Am I missing something, or are they not only not documenting the chip, they are also not even releasing the compiler, but requiring you to use a cloud based compiler:
> You need to create a quantized TensorFlow Lite model and then compile the model for compatibility with the Edge TPU. We will provide a cloud-based compiler tool that accepts your .tflite file and returns a version that's compatible with the Edge TPU.
This seems like a new low in software freedom, and pretty risky to depend on as Google is known to shutter services pretty often and could just decide to turn off their cloud-based compiler at any time they feel like.
