Flipper Devices, the maker of the Flipper Zero pentesting tool, is asking the community to help build Flipper One, an open Linux platform for connected devices.<\/p>\n

Unlike Flipper Zero, which focuses\u00a0on offline access control and radio technologies such as NFC, RFID, infrared, and sub-GHz communications, the Flipper One project is designed as a high-performance, Linux-based platform for networking and hardware experimentation, with sufficient processing power to support SDR (software-defined radio) analysis and local LLMs.<\/p>\n

The company underlines that One, which is a portable ARM Linux computer, shouldn\u2019t be seen as an upgrade to Flipper Zero, but rather \u201ca completely different project with its own goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hardware-wise, Flipper One is built around the Rockchip RK3576 ARM SoC with 8 GB RAM, paired with a Raspberry Pi RP2350 microcontroller in a dual-processor architecture.<\/p>\n

The main CPU handles Linux workloads while the MCU independently manages the display, power subsystem, buttons, and boot process. This also practically means that the device remains operational even when the OS is powered off.<\/p>\n

Flipper One is also intended to be modular, with support for M.2 and GPIO interfaces, as well as for PCIe, USB 3.1, SATA, UART, I2C, and SIM. This allows adding SDRs, SSDs, Wi-Fi cards, AI accelerators, and 5G or NTN satellite modems.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can use Flipper One as a router, a VPN gateway, or a bridge between wired and wireless networks,\u201d Flipper Device says in the announcement today. However, the device could also work as a portable Linux workstation (\u201csurvival desktop\u201d), TV media box, and HDMI support.<\/p>\n

Call for help and participation<\/h3>\n

Flipper One has been under development for years, but the project turned out to be a much more difficult challenge than the vendor expected, with several teams working on various aspects of the project: hardware, mechanics, software…<\/p>\n
