Flipper Devices Announces Linux-Powered Networking Device
Flipper Devices announced a new networking gadget called Flipper One that runs Linux and supports multiple network connections. The device is still in development and is not a successor to the Flipper Zero.
TechcrunchFlipper Devices announced a new device called Flipper One that includes multiple network connectivity options and can function as a Linux PC. The company said the device is not a successor to the Flipper Zero, which has sold over one million units and generated more than $150 million in sales.
The Flipper Zero connects to radios including Bluetooth, RFID, NFC, a sub-1GHz transceiver, and infrared.
One includes two Gigabit Ethernet ports, USB Ethernet at 5 Gbps, and Wi-Fi 6E. 2 port that supports 5G modems, SDR modules, AI accelerators, SSDs, and Wi-Fi cards. The device runs two processors and 8GB of RAM. An eight-core RK3576 chip handles open Linux with a Mali-G52 GPU and NPU for local AI models.
A two-core Raspberry Pi RP2350 microcontroller manages the display, buttons, touchpad, LEDs, and power subsystem.
Devices worked with Collabora to add support for the RK3576 chip to the mainline Linux kernel. The company is also developing its own Linux distribution called Flipper OS, which is still in the concept stage. Flipper OS aims to let users switch between profiles with pre-configured packages and settings without re-flashing an SD card.
The company is also creating a FlipCTL interface to control small LCD screens on devices like Flipper One.
With network drivers, users could use Flipper One as a router, VPN gateway, or bridge. 1 port that supports 4K streaming at 120Hz and can run local AI models. The company said several software components still lack mainline kernel support, including NPU functionality and hardware video decoding.
Flipper Devices is inviting developers to help build the remaining software pieces. The final details of a consumer launch have not been announced. The base configuration without cellular modules is expected to cost less than $350.
