Can I use a R4 controller with S9 blades?

Anyone tried this? Using a R4 controller with S9 blades? Just wondering because the chips are the same,
but this controller with the Zynq 7020 on it does support full range of Mhz selection and full range of Fan control.

So if this can be used on S9 blades you can fully personalize your miner, (very) silent and (much) lower hashrate or
select whatever ideal freq. and fan percentage you need\like in your situation...

Please let me know what you think? Or have tested

Maybe you can, or maybe you need to modify the firm to be the S9 firm.

If this is just about need to control frequency and fan speed manually, then you can try my trick that I have posted earlier in the S9 and R4 threads  :

This was done with R4. I have no autotune S9 to test it.

This is also S9 related, so I thought to share this here as well.
If there is someone with a desire for non-autotune settings, be brave and please report if you get same results as I had

Well, this is an interesting find and I thought I'll share it with you.

I had a problem booting my Antminer R4 8.0 Th/s, batch 2, autotune-model.

So I went looking in here:
Bitmain.com: Three Ways to Restore Factory Settings (R4/S9/T9)
https://enforum.bitmain.com/bbs/topics/3957

I used the last option in the list, IP Reporter button restore.

Usage: Please power off the miner, then hold down the IP Reporter and don’t release it. At the same time, please power on the miner.
Releasing the IP Reporter after 5 seconds, the machine will automatically restore factory settings.

My miner restored with firmware Aug. 9 2016 and autotune settings were gone.
I am now suddenly able to control frequency and custom fan settings.  

This was not my original problem, but I'm happy with it.
My original problem was that the miner jammed somehow in the booting process and didn't even show up in my router ip list.

its not the physical controller that dictates if it is auto tune or not. That is all in the software.

Yes. This, exactly.

Yeah, I would like to control the frequency and fan speed myself and try to get me a silent S9

Wil give this a try and see how it works out for me. Thanks!
