlow Lite Python runtime API. | |
python3-edgetpu |
The Edge TPU Python API. Deprecated. Instead use python3-pycoral.This depends on a legacy version of libedgetpu1-std that's not compatible with newer libraries.
|
|
edgetpu-examples |
Code examples for the Edge TPU Python API. Saved in
/usr/share/edgetpu/examples/.Deprecated. Instead use python3-pycoral.This depends on a legacy version of libedgetpu1-std that's not compatible with newer libraries.
|
|
python3-coral-cloudiot |
The Coral Cloud IoT API. |
|
python3-coral-enviro |
The Coral Environmental
Board API.
Includes |
1 The "supported systems" are system configurations we currently test, but the packages might work on other similar systems. You can also compile the Edge TPU runtime and Python library for your specific platform using our source code.
Edge TPU runtime link
The following ZIPs include the Edge TPU runtime for macOS and Windows, plus the USB and PCIe drivers required on Windows.
System requirements:
- Windows 10, or macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or 11 (Big Sur)
- x86-64 system architecture
If you're using Debian Linux (including Mendel), you should instead install the Edge TPU runtime from our Debian packages.
You should always use the latest runtime, and be sure your models are compiled with the corresponding version of the Edge TPU Compiler.

Also see the Edge TPU runtime release notes.
PyCoral API link
The following Python wheels are for the PyCoral API.
If you're using Debian Linux (including Mendel and Raspberry Pi OS), you should install PyCoral from our Debian package:
sudo apt-get install python3-pycoral
On other systems, you can install PyCoral with pip:
python3 -m pip install --extra-index-url https://google-coral.github.io/py-repo/ pycoral~=2.0
Also be sure you have the latest version of the Edge TPU runtime.
Note: If you download a wheel from the following
table to install manually with pip install, you must also install the corresponding
the tflite_runtime wheel.
