FAQ

What can I run on ThoxMini?
Provisioning scripts, fleet recovery utilities, USB-NCM networking workflows, and tiny local control runtimes. The Buildroot image ships with Python, llama.cpp, and ONNX runtime so small models work out of the box.
How do I connect to it?
Plug into a USB-C host. The host sees ThoxMini as a USB network interface. SSH to 192.168.42.1 using the per-device credentials printed on the quick-start card.
Do I need internet?
No. ThoxMini is local-only by default. The shell is open-source ThoxOS Mini.
When does it ship?
6-8 weeks from order. The first batch is EVT hardware. US shipping only at launch.
Refunds?
14-day refund window from delivery. Contact support to start the process.
