The client and the Proxmark3 firmware should always be in sync. Nevertheless, the firmware can be tuned depending on the Proxmark3 platform and options.
Indeed, the RRG/Iceman fork can be used on other Proxmark3 hardware platforms as well.
Via some definitions, you can adjust the firmware for a given platform, but also to add features like the support of the Blue Shark add-on or to select which standalone mode to embed. To learn how to adjust the firmware, please read Advanced compilation parameters.
The repo defaults for compiling a firmware and client suitable for Proxmark3 RDV4.
In order to build this repo for generic Proxmark3 platforms we urge you to read Advanced compilation parameters
cd proxmark3
git pull
make clean && make -j

For instance, on WSl-1 you usually get the libQt5Core.so.5 not found

solution
This is an optional step. If you do
sudo make install
Then the required files will be installed on your system, by default in /usr/local/bin
and /usr/local/share/proxmark3
.
Maintainers can read this doc to learn how to modify installation paths via DESTDIR
and PREFIX
Makefile variables.
The commands given in the documentation assume you did the installation step. If you didn't, you've to adjust the commands paths and files paths accordingly,
e.g. calling ./pm3
or client/proxmark3
instead of just pm3
or proxmark3
.
In most cases, you can run the following script which try to auto-detect the port to use, on several OS:
pm3-flash-all
For the other cases, specify the port by yourself. For example, for a Proxmark3 connected via USB under Linux (adjust the port for your OS):
proxmark3 /dev/ttyACM0 --flash --unlock-bootloader --image bootrom.elf --image fullimage.elf
The firmware files will be searched in the expected locations (installed files, working repo files, user folder, etc.). You can also specify their location:
pm3-flash -b /tmp/my-bootrom.elf /tmp/my-fullimage.elf
or
proxmark3 /dev/ttyACM0 --flash --unlock-bootloader --image /tmp/my-bootrom.elf --image /tmp/my-fullimage.elf
In most cases, you can run the script pm3
which try to auto-detect the port to use, on several OS.
./pm3
For the other cases, specify the port by yourself. For example, for a Proxmark3 connected via USB under Linux:
Here, for example, for a Proxmark3 connected via USB under Linux (adjust the port for your OS):
proxmark3 /dev/ttyACM0
or from the local repo
client/proxmark3 /dev/ttyACM0
