6、Google TPU 入手教程
最近获得一块Google TPU ，简单介绍一下启动过程：具体参考手册：
https://coral.withgoogle.com/resources/
https://www.mrtbc.com/318.html
1、首先，在宿主主机（PC）安装（exfat-fuse 后期识别SD卡做准备）：
sudo apt-get install screen fastboot minicom exfat-fuse
其实官方手册中的screen，应该和minicon串口工具类似；
2、然后查看一下是否安装成功
screen --version
Screen version 4.03.01 (GNU) 28-Jun-15
fastboot --version
fastboot version debian3、因为需要对新的开发板TPU进行一次刷机操作，所以首先需要在宿主机安装驱动程序；
sudo sh -c "echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0525", MODE="0664",GROUP="plugdev", TAG+="uaccess"' >> /etc/udev/rules.d/65-edgetpu-board.rules"4、然后创建新的链接，使其生效
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger5、然后设置新的开发板TPU进行一次刷机操作，所以需要预先设置刷机的方式（类似zedboard刷机）
设置完硬件的刷机方式之后，然后就可以串口读取信息了；
6、然后连接串口线，打开串口监控程序即可；（注 先不要插电，因为，稍后插电，就可以打印的启动过程uboot读取硬件的信息）
7、查看宿主机连接的USB接口名称
dmesg | grep ttyUSB[534605.535179] usb 1-3: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[534605.536907] usb 1-3: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB1
[534734.937608] cp210x ttyUSB0: cp210x converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0
[534734.938263] cp210x ttyUSB1: cp210x converter now disconnected from ttyUSB1
[537639.540031] usb 1-3: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[537639.542614] usb 1-3: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB1
[537757.868380] cp210x ttyUSB0: cp210x converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0
[537757.869118] cp210x ttyUSB1: cp210x converter now disconnected from ttyUSB1
[546225.024362] usb 1-3: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[546225.026140] usb 1-3: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB1
8、查看到[534734.937608] cp210x ttyUSB0: cp210x converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0
然后输入 下面命令进行串口监控或者使用mincom监控
sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 或者使用minicom,这是本人开机启动后，minicom的信息；（minicom配置很简单，可以参考：https://jingyan.baidu.com/article/6b182309f9dd6dba59e1597a.html），本人使用minicom，
只需把port配置成/dev/ttyUSB0 即可；
Hardware Flow Contorl选项改成No；
相比而言，minicom 比较好用，因为每次监听串口 只需一条命令即可，然而screen 还需记住设备名和波特率～～～
sudo minicom
9、连接电源之后，（不要使用计算机给开发板供电，会供电不足 ）在屏幕显示信息如下；
Welcome to minicom 2.7

10、然后插上白色的数据线（otg）
11、输入：（本人的好卡，我也不知为啥，输入好多次都错误，还是复制一步到位～～～）
fastboot 012、打开一个新终端界面（宿主机）
fastboot devices
提示如下表示成功，如果不提示，就是fastboot 版本太低 链接：https://pan.baidu.com/s/1EHe-2vvuxWTq6bn5gBNL8w 密码：u57y
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
sudo mv ~/platform-tools/fastboot ~/.local/bin/
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ fastboot --version

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ fastboot devices

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$
13、然后下载百度云的 mendel-enterprise-chef-13.zip 然后进行刷机～～

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/mendel-enterprise-chef-13$ 然后刷完了。哈哈哈 然后屏幕有画面了～～～
然后就出来图形化界面了～～～～
14、然后插上网线，就可以愉快的访问TPU了，但是，突然发现ssh链接不上去，提示
Permission denied (publickey).因为Google TPU默认禁用了ssh密码登录权限，此时你需要在串口中设置一下TPU配置即可；
打开 /etc/ssh/sshd_config
修改PasswordAuthentication no 为：
PasswordAuthentication yes
重启服务
/etc/init.d/sshd restart这样就好了，小组其它成员都可以通过网口命令ssh远程联接TPU设备了。
依次为TPU串口终端和ssh连接的命令行终端（都一样）
15、测试一下demo,进入TPU终端；
cd ~
wget https://dl.google.com/coral/canned_models/mobilenet_v2_1.0_224_inat_bird_quant_edgetpu.tflite
wget https://dl.google.com/coral/canned_models/inat_bird_labels.txt
wget https://www.mrtbc.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/parrot.jpg然后执行命令；
mendel@tuned-ibis:~$ python3 /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/edgetpu/demo/classify_image.py --model ~/mobilenet_v2_1.0_224_inat_bird_quant_edgetpu.tflite --label ~/inat_bird_labels.txt --image ~/parrot.jpg

mendel@tuned-ibis:~$
mendel@tuned-ibis:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ ls

需要更新一下源，否则哎～～China vs Google

deb http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/ubuntu-ports xenial-security multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/ubuntu-ports xenial-security multiverse
进行源更新
sudo apt-get update如果出现问题：如
Reading package lists... Done
W: GPG error: http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/ubuntu-ports xenial-security InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 40976EAF437D05B5 NO_PUBKEY 3B4FE6ACC0B21F32
W: The repository 'http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/ubuntu-ports xenial-security InRelease' is not signed.
N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
需要执行下面的命令：
sudo apt-get install debian-archive-keyring debian-keyring dirmngr//安上公钥
然后执行：
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 40976EAF437D05B5
重新更新数据源就可以了～～
在把TPU作为PC端时，突然发现其无法通过串口调试其它设备，即TPU不支持lsusb的使用～～
～～～然后发现这是debain系统的问题～～～
sudo apt-get install usbutilsubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 105: ID 1a2c:2124 China Resource Semico Co., Ltd
Bus 001 Device 104: ID 413c:301a Dell Computer Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
然后取得其串口的控制权限～～～
cd /etc/udev/rules.d/
sudo touch 51-android.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE="0666"
sudo chmod a+x 51-android.rules拔掉usb重新插上就可以了，如：
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ adb devices
List of devices attached
AB100607 device这样就解决了识别（控制）串口USB的问题。
在TPU上执行apt-get install命令时，报如下warning
