Flipper Zero Unleashed Firmware

(https://discord.gg/58D6E8BtTU)

Welcome to Flipper Zero's Custom Firmware repo! Our goal is to make any features possible in this device without any stupid limitations! Please help us realize emulation for all dynamic (rolling codes) protocols and brute-force app!

Clone the Repository

You should clone with

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/Eng1n33r/flipperzero-firmware.git

Update firmware

Get Latest Firmware from Update Server

Flipper Zero's firmware consists of two components:

• Core2 firmware set - proprietary components by ST: FUS + radio stack. FUS is flashed at factory and you should never update it.
• Core1 Firmware - HAL + OS + Drivers + Applications.

They both must be flashed in order described.

With STLink

Core1 Firmware

Prerequisites:

• Linux / macOS
• Terminal
• arm-gcc-none-eabi
• openocd

One liner: make flash

Core2 flashing procedures

Prerequisites:

• Linux / macOS
• Terminal
• STM32_Programmer_CLI (v2.5.0) added to $PATH

One liner: make flash_radio

With USB DFU

1. Download latest Firmware

2. Reboot Flipper to Bootloader

• Press and hold ← Left + ↩ Back for reset
• Release ↩ Back and keep holding ← Left until blue LED lights up
• Release ← Left

3. Run dfu-util -D full.dfu -a 0

Build with Docker

Prerequisites

1. Install Docker Engine and Docker Compose
2. Prepare the container:

docker-compose up -d

Compile everything

docker-compose exec dev make

Check dist/ for build outputs.

Use flipper-z-{target}-full-{suffix}.dfu to flash your device.

If compilation fails, make sure all submodules are all initialized. Either clone with --recursive or use git submodule update --init --recursive.

Build on Linux/macOS

macOS Prerequisites

Make sure you have brew and install all the dependencies:

brew bundle --verbose

Linux Prerequisites

gcc-arm-none-eabi

toolchain="gcc-arm-none-eabi-10.3-2021.10"
toolchain_package="$toolchain-$(uname -m)-linux"

wget -P /opt "https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/gnu-rm/10.3-2021.10/$toolchain_package.tar.bz2"

tar xjf /opt/$toolchain_package.tar.bz2 -C /opt
rm /opt/$toolchain_package.tar.bz2

for file in /opt/$toolchain/bin/* ; do ln -s "${file}" "/usr/bin/$(basename ${file})" ; done

Optional dependencies

• openocd (debugging/flashing over SWD)
• heatshrink (compiling image assets)
• clang-format (code formatting)
• dfu-util (flashing over USB DFU)
• protobuf (compiling proto sources)

For example, to install them on Debian, use:

apt update
apt install openocd clang-format-13 dfu-util protobuf-compiler

heatshrink has to be compiled from sources.

Compile everything

make

Check dist/ for build outputs.

Use flipper-z-{target}-full-{suffix}.dfu to flash your device.

Flash everything

Connect your device via ST-Link and run:

make whole
