Sipeed LicheeRV Nano (WE) SG2002 | RISC-V Linux Development Board | Wi-Fi 6 & NPU
Description
The (SPIDER Automation) Sipeed LicheeRV Nano (WE) is a breakthrough thumb-sized RISC-V Linux development board that packs professional-grade peripheral resources into a remarkably small 22x36mm footprint. Designed to accelerate the popularization of the RISC-V ecosystem, it significantly surpasses previous ARM-based alternatives in both price and technical specifications.
Driven by the SOPHGO SG2002 SoC—featuring a 1GHz RISC-V C906 core alongside 256MB of integrated DDR3 RAM—the board provides a robust platform for running Linux distributions such as Buildroot and Debian. With built-in NPU acceleration, dual-band Wi-Fi 6, wired Ethernet, MIPI camera/display interfaces, and breadboard-compatible GPIO headers, the LicheeRV Nano is the ultimate pocket-sized workstation for edge AI, IoT prototyping, and embedded vision projects.
