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:
- Coral Dev Board or System-on-Module

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.
You can install it with pip as follows:
pip3 install --user mendel-development-tool
For details, see the MDT documentation.
Debian packages link
If you're using a Debian system (including Mendel on Coral boards), we recommend using these Debian packages instead of the other downloads on this page.
If you're on a Debian system other than a Coral board with Mendel, first add our package repos to your apt sources:
# 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>
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. |
|
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/ .
|
|
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
- 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.

PyCoral API link
The following Python wheels are for the PyCoral API.
If you're using Debian Linux (including Mendel), you should install this from our Debian package:
sudo apt-get install python3-pycoral
To install as a wheel, run pip3
install
and pass it a Python wheel URL from the following
table. For example, if you're on Windows with Python 3.7, you can
install as follows:
pip3 install https://github.com/google-coral/pycoral/releases/download/release-frogfish/pycoral-1.0.0-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
