Hardware Revisions — HackRF documentation

# Hardware Revisions

Hardware revisions exist mainly to deal with changes in component availability. Each revision of a product meets the same performance specifications that are measured in the factory.

## HackRF Pro

The initial production revision of HackRF Pro is r1.2.1.

## HackRF One

### HackRF One r1–r4

The first revision of HackRF One shipped by Great Scott Gadgets starting in 2014 was labeled r1. Subsequent manufacturing runs incremented the revision number up to r4 without modification to the hardware design. Manufacturing years: 2014–2020

### HackRF One r5

This experimental revision has not been manufactured.

### HackRF One r6

SKY13350 RF switches were replaced by SKY13453. Although the SKY13453 uses simplified control logic, it did not require a firmware modification. Hardware revision detection pin straps were added. Manufacturing year: 2020

### HackRF One r7

SKY13453 RF switches were reverted to SKY13350. USB VBUS detection resistor values were updated. Manufacturing year: 2021

### HackRF One r8

SKY13350 RF switches were replaced by SKY13453. Manufacturing years: 2021–2022

### HackRF One r9

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. Manufacturing year: 2023

### HackRF One r10

This revision is based on r8, reverting most of the changes made in r9. A series diode was added to the antenna port power supply. Manufacturing year: 2024

## Hardware Revision Identification

HackRF Ones manufactured by Great Scott Gadgets have the revision number printed on the PCB top silkscreen layer near the MAX5864 (U18).

Starting with HackRF One r6, hardware revisions are detected by firmware and reported by `hackrf_info`.
