Overview
- Flipper Devices, which announced the project on May 21, 2026, revealed the Flipper One as a pocket-sized ARM Linux computer built around a Rockchip RK3576 SoC paired with an RP2350 microcontroller.
- The device ships with 8 GB of RAM, a Mali GPU and a 6 TOPS NPU for on-device AI, though vendor drivers for the NPU and hardware video decode are not yet upstreamed to mainline Linux.
- Flipper One is modular with an M.2 slot plus PCIe, USB 3.0, SATA, GPIO and dual Ethernet ports so users can add SDRs, SSDs, Wi‑Fi or cellular/satellite modem modules.
- Flipper Devices has opened a public Developer Portal and partnered with Collabora to upstream RK3576 support, and it is soliciting community contributions while core software projects like Flipper OS and FlipCTL remain conceptual.
- The company has not opened sales and is targeting a Kickstarter later this year with a tentative base price near $350, but it warns that unfinished drivers, architectural work and supply‑chain pressures such as RAM shortages could change timing and cost.
