Back to School with STEM-Limited-Time Event(Aug 6-Sep 5)
Ready-to-use AI coprocessor with open-source firmware, hardware, and examples. Turn your CrowPanel into a smart, AI-powered device — run TinyML and TinyLM locally, with no cloud and no setup.
Run AI models on your CrowPanel — without cloud, complexity, or extra boards.
Build interactive, intelligent devices that generate stories, classify inputs, or run TinyLM models — all offline and on-device.
Just plug it in.
GRC AI Add-on is a plug-in NPU module designed for CrowPanel, powered by the ultra-efficient Himax HX6538 microcontroller with Arm Cortex-M55 and Ethos-U55 NPU.
It enables local neural network inference — perfect for applications like text generation, classification, and voice interfaces.
Smart Device Developers
→ Rapid prototyping and hypothesis testing with TinyML
Schools, Makerspaces, Tech Hubs
→ Practical demonstration of TinyLM/TinyML applications
DIY Makers & AI Enthusiasts
→ Build offline AI projects with Tiny Language Models (TinyStories, command assistants, etc.)
An interactive storytelling prototype based on the TinyStories Language Model. It showcases how compact hardware can be used for interactive natural language generation — all at the edge, with low power consumption and no internet required for model inference.
To run the TinyStories demo, a CrowPanel Advance is required for input and display. Download the CrowPanel firmware here. The same link also provides the latest firmware for the Add-on and full documentation.
