Jetson AGX Thor (T5000), Pi 5 AI HAT+ 2 (`Hailo-10H` 8GB) & RK3588 NPU Edge LLM Bootstrap (setup-hailo10h-and-rk3588-edge-llm.sh)
Detects your edge accelerator (Jetson Thor T5000, Raspberry Pi 5 Hailo-10H 8GB NPU, or Rockchip RK3588 rknn-llm), verifies PCIe Gen 3 / NPU frequency governors, and starts an OpenAI/Ollama-compatible local endpoint.

Verified Environment for "Next-Gen Edge AI & Robotics Benchmark: NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor T5000 (128GB · 2070 TFLOPS) vs Raspberry Pi 5 AI HAT+ 2 (Hailo-10H 8GB) & RK3588 NPU"
NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor DevKit (T5000 · 128GB LPDDR5X @ 273 GB/s · 2070 FP4 TFLOPS) | Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB) + AI HAT+ 2 (Hailo-10H 40 TOPS · 8GB Dedicated NPU RAM) | Orange Pi 5 Plus / Rock 5B (RK3588 16GB · 6 TOPS NPU)
All HEF, RKLLM, and GGUF/NVFP4 weights run locally on battery or 12V/24V robot bus power without cloud connectivity.
- The Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2 (`Hailo-10H`) has **8GB of dedicated onboard LPDDR4X memory** wired directly to the NPU, meaning models up to `3B INT4` (`Qwen2.5-1.5B` / `Llama-3.2-3B`) must fit inside that 8GB NPU pool and require pre-compiled `.hef` GenAI packages via `hailo-ollama`.
- Rockchip RK3588’s 6 TOPS NPU shares system LPDDR4X/LPDDR5 (~34 GB/s) and hits a hard ceiling of ~16 tok/s on 1.5B `W4A16` and ~11–12 tok/s on 3B `W4A16`.
3-Step Verification Checklist After Deploying setup-hailo10h-and-rk3588-edge-llm.sh
- Installed `hailo-h10-all` (HailoRT 5.x) and enabled `dtparam=pciex1_gen=3` on Raspberry Pi 5 for AI HAT+ 2 (`Hailo-10H`).
- Set `ulimit -l unlimited` and locked NPU + DMC memory governors to `performance` on RK3588 before starting `rkllm_server`.
- Selected the target `nvpmodel` power profile (60W battery vs 130W MAXN) and flushed VFS cache on Jetson AGX Thor 128GB.
