PortaPack MAYHEM firmware
Open-source firmware turns HackRF plus PortaPack hardware into a portable spectrum-analysis and radio experimentation platform.
Software-defined radio separates flexible signal processing from a fixed single-purpose receiver. HackRF One can pair with PortaPack and MAYHEM for portable spectrum, capture, playback, receiver, transmitter, and utility applications, or connect to a desktop running Universal Radio Hacker for IQ recording, demodulation, protocol labeling, decoding chains, simulation, and fuzzing. MAYHEM is an embedded operating workflow; URH is a host analysis suite that still requires measured frequency, gain, threshold, and symbol timing. Match PortaPack hardware and SD assets to the firmware release, since divergent clones may need vendor builds. Begin receive-only on authorized signals, attach the correct antenna, and follow spectrum, privacy, and transmission law before any replay or fuzzing. Compare compatible devices, explore original projects and use the linked guides to get moving.
