TO THE MOON My Kia forte can do just over 100 miles an hour on a slight downhill straight way. I did it one time. I don't push it. Same with mining gear. edit: I have been notified someone is possibly impersonating on telegram. Telegram chat for assistance: https://t.me/AsicTo Change log: Hi Guys. Meet 2.0.1 release for Antminer s17, s17pro, t17, s17+, t17+. Changes: 1) Modified, improved and accelerated the work of autotune. 2) Added an option that ignores the minimal voltage set in profile. 3) Corrected the mixed-up data entry in the auto-switch section. 4) renamed “fan rpm check” to “immersion mode” and moved to the settings section. Hi guys. Meet firmware release 2.0.0 for Antminer s17, s17Pro, s17+, t17, t17+ Changes: 1. General stability, refinement and refactoring of the main driver. 2. Improved display of chip hashrate. 3. Fixed the output display of the current timezone in the regional settings. 4. Made minor changes to the design of the web gui. 5. New profiles added: S17 - 55th, 60th, 63th. S17+ - 55th, 60th, 62th, 68th, 74th, 80th, 88th. T17 - 40th. T17+ - 40th, 48th, 55th, 63th, 68th. 6. Added an automatic correction of red domains (TIMER). 7. Extended voltage search ranges for auto-tuner profiles. 8. Added full customization of the miner’s manual auto-tuning. 9. Made a smooth change in the fan speed during miner initialization (without a sharp jump). 10. Added protection for breaking the chip chain to prevent equipment failure. 11. Added automatic “emergency” cooling mode, in case of “loss” of the miner temp sensors. 12. Added processing of erroneous data from temperature sensors. 13. Modified Log, now the status of the miner has become more understandable and detailed. 14. Implemented saving all miner logs even in the event of a complete reboot. 15. And most importantly, your miner will forget about overheating, bringing you a profit with maximum uptime due to the automatic switching of auto tuner profiles with a flexible system of settings to adapt the miner to changes in ambient temperature. Switching profiles is carried out by setting the temperature range and fan speeds for (automatic mode). Hi guys. I am glad to present the first official release of the Best mining firmware version 1.0.0 for Antminers s17 & T17 Hi Guys. Meet the new release for Antminer S17, S17 Pro, T17, S17 +, T17 + version 1.1.0 from the best development team✌🏻. 1) General stability, code refactoring to simplify adding support for other models and finalizing the main driver. 2) Full support for S17+. 3) Full support for T17+. 4) Added a new way of reading temperature sensors (rewritten from scratch). 5) Automatic switching to a lower profile when the miner overheats. 6) Automatically switches to a lowered profile when it is not possible to tune the selected profile. 7) Added a trigger for the maximum number of miner restarts in case of a board failure. Cool Improved cooler speed control algorithm (smooth transition from manual to automatic mode without failures). 9) Fixed error setting voltage in manual mode. 10) Fixed the minimum hash rate check (worked when the value was 0 as disabled in the config). 11) Added information on all successful profiles tuned. 12) Added protection of the miner against hashrate theft by viruses. 13) Low temperatures mode is activated only when the silent mode is on (silent start). 14) A trigger has been added that makes it possible to disable the function of heating (pre-heating) chips. 15) Fix a bug, when the firmware sets the cooler speed to 100% in manual mode. 1.0.0 1. General stability. 2. Correction of profile parameters for S17 / T17. 3. Improved nicehash support (extranonce subscribe). 4. Added trigger to disable / enable voltage (cold start). 5. Added trigger to disable / enable domain unbalance check. 6. Added the ability of target chip temp (new proprietary and much cooler adjustment method, which significantly reduced fan speed). 7. Implemented support for a “quiet" start of the miner. 8. Automatic transfer of the miner to warm-up mode when starting in cold conditions. 9. Added registration of dead chips during autotune. 10. Improved and significantly reduced the launch time of the miner. 11. Added saving chips freq / autotune result for subsequent manual pre-tuning. 12. Added checking for all types of viruses that we know about today. 13. All functionality is added to the config multiplier section. 14. Activated time zone. 15. Added the estimated power consumption by the miner (electronic wattmeter). 16. The status of the miner (its API) is available immediately at startup after 15 seconds. 17. Added The ability to set the critical temperature of the chips to automatically disable the hash board. 0.9.9 1) The autotune work has been finalized and fully adjusted. 2) Completely rewritten algorithm for adjusting the voltage of the chips. 3) Improved method for controlling unbalanced domains. 4) Adjusted and fully customized profiles. 5) Added compatibility with BTC Tools version 1.2.6. 6) Fixed config multiplier with batch propagating workers. 7) Added pool support for nicehash.com. Cool Added pool support for warphash.com. 9) Checked and fixed stability of the emcd.io pool New release, 0.9.8_beta for Antminer S17 & T17 models What is done: 1. General stability 2. Extended and refactored the main driver. 3. The next iteration of refinement and improvement of errors (HW) 4. Hash rate loss on some pools was analyzed and fixed. 5. Added support for P2P pool. 6. Activated the multiplier for the distribution of mass batch configs. 7. Work on with the reading of temperature sensors I2C 8. Created more than 10 overclocking profiles. 9. Added autotune!!! (note, autotune results are saved in a separate config, when changing a profile to a new one and returning to the previous profile, a repeated autotune is not required, except for a forced retune by the user). After the completion of the tune, “temporarily” changes to the chips in the manual section of gui are not displayed. 10. Autotune is taken out as a separate log in the profiles section. 11. Automatic reboot when unbalancing domains to save chips from burnout. 12. Added manual downgrade of the entire domain. S9 Volt Rocket Ship -----AutoTuning Firmware----- Here is a flashable firmware with some pretty solid specs that beats all the current competition. Vnish made this so much better xD There is a dev fee on this firmware but it is less than what you will find the competitor's whos fees are often larger than advertised in excess of 4%. Here are the results 475 - 8.0 - 10 TH/s - 750 watt 550 - 8.2 - 11,6 ths - 950 watt (78 waтт / THs) 631 - 8.3 - 13,5 ths - 1100 watt (81 waтт / THs) 700 - 8.6 - 14,9 ths - 1300 watt (85 waтт / THs) 750 - 8.7 - 16.1 ths - 1450 watt (90 waтт / THs) As you can see this allows current S9's to still be profitable at the current difficulty for those with 7 cent power and cheaper. To upgrade just flash this firmware through the console. This has Asic Boost, LPM, Auto Tune. It has triggers to restart if hashrates fall if more then 5 xxx on the chain. Min Frequency is 400mhz. I suggest setting Frequency for autotune and clicking save. Then for the next 30minutes to 1 hour expect the machine to reboot as it tunes. https://asic.to/firmware-for-antminer-s9-ij-17-5-th-s-70w-th/ ----------------------OLD VERSION -------------------- Quote This is made for the 13.5th and 14th S9i. Download: https://github.com/taserz/S9-Volt-Rocket-Ship/raw/master/bmminer9v Quote The following is good to run at 800mhz and gets 17th/s and is STABLE and will almost max out the bitmain 1600w psu. This one is running at 8.8v and there are a few other small modifications that seemed to work better for the s9i. If you have an s9i use this one below for a stable 17th. I need some people to test this on 13.5 and 14th S9 non i models. Download: https://github.com/taserz/S9-Volt-Rocket-Ship/raw/master/bmminer880 Upgrade instructions:
Now you can benefit from running your s9 like a Rocket Ship.. Get it 9Volt Rocket Ship... It is running at 9 volts muahahaha • You can now increase your voltage up to whichever works best for you. • If one of your fans is not working or is not reporting it to speed it will not complain and flood your kernal log. • I believe I have it so no fans can be plugged in and it will hash perfect for immersive cooling. • If you flashed to the fix frequency prior you have full fan control. • If you are looking to hash at a lower speed at lower voltage I changed the following 650mhz to 631 8.8v 631 to 631mhz to 606mhz 8.7v 581mhz or less 8.6v. I might be changing this completely based on feedback. Please post below any issues you have so I can tweak the file a bit more. Also please post what frequency you are able to run stable at and please let us know if it is a 13.5th or 14th unit. The goal of this mod is to make it so you can squeeze as much power as you can out of the bitmain psu so if you have cheap or free electricity you can benefit from the increased speed. If any of your miner turn off and don't immediately turn back on it is because the psu when into protective mode because it was drawing to much power. Please let me know if that happens to you and list which bitmain psu you have as some are capable of 1600w and some 1800w but we have noticed the ones rated at 1600w go much higher than that. Please also post what temps you are running at and at which frequency. Known Issues: • Hashboard do not report temps but will still mine. Possible good and bad. If you have a hashboard with no temp reading it may work just fine with this mod. The miner will still stop mining if it overheats. If you have any issues stop bmminer from putty and in WinSCP delete bmminer and then rename bmminer.old to bminner which will be your stock settings. Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~Time to Max Out Your Bitmain PSU~ Post by: taserz on June 25, 2018, 09:19:59 PM At 725mhz it runs at 1782W so anything under that should run stable on the bitmain PSU

Going over 18th generally means 2kw of power draw. It works with Antminer S9i 14TH/s or old S9? It will work on both of them. I might compile a firmware setup for the apw3 aka 1600w psu vs the new 1800w psu.

At those temps the case gets so hot, wouldn't the cables begin to melt and life of the miner drastically reduce? Also is there a point to doing this is if extra power draw negates the increased hashing power? It looks like it would be a great setup for liquid cooling though.

Also is there a point to doing this is if extra power draw negates the increased hashing power? It looks like it would be a great setup for liquid cooling though. The cables are rated for 125C heat. It is good to remember that the frequency can be varied based on temperature to keep below any threshold. With 35C current summer temps, it is clear that this method would be very effective during the winter. Of course, it uses extra power, but it is still proportional. So for example instead of $4 profit - $2 electricity you can have $6 profit - $3 electricity and increase your profits by 150%. Lastly if a board dies on a miner and warranty replacement is not possible, you can recover much of the hashrate using this method to have at least 12th left over, not far from the original 13.5th.

You don't have to reflash firmware if you recompile bmminer to use fixed frequency. Then you just replace bmminer.sh on the miner with your modified version.

That's why I thought I need to replace the auto-freq firmware with the older fix-650M one, before I can replace the bmminer.sh with your modified version. Now you say I don't have to do the first step? Just want to confirm that. Okay, if you said that, then I will skip the first step and go to the next ones. Hope it will works. Thanks again.

You only need to flash the fixed frequency firmware in order to gain the controls on the dashboard for fan control. If you use the stock firmware it will still work just fine except the antminer will adjust the fan for the given temperature which honestly works just fine as well. The ability to change fan speed was more so to make the miner run quiet if needed.

It does the exact same thing as this except I didn't bother making a firmware file nor change the settings pages to easily change the fan speed. Also I find it funny you advertise AsicBoost even though it is not possible with the s9's due to hardware limitations.

My brand new s9i just jumped from 13.5 to 17TH/s. I'm facing the issue with no temp reporting as you mentioned as possible problem. Any idea from where it comes? Will you try to fix it? So what I did to make it work for the s9i is. I flashed the s9i Factory firmware (well I held down ip report while powering it on so it reset itself) Then copied the version of bmminer over that I made and it kept the temps reporting. With the ambient temp at 80F the three hashboard are running at 99-101C with very little HW errors over a 24hour time span I got 17/13/26 hw errors for chain 6/7/8.

Or does it reboot with both firmware regardless at 750m?
Do you have a bitmain 1600w psu because if it is drawing to much power and the psu is causing it to reboot that could be the cause of it shutting down. If you used the bitmain psu and you go over the voltage the psu will shut down and go into protect mode for a few minutes unless you reset it. The other cause is the miner needs more voltage to run at that mhz. If that is the case I can make a bminer at 8.9v or even try at 8.7volts. (I don't think 8.7volts is going workout to well though and cause lots of HW errors but I can build it) I am assuming we are not drawing to much power since I am not tripping a 1600w psu with the same firmware granted I am testing with an s9i and it is only 5% more efficient. That was very garbled... My question is does 750m not work with both firmware and do you have bitmain psu so we can see if it is just drawing to much power and that is why it is resetting since you have no meter to tell power draw and if we overload it and it goes in protect mode we will know. (my meter comes tomorrow so I can make a decent guess as well) I don't see any reason why the 13.5 will not run at 750m as I have successfully gotten it to run at 18.5th with two psus. We might just need to tweak some setting in bminner. I did notice however one of your hashboard is throwing errors and not your others. If one hashboard is weaker than the rest and has issues it will cause the whole miner to act up if one board is not as fast as the rest. EDIT: This is what mine is looking like right now granted this is a machine that is 5% more efficient than yours. https://i.imgur.com/I6uEdBB.png (https://i.imgur.com/I6uEdBB.png) Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~Time to Max Out Your Bitmain PSU~ Post by: tim-bc on July 19, 2018, 01:32:32 PM The other cause is the miner needs more voltage to run at that mhz.

Doing 9.4 volts you're drawing a lot more power than I really want to. The point is to keep the voltage low and the hashrate high because if you draw a lot more power the point of mining at a faster speed diminishes because your paying for a lot more electricity. At 9.4v the miners can draw up to 2100 watts of power...

I have gotten a few reports now on the 13.5 and I am thinking the 13.5 s9 is a bit of a lottery on if it can run at 800Mhz stable or not. If not your best bet is to run it at 725-750 as you did as the hw errors are far less as you saw. You CAN get the 13.5th to run at 800Mhz or more but it would require more than 9volts and honestly anything beyond 9v of power makes the efficiency go to shit why mind 18th at 2.1kw when you can just mine 16.5 at 1600w you know in most cases unless your electricity is very cheap it would just cost more. Luckily Darval contacted me and is going to assist me with making this have an autotune per each board. So you would set voltage and then it would tune to the best speed for the voltage so if you got a 1600w or 1800w psu you can get the maximum bang for your buck. But I am not C programmer and they are so they are going to be a godsend for me as I am more familiar with python java (meh) matlab r studio afni/ I would suggest trying to run it at 750Mhz. Also if you would like to try this: https://github.com/taserz/S9-Volt-Rocket-Ship/raw/master/bmminer890 Is 8.9v and it might be worth trying at 750 if 8.8v is throwing to many errors or even beyong 750 since your psu can handle it.

I forgot to mention that one of my 13.5 TH s9i is stable mining at 17 TH with your 8.8v mod. I've changed the original apw7 psu with 2.4 kw HP server psu and ASIC is pulling 2050 w from the wall.

I have to check! I got my first s9i out of a warranty fix and the first thing I did was hack it but I can roll it back tomorrow and check what it defaults at. I wish I had some of the apw7 since they are 1800w. It appears the 13.5th/s are probably best to run at 725mhz because anything beyond that they start to draw a LOT of power and the efficiency goes right out the window. For example at 18th your probably doing like .110-.12j/GH which is a 10-20% reduction in efficiency. So yes it is mining faster and drawing more power but it's power draw is no longer .098j/gh. So far from testing between a few users it looks like the s9i like 17th/s quite well. I need more testing with an s9 14th/s unit but I assume it would be similar to the s9i. The 13.5th unit seems to draw a lot of power once you go beyond 725mh and will start tripping 1600w psu and really anything beyond the 725mhz range it starts to lose a lot on efficiency.

The boards will have a different best frequency since they are not all created equal. But they should still end up within 10-300gh/s of each other for the most part. There will be an autotune version being made where you just pick your voltage and it will search for the most stable mhz per board so each board will have a different frequency.

I am happy with that number because today isn't particularly hot, and I live in a hot country. I need to probably not go any higher with the OC. I'll run it for a few hours and report back. I will be getting my other machines back from hosting tomorrow and I'll test them out. All on the 1600W Bitmain PSU. So far I am very pleased though. Thank you so much!

If you get adventurous can you see what mhz you 14t can run stable on 8.8v I have a feeling those can go up to 800mhz but my units are being hosted. Could you try increasing it slowly until it starts getting HW errors. I think it will trip the PSU and draw to much power @ around 800mhz thought since the chip is less efficient but it's a gamble since not all hashboards are made equal.

Electric is sketchy in my country too, so I don't want to tempt fate. You don't have to worry about sketchy electricity. The bitmain psu is actually really good and if the miner causes itself to surge and draw more than 1600w of power it will turn off the miner and go in protect mode so you will have to unplug it for a little bit. if you use more then 1 psu then you can end up drawing more than 1600w.

But let it run for a while the hw errors tend to stop after it gets going for a bit. I have had stock s9's do 200 hw errors in an hour. But I found once you get it running for a bit it tends to slow down. 725 isa what many were finding is best for 13.5 and 14 s9. Some 14th s9 were going pretty high.

I've gradually stepped up the frequency from 675 Mhz and have found that some are dramatically less efficient than others. I let the machine sit for 1-2 hours on the pool to get comparative hash reports. If pool and S9 gui are 2+ TH off from each other (pool always less), I immediately try the next frequency. What else should I be watching?

If the pool is off by over 2 th you probably have a lot of hw errors that or the pool takes a long time to get the speed like slushs pool it takes 1 hour to get the proper reported speed.

I tried today to start your firmware on 800M(bmminer880) the temperature sensor on the third Board stopped working, gave an error. As the temperature jumped to 88, 103 degrees, like lags. I'm stopping at 750M. Before that, a few days I tested 725M. What about your meter? What is the power consumption board for 800M and 8.8v? And what about the setup for each board? I noticed (as I said before) some boards are able to take a good overclocking, some are not. For example, one board can take 700M only, the other 750M.

Could you send me your kernal log when it does that again? Yeah 95-105ish is normal for 800mhz the factory defaults on the s9 thermal throttle at 120 but I have this set to the new bitmain firmware setting of 110. I am going to use the meter today. I got to figure out how to properly do this haha... Since dc you can't just clamp you have to probe it and I am trying to figure out the best way to probe it.

I am curious what the fuck dolz's firmware did to your machine but I got a few ideas today! I see in the source code that miner_type T9 is called S9_Plus and yours is calling itself s9_plus in your logs as well. So So your miner says S9_Plus that is The T9 (s9+ isn't a miner sold by bitmain they just call it that in their source code it might have had a name change before it was for sale) S9_Plus is T9 S9_63 is S9 R4 is R4 T9_18 is T9+ After changing bmminer to the version I gave you through winscp and changing file permissions it should say T9_18 in your kernal logs. I will recompile again to make sure. Also if you have another working T9+ that WAS not flashed by that guy you can copy the bmminer off of those and replace it on your other machines. IF it still doesn't work you need to replace the malicious firmware that guy made or buy a new logic board. I have reported his thread multiple times and the mods won't remove it. He changes ssh password and hijacks more mining power than advertised. I am all for a small 1% dev fee but 10x-25x that is a lie. A recompile of T9+ bmminer: https://github.com/taserz/S9-Volt-Rocket-Ship/raw/master/bmminer880_T9%2B If that still doesn't work after you replace bmminer on the machine I can try to compile it for the T9 but I doubt the T9 will work on the T9+ SD card firmware load: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQhYFrJaq0E @Darval said Quote The problem is information stored on the pic on each hash board I think. Each board has its own micro with flash memory. It is where the autotune stuff stores the freq and voltage to use. It looked like he managed to screw up some of the pic's. It might be recoverable. We need to get that guys thread removed if it just bricks or damages a T9+ Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~Time to Max Out Your Bitmain PSU~ Post by: x3aklili on July 29, 2018, 12:44:51 AM taserz your trying is appreciated.

It's the same firmware as the 8.8v for the s9 just for the T9 firmware hopefully darval will be able to help you out! i hope too. also your trying is appreciated. you spent a lot of time on my case :) Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~Time to Max Out Your Bitmain PSU~ Post by: taserz on July 29, 2018, 05:54:51 PM i hope too. also your trying is appreciated. you spent a lot of time on my case :) Your welcome man trying what I can to save you from buying a logic board and that idiot that made that dollz firmware came out and said they never even tested it on a t9+. If anyone can do it it's darval. Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~Time to Max Out Your Bitmain PSU~ Post by: Pizzi_h on July 29, 2018, 07:23:18 PM Hi great job with the firmware!
Ive managed to change the bmminer to 8.8v 9v and changing back to original. Its an 13.5th with 1600w bitmain psu At first it worked great with the 8.8v 725mhz. Temperature around 93-97c. Then it just stopped hashing after a few hours and playing around with the miner. It works for 3-4 min then it stops to hash. In the log ut says to high temperature. And then all of a sudden i starts to get "lost connection" i have other miners on the same Network and they still work. Does anyone see anything strange in the log? Thanks for all the help. :) and keep up the work with the coding!

That is really odd as your miner is not overheating if it was in the 90s as it is set to thermal throttle at 110C.

Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~Time to Max Out Your Bitmain PSU~ Post by: somename on July 30, 2018, 08:02:54 PM Hi, thank you very much for that firmware. I did some testing with 880mV version and measured the energy consuption at the wall using energy meter. Not sure if it is super accurate, but its just for comparsion. I'm running all miners in oil, but PSU (original bitmain 1600W) are outsite and ambient temp is quite high (35C/95F during day now), therefore I'm not going to run those PSUs at 120%.
S9i (running its original autotune FW) stock 14TH@1450W - 675MHz 14.5TH@1530W - 725MHz 15.6TH@1650W - 750HHz 16.1TH@1710W - I will be running this setting, HW errors in single digits per hour - 775MHz 16.7TH@1770W S9 (original autotune FW, 03/2018 batch I think) stock 13,8TH@1480W (900mV,900mV,910mV) - 700MHz 15TH@1580W - 725MHz 15.6TH@1650W - 750MHz 16.1TH@1700W Interesting thing for me is, that temperature on those S9i increased only about 1-degrees, but on S9 it is now +20C (61->81). Do you have any idea why? Does it have something to do with "TempTypeID=1a middle offset=-51"? Maybe those older boards should have different offset? Also, will you be so kind and compile 870mV FW and put it on github? I would love to try lower voltage and higher clock speed, as I'm oil-cooling it I have no problems with overheating.

Two of miners went out the same way and no matter of resetting can undo the damage. On the other hand, your overclock firmware for S9i worked well.

If you read the thread the guy flashed some other guys firmware and bricked his t9+ and mentioned it here. We are just trying to fix it. Our modification didn't brick his T9+ nor will it even run properly since it is defined in bmminer for an s9 only. The T9+ firmware I built for him is almost the same as the factory in hopes the malicious bmminer was the issue but it is not.

One of my S9 (01/2018 batch) is having trouble to keep up hashing on 2 boards above 700MHz. It is hashing, but RT is much lower than ideal.

You can go lower than 880 and run it more efficiently but your overclock potential goes out the window. 880 is the stock voltage bitmain use to use before auto tune so it has the best luck with overclocking. So you 14th S9 is running at 725mhz and on the apw3 1600w and is drawing 1645w? How long has it been running and does it trip your bitmain psu at all?

I am trying to rewrite my tool set to support both the T9+ and S9 since they both use a similar interface at the low level (the L3 and A3 use the linux i2c driver to talk to the pic, the T9+ and S9 go directly through the FPGA).

just check your router for new ip of antminer and login root/root u just have to set it up from scratch now ur using a diff firmware maybe it changes the macaddress of eth0.. if root/root doesnt work put a little needle in the reset button and it'll reset to root/root or root/admin Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~Time to Max Out Your Bitmain PSU~ Post by: MrMaxwell on August 04, 2018, 04:46:55 AM it defaulted to DHCP. duhhhhhhhhhhh

last night i tested 800 freq for a bit and i was getting 1910 watts but i stopped after 20min i didnt want to trip the breaker lol this breaker max is 1800 so it was pushing it, i will try on the 220volt (3600 watts) soon my setup is a little warm i have a 12000btu AC facing 6 S9's (i have dryer ducting attached to all fans going out the house) plus 12 gpu in the room with the window open, ambient right now is around 25 but it gets humid where i live in canada so today i want to test its limits. its going to be 30 degrees.. so todays temp will hit 29 degrees c but humidity 39degrees c (102.2 f) I'm also testing 2psu on one s9i 850watt 80+platinum to a single asic board plus the controller and see if i can blow this up with the 1600watt on 2 asic boards right now im getting 15,9-16TH 750.00 with 2 PSU 850watt is pulling 612watts off the first asic board and controller, the other 2 asic boards are 1110watts total pulled from the wall 1720-1750watts right now, getting warmer almost 11am here ontario canada .. as it gets warmer it puts more stress on the psus pulling from the wall, i expect that 1750 to hit 1800 just because of the humidity Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~Time to Max Out Your Bitmain PSU~ Post by: rz66 on August 05, 2018, 07:13:03 PM here is an update

I have tested the firmware with 2 units of s9 batch Jan 2018 (auto tune). However I found a problem with the fan setting, 1 unit flashed with 650m fw, another one on stock fw, both usable with freq tuning, but the only problem is fan setting, no matter how I set it, be it on UI with hidden feature, or config file, result same. Speed is going for a roller coaster ride, up and down all the time. I have followed the instruction on page 1, and also read all 8 pages from this forum discussion, tried everything. Problem: Fan speed. BTW, I live in warm country, all year round 30degree Celsius, and those miners has been placed in an air conditioned room which ambient temp is about 18-20degree c. However, I have also found a problem where the temperature rise very quickly from 15-20degree c. Is the reading wrong or just the firmware yet be perfect? Please kindly advise. Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~Time to Max Out Your Bitmain PSU~ Post by: somename on August 06, 2018, 10:18:16 PM Also, will you be so kind and compile 870mV FW and put it on github? I would love to try lower voltage and higher clock speed, as I'm oil-cooling it I have no problems with overheating. Yes I will do it later tonight or in the morning. Hi taserz, any chance you find a time to compilte that 870mV binary? I would love to try that on my S9i. PS: I will defo send you some donation soon. Very good mod. Thanks!

I am using 2 HP Server PSUs, 1x750w (running 1 board) and 1x1200w (running 2 boards and controller) at 706.25 freq for some reason the single 750w PSU keeps resetting itself. I suspect it's because it might be going bad as I've been using it for almost 2 years. Temperatures were varying from 78-85 -/+ 2 degrees in any direction. It seems to run stable at 700 flat, running each board 4950ish-5100ish GH/S I suspect I could get more if I could get the temperature in my garage lower, ambient air temp is around 78 degrees. I think come winter time I can play around with it more, I will also try using my Bitmain PSU, though I dont get full potential out of it on 110v plug, I don't have a 220v in my garage. Thanks for the info on the fan speed mod, I will give it a try!

More easy to find, and more clear to people that are not so familiar with flashing etcetera. Also,as some other people post their linkt and software in your post as well, which is confusing, it might prevent unwanted errors. (especially for non-natives...) Not meaning to criticize, just giving my opinion. Im looking for the best firmware to put on the S9 and S9i with 1600W psu's. Is it the one in your first post? Seems to be the one for 1800W as far as i understand. Thank you.

Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~Time to Max Out Your Bitmain PSU~ Post by: dutchlincoln on August 12, 2018, 07:34:32 AM @taserz: today i want to try one of my S9's to flash to your modded fw and try to squeeze ot 16-17Th with the stock psu.
Can you tell me what temperatures do with this mod, as there is not that much info about it. Will the miner work more efficient and temps stay roughly equal, or will they significantly rise? I assume the latter, as the extra power should go somewhere...? :) Thanks. Edit: So, i installed (actually my son did, but hey...) the firmware, and it seems to work. I put it onto 2 of my miners: one with one defective hashboard, and one that is on my top drawer and one of the coolest miners at 77 celcius as we speak. The 2-boarder indeed increased quite some at 10.7Th stable@800 and 825Mhz. When set to 850, it drops to 10.3TH. Temp rises, but not able to compare. The other has been set to 800 also, not tried higher yet, and gets a decent 16.3Th@800Mhz setting, with a temp. increase of 11 deg. reaching 88 celcius. One thing which i find a bit odd, is that my Awesome miner states 16.3Th, while my pool within 10-20 seconds went to 13Th readout, and further increases by .1Th each 5-10 minutes or so. As we speak it has crawled to 13.8, still not doing better as some of my S9i's (exept according to awesome miner and the actual webbased miner screen.) All i did so far was setting the frequency. What are the advised next steps? Also a few tips/requests if possible: - Can you make the advanced screen appear just in the manu, instead of url change? - is there apossibility to set the fan speeds? - please add in your description how to change the rights of the firmware, not everyone knows Linux that well... :) - it would be highly advisable to make a small index of which firmware does what to which miner. - i find it a little confusing how you set the 2 firmwares in your start post and state both are optimised for S9i (?) No harm was meant by my comment, just good intentions. I know from expirience that as im not native, sometimes i miss the "subtle way" of writing.

Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~Time to Max Out Your Bitmain PSU~ Post by: taserz on August 13, 2018, 07:16:15 AM [...] It is a bit of a mix between the 2 versions based off what psu you have. I much prefer using the 8.8v one for the s9i as it runs very stable and not too hot at 800mhz-825mhz. Anything beyond that you will get a drop in hashrate because you would need more power to run it better hence the 9volt firmware or any of the others on the github. You can tweak the frequency to the max it can for each voltage but as voltage goes up and mhz goes up efficiency is slowly lost so you need to find a happy medium. For me that is 8.8@800mhz 9.2@900mhz. The pool doesn't know the hasrate of the miner. It just does some math of how many accepted shares over time. Most pools take 1 hour to figure out the hashrate such as slush. -I could but that would need to be a firmware flash and I have no built firmware packages yet. Also making this a little bit more difficult than just flashing a firmware makes sure the users will read the thread before flashing a thirdparty software. I want people to know what the changes are and not just flash and hope for the best granted that will be coming. -Fan speed can be set I posted somewhere above in the threads a way to hard set the fan speeds while connected over winscp by changing the config file. -For the proper linux permissons it should be 0777 -All the firmwares do the same thing they just have different fixed voltages. -The orignal firmware was to run at 9v. Then I figured I should make a bunch of different ones for different psu configurations and the more efficent s9i,s9j. You have to see which works best for you. For me I like the s9i at 8.8v@800mhz with apw3+ and 9.2v@900mhz with apw5+ Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~Time to Max Out Your Bitmain PSU~ Post by: alikas74 on August 15, 2018, 09:17:15 AM hi.

I have a mix of old and older S9 miners. One is an 11.85t, one 14t, but most are 13.0-13.5t. I haven't tried your process yet because I have new power supplies coming. They're modified 2450w HP units from Amity Labs in Oregon. I have cheap power in Washington State ;D My question concerns the oddball miners I have. Is this just trial and error with the overclocking or do you have some specific guidelines for where to start with which machine? I'm eager to try the 920 or 930 packages, but of course I don't want to burn anything up. Also, were you able to set up the software so each hash board can run a different frequency (mentioned in post 42)? There's some guy selling S9 firmware on eBay that claims to be able to change the frequency per chip! His "dev fee" is 1.8% though...

It appears though keeping them all the same frequency is the base use scenario. The cards generally all perform at around the same rate sometimes there is one underperforming. Also, I have run the 9.3v and 9.4v you need LOTS of airflow and low ambient temp.

Thanks in advance! Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~Time to Max Out Your Bitmain PSU~ Post by: hka on August 21, 2018, 07:27:37 PM Hello Taserz,
First, I'd like to say thanks for all the work you've done. Second, I was hoping you could help. I have a 13.5 S9 that I'm trying to overclock with your mods. I have followed the instructions on page one. I flashed the fixed frequency firmware (650) from Bitmain's website and I have replaced the stock bmminer with yours (880). After the mod, in the kernal log, I can see two different frequencies: Code: Miner Type = S9 Is this right? If so, at which frequency is it running? Also, on the configuration page, I am only able to select between 550M, 600M or 650M. In another post in this thread you talked about making the changes on the advanced tab. I don't have that tab anywhere. Am I doing something wrong, or do I need to manually tweak other files through WinSCP? Thanks in advance for the help.

Thank you for this. I have installed the bmminer880 mod, using the auto-freq default firmware. I don't have in my house a bitmain 1600 psu. I have EVGA G2 Gold-1600 watts. I am running one of my S9 13.5 at 700 , and its giving around 14.9 Th/s. Good stable for about 30 mins. Good temps below 86 for chip2. At 725 it gave me a little bit more : ideal-15.6, avg: 15.3 Th/s- good stable for about 15 mins. Good temps below 87 for chip2. At 750 it gave me a little bit more : ideal 16.159, avg: 15.7 Th/s - good stable for about 15-20 mins. Good temps below 90 for chip2. Few hardware errors in two of the cards chain 6: 1 Hw-error chain 7: 7 Hw-errors chain 8: 0 Hw-errors At 800 it gave me a little bit more : ideal 17.236, avg: 16.4 Th/s - good stable for about 15-30 mins. Good temps below 94 for chip2. This one game me more hardware errors chain 6: 40 Hw-errors chain 7: 45 Hw-errors chain 8: 3 Hw-error It also seems the discarded increases a lot when running at 800, and the pool does not reach expected high values for hash rate. Maybe an observation issue... but just reporting. I am afraid of increasing the Freq above 800. I will repeat the above tomorrow to try to measure the power draw at the wall. Will report if I can make it. In any case This is AWESOME! Thanks! - esr Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~Time to Max Out Your Bitmain PSU~ Post by: taserz on August 22, 2018, 03:47:07 AM [...] 800 is around the limit you can go on the S9 with 880. I mean you can go higher but the HW error rate will quickly climb to far and outweigh it. The errors rate looks good at about 1 error rate a minute after running it for some time it should steady out or drop too. If you ran 890 I bet the 800mhz would have close to no HW errors but would probably trip the 1600w psu and shut it down. Keep it at 880 for 1600w psu Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~Time to Max Out Your Bitmain PSU~ Post by: sergw on August 22, 2018, 11:13:32 PM well, i tried that bmminer880 on ~20 S9 13.5T and 14T models, so 15 are good, but 5 rest(only 13.5T) show Chip temp above 100C with even 650 freq in 1-2min after start. i dont understand what is the difference between that antminers, all have identical spec: S9_V2.54 HW: 16.8.1.3 Bmver: 2.0.0 Firmware: Fri Nov 17 17:37:49 CST 2017

I tested with my S9 13.5Th/s today (2 PSU), at 725mhz it generated 14,965TH/s (ideal 15,620TH/s) and consumed 1753W. But at 750mhz the result was not different when it consumed 50W more. And last time i tried at 800mhz, the result even worse, it dropped down to around 14,000TH/s and ate 1900++W. Each time i tested for 15-30mins and HW error is minor so don't count.

Try one of the firmware above 8.8v (880) try 8.9 or the 9volt one. If you big mhz changes result in almost now th/s increase you need more power otherwise picking high frequency with not enough power it will just suck power and get crap results.

Hi, well ... I now have the same problem (thanks Taserz for BMMINER-880-T9 + in passing;)) After analysis, in fact the firmware did not burn your cards, when changing the BMMINER, this one in the kernel log did: "pic error, need restore, restoring" In reality, the T9 + is composed of 3 channels of 18 asics per card, After analysis, the damaged card: -1 has a string of 18 unassigned asics -2 string asics not assigned -3 all the chains are lost not assign (the 3) You can check my arguments by fading through the fan, you see red led lights, a red led corresponds to a chain of 18 asics ... The problem now, now that we REALLY know the failure, we must successfully reprogram the "dsPIC33EP16GS202"! Interestingly, when changing BMMINER, it was reprogrammed automatically! Ps: Taserz, you will notice that I do not allow myself to insult you, in spite of a BMMINER who completely burned my minor ... I just hope that my message will not be suppressed like all the others! and maybe one day it will be able to discuss it amicably !!! ;) Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~Time to Max Out Your Bitmain PSU~ Post by: thierry4wd on September 12, 2018, 06:52:01 PM Sorry i edit my diag after most test !

Try to lower your frequency to keep the RT and Actual within 100 of each other. If you're on 8.9V go to 9v or 9.4v but remember it's more draw you can go higher if you have the amps!

I tried the 880 on a S9 14TH that worked with the fixed FW 650. Can you explain please what the differences are between 650 fixed FW and 880 and 870 FW? With 880 I dont see a big difference. But I used the mod on a machine that already did not show temps over 100° with fixed fw. So I am just cuious. Since I have a 1600W PSU, I dont want to overextent.

Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~ALL S9 MODELS INCLUDING S9i S9j~ Post by: Andartis on September 20, 2018, 08:51:59 PM So my observations so far with 13.0, 13.5 and 14TH S9 from different batches with AWP3+ PSU are, that using bmminer880 with 750 - 775 MHz freq. gives me 15.5-16.0 TH and draws about 1700W from the 1600W PSU. But it works stable.
Using bmminer870 with 750-775MHz gives me more HW errors and draws only about 50W less power. Temps are about 2°C lower. But the hashrate seems also a bit decreased. Maybe due to the HW errors. Thanks taserz for your work. Any way to also enable the hidden settings on the minerAdvanced page?

I am using your mod for 3 of my Antminers. First one is 13.5TH/s January batch, using 910v 825 freq and mining stable 17.6TH/s Second one is 13.5TH/s March batch, using 920v 825 freq and mining stable 17.5TH/s Third one is 14Th/s May batch, using 890v 825 freq and mining stable 17.6TH/s All of them are using 1600W Bitmain's supply(I am only not sure for third one if it is maybe 1800W but it probably isn't, nevermind that). My question is: why is PSU pulling 2kW from wall when it is rated only for 1600W, I mean, how is that even possible and will it hurt the PSU in any way?

I am running them at higher loads for over a month now. Check, if your cables are made for that loads! Dont burn your facility :D A rule of thumb is 80% of peak load can be constand load. So if your cables are rated 10A, i europe you could theoretically draw 1800W constantly without problems. You can draw more, but keep in mind to check your cables some times.

Only once has it powered down due to overdraw(I guess), It reached ~2150W when I tried 940v 850 freq, and it even worked fine whole night while it was colder and when the ambient and outside temperature raised, it powered down.

Strange thing i notice today: I have bought a bunch of used S9's for a good price, and some are as good as new, but first models. (older hashboards also; 4.0) Now, i have 3 of my own miners running on the 880 FW and 793Mhz, stock psu, making 16-16.5Th each. So, it was quite a safe bet to do the same with these other miners; flash the 880, throw 793 at them, and go. After not even 5 minutes, they quit on me; psu overloaded. (never had this with my own...). Also, the first i flashed, gave me one board with 5.5TH, one with 4,19, and another with 4.3. Seems to me that 2 boards cant handle it. Now i wondered: is this the 3 hour break-in period, or should i start swapping boards amongst miners in order to have the best selected and oc'd? Can you give me your thoughts about this? Thanks!

I've set the frequency to 800 MHz and using the 8.8v file, most of the time I see 16.6 TH/s, but sometimes I see a random value, is this nothing to worry about? https://image.ibb.co/hCHYsU/s9.png (https://image.ibb.co/hCHYsU/s9.png) A few F5 refreshes clears the problem I have another PSU on an E3 (860W), can I take the remaining 3 PCIe cable and connect it to one of the S9s hashboards and possibly use a total of 2340 watts on the S9 assuming the PCIe cables can handle 266W (22A). What would be the max TH/s I'll be able to get? I do have some 1800W PSUs onsite so I could try that on the S9 at the weekend.

Right now I am trying to find the sweet spots for the miners. I tuned the S9s individually and I am using bmminer 880 and 890, depending on chip quality. The 14.0 TH models run at 787,5 - 800 Mhz and draw between 1800 and 1830W. I managed to draw up to 1930W from an AWP3++ PSU, but thats too near at the safety shutdown point. The range for safety shutdown seems to be between 1870 and 1950W at least for my AWP3++. Question: Would you prefer nealry 0 HW errors and lose about 0.2 TH or go with the HW errors? I try keeping the HW errors very low because I assume it affects the hashrate more than the extra 0.1-0.2 TH. What do you say?

Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~ALL S9 MODELS INCLUDING S9i S9j~ Post by: Hockeybum on October 22, 2018, 07:07:51 PM On a stock S9 I can confirm that the LPM firmware either modifies or replaces the bmminer file, I would assume it would replace a modified bmminer as well. The LPM bitmain bmminer does not work with slushpool.
I added Taserz bmminer after the update to LPM and it does work with slushpool. This modified bmminer seems to run faster with LPM checked, maybe someone else can confirm this, I don't have time to check on multiple machines at this time. bmminer880 650 freq 13.950 th/s.

I noticed that bmminer is replaced with the LPM firmware. My assumption is that changes are made to bmminer that have to do with ASICBoost and Tazer will need to (if he so humbly chooses to) update his Voltage changing bmminer's to be modified off the new file. It sure would be nice to take advantage of the 13% power savings and use that 13% to overclock the miners. I have all 1600W PSUs, so to be able to get something like 15TH when i was getting 13.5, for the same wattage would be a dream. My machines are collocated otherwise I'd try all this myself. I'm a part owner in the collocation company but we're out in Idaho and i live in CT, so it's not exactly easy to get a power read-out from my machines to see if ASICBoost is doing its job AND the voltage/frequency changes take effect. Any information anyone has would be GREATLY appreciated. Oh, and if you haven't heard, Slushpool took care of things. The new firmware works on their pool now. All we need now is some new bmminer's for the voltage tuning based on Shitmain's new Firmware and replace of bmminer. Thanks so much!

I had to go back to an older version of Bitmain firmware that I had downloaded a while back, then go back to Taserz. It seems that Bitmain is onto those of us that were overclocking :p

Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~ALL S9 MODELS INCLUDING S9i S9j~ Post by: selfblumpkin on October 23, 2018, 08:53:47 PM anyone do an "at-the-wall" number to see if this LPM whatnot is actually making any difference? I'm curious if the % claim they are making is accurate I haven't personally done it, but ASICBoost is nothing new. There's a few miners out there that have been using it for a while now, and Bitmain has been using it covertly ever since they ripped off the patent owner. There's covert ASICBoost, where you can't tell when someone's using it (which is what Bitmain did for a LONG time) and then there's overt ASICBoost which people can tell you're using. Bitmain claimed for a long time they didn't use it, but they're full of shit, as they usually are about most things they say as a company. But they're the kings of the market. They can get away with that shit. It's only pressure from other mining manufacturers, and the final nail in the coffin, Slushpool announcing that their Braiins OS for Antminer's will support overt ASICBoost out of the box, for free, that forced Bitmain's hand in releasing the firmware ahead of time so they look like the good guys. The claims are true though. You should be doing about 1250W at the wall. EDIT: I should say though, you do save ~10-13% in electricity but i've noticed about a 3-5% drop in hash rate as well. That's why i've been so keen to see if Tazer's modifications to bmminer can be replicated for ASICBoost. use that 13% power savings to get 14.5-15.5 TH out of the machine at the same ~1350-1400W (Hopefully) Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~ALL S9 MODELS INCLUDING S9i S9j~ Post by: DickyDck on October 23, 2018, 09:46:41 PM Thanks! I recently moved my miner off 2 separate PSUs (I at the time only had 120v plugs) over to a single APW++ and ran a dedicated 240volt line in my garage which acts as a heater for the pets :D I used to be able to monitor draw based off of watching my solar monitoring GUI, but since the 240v is running directly off the main panel, and not the solar panel I'm not sure what the draw is. I know when I was running the 2 PSUs, I was easily maxing 1600w -/+ 200 with fluctuations and getting 14.7-15.3 TH/s mining rate with taserz BMMINER. I applied the latest LPM and plugged in Tazers BMMINER and I'm at 687MHz averaging high 14.x rate on an late model S9 that had the advertised rate of 13 something. I'm ok with the very small drop in hashing if I am actually getting 10% power savings. time will tell!
Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~ALL S9 MODELS INCLUDING S9i S9j~ Post by: House Xylander on October 24, 2018, 02:13:37 AM I was getting 1460w avg at the wall on NoDevFee firmware with manual chain settings ranging 625-675m(Did not have the Rocket version by Taserz on hand to try)
After 20 minutes the wattage settled at 1268w and has been averaging that for last 16 hours and counting. I was hoping the Braiin OS would work on my S9 13.5T but I will have to wait for them to include it, hopefully soon.

Not trying to question you or "call you out", but you haven't measured the post LPM power usage at the wall? Please share what the source might be of the 1250 watts and the 3-5% drop in Hash rate claim. I am slowly converting S9's over to LPM and I've actually noticed a slight increase in "avg Hashrate" over 24 hours and above. I've not had the opportunity to measure power at the wall yet, but if what you say is true, "10-13% power savings and my stable to slightly higher, avg Hash Rate....over 100's of S9's, this is significant.

I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm legitimately asking if there is a benefit to this, cause if there is I might be interested. I ran it through the Auto-Tune first and found the range that most of the chips showed green on the manual screen. After that, it was just a few chips that would show "red" or "crimson" (if the voltage and Freq where to high for the chip I would drop it 25-50m). When all the chips showed green they would typically have a value of 63-78. Sometimes during a hash a few would turn yellow and then back to green. Just a hunch but I'm guessing that the red and crimson chip where the ones causing the most HW errors when setting it over 637m. That is why I listed the range 625-675m Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~ALL S9 MODELS INCLUDING S9i S9j~ Post by: Andartis on October 25, 2018, 12:56:37 AM Some say it is not significant tuning the chips individually. I dont think so and I would like to try it. As House Xylander said, there is an interface, that checks the chips and shows them all coloured from green, to yellow, to red. Then you can pitch up the frequency for all green chips or each one by yourself etc.
I think you can decrese the HW errors by letting the poor chips hash slower and the good ones faster. That should increse the effectivity. But unfortunately the only firmware I have found so far that supports this, has a dev fee included. So if someone has one without dev fee, that would be great. although now it would be interesting to get a firmware, that also supports asicboost.

Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~ALL S9 MODELS INCLUDING S9i S9j~ Post by: Hockeybum on October 25, 2018, 06:41:23 AM I have limited results as I only have access to a few machines while away from my data center. I was doing power measurements at the power supply tonight on 1 machine and only letting it hash for 10 minutes before taking readings. Machine is an April 2017 delivery Bitmain S9 13.5 Th/s, power supply is a Bitmain APW3+-12-1600-A3, also delivered during that time. Voltmeter and Ammeter are both Fluke. Again I want to stress that this is only 1 machine and very limited testing since I can't wait all day to take readings. This power supply is about 92.5% efficient at 100 amps according to this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5045057.0. Numbers are right around a 12.5% power savings and an overall efficiency improvement of 14.5%. I've only updated 3 machines so far and have have hundreds to go as well. Hoping to save about $2,500 in power costs per month with this firmware.

I don't care much where I get my enhanced efficiency, ie;"better profitability", whether it's from drawing less current or Higher Hash rate or both. Frankly, one could argue that dropping the draw at the wall will be less stressful on the units so will not only jump your profitability, but i would assume create more longevity and stable mining.

I am seeing many report that the official LPM that Bitmain has on the new firmware for AsicBoost saves a little bit of power but the hashrate slows down overtime resulting in a negative impact on mining performance. I don't think I will have a working version for a little while I have my machines hosted elsewhere so whatever work I get done is from others letting me try code on theirs and it's a slow processes and a shaky one since I don't want to brick a hashboard and have to have someone reload firmware.

This is properly awesome, so thanks for putting this out there. It's also gone some way to helping me understand the chip temp readings on my S9i. I've been playing with the Braiins OS firmware for AsicBoost support and getting really high temp readings, the same happens with your 880 bmminer. I looked through the logs I noticed a few differences: Stock firmware: Code: driver-btm-c5.c:8307:calibration_sensor_offset: Chain[J6] PIC temp offset: 62,0,0,0,0,0,35,28,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, Modded bmminer: Code: Chain[J6] PIC temp offset=62,0,0,0,0,0,35,28 Looks like it might be a special version of some sort that makes up for a lack of sensor? Is there anyway around this? Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~ALL S9 MODELS INCLUDING S9i S9j~ Post by: dutchlincoln on November 05, 2018, 09:24:14 PM Taz, are there already mods based on the 2Nov fw?
Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~ALL S9 MODELS INCLUDING S9i S9j~ Post by: Andartis on November 06, 2018, 06:33:24 AM Because it felt a bit messy after patching 3 times over the modded FW, I resetted my S9 and reflashed them (and resetted again) with stock autotune + recent LPM to check on LPM. Actually, I dont see any difference, although I mine on Nicehash asicboost and its also activated in firmware. You would expect like 10-20% power saving, right? So like instead of 1300-1400w, you would like to see like 1200w. Thats not the case. Or did anybody else have other results?

Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~ALL S9 MODELS INCLUDING S9i S9j~ Post by: thierry4wd on November 07, 2018, 12:24:34 PM In my opinion it's too early! the source code will not be released from as early as I pence ...
Nevertheless, "the code" between antminer S7 / S9 / T9 / T9 + are the same, finally in large part, there will be way of tunning a little anyway I pence! I would like so much to have one: P !!! Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~ALL S9 MODELS INCLUDING S9i S9j~ Post by: taserz on November 07, 2018, 03:37:01 PM I think the reason my firmware and braiins is heating up a bit more is because many of the newer releases from bitmain have not been made public so figuring out what they did to lower temps is difficult since the source code we have to work with is a few revisions old. I am trying to figure out the LPM but it is currently not being very friendly with me.
With the new S15 I might just try to work on that one if I can get my hands on 1 even though the tax is stupid high.

Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~ALL S9 MODELS INCLUDING S9i S9j~ Post by: mercuryin on November 08, 2018, 10:00:04 AM Hi Taser, one question please;
I have two antminers s9, ( 13.5 and 14.0 ) and 1600w bitmain psu. The temps I´m getting with stock firmware are of 75C. I have tried with every single bminer you have attached and different frequency options but the temps increase to 110C and the antminer turn off itself after a few minutes running. What I´m doing wrong ? Because I can see here many successful antminer users getting more hashing and keeping low temps, is because they are using any kind of refrigeration ? Thanks for your help ! Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~ALL S9 MODELS INCLUDING S9i S9j~ Post by: taserz on November 08, 2018, 04:00:25 PM Hi Taser, one question please; I have two antminers s9, ( 13.5 and 14.0 ) and 1600w bitmain psu. The temps I´m getting with stock firmware are of 75C. I have tried with every single bminer you have attached and different frequency options but the temps increase to 110C and the antminer turn off itself after a few minutes running. What I´m doing wrong ? Because I can see here many successful antminer users getting more hashing and keeping low temps, is because they are using any kind of refrigeration ? Thanks for your help ! Did you put the bitmain 650m fixed firmware on first? How high are you adjusting the frequency and what voltage. Used the 880 one on github there should be the slightest difference in temps with that one. Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~ALL S9 MODELS INCLUDING S9i S9j~ Post by: mercuryin on November 08, 2018, 05:04:35 PM Well, I have tried with all of them and changing frequencies but nothing improve, always same problem with high temps. Answering to your question, yes, I tried flashing 650 fixed frequency firm first and from there just swapping bmminer file for your file. For example, I have tried with bmminer 880 and frecuency 650 onwards, like 656, 662, etc till 762. With all of them I get same problem. Thanks for your help !

Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~ALL S9 MODELS INCLUDING S9i S9j~ Post by: jtw1984 on November 16, 2018, 05:11:05 PM I think the reason my firmware and braiins is heating up a bit more is because many of the newer releases from bitmain have not been made public so figuring out what they did to lower temps is difficult since the source code we have to work with is a few revisions old. I am trying to figure out the LPM but it is currently not being very friendly with me. With the new S15 I might just try to work on that one if I can get my hands on 1 even though the tax is stupid high. Came here to ask a similar question to this. I'm showing Bitmain's last update being May 5, 2017. How long do you believe it will take for them to release this new update?

I agree, when too cold mine tend to be moody too, which makes no sense to me since heat is the enemy or so I thought. I think I could potentially get better results if I had the beefier PSU, I am running the 1600w one from bitmain on a dedicated 30amp 240v circuit, so I have plenty of power from the wall, but I think the PSU might be my limiting factor.

Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~Time to Max Out Your Bitmain PSU~ Post by: Bill48105 on December 12, 2018, 12:22:27 AM [...] Code: set_Voltage_S9_plus_plus_BM1387_54 failed on Chain[1]! i restore original t9+ firmware but what realy happened to my miner what you think? i try to revert back to original firmware but fails Anyone ever get their T9+ with this issue fixed? I've been searching without any luck.. My T9+ was working fine on the latest official firmware from bitmain's site but I made the mistake of downloading the source code which I saw was a year old but figured not a big deal since it specifically supports T9+. I set miner type for T9+ like build instructions say (it defines T9_18 in the header file), CHANGED NOTHING ELSE, built it, uploaded to my T9+, killed the running stock bmminer, & ran my built copy & bam now I got these same "failed on chain" errors. I never installed the Dollemizer or taserz firmwares btw. I had happened to be running the new build in screen session so I could watch what was happening & it was flipping out with those failed on Chain errors then "chain[1] PIC need restore ..." 3x each for each chain in succession but bitmain's dead miner detection kept kicking in mind reflash of the PIC's causing reboots so the process would start all over again. The problem boards seem to show "Check chain[2] PIC fw version=0xff" vs the working boards seem to show "Check chain[3] PIC fw version=0x90" (ff vs 90). Logs show other things like Code: T9+ try get asic num for the 2 time Chain Pretty sure that's not a good sign.. lol Btw I have them underclocked at 200mhz in conf file. In between reboots (and hoping the newer factory original bmminer would repair the boards), I renamed the factory bmminer back & upon the next auto reboot the new one ran up but unfortunately as others have found some of my chains are dead/missing still. Only chains 4 13 & 14 are working so my hash rate is awful. Whopping 1213 GH/s at 200mhz lol So far I've tried factory reset & flashing the older autotune T9+ stock from bitmain with no luck fixing it. I ended up modding the source code I had downloaded to skip the PIC writes to see if the build at least worked & it does! Other than Temp(Chip 1) which is normally just - (dash), now shows a negative value like -23 etc which is odd.. Temp(Chip2) shows what appears to be about right for temp. Since I defined T9_18 per the docs it's as if some parts of the code are ignoring that & building for the wrong model or something.. That would explain the PIC errors & corruption as well if that were the case. Unfortunately I can't find newer release of the source code to try building that and I can't find the older pre-autotune firmwares to try either so I'm kinda stuck. I found this thread with multiple people with this error & hoped to find a definitive fix before I tried anything else. I read thru all the posts & didn't see any solutions so any insight on fixing this issue is appreciated.

Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~Time to Max Out Your Bitmain PSU~ Post by: Bill48105 on December 13, 2018, 12:26:47 AM I am going to take a look at this today. I wrote / modified a program to help restore the pic firmware on an L3+ ( https://github.com/darval/bitmain-tools ) and I am going to see if I can modify it to work for a T9+. The pic is a microcontroller on each hash board. Usually when it (bmminer) tries to get the version and it fails (-1 or 0xff), it means the pic firmware got trashed. My program has a mode to try to restore it. It currently doesn't work on the T9+, so don't try it yet, but if I am successful, I will update it and post about it here. Then you can try it out. Like anything, this stuff is all use at your own risk. :) Hi darval, did you ever get something working with your tool & the T9+? few posts back you can see link to where thierry4wd posted a how-to with PICKIT 3 & MPLAB X IPE along with a HEX dump from working card using that tool so hoped to be able to flash my broken card with software.. Save me ordering & waiting for a pickit. I'm tempted to convert his hex file to the format of the txt file but I wasn't sure if the format of the text file caused the corruption to begin with. (I doubt the antminer monitoring script auto-rebooting mid flash helped.. x( I mean single-board-test & bmminer obviously can flash the boards to store settings & messed up the boards so would think it should be possible to flash them back correctly. I've monkeyed around with the source of both of those & get the basic idea of what's going on (I disabled the auto-flashing in both so I could get my miner up & running on chains 4 13 & 14 at least. The latest official firmware just auto-reboots over & over when it has heartbeat failures so made my T9+ worthless.) So maybe I'll order a PICKIT 3 and while I wait try hacking away at the source to see if I can get anywhere in the meantime but hoped someone had a working software-only solution already :) Thanks Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~Time to Max Out Your Bitmain PSU~ Post by: taserz on December 13, 2018, 08:50:27 PM Hi darval, did you ever get something working with your tool & the T9+? few posts back you can see link to where thierry4wd posted a how-to with PICKIT 3 & MPLAB X IPE along with a HEX dump from working card using that tool so hoped to be able to flash my broken card with software..

Ok thanks. It'd be cool to get a hex file made that could be used to reflash cards that have this happenbut I ordered a pickit3 since bitmain support was hung up on warranty status of my unit rather than understanding what happened or providing much help but we'll see. Supposedly my issue was being escalated although not holding my breath. lol It seems the new "low power" T9+ firmware is built to auto-reboot if it doesn't find heartbeat of all 3 cards though which is very annoying when trying to test single boards.. I ended up tweaking the old available source a bit & running that with 1 working card for now. It boots up & mines WAYYY faster than the official version even when the cards were working. I do need to measure power usage at wall to see how much I'm losing out on vs the new low power version but that one won't run without all 3 working cards installed so can't test that until/unless I get my other 2 cards repaired.

This thread is a bit too obscure to ask about the S17 firmware don't you think? Meh it has served its purpose a few times over. I am trying to buy an s17 but I think I might just jump on the s17e and just go for the decompile route. But I got a good number of m20s coming and I think I should just tinker with them instead.

Hi taserz, regarding S9 fw, do you know if there is any open source fw that allows setting freq per each chip? Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~ALL S9 MODELS INCLUDING S9i S9j~ Post by: taserz on November 08, 2019, 07:42:29 AM freq per each chip would require a massive overhaul of the bitmain code. Not that I am aware of. I know there is one that floats around with a dev fee that supposedly is per chip but it's actually per board and it's all just a fake ui stating it is changing chips individually. Pretty sure you cant per chip anyways.

Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~ALL S9 MODELS INCLUDING S9i S9j~ Post by: taserz on November 10, 2019, 10:49:32 AM Pretty sure it is bullshit. But I really haven't looked to much into if it is possible. But I looked into the ui of it and it was questionable to say the least.
You guys should expect an update soon as it took all of a few minutes to figure out how to get it below 870mv and most of the few minutes was booting and signing into my vm. So if all goes as planned I will release a full flashable firmware that will allow undervolting. Aside from the undervolting it already is capable of doing everything listed or a few lines of python is needed for deployment. I almost feel like adding a .69% fee as a troll tribute to them but nah ain't about that life. Plus a local Stratum Proxy and a network redirect is all that is needed to remove their dev fee. *edited some stuff to keep people happy Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~ALL S9 MODELS INCLUDING S9i S9j~ Post by: taserz on November 16, 2019, 08:27:24 PM Little update
Might be saying fuck it to the S9 firmware. Currently, have a S17 firmware up and running getting over 82th/s stable without blowing it's efficiency out the window. Got solid 6-10th gains on T17's as well. S17 can go further then what I set but no point hurting our new devices. Due to the nature of how this would have to work, I might just throw together a tool that will allow the firmware to be pushed out onto machines in the command line to be a quicker deployment. Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~ALL S9 MODELS INCLUDING S9i S9j~ Post by: AniceInovation on November 18, 2019, 12:06:39 AM Can you share details like efficiency or power consumption?

Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~ALL S9 MODELS INCLUDING S9i S9j~ Post by: taserz on November 18, 2019, 12:38:11 AM Can you share details like efficiency or power consumption? S17 vanilla or other versions? So far only been working on overclocking. The efficiency, of course, is worse when pushing it further but tests showed it is viable to overclock with common mining farm rates. T17 to over 52th/s S17 stable 73-75/th lots to work on still. Was developing a tool to easy ssh and flash non signed firmware for mass deployment but ironing out the firmware is more important. Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~ALL S9 MODELS INCLUDING S9i S9j~ Post by: philipma1957 on November 18, 2019, 01:22:30 AM I would love to test it out. I ordered a spare s17 controller for testing.

I know there is one that floats around with a dev fee that supposedly is per chip but it's actually per board and it's all just a fake ui stating it is changing chips individually. Pretty sure you cant per chip anyways. I am running the BixBit firmware (with Dev Fee.......) 0n my T9+. A few things I would change but generally a very solid bit of code. Am pretty certain that the per chip Frequency setting, at least in the BixBit code, works as the effect on Hash Rate & Efficiency track very well. Have ditched using the Autotune and have spent some Hours doing all the changes manually. The T9+ is now running at a steady 10.3TH consuming 930W at the wall, which is a none too shabby 0.09 J/GH :-) Rich Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! NEW UPDATE 11/21/2019 Post by: taserz on November 22, 2019, 12:45:38 AM Sometimes it's best to pass along other firmware modifications that have been developed longer than the time I have spent on this project.
Here is a flashable firmware with some pretty solid specs that beats all the current competition. I have partnered up with another brand to help release their firmware for the US markets. That is until the team I am working with finishes the project we are working on but that is hush for now :) There is a dev fee on this firmware but it is less than what you will find on asicseer and the competitors. Here are the results 475 - 8.0 - 10 TH/s - 750 watt 550 - 8.2 - 11,6 ths - 950 watt (78 waтт / THs) 631 - 8.3 - 13,5 ths - 1100 watt (81 waтт / THs) 700 - 8.6 - 14,9 ths - 1300 watt (85 waтт / THs) 750 - 8.7 - 16.1 ths - 1450 watt (90 waтт / THs) As you can see this allows current S9's to still be profitable at the current difficulty for those with 7 cent power and cheaper. To upgrade just flash this firmware through the console. This has Asic Boost, LPM, Auto Tune. It has triggers to restart if hashrates fall if more then 5 xxx on the chain. Min Frequency is 400mhz. I suggest setting Frequency for auto tune and clicking save. Then for the next 30minutes to 1 hour expect the machine to reboot as it tunes. https://github.com/taserz/S9-Volt-Rocket-Ship/raw/master/Antminer-S9-xilinx3.8.6-taser.tar.gz I am running the BixBit firmware (with Dev Fee.......) 0n my T9+.

The T9+ is now running at a steady 10.3TH consuming 930W at the wall, which is a none too shabby 0.09 J/GH :-) Rich Yes as is the firmware I link in my main post Auto Tune is great. But you can always just hard set the values and be done. Title: Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod!

Instead of pretending you're allowed to violate my cgminer license, tell everyone you are lying to, what is written in the license Quote To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work. Quote To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. ... and yes as the world knows, and I have never claimed otherwise (though you lie about that also) No I did not write all of cgminer.
