Deploying LLM on Khadas Edge2: End-to-End Setup Guide

In this post, we walk through the complete workflow of deploying the large language model on Khadas Edge2, a high-performance SBC powered by the RK3588S SoC. This setup leverages the on-board NPU to enable efficient inference at the edge, making it a solid choice for running LLMs in low-power or offline environments.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Set up the environment and dependencies
  • Use the khadas_llm.sh script to download and build models
  • Run the demo with NPU acceleration
  • Explore example outputs and performance
