Hi Lucko, you need a COINADO sticker on the cooling fan for the units you fully assemble.


Any more news on the 16 chip design?

I can make the stickers if anybody need high quality ones, I can too print white and metallic on transaprent vinyl all with contour cut - Lucko has my contact details now too (sample chips). High quality printings need a vector based logo work what have to be in one layer (no overlaying vectors). So just contact me!  Wink

First we need to figure out how much heat is coming off chips... It looks like BFL specs are off... 3 chips 38W... So not by much but they have low hashrates... Only 8GH... And it is not the board it is chips... Samples are low quality...

So then we will know heatsink needed and then we can make a sticker...

Bin like recycle bin... Looks like samples are chips that they will not even put in Jala...
They seem to be pretty terrible. I've had to use a knife to scrape the epoxy underfill off the top of the die on some.

Yes. It is more or less ready and will be made in about 14 days for first test... Based on what we know now we are sure it will work. So it needs only samples now...

And it has a name COINTAMINATION Smiley I must say I love it!!!

EDIT: GB buyers that have chips but not enough to fill full 16 chips board can buy more chips now. Board will be hosted for free(-electricity) till chips arrive and then we will add them to the board.

I don't think the other thread is locked now. I believe  the links are broken because the forum now has issues with shortened links.

Yes I also think that is what happened... I was sleeping on(keyboard) my laptop... I need to slow down now... Burning candle on both ends is leaving its mark...

If anyone is interested how good samples are...

PROCESSOR 0: 10 engines @ 428 MHz -- MAP: B7E4  1011011111100100
PROCESSOR 3: 7 engines @ 354 MHz -- MAP: F206   1111001000000110
PROCESSOR 4: 12 engines @ 384 MHz -- MAP: F6DE  1111011011011110
PROCESSOR 5: 8 engines @ 342 MHz -- MAP: 85DC   1000010111011100
PROCESSOR 7: 9 engines @ 371 MHz -- MAP: 03FE   0000001111111110

This is with tweaked 1.2.5 firmware.... We are still in process of making ours... This is also the best test board can do. BFL power usage data are off a bit. Could be poor quality chips. But just to be sure we will use 4 chips per power module so it will work for sure...

I think it is funny that I'll have custom BFL-based hardware from Slovenia before I have my march pre-order from Kansas City. Cheesy

Yes that is a question not only for BFL but all(well not ASIC miner)... But this time they have motivation to send since they only have 50%...

And company that is making them is not BFL...

COINADO  COINTAMINATION  FRANKENJALA

Hi Lucko

As the family is growing so fast, Will you be able to do anything with the little singles and singles? they are in danger of becoming the poor relations!

Yes I can upgrade Little single into Single without a problem from what I saw... Need to get one in hand or pictures of the board in more details but it looks like it is same board with only one side populated...

OK we have one Little single on the way so we can see if this will work.

But we can do something else for  them as well. Give instructions how to overvoltage them and install our custom firmware.

Just to give you idea. Jala was stock at 6.5 GH(so upgraded version). With stock 1.2.5 was 7.3 GH. Modified firmwere (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=236875) 7.8 GH and ours 8.6GH (not finished yet)... So yes we can do something for them too... This is done for now without overvoltage...

Hi,
when did you place order 1 and 2? when are you expecting delivery of those? How many weeks are BFL saying it would take to deliver the chips?

Have something else for you...
I'm posting this to see if you can figure it out that it is...

PROCESSOR 03: 12 engines @ 247 MHz -- MAP: 0xFF8E 0b1111111110001110
PROCESSOR 04: 13 engines @ 272 MHz -- MAP: 0xF6FE 0b1111011011111110
PROCESSOR 05: 12 engines @ 244 MHz -- MAP: 0xCFFC 0b1100111111111100
PROCESSOR 08: 14 engines @ 322 MHz -- MAP: 0xBFFE 0b1011111111111110
PROCESSOR 15: 11 engines @ 289 MHz -- MAP: 0x0FFE 0b0000111111111110

If not there will be a picture tomorrow...

And yes those are the same chips that were:

PROCESSOR 0: 10 engines @ 428 MHz -- MAP: B7E4  1011011111100100
PROCESSOR 3: 7 engines @ 354 MHz -- MAP: F206   1111001000000110
PROCESSOR 4: 12 engines @ 384 MHz -- MAP: F6DE  1111011011011110
PROCESSOR 5: 8 engines @ 342 MHz -- MAP: 85DC   1000010111011100
PROCESSOR 7: 9 engines @ 371 MHz -- MAP: 03FE   0000001111111110

This is what firmware did to them... From 12 GH to 18 GH... But this is not the news... Something else is...
I really should take a time and write a mail to mailing list but I'm just to busy...

We already have an answer...

16 chip board bios?
Yes!!! Well close enough... 16 chip "board" with 16 chip bios...

This was the last test... We could put up to 16 chips in this(EDIT: if we had enough power so it is only 10)... So last checks before 8- and 16-chip boards goes into production have passed.

Yes we were testing 16 chip board... But since we don't have it we frankensteined one together...
