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

[HagssFIN]

This is great project, thanks for doing this. 

Let us know, if there is something we can help you with.

[D3 Antminer]

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.

Actually My curiosity is ,can be added more algo to D3

This is amazing that you doing those modes and sharing with community.
Im sure we all will donate or pay for your modes once done and tested.
Where do you base blissz? If UK I can give u one of my D3 first batch for testing.
PM me if interested

Man if you could help us with a mod firmware I think all of us will be glad to pay you for your work or even if you include a fee in the firmware as the ewbf all will support that.

I'm waiting a miracle from you.

Thank you!

If someone with a multimeter can verify this for me: what's the original r80 value? I need to undo my hardware mod properly to define a good voltage range

i prefer support people like blissz , or other from community instead bitmain , they dont do anything for D3 , dont waste your time

@blissz
will have it mine tomorrow. for voltage , i hope batch nov 21-30 will not be different ?

Hi, i'm also an owner of some Antminer D3 devices.

My skills are software engineering, but my world is microsoft based and not linux. But i have installed cygwin and unpacked the new firmware (initramfs.bin.SD) to a folder to inspect all files. My idea is to get sgminer (from new Baikal X10) up and running. That would be very cool, but i don't know where to start.

What i can see is, that Antminer runs cgminer 4.9.0 and Baikal runs sgminer...

Is this possible? Anybody else an idea?

Here is the unpacked Folder from last firmware update.

I guess that;s quite a challenge. The interface to the d3 board is a serial connection. Not sure about the baikal. If we could get the source for the d3 cgminer that would really open up possibilies... So if one with access to this reads this....

I have already ordered one Baikal X10 miner from 1st batch. Maybe i will receive the device next week. If anybody interested to ge the image, please tell me.

I am waiting for my D3 nov batch. I think I already dun goofed because the prices of the miners on ebay are lower than my $1400 preorder now.

Any real hope for other algorithms?

Ack! I have a 2.6k 2nd batch D3 and the 1.4k batch 2nd unit D3 'space heater' like yourself....FML

(someone needs to make a frigging x11 coin ..that we can promote/pump and dump like BCH ..to get out of this hole!)

@blissz: What frequency and bitmain-voltage setting did you use to reach 15Gh/s 700w? I tested some undervolt sets in cgminer, but not much success.

[stugots2]

if you can make em mine X13 we would all make profit i think

[cumbrian-miner]

@blissz - anything to turn down the fans, reduce the heat and noise... Additional algos would of course be a Godsend.

As with some of the the other guys above - anything I can do to help? (Unlikely I will be taking the box to bits though...)

[Ambros]

I do not own a D3 miner, but I hope that I will put my hands on one to try this mod.
It sounds fun!

[dod777]

awesome...we are waiting for positive results with new algo for our "beloved" D3....

that would be worth its weight in gold

[BossmanPL]

I don't think it is possible to change algo. Parts are specially designed for mining particular algo.
If that would be possible, Bitmain would be foolish to open such gate, in a marketing way of thinking.

@blissz when do you think your first beta firmware could be available ?.
We will have it on november batch ?, thanks for your work, btw. do you change hexes in compiled programs or you modify viewable / conf files ? in regards to moddifications to firmware.

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

That's awesome!  Any chance you can make this same firmware mod for the L3 to remove the minimum fan checks and all that nonsense? I'd really like to change out the fans on my L3s with quieter, more efficient fans, but the fan speed checks always crash the miner.

some Algo's are so close, which is why the Giant does like 7 different ones
