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.
