==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 [https://github.com/mossmann/hackrf/releases 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.
