| description | Auto-detection and interaction with Flipper Zero hardware. Use when the user needs to find a connected Flipper, retrieve device information, or perform serial CLI operations. |
Flipper Zero Development Skill
This skill provides specialized knowledge and workflows for interacting with Flipper Zero hardware via USB.
Auto-Detection Workflow
To find a connected Flipper Zero and retrieve its hardware and firmware details, use the detect_flipper.py script.
python3 scripts/detect_flipper.py
Core APIs and Scripts
Port Resolution
Implementation: scripts/flipper/utils/cdc.py:resolve_port(logger, portname="auto")
Logic: Scans serial ports for the flip_ prefix.
CLI and Storage Interaction
Implementation: scripts/flipper/storage.py -> FlipperStorage
Use this class to send commands and receive data from the device.
Example Usage
Getting Device Info
from flipper.storage import FlipperStorage
from flipper.utils.cdc import resolve_port
port = resolve_port(logger)
with FlipperStorage(port) as storage:
storage.send("device_info\r")
response = storage.read.until(storage.CLI_PROMPT)
print(response.decode())
Manual Discovery (Shell)
- macOS:
ls /dev/cu.usbmodemflip_*
- Linux:
ls /dev/ttyACM* (look for Flipper-specific IDs)
