Firmware

After installing the hardware, make sure you have the following packages installed

   sudo apt install hackrf dfu-util

You can grab the stock HackRF from the Releases on github. Unzip and head to firmware-bin/. Next, you need to put the HackRF into DFU (don't fuck it up!) mode by holding the DFU button (closest to antenna) and plug the HackRF into the USB on the computer. Use the following dfu line to flash the latest firmware

   dfu-util --device 1fc9:000c --download hackrf_one_usb.dfu --reset

You can then flash the SPI flash with

   hackrf_spiflash -w hackrf_one_usb.bin

PortaPack H1

A pretty sweet add-on/mod for your HackRF. I like the H2 but as it breaks some of the licensing and isn't open source, I went with the H1, plus it came with a sweet aluminium case.

Firmware

The process is mostly the same as above, though use the Release of choice (I prefer Mayhem) and do the same:

   dfu-util --device 1fc9:000c --download hackrf_one_usb.dfu --rese
   hackrf_spiflash -w portapack-firmware-of-choice.bin

If you are using Mayhem, make sure to grab the COPY TO SDCARD file and copy the contents to the root of the SD Card used.
