MinToRRo Bitmain Antminer Firmware S5 / S7- The Flash one!

[Ondart]

Fubly,

I performed a more in-depth undervolt testing today. I think this pretty much confirms that the undervolt settings for my S7 AntMiner running cgminer 4.8.1 are not affecting the miner or reducing power consumption at the wall. I think this firmware is fantastic and has many valuable features. However, the one feature that is most important to me and I believe for many others is to extend the life of the S7 miner after the halving and as the difficulty increases by reducing utility costs. The amperage consumed by the S7 Miner does not noticeably change when undervolted even all the way down to the 0600 undervolt setting. Is there any other configuration that can be made to get the Miner to recognize voltage changes with this firmware?

Here are the results of my testing. I kept the frequency at the default 625 for the S7-B7 miner and stepped down the voltage using every setting and pulled the statistics at the 5 minute mark.

Test 1

Hash Rate (5 Min/Avg) 4,960 Freq   625.00 Voltage .0706 (Default) Temps 73/73/73 AMPS 12.66 FAN RPM   3600/3600

Test 2

Test 4

Hash Rate (5 Min/Avg) 4,864 Freq   625.00 Voltage   .0672 Temps   73/72/74 AMPS   12.57 FAN RPM   3600/3600

Test 5

Hash Rate (5 Min/Avg) 4,762 Freq   625.00 Voltage   .0660 Temps   73/72/73 AMPS   12.66 FAN RPM   3720/3600

Test 6

Test 7

Hash Rate (5 Min/Avg) 4731 Freq   625.00 Voltage   .0636 Temps   73/73/74 AMPS   12.61 FAN RPM   3720/3600

Test 8

Hash Rate (5 Min/Avg) 4,908 Freq   625.00 Voltage   .0624 Temps   74/73/74 AMPS   12.60 FAN RPM   3720/3600

Test 9

Hash Rate (5 Min/Avg) 4,881 Freq   625.00 Voltage   .0625 Temps   73/73/74 AMPS   12.60 FAN RPM   3720/3600

Test 10

Hash Rate (5 Min/Avg) 5,132 Freq   625.00 Voltage   .0612 Temps   73/73/74 AMPS   12.60 FAN RPM   3720/3600

Test 10

Hash Rate (5 Min/Avg) 4,999 Freq   625.00 Voltage   .0600 Temps   73/73/74 AMPS   12.55 FAN RPM   3600/3600

Fubly,

I noticed in your demo video you used the configuration option: 'Zwilla Mod Special Miner Options ALL: 115200:32:8:7:200:0782:0725'. What are these parameters for specifically and should I be using them for undervolting?

Are you using regular cryptoglance? Or is three another one. Sorry if I'm missing something but I've read the thread and and noticed features that I don't recall on standard cryptoglance.

This is not the standard Cryptoglance (which I actually do use use for monitoring all my home miners). This is custom firmware plus a pretty awesome customization of Cryptoglance that is tied in with the custom firmware. The only bummer is that I want to undervolt the S7 Miner and this looks like one of the only options that does not seem to be functioning with this custom firmware or maybe its because the voltage is fixed for the S7. I am looking for a hardware solution for the undervolt now but I don't think anyone has done it except for the S1, S3 and maybe the S5 miners. With my utility rate, am now breaking even with the halving and the current difficulty.

The only way to change the chip voltage is to re-program the PIC in the hash board with a PIC programmer.

hello fubly,

how do I get the free version of your firmware, i'd like to check it out..... i don't see it on your website...

can you put a link up please

Dear Kano,

https://github.com/Zwilla/cgminer

Firstly, the git does not contain any changes, only a single pull request dated 14th march that isn't even applied.

In that single pull request, among other things, I see commits with empty files ... like zapi.c zapi.h ...
Comments saying it doesn't work ...
A change to show passwords, and a lot of simply deleted code for FPGA and other drivers.

Thumbs up Kano. I was just bumping in to this thread looking for an cgminer version 4.9.2 for the S7`s ....

How ever It does look like their is some very important improvements of the Bitmain Firmware that we all could benefit from. I think Fubly is on the right track with the Bitmain Firmware...

Hello all!

As i can see, people had difficulties with this package... So i have my things to tell now.

This is working now pretty well with my 2x S7
Those are 54asic models and both are running with lowered mhz, volts, fans, temps and little down with gh/s
Fans are not loud, when under 3000 rpm. My miners temps with 3000 rpm are around 50c(+/-5c)
It was not easy for me neither  to get FW work this well, but i had good support from Mintorro´s team!
My machines works without issues. Those temps are so low that i don´t need to touch fans never.(If fans 100% temps under 40c)
I burned it many times and after several sessions with support things started to work well.

-Be sure that your image is correct and if running from sd, verify that it´s not damaged card.
-https://ant´s ip/login.php opens when it´s ready

+ Sd-image saved my beaglebone!(Frankenstein mod) Other miner won´t boot without it.
+ Where are errors? 0.0x%
+/- Now i can hear my wife again.. So...

My watts dropped more than work! So back in business with S7´s
Roomtemp is about 20c and still they are quiet.

Thanks and good luck for others (if problems)!
Special thanks for Fubly! This is something and works as i need it

As with the above post, yeah as usual, many people don't give a shit about the license requirements on cgminer, and want to support people like fubly who break licenses.

It's the standard open source GPLv3 license as stated in the code ... not difficult to adhere to at all.
