PortaPack Mayhem
This is a fork of the Havoc firmware, which itself was a fork of the PortaPack firmware, an add-on for the HackRF. A fork is a derivate, in this case one that has extra features and fixes when compared to the older versions.

Quick overview
If you are new to HackRF+PortaPack+Mayhem, there is an awesome introductory video by Tech Minds available:
Frequently Asked Questions
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. Collaboration is always welcomed and appreciated.
Does it work on H1/H2 PortaPack?
Yes, both devices are the same. The one I am using to test all changes is this PortaPack H2+HackRF+battery, 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). Most members of the community are using a clone of the PortaPack H1+HackRF+metal case, which does not include any battery functionality, but it is a cheaper alternative.
To support the people behind the hardware, please buy a genuine HackRF and PortaPack.
Where is the latest firmware?
The current stable release is on the 
Is this the newest firmware for my PortaPack?
Most probably: YES. If you find new features somewhere else, please suggest them.
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.
This fork (Mayhem) uses major.minor.release semantic versioning, so you can always compare your current version with the latest from Releases.
What about Havoc/GridRF/jamesshao8/jboone's?
- jboone's PortaPack: the vanilla experience
- Havoc: It was the most popular fork of jboone's PortaPack, currrently, it is not being maintained nor updated
- jamesshao8: He keeps his own version of the fork, while not attached as a fork to anything. Latest functions do not follow the license and are not being published with source code, so keep this in mind
- GridRF: They sell PortaPack clones with their own firmware based on a old version, which has no sourcecode available
How can I collaborate
