Baikal X10 ⚡OVERCLOCK⚡ Claim reward 0.2 BTC for TUTORIAL HOW TO :)⚡⚡⚡⚡

[tboy32c]

I found quit a bit of the source for sgminer after writing the bin image(PiZero_GX10_171229_V1.1.img) to an SD card and looking at deleted files.  ...

Thanks for the info. Care to share what method you used to find the deleted files once the image was written to the SD card? Do the filenames seem to correlate with their contents?

I just used photorec to recovery any/all deleted files, then used astrogrep to do some searching.  The file names do not correlate.  Photorec just gives them a generic name.  We'll need more people searching for the other source files, my brain hurts.  ;o) 

Excellent discovery. Looks like this is pretty much all that is needed to build a custom sgminer for the Giants. Notice all the algorithms listed:

Code:

CRYPTONIGHT
CRYPTONIGHT_LITE
X11
QUARK
QUBIT
NIST
SKEINCOIN
SKEIN2
MYRIAD_GROESTL
GROESTL
X11GOST
VELTOR
BLAKECOIN
DECRED
VANILLA
BLAKE
SIA    
LBRY
PASCAL

Did you happen to find the file defining

Code:

ALGO_X11
ALGO_QUARK
ALGO_QUBIT
etc...

?

Of particular interest is this line:

Code:

msg.data[0] = (clk == 0) ? clk : ((clk / 10) % 20) + 2;

It looks like calling baikal_setoption() allows the clock to be set to an arbitrary value.

Does anyone have an opinion on which fork of sgminer is the best to start from? Stripping all the GPU/OpenCL related code should probably be done first, then this source can be added.

Looks like this is a pretty old version of the source as that list doesn't contain Skein or MGroestl, as the x10 is known to have. This looks like the same list of algorithms that Baikal's older Mini Miner and Giant A900 Dash Miner had so it may not have any new code at all for the x10/B/N (in this deleted version). Maybe it's just as easy as adding a few cases in there for the missing ones and using guess-and-check to get the right values.

[CNoteFan]

Could be.  There are many copies of most of the files, I think they'll need to be compared to figure out the latest version.  I am hoping someone smarter than me can piece it together and at least get the clock rate adjustable.  Give me some more keywords to search for and I'll try to post more information.  The searches take a while to complete.

[fawasme]

Will try to reocover more files. In the other hand, I was messing around the terminal of the X10, went in root mode to some folders inside where they code a lot about the clockrate of each of the three cards, will post about it later on guys.

I do believe Baikal will not help us to make more money, but if we get together we can make this machine a BEAST mining any algo at diffrerent clockrates!

Keep it up guys...very nice work! will help for sure...lets try to get this more private.

[fawasme]

By the way, while looking at some TAR Files recovered, I do see a lot "fakeroot" mentions, and a "ustar" mention, maybe the wanna play us with some fakeroot login through terminal....

I am not a programmer but just saying...

[cod3gen]

Im more interested in what other coins can be mined. Currently what i have figured out is that;
Currently included:
X11
QUARK
QUBIT
SKEIN
MyrGroestl

Possible and highly likely alternatives listed below, however they are defined with a different type of X10 it seems, so im not sure it even will be possible for those that are for sale now:
- Groestl
- Nist5
- X11 Gost
- Veltor

These alternatives are based on recovered files. The code also seems to reveal that they have had the "new" CN miner a long time, actually it would seem as they maybe even started production of that one before X10.

Currently done recovering about 80% of the code, will probably start trying to recompile to see if it works tomorrow.

Amazing I am very excited about it. I will have xome X10 soon. Keep us updated!

Did those earlier generations use pi's also?  I've never messed with them.

I just used photorec to recovery any/all deleted files, then used astrogrep to do some searching.  The file names do not correlate.  Photorec just gives them a generic name.  We'll need more people searching for the other source files, my brain hurts.  ;o)  

Can someone post the very first image file for the X10? I have v1.0 and v1.1, but was thinking I heard someone mention an earlier one.

Nice find!
Actually the c file source code looks like that it belongs to a Giant B based on the static bool baikal_send_work function. And the DEVICE_BAIKAL_H header file that you posted seems to belong to a MINI or CUBE miner. Strange...

Could you please upload the v1.0 image file to mega.nz or google drive?

[adra12]

Of particular interest is this line:

Code:

msg.data[0] = (clk == 0) ? clk : ((clk / 10) % 20) + 2;

It looks like calling baikal_setoption() allows the clock to be set to an arbitrary value.

To be honest I don't get the point of this part ((clk / 10) % 20) + 2
It just doesn't make any sense to me. If the clock is set to 400 MHz, then the msg.data[0] value will be 2. While if the clock is 300 MHz, then msg.data[0] is 12.
What is the logic here?

Nice find! Actually the source code looks like that it belongs to a Giant B, is that correct?

From what ive found, source code is same for X10, B and CN.

[divide by 10] indicates 10MHz increments, [mod 20] indicates a lookup table with 20 items, [+ 2] indicates the list begins at index #2:

Code:

2    400 (Giant B stock)
3    410/210
4    420/220
5    430/230
6    440/240
7    450/250
8    460/260
9    470/270
10   480/280
11   490/290
12   300 (Giant x10 stock)
13   310
14   320
15   330
16   340
17   350
18   360
19   370
20   380
21   390

Not sure whether, for example, #7 would give 450 or 250MHz - an experiment is needed.

[fawasme]

Hey guys,


two things to say,

We need to work on two things, overclocking to 420MHz and to recover the data of the two algorithms. missing:

1) Will upload to Mega the recovered data so you can see for yourself what you can work with..

2) Will it help (overclocking) this info found in the SD Image?

I just used photorec to recovery any/all deleted files, then used astrogrep to do some searching.  The file names do not correlate.  Photorec just gives them a generic name.  We'll need more people searching for the other source files, my brain hurts.  ;o)  

Can someone post the very first image file for the X10? I have v1.0 and v1.1, but was thinking I heard someone mention an earlier one.

Nice find!
Actually the c file source code looks like that it belongs to a Giant B based on the static bool baikal_send_work function. And the DEVICE_BAIKAL_H header file that you posted seems to belong to a MINI or CUBE miner. Strange...

Could you please upload the v1.0 image file to mega.nz or google drive?

Here's a link to the undeleted bin (PiZero_GX10_171229_V1.1.img) file:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/14__gwiueXt-OBfkveUK_eMqmNhKxajni/view?usp=sharing

I haven't started uploading the 4 gig (PiZero_GX10_171229_V1.0.img) file.  I'll do it if you really need it and of course if no one else uploads it!

If anyone have the Giant B and Giant x10 and don't mind doing a little work, can you take out the controller board (the board that goes on top of the 3 hash boards) and also the orange pi and swap them?

Want to see if the 3 hashing boards on the Giant B and Giant x10 are the same. If it works, then that means you will only need to update the controller board first, since just swapping out SD Cards does nothing.

It will be pointless trying to compile a custom sgminer if you require to update the controller board first.

Ive been able to recompile sgminer based on files from X10 and CN, however some problems at hand with USB communcation to the boards, guess ill figure out those in a while. As an example i found nothing less than 33 different versions of driver-baikalu.c, so there will be some sorting before everythings ok.

X10, B and CN all have different chips, so i dont think it will be possible to cross them, i would not suggest that any one tries this unless they have no problem risking their hardware.

X10 seems to be able to support additional coins: groestl, nist5, x11-gost and veltor, thats atleast what im trying to figure out.

We tryed it.  It does not work.  They are different!

Great work!
Did you add these changes to usbutils.h?

Code:

...
	USB_ADD_COMMAND(C_BAIKAL_SEND, "BaikalSend") \
	USB_ADD_COMMAND(C_BAIKAL_READ, "BaikalRead")
...
