Nearly six years after introducing the Flipper Zero wireless hacking tool, the developers have unveiled a new model that’s way more powerful and versatile. The Flipper One is still a pocket-sized gadget with an awful lot of networking features. But it’s also a full-fledged Linux computer that runs open source software and support for modular hardware expansion thanks to PCIe, SATA, and USB 3.0 interfaces.
Flipper isn’t ready to talk pricing or availability yet. But the company has launched a developer portal for the Flipper One and is seeking to build community support ahead of an eventual crowdfunding campaign.
The new Flipper One isn’t meant as a replacement for the Zero – the old model will continue to be available indefinitely as a tool that provides “protocol-level access to physical systems available to a broad developer audience, packaging NFC, RFID, Sub-1 GHz radio, infrared, and hardware interfaces into a pocket-sized microcontroller tool.”
Meanwhile, the new Flipper One loses a few of those wireless capabilities, but picks up a whole lot more – it has two Ethernet ports, an M.2 slot that you can use to add a 4G LTE or 5G modem, (or an SDR if you want to bring back NFC, RFID, etc), and much more.
And this model is powerful enough to run mainline Linux software.
Measuring 155 x 67 x 40mm (6.1″ x 2.64″ x 1.57″), the Flipper One is a little larger than the Zero (100 x 40 x 25mm or 4″ x 1.6″ x 1″). But while the Zero is a pretty basic device with an Arm Cortex-M4 32-bit microprocessor and a bunch of wireless radios, the One is basically a pocket computer.
It has a Rockchip RK2576 processor with four Arm Cortex-A72 Performance CPU cores, four Cortex-A53 Efficiency cores, Mali-G52 MC3 graphics, and an NPU that delivers up to 6 TOPS of INT8 AI performance. Combined with 8GB of LPDDR5 memory, 64GB of UFS 2.2 storage, and a microSD card slot for removable storage, and you’ve basically got yourself a little Linux-compatible computer
