Everything you need on a USB-C stick

ThoxMini is engineered around a single design goal: a private, inspectable Linux node that lives in your USB-C port.

Private edge utility

Local-only by default. No radio, no telemetry. Inference and provisioning stay on the device.

USB-NCM networking

Appears to the host as a USB network interface. Predictable address. No driver install on macOS or Linux.

Secure first-boot provisioning

Unique hostname, fresh SSH keys, default credentials removed on first plug-in.

Local control agent

thoxmini-agent runs as a systemd service for status, LED, and provisioning hooks.

Recovery and reflashing

microSD-based image keeps recovery one swap away. Documented flashing workflow.

Tiny local runtime ready

Buildroot image, llama.cpp, ONNX runtime, and Python all preinstalled for small local models.
