Operations on ROCK 3A

Step 1.Install Debian image

Get system image from Downloads.

Here I use this one Debian image.

Step 2.Modify file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/apt-radxa-com.list like this (optional)

root@rock3a:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/apt-radxa-com.list 
deb http://apt.radxa.com/buster-stable/ buster main
deb http://apt.radxa.com/buster-testing/ buster main

Step 3.Update and install needed packages

root@rock3a:~# apt update
root@rock3a:~# apt install -y python libssl-dev make gcc curl

Step 4.Recompile dependent libraries

root@rock3a:~# cd /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)
root@rock3a:/usr/src/linux-headers-4.19.193-10-rockchip-g152e34a538b4#
root@rock3a:/usr/src/linux-headers-4.19.193-10-rockchip-g152e34a538b4# make scripts

Step 5.Set proxy to get apt-key, packages gasket-dkms libedgetpu1-std (optional)

root@rock3a:~# export http_proxy=http://192.168.2.114:7890
root@rock3a:~# export https_proxy=http://192.168.2.114:7890

Step 6.Install Coral PCIe driver and Edge TPU runtime packages

root@rock3a:~# echo "deb https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt coral-edgetpu-stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/coral-edgetpu.list
curl https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
root@rock3a:~# apt-get update
root@rock3a:~# apt-get install -y gasket-dkms libedgetpu1-std

Step 7.Check installed packages version

root@rock3a:~# dpkg -l gasket-dkms 
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name           Version      Architecture Description
+++-==============-============-============-=================================
ii  gasket-dkms    1.0-17       all          DKMS source for the gasket driver
root@rock3a:~# dpkg -l libedgetpu1-std
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)

+++-=====================-============-============-=================================
ii  libedgetpu1-std:arm64 16.0         arm64        Support library for Edge TPU

Now we see the Coral PCIe driver and Edge TPU runtime packages are installed successfully.
