This is a fork of the [Havoc](https://github.com/furrtek/portapack-havoc/) firmware, which itself was a fork of the [PortaPack](https://github.com/sharebrained/portapack-hackrf) firmware, an add-on for the [HackRF](http://greatscottgadgets.com/hackrf/). A fork is a derivate, in this case one that has extra features and fixes when compared to the older versions.
*[PortaPack H2](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dSMPvNo) (clone) with a custom [3d printed case](https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/wiki/H2-Enclosure)*
This repository expands upon the previous work by many people and aims to constantly add new features, bugfixes and generate documentation to make further development easier. In a project such as this [collaboration](https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/wiki/How-to-collaborate) is always welcomed and appreciated.
To clarify any basic questions, please read the following common ones:
Yes, both devices are the [same](https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/wiki/First-steps). The one I am using to test all changes is this [Portapack H2+HackRF+battery](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dSMPvNo), which is a kit that includes everything you need. Sadly, the people making the H2 never made the updated schematics available, which is not ideal (and goes against the terms of the license).
To support the people behind the hardware, please buy a genuine [HackRF](https://greatscottgadgets.com/hackrf/) and [PortaPack](https://store.sharebrained.com/products/portapack-for-hackrf-one-kit).
The current stable release is on the [Release](https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/releases/latest) page. Follow the instructions you can find in the release description. There is also [nightly builds](https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/releases/tag/nightly) generated frequently which have the latest features but may contain incomplete or buggy functionality (at least until the bug is found!).
As the firmware for Mayhem is being updated daily and more information about the device is understood and shared then we consider this to be the bleeding edge for this device, so in our opinion currently **YES**.
There is a lot of confusion of which is the latest version because no old version used any actual "version number". Additionally, since the files were distributed on facebook groups, github issue links and similar temporal sources, then there was no central location for them.
This fork (**Mayhem**) uses *major.minor.release* [semantic versioning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning), so you can always compare your current version with the latest from [Releases](https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/releases/latest).
You can write [documentation](https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/wiki), fix bugs and [answer issues](https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/issues) or add new functionality. Please check the following [guide](https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/wiki/How-to-collaborate) with details.
Consider that the hardware and firmware has been created and maintain by a [lot](https://github.com/mossmann/hackrf/graphs/contributors) of [people](https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/graphs/contributors), so always try colaborating your time and effort first.
First, check the [documentation](https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/wiki). If you find a bug or you think the problem is related to the current repository, please open an [issue](https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/issues/new/choose).
