Proxmark 3 Evolution

Hello together,

in my thread for analyzing the ES1000 system was mentioned, that i dont have correct firmware.
From this page I used the link to a thread here in the forum.
But last version downloadable their is pm3-bin-2.4.0.

I purchased this one in june this year and it seems to be outdated.
Lab401 doesn't mention it and in their table was the difference, that the Evo is for desktop use optimised.

I'm currently using the Proxmark 3 Evolution with the latest git release build with the windows compiler:
hw version

#db# Performing i2c bus recovery
#db# I2C bus recovery  error: SDA still LOW

SmartCard Slot: available

uC: AT91SAM7S512 Rev B
Embedded Processor: ARM7TDMI
Nonvolatile Program Memory Size: 512K bytes. Used: 204806 bytes (39%). Free: 319482 bytes (61%).
Second Nonvolatile Program Memory Size: None
Internal SRAM Size: 64K bytes
Architecture Identifier: AT91SAM7Sxx Series
Nonvolatile Program Memory Type: Embedded Flash Memory

One problem is also that this pm recognize the 125kHz Card but not the transponders.

Using lf tune for voltage measuring:
Nothing on Proxmark Evo:

# LF antenna: 43.17 V @   125.00 kHz
# LF antenna: 18.84 V @   134.00 kHz
# LF optimal: 47.57 V @   122.45 kHz

ES1000 Card:

# LF antenna: 38.22 V @   125.00 kHz
# LF antenna: 22.55 V @   134.00 kHz
# LF optimal: 38.22 V @   125.00 kHz

Hitag S Transponder - factory new one:

# LF antenna: 42.62 V @   125.00 kHz
# LF antenna: 20.49 V @   134.00 kHz
# LF optimal: 43.31 V @   123.71 kHz

My question now is, do I have to get the RDV 4.0 or can I go on with the evo?!

Thank you very much.

Re: Proxmark 3 Evolution

Problem with Evo is that is has a different FW because it has a different set of pin assignments in the HW.   Or that was what I heard.  Not sure of offical repo works on it because of that.

Hi iceman
From what I recall, the only difference with the EVO is the RGB LED.
I seem to remember (but this is a while back) that you'd merged the RGB LED code (or compile time flags..?) into the Proxmark main repo.

I believe that was indeed the reason that Elechouse released the product, because there was no fork required for the FW.

No, I fixed elechouse repo but never saw it again afterwards.
