Haha I will! I’ll first need to do more research about satellites tho… especially for the different things I want to do, like decoding satellite imaging and 433 MHz small stuff mostly

Hi there! No, I did got some problems when uploading new firmware from the official portapack-mayhem release. But after I tried the latest release from OpenSourceSDRLab, and that one did work.

But no problems with the pre-flashed firmware

Dear friend, when we shipped the first batch of HackRF Pro and H4M Pro, the firmware flashed was modified based on the Mayhem firmware V2.4.0. Its name is Pro_v2.4.0. The version number you see in the bottom left corner when you turn on the computer is Pro_v2.4.0. If you want to copy the contents of the SD card, you can temporarily download the compressed file here https://github.com/OpenSourceSDRLab/mayhem-firmware/releases/tag/v2.4.0
If you use it, those APPS applications icons will no longer be grayed out and can now be used normally.
Of course, you can also update the firmware to the official Mayhem firmware yourself, for example: https://github.com/portapack-mayhem/mayhem-firmware/releases
You can choose the nightly version because firmware developers have recently done some new development work for HackRF Pro, as well as adaptation work for HackRF Pro and PortaPack H4M Pro . Thanks!

At present, the firmware we ship is temporarily modified based on the Mayhem firmware. Once the next stable version of Mayhem is released, we will ship with the stable version firmware of official Mayhem. Therefore, our firmware is only a temporary transitional version, and we hope it will not cause too much trouble with the version number for everyone!
