Software and operation

The Dev Board factory setting includes only the U-Boot bootloader software on the eMMC memory. To use the board,

you need to flash the Mendel operating system (a derivative of Debian Linux). For instructions, see the Get started

guide.

The Mendel system includes software that's specially-designed for the Dev Board and required to operate the Edge TPU.

It also includes Python APIs that make it easy to perform inferences with TensorFlow Lite models.

For information about how to create models and run inferences on the Edge TPU, read TensorFlow models on the Edge

TPU.

Caution: Avoid touching the heat sink during operation. Whether or not the fan is running, the heat sink

can become very hot to the touch and might cause burn injuries.
