stafur 39424632bb HackRF Pro (praline) arch-port initial PR (#2958)
* Initial commit and pr for HackRF Pro (praline) arch-port to mayhem-firmware. Please see https://github.com/portapack-mayhem/mayhem-firmware/issues/2957. Added flash specifics for -DBOARD=PRALINE. This firmware only builds with toolchain v9.2.1 if hackrf codebase has -B arm in firmware/hackrf_usb/CMakeLists.txt.

* Updated CMakeLists.txt per coordination with @HtoToo. For -DBOARD=PRALINE FLASH_MB_SIZE and FLASH_MB_LIMIT_SIZE are now 4. Removed praline specific variable for FLASH limits.

* Updated chibios-portapack's board.cpp to support initialization of the HachRF-Pro (praline) FPGA. Added append_fpga_bitstream.py tool to ensure that praline_fgpa.bin bitstream can be appended to -DBOARD=PRALINE produced firmware. In order to ensure successful execution of append_fpga_bitstream.py to append the fpga bitstream we should expect that the bistsream will be located at 0x180000 in flash. This requires that FLASH_MB_LIMIT_SIZE must be 1.5, and FLASH_BYTES_LIMIT_SIZE must be 1535 * 1024. If we want to allow more or less space for the base firmware image sans the fpga bitstream the location of the bistream must be moved to a location other than 0x180000.

* Updated location of praline_fpga.bin bitstream to 0x380000 to allow more room for firmware. Firmware now has 3.5MB, or 2MB more available than before as coordinated with @HTotoo.

* Expanded #ifndef PRALINE to include og and r9 gpio and pin setup as coordinated with @HTotoo.

* Added note for PRALINE FLASH_MB_LIMIT_SIZE and FLASH_BYTES_LIMIT_SIZE to explain why we are using the 3.5 and 3584 values respectively as coordinated with @HTotoo.

* Next round of modifications derived heavily, if not entirely  from work done by @banandana at https://github.com/Banandana/mayhem-firmware. This commit should power on the HackRF Pro (praline) display, power on the fpga, and enable gpio, and provide debug utilties. There is still a lot of work to be done to fully enable the new praline board with this build and firmware architectural porting effort. However, hackrf-one boards do not seem to be adversely impacted by the #ifdef PRALINE statements, and CMakeLists updates, as far as I have been able to test.

* Ran format-code.sh. Updates for this commit are only due to formatting. Tested builds and they seem to work as exptected.

* Addressed fixes in firmware/application and firmware/baseband. Stream now flows to capture and looking glass. Issues were related to thread management. Issues were originally addressed by @banandana.

* Ran format-code.sh to allow for consistency with autoamted clang checks.

* Update hackrf ref repo to mayhem-portapack-hackrf next from https://github.com/portapack-mayhem/hackrf

* Addressed format edits necessary to pass clang-format check.

* Starting addressing Si5351 Clocks for radio sampling. These updates correctly set the Si5351 clock at start up. There appears to be an issue during runtime when testing with RX Test Init, Capture and Looking glass.

* Updated clock_manager.cpp to restore correct function introduced by @banandana when testing with Rx Test Init.

* Switched to using decimation for setting the sample rate without changing the Si5351 clock. This assumes that for the praline board Si5351 CLK0 runs at fixed 8 MHz (constant) and the FPGA decimates to get the desired sample rate. For example, for a 1 MHz sample rate -> Si5351 outputs 8 MHz, FPGA decimates by 8. There is still more work needed here, and potential verification that this is the correct way to operate with this new archteitecture.

* After deliberating on hackrf_usb hackrf_core.c and radio.c, and reviewing firmware/application/hw/si5351.cpp the original approach of using the aproach detailed in hackrf_core.c sample_rate_frac_set() lines 580-582, via the implementation in firmware/application/hw/si5351.cpp seems like the best place to continue testing efforts.

* Tested at ~2.4GHz (2.3 - 2.5) with lookgin glass and was able to receive signals. Added a Signal Path debug app to test gains, and readio mode (receive/transmit).

* Added two debug apps for the RFFC507x. Status View and Tuning View. This helped debug some of the potential issues with tuning.

* update submodule

* format code

* Small touch up merging latest next and ensuring build for HackRF One.

* Reverted edits to re: firmware/baseband/sd_over_usb/scsi.c and firmware/application/portapack.cpp. Source now builds, had to pull latest hackrf submodule.

* Skipped detect hardware for praline board to avoid backscreen in HackRF Pro praline board.

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.

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.

What to buy?

✔️ Static Badge The fabulous H4M complete or upgrade, featuring numerous improvements and accessories. Sold by our friends at OpenSourceSDRLab. Join their giveaways on discord (check the badge on top). EU customers can purchase via Lab401.

✔️ A recommended one is this PortaPack H2, that includes everything you need with the plastic case "inspired" on this.

✔️ Some individuals lean towards the H2 with a metal enclosure, but its advantages remain debated. Share your insights on our wiki.

⚠️ Be cautious , ask the seller about compatibility with the latest releases. Look out for the description of the item, if they provide the firmware files for an older version or they have custom setup instructions, this means it might be NOT compatible, for example:

⚠️ If it looks too different, this might mean that they are using their own recipe, check the different models in our wiki. For example all the H3 and clones of that version use their own version of the firmware. They do not contribute the changes back and eventually you will be left with a device that nobody maintains:
