Flipper One – A Rockchip RK3576-powered portable Arm Linux computer and networking multi-tool

Flipper Devices has officially introduced the Flipper One open-source hardware portable Arm Linux platform and networking and Edge AI multi-tool powered by a Rockchip RK3576 octa-core Arm Cortex-A72/A53 SoC, and featuring a Raspberry Pi RP2350 for low-level control. You may think of it as a successor to the popular STM32-based Flipper Zero hardware and wireless hacking tool, but the company stresses that the Flipper One is NOT a replacement for the Flipper Zero. It is a different product with mainline Linux kernel support, no binary blobs (probably not 100% true), and open-source drivers, and operating at a different level of the networking and wireless stacks with dual Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6E, and optional 5G or 4G LTE modem. Flipper One specifications: SoC – Rockchip RK3576 CPU 4x Cortex-A72 cores @ 2.2GHz, 4x Cortex-A53 cores @ 1.8GHz Arm Cortex-M0 MCU at 400MHz GPU – ARM Mali-G52 MC3 GPU with support for
