Hi, sorry to hear that you are having issues, the first firmware deployer is for S9 and T9+, the last update was posted for the user which wanted
to try a different firmware.. Perhaps I should start a new thread to avoid this kind of missunderstandings

Hi, yes, please send me the firmware which was working for you and will send you a patching file containing that firmware.

Hi, there have been some issues with newer miners than the source code available on github. I am working now on a version which is going to be compatible with any miner version, including the latest so called "asic boost" low power firmware which is
just released. From what I understand it might be no time soon source code available, so I have found a workaround on setting frequency, voltage and will try disabling fans as well.

I am still trying to figure if there's any asic boost at all in the latest firmware or if it's better power management combined with different algorithm of communication with the pool.. Anways, will keep you updated.

Unfortunately I will be charging for the next firmware update because of the complexity of the task.

Yes, it's tricky business, but it can be done.

I understand what you are saying, trouble is that the template needs to be very fine to do that as the chips have only 1mm thickness.. and you won't be getting them through the template to sand. But I got your point.

I am from Romania, a bit East from Brooklyn .

Thank you for the merits!

Thanks also for the suggestion on the youtube video. What I was thinking is to make such a template on my cnc machine to hold the board perfectly straight then program the CNC to go over each IC and make it perfectly
smooth. This will require a few days to get it right, but will allow saving a lot of time and make perfect job in the end. Maybe will do in the future and make a video of the process as well.

Hey guys,

I recorded a video of my process of installing the waterblocks on the Antminer S9 board.

Check it out and let me know your opinion, if you have questions post them on this thread.

Good luck!

Cool, glad it helped.

That's you in the tutorial Tim?, because you must be my twin brother then, you look and speek a lot like me.

Edit:
I actually saw you credited me at the begining of the post. , nevermind, you're not my twin brother.

I think the problem is windows 7 not having some libraries to load this. This script is made with python and compiled, it contains all the libraries needed to run ssh commands and python it's self, which is about 7-8 MB,
that's how python gets compiled to run as an .exe .

We plan making this in a different language in case we decide to make this in the end a project to focus on, it will be smaller in size when done in c# or c++.

You can also try running this as Administrator, see if it's doing any difference. Will install a VM in the following days to test on other windows versions, as I am working with win10 and it's where it's compiled on.

I would suggest trying in a more friendly path location, without xxx spaces and others. And run the .bat file after setting the config file.
You can place it in D:/bmminer-deploy or something like this, see if you still get an error.

Which windows you run it ? I work with windows 10.

In my newer version I added a set_miner_conf.cgi to setup the extra veriables I added to turn off or on voltage setting, that must be added otherwise it will not write properly the config file.

There are some files which you did not copy/set. I am not going over the entire logic of the tool, as the purpose is not to teach others to program or how to make their own tools for this.

This bmminer file is made to include new interface variables. If you want your own bmminer, stripped of the interface stuff, you can use the video to build a bmminer and set things inside bmminer
then build every time you want to change a value.

Hope it makes sense. Spend a little more time with this if you want to do it your own way then in 1-2 days can post your solution, we are crowding this topic already.

Do a search on youtube for my video where I show to build the bmminer and how to install it, I am not sure if I am allowed to post
youtube links on this forum, but you should be able to find it easy enough. The tool was made for mass deploy, so for 1 machine I guess is not
really needed if you know what you are doing. It's helpful to learn anyway what needs to be done. I guess you renamed bmminer_t9+ to bmminer .

Also, you can try with one board if you are unsure of your results, maybe you have a different T9+ miner, who knows.

not sure what to say, I did that tool to avoid doing this kind of support because there are some steps which must be followed when copying these files, permissions set etc.

Someone on my discord channel got it overclocked to 13.7 using same files, also had issues before using the deploy tool.

The guy on discord used 750 frequency, but temp was 100 deg, a bit to much I would say. Let me know if you manage to do it, I am sure you would find a way eventually if you don't
want to use my tool.

Hi,

It seems that you did not read nor the post nor the read me file. You deployed with the config left for S9.

I plan to add a check for the miner version and choose bmminer automatically, but I will implement that when I have some free time.

For now you open config.txt and for minerversion type T9+

---

Hi, no, you can change voltage and freq independently, you just need to be more careful with the readme files delivered with this kind of scripts.

Good luck!

Hi, You are welcome! let me know if you find any problems while using it.

Hi, I am still running stability tests of the bmminer, I don't think running at 14 TH/s will be ok for T9+ with regular cooling, so far I run it for 2 days on 12.3 TH/s with a freq of 675 . With 675 MHz it stays at 83 Chip temp, which is resonable.

I did not do any consuming tests, as this is not usually my thing to do, the clients tune their machine by their environment, hashing rate required, wattage etc.

I will post an upgrade soon which will include T9+ firmware and a config to switch between which miner you want to deploy.

Hi,

It's just one minerConfiguration.cgi in the package because there are 2 files the same, but with different name. I replace both files on the miner.

For T9+, I tested and foltage setting works fine. I set it to 675 mhz and 920 mv for now to see how it holds. I think 930 or 940 is the hardware limit set on the pic as well as on the s9.

Will post an update to this thread when it's live.
