## What it is
Original firmware for the PortaPack H1, an add-on that makes the HackRF One software-defined radio portable with an LCD touchscreen, audio I/O, and micro SD storage. This repository is archived; active development has moved to the PortaPack Mayhem fork.

## Use cases
- run a portable SDR without a computer
- add a touchscreen UI to a HackRF One
- receive and transmit radio signals in the field
- explore RF signal processing on embedded hardware
- flash original PortaPack H1 firmware

## When to choose
- you need the original ShareBrained firmware for a PortaPack H1
- you want to study the historical codebase the Mayhem fork came from

## When to avoid
- you want active development or new features - use the portapack-mayhem fork instead
- you need support for newer PortaPack hardware variants
- you need bug fixes or community support

## Facets
- artifact type: application

- function: embedded, gui, audio-processing, image-processing
