Antminer D3 firmware testing

[d4nntheman]

Hello everyone 1st post so I know I'm not trusted quite yet.

Ultimately I have been testing a firmware replacement for the Antminer D3.
I think I got the basics of a usable firmware built.
I have softened the fans and added voltage control so far.
Unfortunately I do not have a kilowatt meter to test the actual power consumption of the D3.

So I am seeking testers for my firmware to test and get some reports back on the power consumption vs the original FW.
particularity in the 400-500MH and 50-200 MV ranges.

It seems to be running at 4xxMH/50MV pretty well for my miner but again I need empirical data to suggest that.

I know blissd has a great firmware already so this may seem a little redundant. so I'm not sure if anyone will even be interested in mine.

Here is the source code of cgminer.

https://github.com/d4nntheman/cgminer-dash

I still have to upload the actual firmware with changes to GitHub but that can easily be extracted and read.

Here is the complete firmware

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wsuyHwKJvszxSsdgBkfo8MofRqMRkVEL/view?usp=sharing

also a standard I am not responsible for anything this miner causes to hardware, you, feelings, ect...


Changes
Enabled changing voltage to the board via web interface
slowed the speed of the fan speed increase for more quite fans.

Eventually ill add the ability to change the fan speeds limits MAX_FAN_TEMP and MIN_FAN_TEMP via the web interface

more to come

Update:

added more voltage options
added fan speed adjustment I use 60 for the min fan speed temp and 80 for the fan max speed temp at 412/55
cherry picked some 4.10 cgminer updates

Hi
I'm ready to test the firmware.
add a description of your changes, the difference between your firmware and the standard one? what are the plans to change the firmware?

[d4nntheman]

listed out the changes now for you.
its literally just custom voltage and slowing the fans so far

broke my head.
pls, how to compile?

I success cross compile my HelloWorld.c under windows10 for BBB (with arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc.exe (Linaro GCC 7.2-2017.11) 7.2.1 20171011), but I cant compile cgminer prj with make, autoconfig, etc.
Pls, give advice where to go..
I need cut off fan check from cgminer, because I use TD-500/160 fan with 'NE555 fake-fan", I wanna phisicaly remove fake-fan with patching cgminer as well.

ps: I'm not english speaking, sorry for mistakes.

I use Linux for development so i cant help much with windows

but I configure like so

Code:

CC=/home/path/to/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc CCLD=/home/path/to/arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=armv7" ./configure --enable-bitmain-D1 --disable-libcurl --host armv7

then make
and you shoud be good

thank you very much! I use ubuntu too, but set only CC,  not CCLD. and flags is only -O2. go to the beer and try to do as U advice. thanx!

upd: all done.

Code:

login as: root
root@192.168.1.219's password:

thanx you very much again!

what Linux you use?
can you update cgminer to 4.10 version?

[pubill]

  thx d4nntheman

Could you tell me how to make it with firmware?

[d4nntheman]

what Linux you use?
can you update cgminer to 4.10 version?

I run arch linux
Ill look into updating to 4.10

thx d4nntheman

Could you tell me how to make it with firmware?

tar xvf to extract the tar
then use 7z to extract the .SD file
you should get a .cpio file use

Code:

cpio -idv < /tmp/object.cpio

to extract the cpio file
make sure you are root when you extract the cpio file

once its extracted you can replace any files in the firmware like cgminer the web pages ect.

to build the firmware

Code:

find . | cpio -o -H newc > ../Angstrom-antminer_m-eglibc-ipk-v2013.06-beaglebone.rootfs.cpio
cd ..
mkimage -n 'Angstrom-antminer_m-eglibc-ipk-v' -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -d Angstrom-antminer_m-eglibc-ipk-v2013.06-beaglebone.rootfs.cpio ../initramfs.bin.SD
cd ..
tar czvf Antminer-D3-myversion.tar.gz initramfs.bin.SD runme.sh am335x-boneblack-bitmainer.dtb

make sure the first command is as root as well

Hi d4nntheman
your firmware not work
antminer not boot
plz compile cgminer 4.10 version and i compile new firmware.
at the moment I restore my antminer D3, plz remove your firmware from first post

after update reset settings to default for better mining )

Hi all
test my firmware at the screen

[ChilliWinter]

Sounds like nice work here guys without dev fees.
I'm looking you about cgminer 4.10.x soon
keep it up, it's funny

check out my GitHub I just attempted to rebase to 4.10
I still need to cherry pick some code that went missing from the rebase though.
feel free to submit a PR if anyone has some code they want added.

[slv1221]

good job
i rebild and test it tomorrow

[d4nntheman]

okay rebuilt FW

now with more voltage options
fan control options as well
updated some parts of cgminer to 4.10

still may be beta ive been testing this release for a few mins. but im about to go drink so im done working on this for the day.
consider this release very unstable

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CXjg2EoBcL6tzCFTIeSG8KMrHVXt5yav

EDIT:

and wow its very unstable

Edit 2

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CXjg2EoBcL6tzCFTIeSG8KMrHVXt5yav

much more stable

[slv1221]

I get a lot of errors when compiling an item from git
as soon as I compile everything without errors, I will immediately update FW

take out the I \ O board from Antminer
insert a flash drive in I \ O board
close the 2 contacts with a screwdriver and hold, as shown in the picture https://monosnap.com/file/j2SyDacUpme1zxIPniluf6503ZeVtB.png

after reboot, turn off the power and remove the flash drive
connect the power and check that the board receives an IP address and is accessible via the web

Who can tell please, how i can open bitmain firmware and some change in there ?
Some script for ubuntu or what ? Help please
