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

[risinqsun]

Hi,

How much are u consuming in the diferent voltage levels and how about good error rates??

Thank you for share

Best regards.

Regarding sub-X11 algo mining, I also quickly read through the code and my feeling is that the controler board sends an X11 work package to the ASIC boards and the ASIC boards return the final X11-Hash to the main controller board. I guess there is no way to trigger single algo mining out of the linux controller board, even if someone tweeks the miner software.
BUT... (I haven't investigated that yet) it seems that each ASIC board has a PIC µC on it, which would handle communication between main Linux controler board and the ASIC chips. So if there is one place where it may be possible to trigger single algo mining, it would be inside the PIC.

What do you guys think about this?

That's exactly how it works now indeed. The PIC is in between the controller board and the ASIC's so let's hope bitmain added some secret switch. I looked into it quite some hours now and didn't succeed yet. But I still have hope there is a command to trigger it, but some inside information from Bitmain would make things a bit more simple...

I think that we need all the experience and knowledge of all member of this forum.....

I think we need work on reverse engineering of this PIC ... anyone can read and post content of the PIC?

see the topic start for a good guidance on "profiles" / expected power consumption

news regarding the pic are very interesting, thanks for the work you are doing!

[BartoszN1990]

there is some 2 more stratum with 2 workers there how can i remove them?
(...)
or it is must to keep? if so how can i revert back to original firmware?

I think it's a fee of developer.
If you dont like to mine for him, revert to original firmware (dowload from bitmain support site).
(or just patch cgminer with hexeditor and change his worker's name to yours.. it's a some kind of cheat)

What u mind how we can edid ccminer ? can u explain ?

Rly impresive u can sleep work like normal pc .. but 15 ghs < 19 ghs ;/ i lost 4 ghs at the moment and les 400 wat .. idk what to thing ..

[ruptan]

Nice. One more thing..do you keep the machine running while flushing it or close. The instruction in the Bitmain site is rather confusing. I have upgraded it before like 2 years ago with S4 but forgot now. Just wanted to find out a step by step approach. Getting old man Thank you.

I think you can get a better performance. Start setting each chain at global and start in your case witht the global setting: 425mhz @ lowest voltage. Now increase the Global frequency untill one chain starts giving HW errors.
Then it's time to fine tune by adjusting each chain. On some you're might able to squeeze out a bit more Mhz and on some chain you mihgt have to increase the voltage a bit to get rid of HW errors.
I hope it's clear what I try to explain, otherwise let me know then I can write a sort of tutorial how to tune it.

[acyclovir]

I have flashed the mod in 1 AntD3, but after testing with an Ammeter i have noticed that AMPs has increased:

- Original's Bitmain Firmware: 4.6 AMP |  3 PCB 500MHz

- Blissz moded Firmware: 5.0 AMP | 3 PCB 500Mhz | set at 8 (Voltage)

Isn't it related a higher AMP to a higer power consumption?

Well i have confisue can u explain it ? i send priv msg

[blissz]

Hmmz for some of use the autotune function might be a good idea to implement.

What would  be a good approach do you guys think? I am thinking about 2 modes:

1) Silent mode: Auto find highest possible freq at lowest voltage and set fan as low as possible (try to keep chip temps below 80 deg)

2) Performance mode: Set the desired Hashrate (16 - 20Gh/s) and let the algorithm find the best voltage for each board. Fan will be set at auto

[Ubersonic]

1) Silent mode: Auto find highest possible freq at lowest voltage and set fan as low as possible (try to keep chip temps below 80 deg)

I like the sound of that

One feature that would be amazing (I'd pay for it anyway lol) would be if you could set a schedule, like run performance mode 8am-5pm (I.E while people are usually at work) and silent running the rest of the time, that would be awesome.

It's on my list, but I will focus on auto tune first as it will help more people (according the vote )

Random question. Are the 15ghz D3s actually different from the 19.3 Ghz ones? Will they perform differently with this firmware or using the latest update from Bitmain? Is it possible to get a 15 up to 19.3? I'm just wondering if the new machines are actually permanently any better than the previous ones.

1 batch was 15 ghs
2 batch was 17 ghs
3 batch was 19 ghs
4 batch should be 20 ghs
5 last batch ( deceber ) 21/22 ghs .. this is info from bitmain

I buy fieew machines from 3 batch they are all 19.5 ghs stock 1221 wats

[mikespax]

So you can't just take a 15ghz machine, flash new firmware and get it up to the speed of newer models?

Well, I have 4 D3s from mid October batch (3rd I guess) and they were all set by default to 537 MHz, which gives just over 19GH. But this was too high for the machines, the temps climbed immediately to 80 deg. C., so I had to lower them to 500 to 519 to get temperatures that do no not exceed 75 deg. C. I don't know whether it is just a marketing ploy by Bitmain or the machines are really different. The best thing for you is to try increasing the frequency and check for HW errors and temperatures. You should anyway not allow the machines to reach 80 deg. C. because one or more of the boards will start failing showing xxxxx.
Good luck!
