Flipper One Tech Specs

· hardware systems · Source ↗

TLDR

  • Full hardware spec sheet for Flipper One: RK3576 octa-core SoC, RP2350B MCU, 8GB LPDDR5, dual Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI 2.1, M.2 Key B expansion, and 24000 mWh battery.

Key Takeaways

  • Main CPU is Rockchip RK3576 (4x Cortex-A72 + 4x Cortex-A53, up to 2.2 GHz) with a 6 TOPS NPU and Mali G52 MC3 GPU supporting Vulkan 1.2.
  • Co-processor is RP2350B (dual Cortex-M33 + dual RISC-V Hazard3 @ 150 MHz, 520 KB SRAM, 16 MB flash); display and buttons run off the MCU, not Linux.
  • Ports: 2x USB-C (one with DisplayPort 1.4 Alt Mode), USB-A, HDMI 2.1 (4K@120Hz), 2x RJ45 Gigabit, 3.5mm TRRS, MicroSD, Nano SIM.
  • M.2 Key B slot (2242/3042/3052) exposes PCIe 2.1 x1, USB 3.1, SATA3, and SIM passthrough – significant for radio and storage expansion.
  • Multiple specs flagged as unverified or placeholder: weight, battery capacity, MicroSD speed grade, and speaker config.

Hacker News Comment Review

  • Commenters question the power-to-display ratio: a 256x144 monochrome 6-bit LCD feels mismatched against a flagship SoC with 8GB RAM and HDMI 2.1 output.
  • Cost and power draw flagged as open questions; the 24000 mWh battery suggests the team expects high current draw but real-world runtime is unknown.
  • Community questions on the docs site flag the RP2350-E9 silicon errata and whether hardware workarounds are included, plus why the display is MCU-driven rather than Linux-side.
