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

why their is this implementation ? is it locked ?

@blissz
can you have a better indication (drawing or other pics) for where to fix 25k ohm potentiometer and what you mean for replace R80 ?

You need to remove the R80 resistor first and put  the potentiometer wired to the 2 "solder islands" of where the R80 was fixed.

ok understood , i thought may be blue one was connected on right side ...
will receive my D3 soon , i sent you a PM for pics of l3+ just to know where to send it , but mine as a control board problem i think , will had an other one soon .. (bored)

/!\ i cant wait for how to set default fan speed lower -_- ...

I am waiting, that I check it, but not received yet the november batch. I hope, that will be a new firmware, which can use more algo. Because this is a s##t now.

bitmain dont care about that , they wont waste time to have algos

I have some great news guys!  

I successfully modified the following:

- unlocked ASIC voltage from software. You can now increase or decrease the ASIC voltage from software
 This can save a lot of power / heat and noise. i.e. I run my D3 at 15Gh/s at below 700 watts instead of 19Gh/s @ 1200watts. On the other hand you can also decide to overclock your unit if your PSU can handle it with this unlocked vcore.
- removed fast FAN startup. (very annoying for users that run this miner at home)
- unlocked full fan control. No more minimum fan checks. It removed the low fan warnings as well.

I need to mod the webinterface as well and do some testing so it will take roughly one more week before I will release the first firmware version I guess
This first version is mainly aimed at home users to get a better power usage / hashrate balance and run it as silent as possible
 
before you ask: Adding new algorithms will be on the list for future versions

other feature requests are welcome of course

honestly, if someone can write a customized miner for the d3 to mine different algo's, i'm sure the community would have no issues paying a mining fee.

good luck on the research guys.

This is fantastic. Does this mean now that you don’t need to do  the soldering etc...?

exactly: it will be enabled by flashing the firmware and I will add the options to the existing web interface

perfect friend, ;-) congratulation ... if you need a beta tester i'm here 

[D3 Antminer]

So is this meant that can we hope for new algo's?

thats awesome. think you could add the options to allow --balance and --load-balance to the miner config?

Cheers

maybe blissz work for bitmain and is trying to fix the whole mess bitmain cause to the consumers...

[D3 Antminer]

I believe , Bitmain can solve this situation if desired.

But I dont believe that they will do

If they dont , I Hope someone will try this.

already 264 people are expecting it, maybe more than 1 million dollars investment

[kristikun]

Wow it be really insane if some1 makes ALgo switch possible ! Im willing to donate n test firmware !

[D3 Antminer]

Such a firmware update can sell thousands .

[stugots2]

wow this will be AMAZING!!! and this community needs it, considering....................

This looks freaking awesome, I am excited to the possibilities this will open for all, something maybe to look at if possible it the fans spinning up to 100% when the miner loses connection with the pool or when the internet drops out. The kernel log reads: local0.err cgminer[374]: read_temp_func: can't read all sensor's temperature, close PIC and need reboot!!!. This is probably the most annoying thing ever seeing as the fans a really loud at 6000RPM. I basically shit myself every time this happens seeing as I don't expect it.

I kinda like the fan revs since I run a pool. Give be a heads up something happened

[mikespax]

My 50 D3s would really like a nice upgrade.

Is a GREAT job!
Only an information.... you test this firmware only with D3 19.5 GH/s or you test also with the first batch 17.5 GH/s?
Thank you very much for your job!

[cumbrian-miner]

Anyone think the firmware could be modded so that the D3 could mine Scrypt??!

That would be awesome!

No

[blissz]

a small update on some questions I got:

- overvolting & overclocking will be possible as well. This doesn't make sense for me, but as long as you can keep it cool enough, it will be fine.
- I will add more features to the webinterface after the first version
- for now it's only tested on the October batch, but it will work for sure on other batches as well.

The status is now is that the I can adjust the voltage by hard code it in the binary, but it really needs to be a proper setting in the advanced webinterface page first before I send it out.
Fan speeds are fully unlocked already, so you can also decide to change them to a pair of silent fans on the modded firmware.
