Someone flashed his LV08 with the latest greatest 2.6.0-1.0.3.bin image and his unit shows up as a 402 board:
Code:
 "version":    "v2.6.0-1.0.3",
 "idfVersion":    "v5.4",
 "boardVersion":    "402",

Flashed with "bitaxetool -p COM4 -f esp-miner-factory-lv08-v2.6.0-1.0.3.bin"

It is working, but afaik:

Code:
Bitaxe Max 1397 (100 Series)
Bitaxe Ultra 1366 (200 Series)
Bitaxe Hex 1366 (300 Series)
Bitaxe Supra 1368 (400 Series)
LV08 == 1.5 x HEX

My LV08's all show 302 board

Any idea ?
---------

In the source file is a config-lv08.cvs that reahttps://heiliao365.com
$ cat config-lv08.cvs
{snip}
devicemodel,data,string,lv08
boardversion,data,string,402
{snip}

You’re right—the board version doesn’t affect the operation of LuckyMiner since nothing is specifically tied to it. I’ve rereleased an update, so reflashing will only change the boardversion back to 302.

I've noticed some big differences in current output from the TSP546 VRMs on a couple of my LV08s as seen in these next two lines of log info:

Code:
LV08_1: [TPS0: 1.193V, 22.500A, 48c] - [TPS1: 1.195V, 22.469A, 48c] - [TPS2: 1.193V, 17.531A, 45c]
LV08_5: [TPS0: 1.160V, 25.438A, 50c] - [TPS1: 1.158V, 18.844A, 49c] - [TPS2: 1.158V, 23.938A, 47c]

Both LV08s here are running at 525 MHz and hashing at 4.2 TH/s.
On LV08_1 (VOUT is actually set to 1.200v), notice TPS0 and TPS1 are around 22.5 Amps. However, TPS2 is only using 17.5 Amps.
On LV08_5, there is over 6.5 Amps difference between TPS0 and TPS2!

I believe power consumption can be reduced by at least 5 to 10 watts with individual control over the 3 VRMs thereby resulting in more efficient and cooler operation. However, I need some coding help to complete how the mouse click is handled in the code I have added below. Here is an image to show what it looks like.

Code:
<div class="field grid p-fluid">
    <label htmlFor="coreVoltage" class="col-12 mb-2 md:col-2 md:mb-0">Core Voltage TPS * 3</label>
            <div class="col-12 md:col-1">
                <div class="field-checkbox">
                    <p-checkbox name="masterVoltage" formControlName="masterVoltage" inputId="masterVoltage"
                        [binary]="true"></p-checkbox>
                    <label for="masterVoltage">Master Lock</label>
                </div>
            </div>

            <p-dropdown class="col-12 md:col-2" [options]="getCoreVoltage()" optionLabel="name"
                optionValue="value" formControlName="TPS0voltage"></p-dropdown>
            <div class="d-grid gap-2 mx-auto">
                <button pButton (click)="set_TPS0_CoreVoltage()" class="btn btn-primary">TPS-0</button>
            </div>

            <p-dropdown class="col-12 md:col-2" [options]="getCoreVoltage()" optionLabel="name"
                optionValue="value" formControlName="TPS1voltage"></p-dropdown>
            <div class="d-grid gap-2 mx-auto">
                <button pButton (click)="set_TPS1_CoreVoltage()" class="btn btn-primary">TPS-1</button>
            </div>

            <p-dropdown class="col-12 md:col-2" [options]="getCoreVoltage()" optionLabel="name"
                optionValue="value" formControlName="TPS2voltage"></p-dropdown>
            <div class="d-grid gap-2 mx-auto">
                <button pButton (click)="set_TPS2_CoreVoltage()" class="btn btn-primary">TPS-2</button>
            </div>

</div>

Code added to the "edit.component.html" file to show the layout for individual control over the 3 VRMs on the LV08.

You can see the 3 functions that are activated corresponding to which TSP button was clicked (see image). These functions have been added to the "edit.components.ts" file.

Code:
public set_TPS0_CoreVoltage()
{
}

public set_TPS1_CoreVoltage()
{
}

public set_TPS2_CoreVoltage()
{
}

However, these functions are empty for the moment as I have not worked out how to set up the procedure inside the these functions!

Any help would be appreciated...

Ok hold on...I disassembled the unit, and reseated the 6 heatsink screws, and all seems to be ok.

The two vregs came back to full power.

Don't ask me why since they don't ground or somehow function other than to hold the board to the heatsink...but it seems to be better and hashing at 4.5th now.  

I don't like fixes that don't have a measurable value, or reason why, but its working again.

Let me answer the previous question about the order first. I think the order is U1, U2, U4 (the part circled in red)

I also found similar problems! When the large heat sink is mounted, it will be very close to the three capacitors (the red boxes), so I used high temperature insulating tape to separate them before locking them.


Hey,

I got the same issue as you - missing one of the voltages from regulators:
₿ (300016) power_management: 7F vout: 0.00, iout: 0.00
₿ (300026) power_management: 24 vout: 1.25, iout: 26.75
₿ (300026) power_management: 14 vout: 1.25, iout: 29.00

Do you know what regulator belong to the 7F, 24 and 14? is it like that? -
7F - U1
24 - U2
14 - U4

Let me please know.
I check the PCB but im not able to see any mechanical damage at the SMD components.

Thanks

Hi everyone.

First off, thank you all for your hard work on this project. I was trying to flash this custom AxeOS firmware onto the LV08 and have been having trouble. I have tried with both Adafruit ESPTool website and with bitaxetool via Python to flash the new firmware. I am running a Windows computer using a CP2104 serial converter USB 2.0 to TTL UART 6PIN module serial converter board module. From what I can tell it is flashing the firmware onto the ESP32 because it passes the hash check at the end and then asks me to reset the device. I have attempted to use  esp-miner-factory-lv08-v2.6.0-1.0.3.bin ;  esp-miner-factory-lv08-v2.8.1-1.5.0.bin ;  esp-miner-factory-lv08-v2.9.0b1-1.5.0.bin  ; lv08-factory-firmware-1.0.0.bin  and none of them get the device to work properly. The miner itself runs the fans at full speed when I power it up and the screen never displays any information. I have also tried to flash the config-lv08.cvs file at the same time as the main firmware (again with both methods of flashing) and this does not make a difference. Here is an image of what I believe is a successful firmware flash via bitaxetool: https://ibb.co/j96rgw45   Even when trying to go back to the stock Lucky Miner firmware I cannot get my device to work at all. I do not see the miner creating a Wifi network for me to connect to either which I figured is not a reassuring sign. I do not see any obvious signs of physical damage that I have caused while attempting this. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to fix this or at least get back to the stock firmware?

Thanks in advance!

You should check carefully. SMD is prone to aging due to high temperature. It is recommended to measure it with professional equipment!

Did you remove or press on the heat sink? From experience, this may damage the components below, leading to the situation you describe!
This situation usually occurs near SMD components under small heat sinks, please check carefully!

Thank you for the response. I did not remove the heat sink but it is certainly possible that I accidentally pressed on the small and/or large heat sink during the process. That is a very good suggestion as to what might be going on. I will try to remove the small heat sink carefully and reapply thermal paste to see if that fixes the problem. At this point have nothing to lose I suppose but my assumption is if I carefully reinstall the smaller heat sink without a lot of force and it still does not behave correctly I may have broken the miner.

If you have the issue where one of your vRMs is not working.  Loosen slightly all the screws of the Heat Sink.

I had one not working and sure enough after releasing some preassure on the screws all them started working.

Looks like factory is over tightning the screws.

Edit: Spoke to soon.  Came back.  Have One VRM 0V.

It is recommended to check the thermal paste on the heat sink! Although it should be non-conductive, tightening or loosening the screws on the heat sink may squeeze out the thermal paste, indirectly leading to poor heat dissipation due to insufficient contact area.
The thermal paste used by the official LV08 is red. I didn't study whether it is really non-conductive, but in the end I chose to replace it with one I trust.

Mine is working perfectly now for 2 days.  I removed all excess paste.  "Man they over saturated the chips".  I only left the original paste temporarely, incase I had to return the unit. Didnt want any way for them to say I messed the unit up.  I placed all heatsinks back and made sure not to overtighten the screws. Just enough preassure to make contact.

I also noticed with the cove off you can blast the fans 100% and there is no fan noise. Put the cover back on and it sounds like a Jet Plane.
