Coral Mini and Mendel Install

[silver2row]

Description

Hello,

I am using Debian Bookworm as a host. I can get as far as getting online and then I receive errors that are not available when researching online. I think pushing an apt repo. may be more rewarding compared to just using pip3 via python3 -m pip install ....

https://coral.ai/docs/dev-board-mini/get-started/#1-gather-requirements works until I need to install MDT. When installing MDT, I receive an error about some ssh keys not being installed or available. Also, when I use the command, python3 -m pip install --user mendel-development-tool , the error is stating that I can use it but I have to admit that it will break python3.

### Issue Type Build/Install ### Operating System Linux ### Coral Device Dev Board Mini ### Other Devices _No response_ ### Programming Language Other ### Relevant Log Output ``` mdt shell Waiting for a device... Connecting to green-quill at 192.168.x.x Key not present on green-bill -- pushing Couldn't connect to keymaster on green-bill: [Errno 111] Connection refused. Did you previously connect from a different machine? If so, mdt-keymaster will not be running as it only accepts a single key. You will need to either: 1) Remove the key from /home/mendel/.ssh/authorized_keys on the device via the serial console - or - 2) Copy the mdt private key from your home directory on this host in ~/.config/mdt/keys/mdt.key to the first machine and use 'mdt pushkey mdt.key' to add that key to the device's authorized_keys file.

If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package, create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv. Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make sure you have python3-full installed. If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application, it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed. See /usr/share/doc/python3.11/README.venv for more information. note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages. hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification. ```

Hello,

I will get the log output soon. I am sorry I did not have it on me at the time of writing the error/issue.

Seth

P.S. I tried w/ --break-system-packages and I just installed python3-full. I will report back soon. Okay, so, python3-full does not do the trick. I will test w/ python3-venv and then report back.

[silver2row]

Okay. I found a newer image and the fastboot requirements...

Updates on the way!

[silver2row]

Okay...

So, I got this far now:

Update

I got to sign in but only via the UART at /dev/ttyUSB0 w/ mendel:mendel. I still cannot sign in via the mdt action command.

I am getting an error (obviously). Did people in the Mendel Linux Distro quit or are they refusing to update the build?

Either way, I cannot build the Mendel Linux Distro from source on a Debian 12 Bookworm Distro. Is there any other ways outside of this site: https://coral.googlesource.com/docs/+/refs/heads/master/GettingStarted.md ?

Also...if you are building this repo and try to put the file /bin/ in use, do not. This will create headaches down the road when trying to erase things.
