TuyaOpen on RDK-X5

Run TuyaOpen's multimodal agent on RDK-X5's local NPU for edge AI + IoT.

AdvancedEdge AI

Project Overview

Run TuyaOpen's multi-modal agent on an RDK X5 SBC, with AI inference on the board's integrated NPU instead of the cloud. Local processing handles the time-critical work; Tuya Cloud stays connected for the rest.

This is the "end-side AI + cloud service + ecosystem synergy" pattern in one working setup: an ARM Cortex-A78AE CPU with integrated NPU on the edge, Tuya Cloud on the back end, IoT devices bridged through one framework.
