Three years after the launch of the high-performance VisionFive 2 single board computer, the thriving RISC-V ecosystem has accumulated abundant resources. Thanks to the strong support of developers worldwide, VisionFive 2 has gathered massive software ports and development resources, with applications covering Industrial IoT (IIoT), AIoT, smart home and other cutting-edge fields.
To meet industrial-grade embedded applications’ demand for extreme cost-effectiveness and flexible deployment—while ensuring seamless migration of software assets already built on VisionFive 2—we now introduce the lightweight industrial-grade version of VisionFive 2: VisionFive 2 Lite!
VisionFive 2 Lite is a RISC-V single board computer designed specifically for industrial and embedded deployments. It features a WiFi 6 + BT 5.4 dual-band wireless module and optional on-board eMMC storage. With a streamlined configuration and a low price, it offers an excellent balance of performance and cost for IIoT, edge computing, and embedded development. Users can seamlessly migrate software ecosystems built on VisionFive 2, which can significantly accelerate project deployment.
VisionFive 2 Lite is now available on major e-commerce platforms worldwide:
Link 1 (Global)
Link 2 (Global)
Link 3 (Global)
Link 4 (Japan)
Compact Yet Powerful
VisionFive 2 Lite adopts a compact 56x85mm form factor. Compared to its predecessor, it is smaller in size and more stable in operation. It can be easily embedded into tight spaces and, thanks to optimized hardware tuning, it is operates as a cool-running “performance mini powerhouse.”
