This is a fork of the [Havoc](https://github.com/furrtek/portapack-havoc/), which 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 means it is a derivated, so it is basically a clone that has extra features and fixes over the older versions.

The intention of the current repository is to try to get all the latest features and cleanest documentation for them, embracing any colaboration. To clarify any basic question, please read the following common ones: 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:
### Does it work on H1/H2 PortaPack? ### Does it work on H1/H2 PortaPack?
Yes, those 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 PCB available, which is not ideal (and against the license).

### Where is the latest firmware? ### Where is the latest firmware?
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, but these may contain incomplete functionality.

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!).
### Is this the newest firmware for my PortaPack? ### Is this the newest firmware for my PortaPack?
Probably **YES**. 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**.
### Which one is actually the newest? ### Which one is actually the newest?
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.
