Title: Recovering Bricked Dragonmint T1 Boards via JTAG?
Post by: MasterBlaster604 on January 05, 2021, 05:13:29 PM
Hey Everyone, I'm new to the site.

I'm fairly stumped on a problem that I caused at my site lol. I had some dragonmint T1 miners running that I had loaded braiins-os that caused lots of issues and with discussions with braiins-os I got a script to remove&reinstall the factory firmware from Halong, except it bricked my miners lol. I can't find the units via IP scan but I can find them in the DHCP tables. I've attempted to log in via SSH and it times out and I've also tried via Web which does the same. These are the first batch of T1's without the SD Card Slot as well. I'm getting my options are either replacing the control boards which id rather not do as these are EOL miners and I would like to run them for just a little longer without spending real $$.

Does anyone know how to flash or JTAG a bricked board? I do have a couple of control boards that still function with both the factory firmware and the braiins-os.

Check the Braiins thread in the Bitcoin Mining Software area (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5036844.0) Pretty sure this has been answered there.
Also search the Hardware area (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=76.0) for "Halong T1" or "Dragonmint"
Considering the 'mints were made for Halong by Innosilicon you may want to look at threads about that as well as it seems Inno's share much the same design & code.
