Preparing Proxmark3 Software

Open a terminal: Konsole (KDE) / Terminal (GNOME) Download (and install) subversion, p7zip, and components essential to build the Proxmark from 
source:

 sudo emerge subversion p7zip make gcc readline dev-libs/libusb perl wget dev-qt/qt-meta:4

Plug in the Proxmark3

Insert the Proxmark and check “dmesg”, you will get one of the following outputs that will affect the next few steps.

Reflashing Proxmark3

Check out the latest revision of the Proxmark project:

 git clone https://github.com/Proxmark/proxmark3.git

Check out an older svn revision of the Proxmark project:

 svn checkout   
-r 623 http://proxmark3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk pm3 

Get devkitARM release 41 from SourceForge (choose either the 64/32 –bit depending on your architecture, it is assumed you know how to check and recognize your architecture):

• 
(64-bit) http://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/files/devkitARM/devkitARM_r41-x86_64-linux.tar.bz2/download
• (32-bit) http://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/files/devkitARM/devkitARM_r41-i686-linux.tar.bz2/download

Extract the contents of the .tar.bz2:

 tar jxvf devkitARM_r41-<arch>-linux.tar.bz2

Create a directory for the arm dev kit:

 sudo mkdir –p /opt/devkitpro/

Move the ARM developer kit to the newly created directory:

 sudo  mv devkitARM   
/opt/devkitpro/

Add the appropriate environment variable:

 export   
PATH = ${PATH}:/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/bin/

Add the environment variable to your profile:

echo   
'PATH = ${PATH}:/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/bin/ ' >> ~/.bashrc

Enter the newer proxmark repository (proxmark3) and issue the “make” command; To compile the bootrom, OS and software Use the older version of the flasher to update the proxmark:

 /path/to/old/flasher -b bootrom/obj/bootrom.elf
 /path/to/old/flasher armsrc/obj/fullimage.elf


You can now skip forward to DRIVER INSTALLATION!
