Flipper Zero Firmware

Welcome to Flipper Zero's Firmware repo! Our goal is to create nice and clean code with good documentation, to make it a pleasure for everyone to work with.

Update firmware

Get Latest Firmware from Update Server

Flipper Zero's firmware consists of three components:

• Core2 firmware set - proprietary components by ST: FUS + radio stack.
• Core1 Bootloader - controls basic hardware initialization and loads firmware
• Core1 Firmware - HAL + OS + Drivers + Applications

All 3 of them must be flashed in order described.

With STLink

Core2 flashing procedures

Prerequisites:

• Linux / macOS
• Terminal
• STM32_Programmer_CLI added to $PATH

One liner: ./flash_core2_ble.sh

Core1 Bootloader + Firmware

Prerequisites:

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

One liner: ./flash_core1_main.sh

With USB DFU

1. Download latest Firmware

2. Reboot Flipper to Bootloader

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

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

Build from source

Prerequisites

1. Install Docker Engine and Docker Compose
2. Clone the repo:

   git clone https://github.com/flipperdevices/flipperzero-firmware
   cd flipperzero-firmware
   

3. Prepare the container:

   docker-compose up -d
   

Compile bootloader

docker-compose exec dev make -j$(nproc) -C bootloader

Bootloader compilation results:

• bootloader/.obj/f7/bootloader.elf
• bootloader/.obj/f7/bootloader.hex
• bootloader/.obj/f7/bootloader.bin
• bootloader/.obj/f7/bootloader.dfu - should be used to flash

Compile firmware

docker-compose exec dev make -j$(nproc) -C firmware

Firmware compilation results:

• firmware/.obj/f7/firmware.elf
• firmware/.obj/f7/firmware.hex
• firmware/.obj/f7/firmware.bin
• firmware/.obj/f7/firmware.dfu - should be used to flash

Concatenate bootloader and firmware

You might want to do this to distribute the firmware as a single file.

That's exactly how we generate our full builds.

1. Concatenate HEX files:

   docker-compose exec dev srec_cat \
    bootloader/.obj/f7/bootloader.hex -Intel \
    firmware/.obj/f7/firmware.hex -Intel \
    -o firmware/.obj/f7/full.hex -Intel
   

2. Convert HEX to DFU:

   docker-compose exec dev hex2dfu \
    -i firmware/.obj/f7/full.hex \
    -o firmware/.obj/f7/full.dfu \
    -l "Flipper Zero F7"
   

Finally, you will have firmware/.obj/f7/full.dfu file that can be distributed and flashed.
