Title: Baikal Firmware update.
Post by: tmmontes on December 06, 2017, 11:28:08 PM

I have downloaded the Baikal Giant + owners manual. Under the upgrade section they give a link to download the tools needed: dfu-util.exe, update_firmware_giant plus.bat, zdag_2.1.2.exe and Baikal_Giant Plus.bin all zipped in a file named Baikal_Giant_Plus_VOO_DATE.zip. When I follow the link it takes me to https://github.com/baikalminer/multi-algo-miner/tree/master/firmware/giant. There is nothing there. If I go up a level there is what looks like everything I need only when I unpack it I have some scanner tools and such but not what is listed to be able to do the job. I have located Win32DiskImager-0.9.5-binary.zip and PiZero_170605_V1.4.img from https://www.baikalminer.com/support04.php

 Can anyone please help with where to get the latest tools and update to be able to update my Baikal Giant+ please?

Thanks in advance.

I'm in the same boat - no giant+ firmware @ git or baikal.  what's the issue with your miner?

I saw my miner version displayed as sgminer/5.5.5-b when I mined zpool. I know there is a later version as my brother's Baikal Giant plus displays sgminer/5.5.6x. I have also seen lots of talk about baikal planning an update to add more algos but so far have not found anything solid.
