Firefly’s “Station P1 Geek Mini PC” runs Ubuntu, Android, or an Android-based Station OS on an RK3399 and supports dual 4K displays. The price is $129 with 4GB LPDDR4 and 32GB eMMC or $179 with 4GB and 128GB.

Since we covered Firefly’s Rockchip RK1808 based Core-1808-JD4 AI Core Board module and AIO-1808-JD4 dev kit in April, the company has launched a $129 and up Station P1 Geek Mini PC based on the Rockchip RK3399. Firefly, the community-backed SBC and compute module brand of T-Chip Technology, helped popularize the hexa-core Arm SoC with products such as its Firefly-RK3399, the world’s first RK3399 SBC.

The Station P1 Geek Mini PC is a multipurpose consumer desktop replacement, gaming system, and video entertainment computer. The fanless, 124.4 x 79 x 31.6mm mini-PC can run Ubuntu, Android, and Station OS on the RK3399. The RK3399 SoC has 2x up to 1.8GHz Cortex-A72 cores, 4x 1.42GHz Cortex-A53 cores, and a quad-core Mali-T864 GPU.

Station OS was jointly developed by Firefly and the Phoenix OS project and is based on Phoenix OS. Also referred to as the Geek Entertainment System, this dual mode OS let’s you easily switch between work and entertainment modes. The entertainment mode provides a “a strong local video library,” says Firefly. Station OS lets you load the distro alongside Android and Ubuntu and then triple boot between all three platforms.

The Station P1 is available for $129 with 4GB LPDDR4 and 32GB eMMC or $179 with 4GB LPDDR4 and 128GB eMMC. You also get 16MB SPI flash and the microSD slot.
Firefly does not specify whether the Station P1 is built on an existing board or uses a custom mainboard. It’s possibly built around Firefly’s RK3399 Coreboard compute module.
