In addition to an energy saving microcontroller, Flipper One also offers a Rockchip RK3576 ARM chip with four Cortex-A72 performance cores, four Cortex-A53 efficiency cores and 8 GB LPDDR5x RAM. The chip’s performance is sufficient to install a fully-fledged Linux version. HDMI allows a 4K monitor to be operated at up to 120 Hz, so that Flipper One can be used like a desktop PC. Flipper intends to deliver open source firmware again, but as Linux on ARM is currently not fully open source, this still requires development work.
Pricing and availability
Flipper has not yet confirmed when or at what price Flipper One will come onto the market, but the gadget is to be funded via a crowdfunding campaign. However, the manufacturer has already published a developer portal through which programmers can participate in the remaining development of the device’s firmware.
