Debug
Gives the information on the memory used by M0 core.
Gives information on the SD card and allows it to be tested.
Gives information on the peripherals:
- RFFC5072
- MAX2837
- SI5351C
- WM8731 or Ak4951 (depending on the IC audio codec detected in your PP brd)
Note : Recently (Manufacturing year: 2023) GSG introduced the new r9 Hackrf board version (already compatible with Hackrf and Portapack-Mayhem fw's).
That new Hackrf board revision r9 has two 2 IC’s changes:
- MAX2837 was replaced by MAX2839.
- Si5351C was replaced by Si5351A with additional clock distribution. A series diode was added to the antenna port power supply.
Starting with HackRF One r6, hardware revisions are detected by firmware and reported by hackrf_info.
Thanks to the Portapack Mayhem Debug menu tool, you can also easily detect that r9 version without disassembling the boards :
Data is provided by the MAX 2837 on chip digital temperature sensor. The accuracy is quoted as 4.33°C per value.
This shows when either the buttons are pressed, the encode knob is turned or the screen is touched. It can also show if the encoder when turned is cleanly stepping the states as it is turned. Note on cheep portapack clones of the encode that is 24 step version can be over sensitive and miss steps. It can be changed with a better-quality version.
Displays the contents of the persitent memory area. (256 bytes)
It is split into three pages, pages can be changes with the encoder and the current offset from the start of p.mem area is displayed on the top: "XX+" Also on the last page theres some padding with FFs displayed after the p.mem area ends.
At the bottom it displays also the current size of the data_t struct (this is what we persist into p.mem) and the currently stored checksum (it is calculated from the first 252 bytes of the p.mem area when changes are made to the settings and then written to the last 4 bytes of p.mem)
The version of the stored config isnt displayed separately but it can be seen as the first 4 bytes of the p.mem area.
