Is there also a possibility with the new firmware to ingore faulty chips or chips that are missing during startup from the miner? I have a problem with my S17 Pro that it is only detecting 44 chips instead of 48 chips on chain 1 and because of that the firmware disables the complete chain. I don't know what went wrong in the past because from the beginning when the 0.9.6 beta firmware came out i started testing with it and also all the new beta versions i tested but i noticed that the problem started after i started using the first firmware with autotune available and first the last 4 chips where X on chain 1 and when i did a reboot, the complete chain 2 gave a lot of errors

I restored the Original bitmain firmware but still missing 4 chips on chain 1 so i contacted bitmain support with the logs and they provided me a recovery firmware for the controlboard, for some reason after using this firmware everything worked again with all 48 chips. I thought that maybe the problem was was indeed the controlboard software so then i reflashed your latest 0.9.9 firmware back again but guess what;,... the problem with the missing 4 chips was back again.
I used the recovery sdcard image from bitmain again but now the problem looks like permanent that it only detects 44 chips on chain 1. Therefor i am using your 0.9.6 beta firmware because with this firmware it keeps running @65Ths with 4 missing chips.
I noticed that all of your firmwares after 0.9.6beta are disabling the complete chain after it finds some missing chips during startup and firmware 0.9.6beta only gives me a warning that it only find 44 chips after 3 attempts of scanning.
Could you please have a look at it is possible to ignore the missing chips in the new firmware just like 0.9.6 or something.
I will try to upload the kernel log from running with your latest 1.0.0 firmware or i can pm it to you?
