Ive got loads of cubes to try this on, Ive only tried it one time for a cube that had .8V (IDLE) on dies #0 and dies #1. I am confused on something. KNCminer tell me that the dies are located under the main processor in the center of the board. Im quite sure its the vrms that are overheating. I see they use ericson vrms. My question is:  Is it the dies under the 8 square boards that go around the processor that has the ericson vrm on top,or are the dies located under the vrms. The 8 that go around the main processor on the board. Let me try my fix a few more times before I call it real fix.

Vegas

Keep in mind I dont have a physical titan so Im just guessing here, but based on my experience w/ everything else in PC land....
The heatsink / fan will be directly attached to the dies. VRM's usually are passively cooled.

Got a picture of the PCB? Ill tell ya.

Well I got a fake 350mhz working HAHAHA!
Its much more complex then simply modifying waas code =(, thats what I attempted and it just gives the appearance of 350mhz =/

So unless someone has clear documentation of modding it to 350mhz ... I aint willing to risk damaging my cubes.

These was first method for overcloked Jupiter

After that method


Padrino

Make the best version for Jupiter so he know the way



https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=313978.1020

There is absolutely no hint of how to do this on a titan  in that thread.
664  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Hacking The KNC Firmware: Overclocking on: August 05, 2015, 06:02:47 PM
Sadly, I cant find that script anywhere on titan, so...
Im not about to mess w/ SPI commands directly w/o knowing exactly what Im doing, dont wanna damage my hardware =(
So, 350mhz may be outta the question unless someone knows what to modify ...
665  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Hacking The KNC Firmware: Overclocking on: August 05, 2015, 04:43:36 PM
Hey all, sorry to bring this thread back from the dead but, question ... whats needed to impliment overclocked settings of the source code?
I see max frequency limits specified in waas code on github, is it really just that easy to change the field or is it more complex then that?
I couldnt easily search / find the info in this thread and wasnt sure if it evolved beyond the initial findings in first few pages.
Thanks

Ive not uploaded any changes yet guys, just documenting my progress =)
667  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: August 05, 2015, 02:43:48 PM
UPDATE: can confirm my code fix now works, It properly detects when dies are turned off manually vs when dies are in questionable state and then proceeds to test them & power cycle if needed =) woohoo
Also, Ive updated bfgminer to newest version, testing how well it works w/ titan. Its based on bfgminer stock. Seems working fine so far. Will publish update soon.

I guess next will be to see if I can unlock 350mhz but use EXTREME CAUTION!!!!!.... the single 6pin PCIE CONNECTOR is already at its max physical POWER rating. Many things may melt down when using 350mhz
668  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: August 05, 2015, 02:38:05 PM
All these physical dead dies you guys mentions, I cant help but wonder if really bad shipping stresses(throwing boxes around etc...) caused the massive heatsinks to put insane pressure at times on the dies causing them physical damage.
669  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: August 05, 2015, 04:59:44 AM
Alright Ive modified the code, think I got it working properly w/ dies that are flagged OFF now.
Ive confirmed it successfull detects dies that are manually turned off and shows it in the logs, therefore it skips the die detection test on that die.
The question is will it work when a die actually drops off still...gotta wait for that  to happen, but if my code is written properly(which I think it is) it should work as expected =)
670  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: August 05, 2015, 01:09:02 AM
I realize I could SSH to it, but the thing is the SD card with the log file is sitting on my desk, not in the Titan.  Tongue Anyways, doesn't matter since you replicated the issue.

What I was really after was the stats in any event, since with the 3 dies disabled the Titan is stable for weeks at a time.



Question for ya, are those dies permanently damaged or do they just stop randomly working while mining?

I found the issue w/ the script, it seems when dies are manually disabled the script erronously detects that as the dies also have being failed and trying to restart them(the old way before my script) haha
So, Ill have to come up w/ a way to detect them manually being off or not.
671  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: August 05, 2015, 12:56:07 AM
Nevermind, I confirmed the behaviour on my titan as well when manually disabling dies. Grrr, I will have to rewrite the fix somehow lol. Ill keep ya posted.
672  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: August 05, 2015, 12:53:26 AM
Thanks for your efforts so far, GenTarkin.

In my case on a Titan with 3 dead dies, the firmware was unusable as it would continually restart BFGminer even though the offending dies were set to "OFF" in the advanced page and all other working dies were hashing.

Are you sure your changes are rebooting individual cubes and not the whole shebang? From what I understood observing through SSH, what was happening was a restart of BFGminer and all 4 cubes if there was not 4 working dies per cube.
Any chance you can copy n paste /var/log/monitordcdc.log ? post it here?
Thanks

Thats one thing I didnt test was dies which were manually turned off, not sure how my code would react in that case. Ill have to possibly look into it further. My titan has no manually disabled dies.

Is there any way for me to read it off of the SD card from my PC? Or would I have to go and swap it back into my Titan? If I have to swap it, try manually disabling a die on your Titan first. You should see the same behavior, but if you don't I'll go swap the cards and get you the log.
You can SSH into the miner and do this at command line: cat /var/log/monitordcdc.log
Highly the text it spits out, switch window to notepad and paste.

Any better performance with these firmware?

Please go back through like the last couple pages of this topic and read everything Ive mentioned.
Again, all this firmware does is bring "dropping dies" "sleeping dies" "braindead dies" ... or whatever you wanna call it.... back to life by automatically power cycling the cube that has the dropped die.
I also added more stats to the STATUS page of webgui when you log in.

I made this firmware primarily because of all the complaints about titan owners constantly experiencing dies that stop mining and they have to power cycle the whole miner in order to bring them back up. I experienced the same issue and had a feeling that the DCDC's were programmable and therefore could be issued a command to powercycle themselves and hopefully bring the die back into an operational state w/o any interference from the operator. It was successful and hence I decided to make my own release =)

Future changes may be an updated bfgminer and ability to OC to 350mhz, but Ive seen nowhere on how to do this. I do see some areas in the source code provided on KNC's github that MAY affect clocks but I dont know if simply adding a 350mhz value would do anything at all. I would like to see working documentation or examples of this from known sources OR from KNC's other products and perhaps I can figure it out from that.

Quick update my firmware is now available for download here:
https://github.com/GenTarkin/Titan/releases/tag/v.85

GenTarkin,

I just tried your image, but the default login and password is not admin/admin so I couldn't log in to the Titan. What is the proper user name and password for your image?

Ah, my bad, didnt realize it was changed from default haha...  admin/99e99
676  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: August 04, 2015, 04:33:11 PM
what better options have from original firmware?

I posted this a lil while back:

This is for batch 2 titan correct? The factory voltages are much higher on batch 1 titans, so if this image is for batch 1 , dont apply to batch 2 titans or it will fry your cubes.

Well, as far as I know my titan is a B1 and its stock settings are -.0366v @ 300mhz
Ive deleted the advanced.conf in the image(firmwarE) and Ive tested this does indeed restore the miner to default factory settings(clocks & voltages).

Just to be clear all this upgrade does is if you have a die stop it will restart the particular cube ..do I have this correct? or is there more to this then that

In that the cubes I have with bad dies they are shut to off (never got them to go at all) this patch may not be needed for someone in my situation

I probably should copy it and set it aside thou in case i have the phantom loss of die issue every other day i've heard some titan owners have

anyway just asking about any other reason to try your version out Smiley



Correct, if you have permanently damaged dies that cant be fixed as a result of powering off the miner and powering it back on... then this patch will do nothing for you. But if your dies randomly drop off while mining sometimes and a power cycle remedies the issue temporarily then ... this mod will do the power cycling of the particular cube having issues for you. In other words u dont have to baby sit the miner.
Also my mod adds way more useful stats under the STATUS webgui.
