[HOWTO] flash your jalapeno to 8+ ghs

[lightfoot]

Interesting note: I reflashed my Jally this evening to CK's elf from my 1.25 with some tweaks and a speed 7. Speed went up a bit from 7.4 to 7.5gh or so, but errors went from 2.2% down to 0.5% and temps went from 44 to 46C.

Bit different, lot less errors. Wonder where the difference is.

hi I see all these programers on ebay can someone tell me which one will work to flash my jally thankyou

the simplest option is to use an AVR Dragon programmer. Although others have a tutorial with a Raspberry Pi (but it is more complex)

i been reading this thread and want to flash a 5GH that i have sitting here. I do have a PI and a usbjtagnt but if some one is in the NYC area and already has everything needed to flash and do it with in a few quick mins then let me know i have CASH or BTC for you

Im located in time square so let me know

[123orangebud]

awesome, i flashed my Jala from 5,3 to 8,3 Ghs

[winter]

no NYC people here with a dragon ?

Which firmware did you use?

[winter]

bought my self a avr dragon i will be flashing my 2 units once it comes in
i love toys i love having something to do

right now i have 3 units
30GH / 5GH / 7GH

30GH runs at 30GH to 32GH runs at HW: 1.4%
5GH runs pretty weak 4.XX to 5.XX runs shitty HW: 3.4%
7GH runs at 7.XX to 8.XX runs at HW: .55%

now i'm wondering what i should do

5GH running 1.0.0 firmware right now
30GH is running 1.2.6 firmware
7GH is also running 1.2.6 firmware
* i'm thinking i'm going to update the fan on the 5GH with a better one. Also I'm going to flash it with 1.2.6

has anyone updated the firmware to 1.2.9 ? any mods for that out ?

Interesting. My 5gh model was well under 1% errors stock, when I went up to 1.2.5 with tweaks it went to 4% errors and 7.6gh, when I reflashed with CK's it went down to below .5% errors and has been running well for weeks now and 7.6gh. In all cases heat went from 36-38c to a solid 42c.

I think activating marginal cores might be the issue, the extra heat and power might not be worth it. Let us know what you get after the flash.

And as a status update my JP is running perfectly well, however even with a pair of erupters I am only mining 3 cents a day or so. Ah for the days of yore when I was making 9c a day.....

I've started flashing Jallys for those without the know-how, tools, or time. Same day turnaround. Might as well raise the difficulty as much as I can lol!

still lookin for someone to provide Jalapeno flashing services in the Greater Toronto Area...

I was wondering if you found someone in Toronto to overclock the jalapeno. Im from Toronto, I don't feel confident to do this however if I have to I will. Also was wondering can I use this dragon to jtag Samsung phones ? If I buy this I would like to jtag my phone with this. Thanks

Why not just use Odin?

[erk]

Can someone look at the specs and tell me if this AVR programmer should do the job?

if it is hard brick no response it must be done with jtag ...riff box. So if I am going to buy a programmer I want to use it for jtag phones as well.

Well, it's quite possible your Jally has B grade chips with some errors. Remember BFL was originally going to use *one* chip to give us 4.5gh, it didn't work past 4 so they gave us full blast singles with two chips. The fact they used B and C grade chips is fair, since we paid for 4.5gh or maybe 6 if we spent the extra $100 or so (which seemed to get us A grade chips as well).

So 7.3 to 7.5 is actually pretty good. You may be able to go faster but two things will happen:

1) Errors will go up a lot as marginal processors come online
2) Heat use and power use will go way up as the higher clocks burn more power as do error producing cores

I ultimately ran my system with the CK firmware and get a good solid 7.3gh, < .5% errors, and a chip temp of 40c. What I'm going to do is put two more chips on my board, then try two more to see if I can get it to 23-24gh for an extra $100 or so.

is that really possible? I mean just put chips and they will work right away?
chips are not so high priced - and we already have all in place - if you could really do it it would be at least awesome )
