This script automates the installation of Google Coral TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) drivers on your Proxmox VE
host. It ensures that all necessary packages are installed and compiles the Coral TPU drivers for proper
functionality.
<p className=\"mb-4\"><strong>Before using Coral TPU inside an LXC container, the drivers must first be installed on the Proxmox VE host. This script automates that process, ensuring the necessary setup is completed.</strong><br/><br/>
This guide explains how to install and configure Google Coral TPU drivers on a Proxmox VE host using <strong>ProxMenux</strong>.
This setup enables hardware acceleration for AI-based applications that leverage Coral TPU.
