Background

The Gasket driver framework and Apex driver are kmods required to support Coral (Google) Edge TPUs. These drivers landed in the 4.19 kernel. Google also publishes dkms packages for Debian-ish distros. Unfortunately that doesn't help non-Debian-ish users running kernels older 4.19.

This is an RPM/DKMS package for EL7 (and maybe EL8) distros based on the in-tree gasket driver (from kernel 5.4.67). Newer kernel versions (>=5.5) have breaking changes that require more work to backport to EL7 / 3.10. "PRs welcome."

Usage

Releases from this repo are built/hosted on Fedora Copr. Currently, only EL7 builds are available.

To enable the repo:

# yum copr enable jyundt/gasket-dkms

To install the package after enabling the repo:

# yum install gasket-dkms

Obligatory Copr status badge: Copr build status

Warning: I am not a kernel developer, I rarely build RPMs and I generally don't know what I'm doing. Use this package at your own risk.
