If you’re a fan of the Flipper Zero, the newly announced Flipper One is sure to impress. Flipper Devices has introduced the Flipper One, an open Linux pocket computer that enhances the original concept of the Flipper Zero.
Key Features
The Flipper One is designed to be a versatile platform capable of handling various tasks, ranging from network analysis to running AI projects. Unlike its predecessor, the Flipper One boasts full support for the mainline Linux kernel, meaning there are no closed drivers or proprietary firmware involved. This makes it an adaptable tool for developers.
Equipped with a powerful 2.2 GHz octa-core RK3576 chipset, the Flipper One includes a Mali-G52 GPU and an NPU that has impressive processing power. This allows for advanced applications leveraging local large language models (LLMs). The device also has 8GB of RAM, providing ample resources for its operating system and applications.
Hardware and Connectivity
The Flipper One integrates an array of features, including a 1.4-inch screen, touchpad, and an M.2 slot that accommodates various hardware options like cellular modems and storage drives. Its connectivity capabilities have significantly improved from the Flipper Zero, thanks to dual gigabit Ethernet ports and support for Wi-Fi 6E.
One of the significant advantages of the Flipper One is its dual-processor architecture, which allows it to perform basic tasks and display functions while conserving power. Users can choose to run the device on a Raspberry Pi microcontroller if they don’t wish to use Linux.
User-Friendly Operating System
The Flipper One operates on Flipper OS, a Debian-based platform that allows users to manage profiles tailored to different tasks. This design aims to eliminate the hassle of juggling microSD cards and makes switching tasks as simple as booting up a new profile.
Additionally, the Flipper One features FlipCTL, which enables a menu-based interface on the small display. This innovation allows easy access to Linux tools without requiring a more complex setup.
Community Involvement and Future Development
Flipper Devices is looking for community support to refine Flipper One further. They invite developers to help shape the future of the device, ensuring comprehensive kernel support and enhancing the overall platform.
This release not only signifies the evolution of the Flipper Zero but also positions the Flipper One as a formidable competitor in the single-board computer market, aiming for a community-driven success similar to its predecessor.
As for the price, while the Flipper Zero is priced at $199, the Flipper One is expected to cost more due to its expanded capabilities and modularity. However, the cost will be justified by the potential to customize and enhance the device with various accessories.
