Flipper Devices, the company behind the semi-infamous Flipper Zero “hacking” multi-tool, is developing a Linux-powered mini-PC with the goal of creating a “truly open hardware platform.” The Flipper One is described as a pocket-sized ARM device for high-performance computing, IP networking, and on-device AI use. The device is in development, so there is no price or release date as yet. <\/p>\n

The Flipper One is being built on a Rockchip RK3576 processor and the modular design means it can be expanded. “Flipper Zero taught us how much you can do with a tightly scoped, open product and a community that pushes it further than you can. Flipper One is what happens when we apply the same approach to a much bigger problem\u2014building a fully open ARM Linux device that doesn’t go obsolete the moment it ships,” Pavel Zhovner, Co-founder and CEO of Flipper Devices, said in a press release.<\/p>\n

In keeping with the Flipper “open everything” ethos, the Flipper One is a community developed project, and anyone who wants to can check in and\/or help out through the Developer Portal. <\/p>\n

What you will be able to do with a Flipper One<\/h2>\n

Network debugging<\/strong>: The Flipper One will feature high-speed connectivity, including Ethernet, wi-fi 6E, and optional 5G, allowing it to function as an advanced network debugging tool.<\/p>\n

On-Device AI:<\/strong> The Flipper One will have local AI hardware acceleration, so it will be able to handle compute-heavy tasks without needing a cloud connection.<\/p>\n


\n What do you think so far?<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Wireless analysis<\/strong>: The device will capture and analyze wireless traffic and network signals in real time. <\/p>\n

Who is the Flipper One for?<\/h2>\n

If you work in network administration, you probably already know why you need or don’t need a Flipper One, but if you’re just a casual tech enthusiast or tinkerer, it might provide a powerful sandbox. Here are some potential uses:<\/p>\n
