Not sure what you mean by the 'boost circuit'
Asicboost is a modification of the internal ASIC hashing function to produce more nonces.
Thus it's simply part of the internals of the BM1397 i.e. a change in the silicon design of the BM1397 vs pre S9 chips.
Hi Kano, This chip is located below the "boost circuit" zone according to the manual (image beow). I'm now leaning towards some type of linear regualtor but still guessing at this point. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vZ-mMlRZMI8XntUU3hC0SJa4MF-a6OjP/view?usp=sharing |

Update
Last night s17+ turned off. Only hashing on 2 chains instead of 3 now. Emailed Core to see if I need to send it back or what to do. Will report back. I can get 50 tH out of it for the time being. Sounds like this is a common issues with the s17 series. Super frustrating. It would be great to know how this is handled. 'After the repair' policy is something that is muddy at best, if at all. |

I had a S17+ repaired by Core Scientific
I recommend them. Works great. Needed 7 new chips installed. Great experience and very professional.
I had the opposite experience with Core Scientific. S17pro went in limping and came out of their facility much worse. Add insult to injury, it took over two months, when it was returned a heat sink was loose inside the box, and under a stereo microscope, one side of the PIC chip wasn't even touching it's pads after I assume they reflowed (had to resolder this myself and still doesn't work). The first diagnosis was all temp sensors were bad at a quote for $400 to a PIC, Boost circuit, some temp. sensors were bad on two boards - that were then deemed "unrepairable", $129. From my experience, there is one point of contact there - he is knowledgeable and professional when you are able to talk to him. As of Nov. 2020 they had 6 techs. there.

A closing update: Thierry tried everything and we concluded it was a hardware issue after hours of work in diagnosis. Thank you Thierry for the efforts, merit given. The test output is below for the record if anyone else runs into this. The board will be sold for parts or will be at the bottom of the local river. --- version:

Following up with thierry on discord. Will post if we find a solution. The latest is I checked with a MM (drew the layout and recorded the numbers) all capacitors surrounding the PIC chip with a good board and the numbers check out.

An update: So I replaced the PIC chip again, programmed it with the good board's hex (programmed successful and verified). Then used the latest Bitmain firmware to boot the miner. For some sick and twisted reason, it's back to PIC fw version = 0xff. Besides throwing it off the highest building in the city, is there anything I can do next? Could it be something with the EEPROM? I went ahead and tested the 3rd board and it also shows PIC fw version=0xb9 (hexcompare also shows they are the same). So two boards show 0xb9 but this one board keeps posting 0xff. At a total loss here and I'm all ears if you might be able to think of another approach.  |

If the PIC file that you flash is from modified firmware I heard that you will get an error and the firmware version will turn to "PIC fw version=0xff" and also you will get that issue if you didn't set the voltage properly.
So possible that the PIC chip is bricked. Do you have an extra PIC chip? Use the extra PIC chip and don't use hot air to solder it use a soldering iron and check if it is in the right position and then repeat the procedure from thierry4wd's post but this time make sure it was from the original stock firmware don't use non-stock firmware this might be the reason why you get the "PIC fw version=0xff".
Also, take note if you misconfigure the memory settings it will erase the other program from the chip that may lead to bricked chip.
Thanks Bit, I think I can go back and Erase the chip, Blank Check, and Verify inside of MPLAB IPE instead of replacing the chip? I used soldering iron on this one and have two more spares. I'm really hoping not to have to replace it again. Those memory settings were from programing the new PIC chip with the good PIC chip from the other good board. What I do is hook up the good board, Press the Read button, then go File>Export>Hex. I also compared hex file sizes with the T9 I think it's 62.2kb and my exported one is 63kb. So that seems to make sense. |

Thanks for this direction, there is def a glitch in my process somewhere. I threw the good board in and got exactly what you described. 2021-08-08 01:41:47 board.c:36:jump_and_app_check_restore_pic: chain[1] PIC jump to app
2021-08-08 01:41:49 board.c:40:jump_and_app_check_restore_pic: Check chain[1] PIC fw version=0xb9
2021-08-08 01:41:49 thread.c:778:create_pic_heart_beat_thread: create thread Attached are images to my last attempt to transfer the hex in MPLAB and an image of the memory settings because I get that error "MPLAB's memory is blank so no programming operation was attempted" if I don't use "manual" in the drop down. I'm not sure if this issue is connected in some way and in addition, I'm not sure you can check firmware version after programming in MPLAB IPE v5.50? https://drive.google.com/file/d/17fim5jZ3uOYlWNrmfMHy8P7I9Jj3XKvB/view?usp=sharinghttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1S542Y1p1xquG3lYRuWTmwRbKHQABMvJt/view?usp=sharingTo be sure it couldn't be anything else, I triple-checked all solder pads at and around the PIC location and checked all capacitors with a MM. Things seem to check out on that front. This is humbling but I'm grateful for the help. |

Installed Bitmain's original firmware Bitmain_Antminer-S17Pro-user-OM-201908201037-sig. I've included the whole log and what sticks out is Chain[2] PIC init failed! set_miner_status: ERROR_SOC_INITstop mining: soc init failed!So replaced PIC chip with new, flashed a good hex onto it. I'm not sure what to look for next and appreciate any direction on next moves. Thank you. Edit: I am running with just this board connected.

An update: See below after hooking the board up again to MPLAB after trying to boot the miner with the non-stock firmware, I haven't confirmed it will work with stock yet but it seems to revert to errors as thierry4wd has pointed out. Next is to erase this and put the good hex on from the other good board and boot with stock firmware. The following memory area(s) will be verified:
program memory: start address = 0x0, end address = 0x2b7f
configuration memory
[ Pgm ] at 0x0, expected 0x00040200, got 0x00ffffff.
You have set the program speed to Normal. The circuit on your board may require you to slow the speed down. Please change the setting in the tool properties to low and try the operation again.

Hello all, I put a new PIC chip on an S17pro board following thierry4wd's informative guide here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5032987.0 and some PIC errors. The hope was to resolve these issues. MPLAB process went well and hopefully, I can put up a quick guide for S17's because there are some nuances. Although I did get "MPLAB's memory is blank so no programming operation was attempted" and had to switch to manual in the memory settings to Program Memory Range(s)(hex) to 0-2b7f (not sure if this is correct for the dsPIC33EP16) to successfully program from "Let PIC Kit Choose". In the Memory settings tab: Configuration Memory was checked and Program Memory was also checked. Preserve Program Memory was Unchecked and Preserve Program Memory Range(s)(hex) was left blank. So I'm uncertain if that has something to do with the errors below in the kernel log. Another possibility is thierry said to use only the stock firmware, after MPLAB flash and when booting with the hashboard in question. - I didn't do that because I was using a third party firmware and thought the hex on the good board and transferring it to the new PIC board would be OK since they are all running the firmware. Maybe understanding is off and that the hex information has nothing to do with what firmware you are running (not sure). Can anyone take a look at my steps and the log errors and suggest where this might have gone wrong and a possible solution? Appreciate it! [2021/08/07 01:09:03] INFO: Detected 256 Mb of RAM

S17's and such have a nice little extra feature: They have that copper top that has solder on it, remember?
Then take out the board and put the heat sink on. Remember, no pre-heat, put a bit of flux on the center of the heat sink, line up the sink perfectly (the flux will hold it in place) then low flow heat from the air tool to secure the heat sink again.
I'm a bit confused by this. If you put on a new chip and clean the solder off from the bottom of the removed heat sink. You don't need solder paste and just throw the heat sink on with a little tacky flux because that copper on top of the new chip has solder in it?

I see where to plug the male pins into the board. There are 5 circular holes and 1 square hole near the circular capacitors on the S17. The link to the cables is super helpful. Thank you. |

Thanks thierry, Your post was actually the first post I looked at before posting my question here. There looks to be a six PIN cable that plugs into the bottom of the PIC KIT module - then into the board. I couldn't find a mention of it in your thread. Maybe I am overlooking how to connect the PIC Kit to the S17?

Hi guys, I am circling back on fixing a board with a bad PIC chip. I will be replacing the chip but have no idea what cable will hook into the PIC kit module and the hash boards to be able to extract from one of my good boards then copy that onto this new chip I'll be putting on. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank You!

I can order the 33ohm 0201s in low quantities ok. On the caps, Digi is 10,000 minimum and Mouser is out of stock - is there another reliable source I may be overlooking? Might try the shield, in addition to laying some 3M thermal protective tape down next time. Some make it look so easy.

These are on the imperceptible scale until you put them under the scope. I had a heat shield surrounding the chip to protect against just this and bumped it - this is the result. I circled the ones missing in red and seem to match the ones you have circled. To confirm, these are 33ohms? I see there is a mix of 16v and 6.3v and .1uf and 1uf I am having referencing your image these are arranged differently than mine. I'm guessing the C86 and C84 are 1uf 6.3v each. Always, fantastic again helping narrow this down. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dTTemJ5p_tO1IKapT-JEEDsAXIpJRPOm/view?usp=sharing |
