Flipper Devices says development of the Flipper Zero’s official firmware will continue after concerns from owners that updates had slowed or stalled. According to multiple reports, the company shifts work to a smaller internal group while planning to rely more on community contributions. Flipper Devices’ CEO Pavel Zhovner also indicates that staff are set aside to keep the firmware maintained and to support outside contributors.
The company introduces a new framework intended to guide how changes are requested, reviewed, and merged. The rules cover how feature requests are handled, how code submissions from the community are contributed, and how testing is carried out. This aims to provide clearer expectations for contributors and to structure ongoing development as the internal team size decreases.
Both outlets describe the change as a response to the firmware’s quiet period and as a commitment to continued updates through formal collaboration with the community. The reports do not indicate specific timelines for new features or release schedules, focusing instead on governance and process changes for firmware development.
