OpenClaw and its derivatives have emerged as some of the most anticipated AI Agent projects today, thanks to their robust task automation capabilities. While showing immense potential in personal productivity and enterprise automation, these projects are typically deployed on Mac or Raspberry Pi platforms. Within this growing ecosystem, innovative results like the EvoMap co-evolution platform and the PicoClaw lightweight variant have already begun to surface.
The VisionFive 2 series RISC-V SBC offers a more accessible deployment choice. At roughly one-tenth the hardware cost of comparable solutions, developers can build a low-power, 24/7 edge AI Agent host. Using the VisionFive 2 Lite (equipped with eMMC and Wi-Fi) as an example, developers can truly own their computing resources at a low entry barrier, ensuring local data processing and privacy isolation. This is the core inspiration for our OpenClaw project campaign: empowering more developers to build their own secure, efficient, and cost-controlled RISC-V AI Agents. Below are the details of participating in this project.
Participation Requirements
The activity consists of two phases. Upon completion, developers are required to create a detailed deployment tutorial and sync it to the StarFive Official Forum (forum.rvspace.org) and their personal technical channels (e.g., GitHub, YouTube, etc.).
| Award Category | Slots | Prize / Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Adaptation Award (Phase 1) | 3 | $60 per person |
| Application Development Award (Phase 2) | 5 | $120 per person + Honorary Moderator role for the new AI section on All-New RVspace |
| Community Contribution Pack | 10 | StarFive Limited Edition Geek Swag (Custom T-shirt, baseball cap, RISC-V stickers) |
(Note: Developers whose submissions are functional and complete but do not win a cash prize will receive the Community Contribution Pack. Rewards will be issued within 10 working days after confirmation.)

Phase 2: Application Development of OpenClaw on VisionFive 2
- Timeline
- Registration: April 15 — April 24 (Note: You may use your own VisionFive 2. If you need hardware sponsorship, please specify your project plan in the registration form; selection will be based on your project quality.)
- Screening: April 25 — April 27
- Hardware Shipping: April 28 — May 4
- Development & Submission: May 5 — May 28
- Results Announcement: Within 5 working days after the event on forum.rvspace.org
- Core Development Tracks
| Track | Recommended Sub-tracks |
|---|---|
| Edge Inference & Toolchain Optimization | Accelerate inference for RISC-V (e.g., via XNNPACK/ONNX Runtime); develop OpenClaw Skills for fast local RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). |
| Multi-Agent Collaboration | Build Multi-Agent clusters on VisionFive 2; or explore low-cost edge Agent networks using the Matrix protocol for inter-device task orchestration. |
| Physical AI & Multimodal Integration | Integrate sensors, cameras, mics, and servos via GPIO/UART/I2C. Create closed-loop Physical AI (e.g., wake-word → vision → action). |
