Antminer D3 Blissz firmware (10/12 v1.12 update)

[may142012]

In summary,
No one care fan speed , voltage etc unless additional algo
Because most of us will shut it down if no profit as is now..
I am asking all legendary , full members
Please reach the related senior develeopers
I am also wrote  to cgminer( not interested)  developer and gentarkin ( not replied  yet)

But I am newbie finally.
 I dont recognise all develepers who are capable of.
This will not easy even it is posssible.
Possibly more support needed , probably  a team work is a must.

No one say this is( new algo ) is possible including  Blissz actually.

I have highly   lost  my hopes

I agree that a new algo would be awesome and I will look into that more once this x11 version is finalized, but in the meantime for most of us it really does help if you can run it at a lower wattage. Especially when you run it at home.
Why this does help:

- significant less power costs with just a slight drop in hashrate: ~19 Mh/s @ 1200watt vs ~17 Mh/s at 750 watts.
- more profits as the power costs dropped that much. Especially true if you run it in Europe
- less heat
- way less noise (2500 RPM should be sufficient)
- one other thing: the total difficulty will drop a bit if the majority of the users run it at a lower hashrate, so in the end it means that you get the same amount of DASH with a lower power bill.

just my 2cents

Thank you for your latest firmware, but i still wait for the stable version, if i can control over dev fees, and possibly someone can crack the different algos.

Hi, how can I open the file: initramfs.bin.SD and the file: am335x-boneblack-bitmainer.dtb of the D3 firmware? I want to see the internal code and try to modify it. Thank you.

Thank you blissz,
its a great progress. i would also like to suggest something to add.
along with working on adding a new algo,
would it be possible to use the D3 for mining only one of the X11 algo. that way, people could choose which algo to mine. this will also spread out hash a bit as people can start a single algo.

Hi, how can I open the file: initramfs.bin.SD and the file: am335x-boneblack-bitmainer.dtb of the D3 firmware? I want to see the internal code and try to modify it. Thank you.

Can someone answer me please?

why dont you ask the compiler/OP??..even better try work with him to make this firmware better for community if you have coding skill

I asked. no answer.

I want to know how to open these files to only see if I can do something because i own an antminer D3. If someone can answer me please.

A huge thank you for your great work @Blissz! Amazing what you have achieved in this short time!
I am more than happy to donate 1,50% of my hashrate for you! 

I have now uploaded your 18.11 firmware to 3 of my D3 miners (mid-October batch with 19GH default). For me the fan noise is no problem as my miners are in a closed room in the cellar, but the voltage reduction is what makes this worthwhile to use! It can literally be the difference between losses and gains for me.
One of my D3 miners has a very unbalanced hashrate among the 3 boards, and for a miner like this, it would be great to add board specific voltage/frequency tuning as somebody else has suggested earlier in this thread. Anyway, here are the results for my miners. The one on the top is the one that has unbalanced boards.

Yes this is high on my wishlist as well, along with an auto tune setup for the less skilled miners .

hi
use Cygwin for extract initramfs.bin.SD

Thanks forthat answer I will take a look of that files too. hope Still alive (at least to try to mine just one of the 11 algos in x11)

Hi, I have downloaded cygwin but I don't know how to open that file. Cygwin says that there is an error...

initramfs.bin.SD is a binary compiled for arm arquitecture , u must get a x64/x86 version of the executable or run in an arm

[StanchoBS]

Firmware working fine for me. Save me 150-200watts at same settings with original. Thanks

[dottat]

@blissz what about making your dev pool run once a day instead of breaking the hash cycle once an hour?  It would probably yield better results for you too..

Ho can I do? Please explain me.

[Dmitriy2k17]

The firmware worked without HW errors, but after 6 hours one blade fell into xxxx.
475 Mhz
16.5 GH/s
Voltage 16
Fan 50% ~4100prm

[reimon85]

As far as i know u must compile the source (u dont have) for x64-86 or edit direct on an arm o arm virtual machine

#Cut the header, leave rest
dd if=initramfs.bin.SD of=initramfs.gz bs=1 skip=64

#Make a temp directory for rootfs
mkdir rootfs_unpacked
cd rootfs_unpacked

#Unpack initramfs to designated directory gzip then cpio
zcat ../initramfs.gz | cpio -i

Profit))

Thanks for the great work guys.  I'm still waiting for my D3's to come in, so fall all I'm doing is mining with my GPUs.  I'm hoping the multi algo's for X11 and I'll happily donate 1.5-2% of my hashing power to whoever solves it.  If everyone comes to the consensus to donate their hashing power, the Dev's going to be well rewarded.
