sgminer: Baikal Giant X10 / N / B - Open Source - Confirmed OC Giant B!

[cod3gen]

Rebuild of Baikal`s SG Miner for Giant X10 / N / B

Quick update 03.09.18;
Baikal N70 is missing from Baikal`s github, if any one have the orginal sgminer executable for this one, publish it here. N240 executable does not work for N70.

To those with N70 and N240, this sgminer will NOT work, at all.
It will only OC Giant B, and not X10, N.

Since the guys over at Baikal obviously have not made their version of SG Miner open source, lets do it for them!

The purpose for this recovery and rebuild was to see if it was possible to overclock these miners, and unlock extra algos for X10. Its not identical to the included sgminer with baikal miners however its performance is pretty damn close after monitoring two days. Some code cleanup should have been done, its messy thats its there without any proper use - and some of them are additional code from me thats not needed or even not correct.

I would like for the community to contribute, maybe we can find a solution for both overclocking and unlocking the extra algorithms, i also hope that this will make the guys over at baikal start to open source their software as according to SG Miner licensing, Bitmain already do this with their CG Miner! Let me know if you would like to collaborate, hit me up @ Discord or PM.

libusb and jansson is included of which libusb seems to be modified so i had to recover it.

The Recovery
Currently recovered data from:

PiZero_GX10_171229_V1.1.img
PiZero_GN_180310_V1.0.img
PiZero_GB_180105_V1.0.img
Giant X10 Miner on hand
Giant N Miner on hand
With a total of ~687000 files recovered, of which about 601000 files where duplicates and removed. After some additional sorting i was left with 60223 files. These files can be found here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ZSFova5RtgaxZD7K2PJdv-lI5BKC07KH

Great if anyone with a Giant B can test if this miner works for them. I have yet to test Skein on X10, or Aeon on N to verify that those are working.

I don't exactly what I'm looking at, but I've found it interesting here, where they are testing out the X10, N, and B at the same time. You can see where they set #if 0 for Groestl, Nist5, X11-Gost, Veltor for the X10.

Code:

#ifdef USE_BAIKAL

As far as I can tell, it's setting the base clock to whatever type of miner it is.

1751 = N
1791 = B
else/1772 = X10

Code:

#if BAIKAL_TYPE == BAIKAL_1751
#define BAIKAL_CLK_DEF   (200)
#elif BAIKAL_TYPE == BAIKAL_1791
#define BAIKAL_CLK_DEF   (400)
#else
#define BAIKAL_CLK_DEF   (300)
#endif

They have done that, because those algo`s simply dont work yet, seems to be missing on firmware side.

But, the "two" extra algos for sure is some of those - a firmware upgrade is needed. Ive looked over the statistics of the different algo`s, and i have not seen so much unnatural rises in hashrate on any of those really, so that may mean that they are not finished developing them just yet. Unlike Monero which had a high rise in quarter 4 of 2017, no doubt that was Giant N.

Yepp, thats what they want to do atleast. Not the correct method, so it does not work, since BAIKAL_TYPE will always be (0x7) while BAIKAL_1751 will always be (0x1). Some changes are required there.

Honestly, i have no idea what the chip frequency actually are. The return numbers from the STM32 chip just does not add up, the displayed number is static, while returned from STM32 chip is always 440 Mhz, both on Giant N and X10 - so i know its not correct.

The global hash rate of the Groestl had increased in 5... 10 times from  autumn of 2017. From Jan 2018 it became obvious that Groestl is solo mined by single wallet.  Week ago I have seen 700+ GH/s, it is absolute record in this coin.

So I am 99% sure that two algorithms are operational.

I doubt that 700 Gh/s is enough for a whole Baikal Farm mining Groestl. Having in mind that 1 Baikal should do about 5 - 10 Gh/s it would mean only 70 - 140 Baikals, just nothing in my opinion. On the other side, it would take about 12.000 1089ti Cards to mine ~700 Gh/s. Having in mind that since December/January there are no more graphic cards available and evertyhing is sold out it makes more sence in my opinion that a small part of these Cards are just mining Groestl, mostly through nicehash, hence the single wallet.

If the hasrate was 700 Th/s or Ph/s i would agree with being it Baikals, but "only" 700 Gh/s i would bet on Nicehash and graphic cards.

700 TH/s is unreasonable hashrate for Groestl, it is a waste of power. Hidden miner will gain no increase in profit by using terahashes. But 700 GH/s is just enough to mine most of blocks.

There is a short peak at 551 Gh/s there.. It could be something

on that date the price for Groestl was up too and had a peak, one more evidience in my opinion that it was nicehash mining there or maybe another bigger pool with profit switching. Makes no sense to to put just for 1 day a larger amount of Baikals on it, but makes perfect sense for profit switching gpus.

700 TH/s is not much in the Asics world, whats left for 700 GH/s as you mention.
If its a waste of power one more reason it is not the baikals there. Anyway, i checked now the hashrate for groestle and it was never 700 Gh/s at any time, expect that only peek for 1 day when groestle coin had some peak too. There is absolutly nothing even indicating that there is a larger amount of baikals on the groestl algo.

Beside that, i wish as much as you that the 2 missing algos come out finally, but we should stay serious and objective when investigating or observing whatever.

I have extracted Baikal_pizero_GN.img downloaded from Baikal git, with full dir tree and all filenames, if you need it i will upload it somewhere.

[CNoteFan]

So, I'm confused by the mystic line of code in driver-baikalu.c:

Code:

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

I decided to run some common settings.  These resulting values in no way correlate, even if the controller board was accepting input:

mhz  | ((clk / 10) % 20) + 2      
-------------------------------
150   |    17
200   |    2
250   |    7
300   |    12
350   |    17
400   |    2

Perhaps someone smarter can enlighten me?

Also, I found that the following line seems to be leftover from an earlier generation of miner (PiZero_170605_V1.4.img):

Code:

miner->clock        = msg.data[3] << 1;

But I'm not sure why they are bitwise left shifting it.

[cod3gen]

Got the same results as you did when i checked that. Im not so sure either. Ive tried to send multiple different values just to see if i could get the read data to change at all, but its just none. But then again, this SG Miner covers many of baikal`s miners, including earlier models - which i think this function is for.

Did go over the responses from ST chip, only data field;

Code:

Command BAIKAL_SET_ID
Returns:
Data(0) -> 1
Data(7) -> TEMP

Command BAIKAL_SEND_WORK
Returns:

Command BAIKAL_RESET
Returns:
Data(0) -> 3
Data(7) -> TEMP

Command BAIKAL_GET_INFO
Returns:
Data(1) -> 22 (Firmware ver?) Same return on Giant N so cant be..
Data(2) -> 113 (HW Ver?) Return 81 on Giant N, that may be firmware ver.
Data(3) -> 7 (BBG, whats that?) Return 0 on Giant N
Data(4) -> 220 (Frequency?) Return 210 on Giant N
Data(5) -> 64 (Total count of ASIC chips?) Return 32 on Giant N
Data(6) -> 64, 63 on two boards(Total count of Working ASIC chips?) Return 32 on Giant N
Data(7) -> 114 (Asic version?) returns 81 on Giant N.

It seems to me like they're using a lookup table of clock settings to get actual speeds (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2790982.msg33090927#msg33090927). If true the max speed might be 490, for a 490/440= 11% overclock (vs 440 stock x10).

Unfortunately I couldn't find any sign of such a lookup table in the X10 STM firmware (not to be confused with the image file, which has nothing to do with the actual firmware).

I uploaded the pseudo code of the X10 firmware, which I used for static analysis:

Nice work on decompile the firmware adra12, will look a little bit on it tonight. What software did you use to decompile it?

[adra12]

For obtaining the assembly code I used eabi objdump, and for generating a more readable C pseudo code I used IDA Pro. Keep in mind that the pseudo code is just a reasonable guess.

[cod3gen]

Its been brought to my attention from multiple points that this version will OC Baikal Giant B!
Compiling and using my version it will deliver ~10-15% more hashes on LBRY than stock version based on pool side results. Great news for Giant B owners, which im not..!! :-S

Some changes in code and it will deliver even more. Will add a new post when i`ve had access to a Giant B.

Is the Giant B firmware actually accepting the "baikal_set_options" clock command or is this being achieved in another manner?

Dont know yet, but it probably is. Still waiting for access so i can be sure.

Interesting!

• How many people have confirmed with you that a modified sgminer can overclock a Giant B?
• Did they share their code changes/improvements with you or give you any idea of what they did?
• What method did they use to measure the 10-15% increase in hash rate?
• What do you have in mind for further software changes in order to boost the OC higher?

[goga5]

After the manipulations, my Giant B did not start. I had to return the old sgminer file.

Thank you for this information! 

I was able to use the following command to extract the assembly code:

Code:

objdump -D --target binary -EL -Mforce-thumb -marm -z GX10_V16.bin > GX10_V16.bin.asm

Any chance you could explain how you got the pseudo code from IDA?  I'm running the following version "ida_pro_v7.0_and_hex-rays_decompiler_armx64armx64x86."  I'd like to compare all the firmware images against one another.

Hello! Tell me please, in this way, I get the firmware of my STM chip ?   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2790982.msg29642597#msg29642597

I just created a python script to do it.  Just duplicate one of the python files in /usr/bin/ and paste this code into it.  Then, if successful, then result will reside as /home/baikal/GX10 (Extracted).bin

Code:

Would pay for working x13 ^^

[mindtrip]

I have been tinkering with mine but so far no luck getting the hidden Algo's to work

[rogerthat55]

So I thought I would try it out, the code from https://github.com/cod3gen/sgminer-baikal I first downloaded the current version of OrangePI Zero from Baikal at https://www.baikalminer.com/support04.php and installed it on a new micro SD card, to keep the original safe. Then I followed the steps to install and compile cod3gen versions of sgminer (note: I couldn't even do apt-get install git without first setting up the swap). Now, when I got to the part of "driver-baikal.h" and do changes to #define BAIKAL_CLK_DEF I made it 330 for the X10 (just 10% more than 300). When I finished compiling and started it up, it was reporting the clock at 440MHz, but the hash rate was still normal; no overclock. Just to check, I restored the default pools, and checked all the algorithms, and I didn't see any overclocks.

We need Wolf here

Been trying to get WOLF. on board since Jan. He doesn't want to tell his secrets.

It does not overclock X10 and N. Only Giant B

Great!

Currently, Pascal and Decred is not working on Giant B with this SG Miner. If anyone come up with a solution for that, let me know.

[pikachuy]

So basically this open source project is all the Giant X10/N/B codes merged together by yourself?

Edit: Read the earlier posts.

Hi.

So far as the journey goes with the X10.

1. Overclocking = FAIL
2. Groestle = FAIL

At this present time???

I hope that I am wrong!!!

Would love to have these babies kicking ass again!

thanks

[DigitalCruncher]

So it is time to turn on the oscilloscope to study the protocol between STM and ASICs.

That is to extract firmware from the device. There is already software to write to stm chip on Orange Pi. Why do you need to write new firmware to STM chip?

Can someone test something? From the new x10 Update, once you update, can you extract the new sgminer file. And then place it on a previous x10 version overwriting the sgminer only? Want to see if there were other changes needed or just a new correctly compiled sgminer file for it to work? Since there were no other firmware updates needed for the new algos to work.

Updating sgminer and the STM firmware seems to be all that is needed. Both are obviously found in the new image file using something like 7zip to open the archive, then browse to 1.img/opt/bin/scripta/sgminer and 0.fat/GX10.bin. Copy both to your X10, the GX10 file should go in /media/boot. Rebooting should auto-update the STM firmware.

Remember to do

Code:

chmod +x /opt/scripta/bin/sgminer

after you've replaced the old version.

Just a heads up, if you get an error complaining about a "(", just change the following:

Code:

...
tmpfile = '/home/baikal/GX10 (Extracted).bin'
...

to something w/o the "()" like:

Code:

...
tmpfile = '/home/baikal/extracted.bin'
...

Come on Baikal, release the source code to sgminer!

Just thought of something, since we are provided the GX10.bin file for it to update the firmware on the controller I believe... Any brave souls want to try placing it in the Giant B to see if the Giant B can be turned into a Giant X10? lol

I updated the X10 with the new image, then reflashed the firmware to the GX10_V13 and the new algos still work (old firmware, new sgminer). What a machine the X10 is, 7 algo's and counting, still the best miner around for long term...

UPDATE My Bad, seems the firmware didn't take, tried again after editing update_fw.py and did flash but wouldn't find the devices,

[Grumo]

tried with  2 baikal n, it overclocked to 420 mhz from 200 mhz original. on two baikals one died and i had to reflash it, the other was working fine  at more speed

Hi. Can I run sgminer 5.6.2-BK_cod3gen_MOD it on Baikal mini?? I put it together, but he can't see the Board. 0 devices.

No. Only X10 / B / CN Can be used, even though it includes driver-baikals which seems to be for units like the Mini.

What are those other algos? I looked through this whole thread but didn't see the list. I remember seeing the list posted in the other Baikal x10 thread but not sure which page it was on. The list was from the code of the x10 miner

Groestl and/or Veltor.

I can *do* some hardware design work, forget being interested. Although I'm far from experienced at such.

Hardware is one thing, more interested in firmware at this point, however i haven't been working any more on this after the latest update with more algos.


All limitations seems to be on firmware level. With a better firmware OR knowledge of its features it is possible to both under-/over-volt (X10, B) and under-/over-clock (X10, CN). According to some sources, it seems to be possible to adjust both voltage and frequency at single section (each section contains 8 hashing chips).

Some changes are required for this sgminer to make it work on all algo`s for X10 after latest firmware release, have not looked into it yet.

[wholly]

it would be excellent to have 400Mhz with myriad groestl (Verge)..... only 300W excellent ROI

[wholly]

I dont know if you can do it via the command prompt etc.

However, I did by pulling out the microSD card and overwriting .

It worked a treat!

However, upgrading is not really worth it!! No better returns

[cod3gen]

Guys, I'm seriously a noob at all this.

Is there a way to update the new Nist5 firmware update from Baikal for the X10 without physical access to the machine? You will be saving me a lot of unnecessary time and expense wasted if this is possible.

Thanks a million in advance.

If you can mount the updated image on your machine, you can copy contents from /opt/scripta folder to your miner via SCP. You will also need firmware update file which is located on the FAT partition of the image, i cannot remember which script to use on the miner to update the firmware at the moment - maybe someone else remembers it?

If you don't mind directly editing the miner.conf file for pool settings then only two files are required to be copied:

Updating sgminer and the STM firmware seems to be all that is needed. Both are obviously found in the new image file using something like 7zip to open the archive, then browse to 1.img/opt/bin/scripta/sgminer and 0.fat/GX10.bin. Copy both to your X10, the GX10 file should go in /media/boot. Rebooting should auto-update the STM firmware.

Remember to do

Code:

chmod +x /opt/scripta/bin/sgminer

after you've replaced the old version.

If you want to be able to use the web interface for modifying your pools then a bit more work is required, but I haven't looked into it. After you've copied the new firmware file you can run:

Code:

sudo python /usr/bin/update_fw.py

Its been brought to my attention from multiple points that this version will OC Baikal Giant B!
Compiling and using my version it will deliver ~10-15% more hashes on LBRY than stock version based on pool side results. Great news for Giant B owners, which im not..!! :-S

Some changes in code and it will deliver even more. Will add a new post when i`ve had access to a Giant B.

This is wonderful - thanks for your work here. I’ve got a GiantB and X10 I’m willing to tinker with if we think there’s potential for me here... what changes to the code are we talking about?

[Microcosm]

I’m thinking of hiring an embedded developer to work on the firmware here... further GiantB overclock and x10 algos /overclock. what do you folks think?

You need to add swap space. Solution can be found in readme on github for this miner.

The latest firmware (v1.7) for the stm32f407 (released in PiZero_GX10_180410_V1.2.img) has changes that makes our software non functional.  If people want to run this source, they need to help reverse engineer it or keep the v1.6 firmware from PiZero_GX10_171229_V1.1.img

I've started reverse engineering it, but am not done yet.  I'll gladly share notes with anyone who's interested.

Hi Code3Gen

What is max BAIKAL_CLK_DEF, I can set for Baikal Giant B, I can set 480MHz now, but when I set to 520MHz, my baikal Giant B still 480MHz.

Could you please help me?

The algo doesn’t really work and they have done that on a purpose.

[arnold_mad]

whats the current status for this project reg. X10 ? Can it add features/functions already (like other algos or overclocking) ? Any results that someone could share ?

[keywordsbadge]

It is usually the setting the base clock as fas as this timor working is concerned.

The hidden miners will earn and there will be no increase in the profit.

I have not been working any more on this project since Baikal released two new algo`s. Ive seen some people forking and trying to implement Monero V7 to the project - However i think thats simply not possible.

The hidden miners will earn and there will be no increase in the profit.

Im certain that Baikal is mining atleast one different algo with the X10`s, that we`re not able to.

Anyone with the Giant B can see if this minor is good for them or it works.

[Olimarkhausen]

Hello, I am new to this field and would like to change my Giant B too. I also read that "b" is an FPGA miner trade. have now installed under the operating program "ubuntu" the bfgminer and try to get it to work. My previous approach.
Putty installed for win and accessed with user: root psw: baikal on ubuntu
via kill the sgminer switched off.
then started the bfgminer. I came to this place
It would be nice if some would do together and find a solution.

[Olimarkhausen]

I can confirm the overclocking

I try installing BFGminer as someone pointed out it might work so I take the easiest way but all update or installing become a fail process ''Killedg package lists... 99%/20%''

There is no auto-deletion. About the error look at README.md for compilation errors. BFGminer need correct driver for your baikal device, otherwise it will not work.

As xxALEXANDRxx says, follow the instructions.

Sure, BFGMiner will work, but you will need to create a new set of USB drivers/library to communicate with baikal asic. Obviosly - BFGMiner will not be an easy way.

"cd sgminer-baikal" means that you will open folder named "sgminer-baikal", which is there as long as you have cloned git repository sucessfully. Just a tip: If you`re not sure of what you are doing, i suggest that you do a little research before you mess up your machine, and don`t know how to get it back :-)

Alright so everything when well.

except one thing,it show 480mhz when I put 415 mhz,did you know why? I've read entire thread again and I see 1-2 ppl asking for same thing and nobody seems able to answer to their question about this exact situation.it is predetermined overclock or something else ? it seems strange to me,temperature is the same with +80mhz

thanks

[etoque]

I flash 2 machine I'll try to compare Utility work over 12-24h see if there's difference with my other non-flash baikal

after 2-3 hours at least WU is around 6 while my other miner are more 5.5-5.6. For now share seems more consistent after flashing,will see later.

[cod3gen]

There are some changes needed in sgminer code in order to allow for changing frequency, so for now its preset to 480 mhz, which gives a slight OC.

hello,

temperature still suggest that overclock didn't apply now utility is around 5.2 to 5.7 for (3) flashed machine vs (+10) 5.5 look like it might stabilize more with time. supernova suck at verifying stats,this site is bad as 2014 lol

[etoque]

utility falls to 5.5 too,with temperature same I don't think there's any overclocking really apply on it.

Whats if baikal just told us truth and its really not possible overclock those miner ?

Can't believe 20% rise to clock can't get up the temperature even 1% greater,they are literally same.impossible any overclockk have apply,physic say it must be hotter lol.

I believe there is no pool paying according heat radiated from miners, so what is pool saying about hashrate?

[xxALEXANDRxx]

Can you show the start page of your baikal?

[etoque]

I think pool show good information from baikal sgminer. but its hard to tell if I really got an gain in reward since reward itself move so much day to day.

some point out that sgminer and pool tiself might show correct value but physically its not overclock at all it seems

physic and science tell rise in clock result of gain in caloric heat that I don't have actually. 20% rise should definitively be visible.

So at this point overclocking on giant B is false imo

Don`t think so much about wattage and temp, the fact is that if you`re seeing higher hashrate on pool side, then your Giant B is overclocked!

what if poolside take good information from sgminer baikal ? share rate move alot intra day or day to day due to nicehash miner movement and luck.

I find it wrong that 20% gain in clock cannot result of any increase in heat,strongly suggest that overclock didn't apply physically but only on software part

[xxALEXANDRxx]

Just config 2 miner (or and reconf) to mine 1 coin on same pool to different wallets. After 24 hours compare the income indicators.

Pools dont take that information from your miner and miner does not send such information towards pools, they calculate that them selfs :-)

Baikal dont have the orginal open sources on github, if you have compiled the version i have on github and followed every direction you should be copy back the orginal: cp /opt/scripta/bin/sgminer_ORG /opt/scripta/bin/sgminer.

If you need to reflash you can download images from Baikal`s github and then flash those files on a new SD card. If you have Giant X10 its all here: https://www.baikalminer.com/down/giantx10.pdf - Same procedure for Giant B and N, but different images.

Login to your miner,
screen -x sgminer
ctrl+c to stop screen session
cp /opt/scripta/bin/sgminer_ORG /opt/scripta/bin/sgminer
confirm overwrite.

If you get write error you need to redo the process, because there is a script that automatically starts sgminer again if it detects its shutdown.

Hi guys,
I wanted to point out that, after completing the overclocking procedure and setting "400" as value,
I have been testing the mining on the pascal algorithm for about a week.
The result is the same as that obtained without overclocking,
so I communicate that overclocking does not work for Pascal

can you show us your results?

Many thanks to cod3gen.

@BlaCKBloOD how about pool side results? Are there increased hashrate there?

[BlaCKBloOD]

@BlaCKBloOD how about pool side results? Are there increased hashrate there?

Too many factors there. Pool luck etc., I will see later. We need someone with 2 Baikals Giant B. One OC and another not.

Luck does not affect reported hashrate on pool, that affects your earnings :-)

[dez82]

Just to clarify,

If I update my Giant N with this, I will get no overclock and no new algo's?

Good on cod3gen for open sourcing the firmware and STM for the miner, but I just can't tell if there's any actual benefit on the dogsh!t that is my GIant N miner.

Sorry if I sound ignorant, but I'm a miner, not a programmer and if I use this update, it's going to take me about 2 hours of pissing about, so I want to make sure I'm actually chasing something I'll benefit from.

From reading the thread, it looks like the B and X10 are the only ones which actually benefit in a real change.

Hoping someone can clarify.

The only miner that benefit from this is Giant B. It works with Giant N and Giant X10, but it does not provide any OC or new algo`s to either one of those.

So is X13 one of the new available algorithms? That's the only one I'm interested in. I tried reading back 3 or 4 pages, but I'm not seeing if it's included. Thanks for your hard work, this looks awesome! I love the interface of the Baikal miners. They work great as a compliment to Awesome miner. (Which I use) Again, thank you!

None of B/N/X10 is capable of X13 algo.

BAIKAL A2000 include X13 algorithm 

[goga5]

Greetings to all! Two Baikal "B", one in the dispersal of another is not. when testing during the day, the income is identical. returned everything back ... I tested it with "nicehash", as on one in the pool (Lbry), the hashtet periodically jumped to 50 GH/s, and also jumped on the other "B".

[goodmancz]

Hello!!
I tested cod3gen moded sgminer, now on BAIKAL B is all working, but is it possible to push more frequency than 480Mhz i tried compile with driver-baikal.h line 18,25 (500) (520), but always was on 480Mhz..
BTW thanks to cod3gen!!!    

[BlaCKBloOD]

And For Baikal X10 We have any news for make a Overclock or for implement new ago Those miners have a FPGA chips...

Baikal X10 and Baikal B is not the same ? Somebody saw chips ? Somebody try to change SDCard viceversa between Baikal B and X ?

Eh. Yeah, I already have that one and the A900's. X10's mining X13 would be awesome though if someone were to crack that egg, I'd be all over that. Well, I guess the positive side to this is that there are no new X13 miners making the ones still out there more valuable. If someone does figure out how to use X10s for mining X13 algo I definitely want to stay abreast of that situation though, which is why I asked. It would seem doable since the X10 does a few algos in common with the Giant+ etc. I'll be watching here with interest.

Does anyone have any experience with Baikal repair service ?   Four of my Baikal's went down from an electrical storm .  Three are Giant B and 1 Giant X .  Is it worth the effort to repair them ?    I know the shipping will be steep .

If you have any others you could try swapping a known good Orange Pi/controller board with one of the ones that don't work. If only the Orange Pi or controller board died you're in luck since those are easy to replace (Baikal sells them separately if you contact them). If the hash boards died you may not be able to repair them depending on if the ASICs themselves fried of if it was any of the other components.

We are committed to the Baikal machine cracking, we have been studying the firmware for a long time, and have made some progress. If a friend wants to join our research team, we are very welcome to contact us.

Yea it depends on what's wrong hey.
If they go on, but don't hash and you can't access the Dashboard, but can ping it = you need to take the SD card out and give it a set IP.
If they go on, but don't hash and you can't access the Dashboard and can NOT ping it = you need to reflash the SD card or replace it with a new one.
If they go on and all 3 lights light up during startup you might be in luck - boards are fine and the problem lies elsewhere.
If they go on, but no blue lights light up during startup - there's something wrong with the board.

I'm currently sitting with one hash board which I cannot get to work for the life of me. I've fixed a few but this one... Disassembled, cleaned, went through it with a magnifying glass, applied new heatpaste.
I just can't get the blue light to go on during startup. It goes solid when the other 2 boards hash (tho itself doesn't hash).

If they don't go on at all... Something is most likely fried - should be able to see it when disassembling.
Eh, but it's a pain in the arse to send back with fees - and with the current profitability, I donno if it's worth the money sending back :/

Were there any hidden algorithms on Giant B like there was on the X10?

[reactgirolles6]

The hash rate has increased globally in the autumn season of 2017.

[goga5]

Nothing works! I know which byte is responsible for the value of "400" in the file "sgminer". so, when editing this value on any other, the work of the miner does not change! This is all a dummy, but maybe on the model "X10" will work as I tried on the model "B". I can edit the wishing "sgminer" model file (X10) for verification. See below photo...

[goga5]

You did not understand! I'm on the official sgminer file, the Baikal B model, I change the byte which is responsible for the frequency and without result. Although, after a bit of testing, I removed the conclusion that the parameter "Hashrate av" is slightly overstated, but the "Hashrate 5s" parameter remains the same. Most likely, I will need to play with the other digits in the "sgminer" file. and I do not do any updates that are described here! If there is someone who wants to test Baikal X10, then please ....

[goga5]

which file you have changed these values?

[goga5]

You can send your "sgminer" file and I will change it, for example, I will change the frequency from 300 to 400 and after you check for changes.

[goga5]

Check for a change and report the results. sgminer Baikal B - 100000MHz, Baikal X10 - 50MHz.

X10: https://yadi.sk/d/VGHJcSkk3a2DpS

[cod3gen]

Overclocking the baikal B works 42-> 46 g / s. Is it possible to accelerate by 15% or more? Cod3gen I made various changes (as written above), but they did not work.

Yepp, that should be possible on Giant B, i believe there are some members that have done this. I don`t have any B`s to confirm, or check what needs to be changed.

If you digg into sgminer miner code i have on github, you will understand that you cannot change only the byte that sets "400" mhz. By default baikal is using static settings.

who tried to increase the voltage? I do not have a power supply with voltage regulation. If anyone has any thoughts on this matter?

Increases in voltage from 0.8v to 0.95v at Baikal B, the change was only in heating, it became much stronger!!!

[nodulelibyane7]

The return number are static but the display number is not sometimes.

I dont know what the problem but my hashrate aren't stable,I have alot of drop from pool side and reward side ,and since beggining, without any malfonction visible... I kind start suspecting the Baikal B flash overclocking,new firmware have maybe malware to mine with your machine...can't be that unlucky lol

I tried the version of the @cod3gen for mining the LBRY for baikal b. Based on the pool's performance, I concluded that the pool saw a 15-20% GH/s increase in fact.

But this is probably not true for other coins. For example Pascal - the version of the @cod3gen - did not work (although @cod3gen wrote earlier).

How to do correct by points?

Codegen, quick question.  Were the sgminer files in your github just a fork of the main sgminer and you added in pieces you were able to glean from walking the baikal bin or were you able to gather what sgminer files were used to compile the baikal bin?

Hi,

I have a baikal giant N + miner, bought secondhand, but i do not have the

I tryed baikal and Baikal, but those are not correct.
So i need the right firmware to put on a sdcard to get it
original again.
Mabey someone can make a backup and upload it somewhere
so i can use it to enter my miner again.

So i'm in need of original software for the sdcard

its not working, tested a month over 20 machine BKB and ain't see difference into reward. Yes pool and bkb software do see more hashrate but nothing more for reward,then I start seeing drop in hashrate... So I flash again to put original firmware and no more hashrate drop(suspect firmware could possibly stole your hashrate)

So right now im asking to myself, Whats next for BKB ? Not even 1 years old and seems its about to get outdated. Vcash is dead,pascal changing algo soon,library is either dead or gonna change algo too eventually, and all other coin that you can mine have better competitive miner....


owner of BKB, We have to do something.

Hi friends.

Long story short!

After we pushed out the baikal miner version two of multi-algo miner that can support X11/X13/X14/X15/Quark/Qubit, it exicted many mining players.


Since that, we spend many times on perfecting the updating scheme Now, it's done!

Interesting fact. The boards for x10 and Giant B are the same. Is it possible to make X10 from Giant B ?? What is the difference?

Hi friends.

Long story short!

After we pushed out the baikal miner version two of multi-algo miner that can support X11/X13/X14/X15/Quark/Qubit, it exicted many mining players.


Since that, we spend many times on perfecting the updating scheme Now, it's done!


Detailed information please check with the below links:

Haahaa! Dude.. welcome in 2018! You quoted an announcement posted in 2016 (for older Multi-Algo-Miners by Baikal)!


Something different: I saw peaple were talking about mining Keccak with an X10. Do you think this will be released one day? Or just rumors?

Any progress on overclocking the BK-X? I mean so far, as I read, it did not work.

[ripley426]

hi, I have 2 N+ and 2 N70 new and I would like to update with this firmware. ..as soon as I can copy N70 original executable sgminer

[astraleureka]

if you have to pay for a firmware its 99% scam

Usually, yes, but there is that 1% option, and in this case it is true. The BK-X can do Groestl as well as Keccak, and can be overclocked (although not very much / it is unstable and I don't recommend it)

I was going to ask for some help with my x10, i just have the 5 basic algorithms and was trying to figure out what can be done.

I would just mine Qubit with it, consistently the best option.

• Custom X10 firmware w/groestl & skein2

Sent You some merit for free firmware.
It slowed down my usual recent time algo (Skein) in interface as well as at pool. Didn't checked other algos speed yet. Could be that I'm still on old image without Nist5 and X11Gost algorithms.
Skein2 was not working for me at the only one pool that accepts skein2 hash. Maybe pool problem, couldn't check with another one because there is none. I think that even if I collected Skein2 coins (Woodcoin), I couldn't exchange them, lack of exchanges too.
Groestl is working with the speed of almost 7 GH/s shown at web interface, and pool is fluctuating around this number. I'll let it work for one day and see the average. Looks like profitability is close to other X10 profitable algos with my present speed (slowness).

[pikachuy]

Hey Chup,

Of course it's not working. tboy32c mentioned that sgminer posted is not working with official firmware.
You should go back through this thread to find how to update firmware using custom.bin.
(I'll make it easier for You - media/boot is the place where during reboot X10 is looking for firware update file)

[MiningKH]

Hi guys. You did a great job here. For months now I have been looking for the possibility to overclock the GX10 and to update further Algos. Follow this thread from the beginning. For some things that you are doing here I do not really look through  ..... how do you update the file right now so you have Groestl?
And did you know that you can not update the GX10 back to the IMG1.1 if you have already updated it to the IMG1.2? My GX10 miners will not work anymore. Baikal sucks.
No word on the good English

As a matter of fact, my BK10 is downclocked for 1/3 with this firmware. And Groestl is not more profitable because BK28 is already doing it.
Process is not straightforward, and all steps You can find in this thread. Afterwards, changing pools and algorithms is manual, with change of miner.conf file.
Right now, not worthy.

Right now, not worthy.

Yea, i know. but for the sake of interest, I would like to try that.

Hello chup & tboy32c,

I can confirm that the Groestl can be mined.

BKLU    0    Groestl    22 °C    64    300MHz    2.304 Gh/s    2.307 Gh/s     
BKLU    1    Groestl    22 °C    64    300MHz    2.304 Gh/s    2.307 Gh/s        
BKLU    2    Groestl    23 °C    64    300MHz    2.304 Gh/s    2.307 Gh/s

How can we set the hashrate higher?

Cheers

P.s. how can I post images for evidence?

[flexmeister]

Can't see that your miner is actually hashing on the pool.

After restarting you need to run sudo ./mbcx10 </dev/null &>/dev/null &

This will apply all the required changes to mine MBC and change the clock speed. Once done can you confirm the clock speed and hashrate?

Greetings,

After about a month of trial and error every day have finally managed to get the X10/BK28 to mine MBC.

Nice work! How long have you guys had these running?  

tboy32c; Didn't get Skein2 to work.. Groestlcoin works. This firmware, and or software makes the miner a lot slower, roughly it mines at 7-8 Gh/s on pool side. +10 Merit!

flexmeister; Didn't even bother to check if it works or not. Too high fees.

Not to be an asshole, but i have done a lot of work on making Baikals sgminer open source. Make sure to post link to your github or any other that includes any of the source code with changes that where orginally provided by me. This is licenced under GPL3.

[PS3Miner]

@flexmeister:
Honestly speaking.
The setting shows "MBC" -> Mirco Bitcoin but the video shows Groestl, hmm?
What is the propper miner setting for which coin?

[tboy32c]

It slowed down my usual recent time algo (Skein) in interface as well as at pool.
Groestl is working with the speed of almost 7 GH/s shown at web interface, and pool is fluctuating around this number.

As a matter of fact, my BK10 is downclocked for 1/3 with this firmware.

This firmware, and or software makes the miner a lot slower, roughly it mines at 7-8 Gh/s on pool side.

Thank you for the speed confirmations. I attempted to replicate the behavior of the original firmware as much as possible, but obviously came up short somewhere. Besides fixing the firmware to bring the speed up to stock rates, there are likely a few more optimizations that might bring it up to, say, 110% stock speed. I don't have the time required to work on this at the moment, and I'm not sure when I'll get that time.

Skein2 was not working for me at the only one pool that accepts skein2 hash. Maybe pool problem, couldn't check with another one because there is none. I think that even if I collected Skein2 coins (Woodcoin), I couldn't exchange them, lack of exchanges too.

Didn't get Skein2 to work.

Now that I think of it I may not have tested Skein2 on a pool. I may have just compared the hash output to what the expected hash should have been and saw it matched Skein2. I concur with chup that it probably isn't worth investigating since there doesn't seem to be much coin support for it anyway. I apologize for advertising Skein2 support originally when it wasn't fully tested.

Nice work! How long have you guys had these running? 

Personally since about May, on a single hash board. At that time I needed to transition to another unrelated project and promptly forgot all about crypto for a few months. flexmeister wasn't the collaborator I was originally referring to and I'm guessing only for a few days for them since their solution seems to use the same firmware & sgminer that I posted, if I'm not mistaken. Here's a screenshot of the Groestlcoin network hash rate around that time:

Please post the source changes that you've made.

...are the algorithms on-chip implemented in a way where they can be decoupled or reordered? This would be similar to how Baikal implemented their X11 chips and is what allows them to also support algorithms such as Quark, Qubit, Myr-Groestl, plain Groestl etc.

...The BK-X can do Groestl as well as Keccak, and can be overclocked (although not very much / it is unstable and I don't recommend it)

astraleureka would you care to share more of your knowledge on the X10? Were you contributing to the large jumps in Groestlcoin hash rate earlier in the year ? Any other algos you've found? How much of an overclock were you able to achieve?

After about a month of trial and error every day have finally managed to get the X10/BK28 to mine MBC.
...
The only catch is you have to use the included mining pool which has a 20% fee for all the hard work that went into this.

flexmeister does this mean you were able to fix the hash rate and boost it up to stock speeds? My custom firmware runs slower than stock so if you found a solution I'd be happy to hear how you fixed it.

codeg3n and tboy32c welcome to contact me for sharing of rewards as they have been invaluable to developing the soltuion

Thanks for the acknowledgement. I appreciate the offer but I'll politely decline. I think I'd feel kinda dirty accepting a share, but thank you regardless.

[astraleureka]

@flexmeister it would be nice if you would disclose what actions your golang binaries are taking as well. I haven't run them in a sandbox to see what they do yet, but being golang they're a little hard to disassemble.

...are the algorithms on-chip implemented in a way where they can be decoupled or reordered? This would be similar to how Baikal implemented their X11 chips and is what allows them to also support algorithms such as Quark, Qubit, Myr-Groestl, plain Groestl etc.

Thanks for releasing the source, will check it out =)

I haven't been responsible for any large hashrate spikes, I don't even own any Baikal equipment personally. My experience is limited to disassembly of the sgminer binaries (mostly before cod3gen released their work) as well as the stm32 firmware. A friend of mine did make changes to their X10 with the advice I recommended - with watercooling, they were able to get Qubit up to about 14GH/s before stability issues.

Someone must have made a lot of $$$ on groestlcoin lol

If I may ask, how did you change the STM32 firmware?

[PS3Miner]

Hello flexmeister,
in your package is a file "mbx10" included. I can imagine for further support you should explain, why the file was as "elf" compiled?
It seems, you could find out a way, to inject somehow a code at runtime, in order to increase the hash rate. Unfortunaely you implemented an IP Checker to ensure the usage of your mining pool. It's not serous work. Please provide the scource code for more trust in your work / behaviour.
Cheers

Hi cod3gen,

in the file "algorithm.c" there is a mistake. Can´t create the sgminer file.
Line >>>1607 and 1611<<< there is a double.

And in file "driver-baikal.h" line >>>56<<< is missing a ")"
After fix that, it works and create the sgminer file.


Goes on  ..... sgminer does not work .... after 2-3 sec the miner always crashes.

Spending a lot of time poking at the miner. You'll need to have a decent background in software & hardware.

Nice work! How long have you guys had these running? 

Personally since about May, on a single hash board. At that time I needed to transition to another unrelated project and promptly forgot all about crypto for a few months.

Too bad you did not share.... 

I had just spent several months of my free time reverse engineering with the collaborator so a few months of slightly higher profit mining helped make me feel a little better about trading a small part of my life away for it.

No luck on Keecak? I guess you would answer no anyhow.. 

Looks like I have a comment in the firmware for keccak saying "experimental" so I don't think I got it working, although I don't remember putting much time into figuring out why not.

Do I understand it correctly that DiamondGroestl is added, not Groestl and not SKEIN2.

I can only vouch for Groestl with the software I posted.

Rollback is working.

Store the backup file into media/boot and reboot your device. Ensure the filename begins with "G"...bin
Cheers

unfortunately didn't work. so i decided to reflash sd card with org. image v1.1 and/or v1.2 - still not working. hashboards are showing only red leds :-(
i've already trieded to change sd cards and orange pi - doesn't matter, hashboards don't work- leds red.

Wellcome to the club of bricked X10s.

witch GX10.bin? original one? and witch update_fw.py ? meanwhile i've changed psu, sd card, hashboard.... looks like control board is defective

From these quotes I'm not sure if there are actual "bricking" problems or if people are just having trouble with the steps to change firmware. I will confirm that I am able to rollback firmware from the firmware image I posted. If ONLY the red LEDs are showing, then that should mean the control board is in firmware update mode. If the red LEDs are on and you see a blue flashing LED, then the control board is in RUN mode but sgminer has not given it work to do (either sgminer died or the pools are all down, etc). If you see blue solid LEDs then it's hashing. If you don't see any LEDs then your device is not powered .

If you run update_fw.py and get:

Code:

dfu-util: No DFU capable USB device available

you can try editing the update_fw.py script by commenting out (adding a "#" at the start of the line) the last couple lines:

Code:

#update_firmware()
#exit_dfumode()

Run the modified script and it should have reset the STM and left it in firmware update mode. Then run:

Code:

lsusb | grep 0483

And the result sholuld be this:

Code:

Bus 007 Device 002: ID 0483:df11 STMicroelectronics STM Device in DFU Mode

(the "device" number will vary)
If instead you get:

Code:

ID 0483:5740 STMicroelectronics STM32F407

we'll have to go from there.

I can not confirm rolling back to 1.2. If i try to, controler board stays in DFU mode (red LEDs). With your custom firmware the device is running fine, but with lower hashrate. (3,5Gh @skein).

I did those steps:

Code:

./opt/scripta/startup/miner-stop.sh
python /usr/bin/update_fw.py
python reset_stm.py
lsusb | grep 0483

[tboy32c]

Here is what I get after commenting exit from DFU Mode in update_fw.py and running it with v1.2 GX10.bin:

Not getting any STM devices in that list is pretty odd. Obviously if you haven't tried you should completely power cycle the miner and try again. In order to determine if the problem lies with the OrangePi or STM you could do this:

• Remove the OrangePi from the controller board (important). Leave the Ethernet connected.
• Use a USB cable to connect the USB device connector on the controller board with the USB A host port on the Orange Pi
• Use another USB cable to connect the Orange Pi's micro USB port to any other powered device's USB host port (to power the Orange Pi)
• Run the lsusb | grep 0483 command again.

A working setup will show the STM device on Bus 006 (not 007 like when the OrangePi is seated on the controller board directly). If this time you DO get something, then the USB port on the Pi pin headers isn't working, but the STM probably is. If you still get nothing, you could swap controller boards with another Baikal Giant miner (if you have another) and try again.

What was the last firmware you successfully flashed (the one I posted? flexmeister's? One of the stock images?)

At least the STM shows up for you! That's better than the problem chup has.

Is 0483:5740 STMicroelectronics STM32F407 the result you have currently? If so, are you also saying you do not see the blue LED at all? IF the STM has my firmware, AND it is in RUN mode (as your last result would indicate), AND sgminer is not running (as indicated by your previous post where you ran the miner-stop script), then the blue LED should be flashing (especially if you also ran the reset_stm script as previously indicated).

Try this next if you would:

• Put the desired .bin firmware file in /media/boot
• Make sure the filename starts with a capital G
• Run md5sum /media/boot/G*.bin    -what is the result?
• Run python /usr/bin/update_fw.py   & please post the entire output of that command

Hey MiningKH,

could you finally compile the source code from github of cod3gen?
Is the compiled SW recognizing the hasboard?
If no which FW are you using right now?

Are you tested other coins regarding the OC?

It would be great if you could provide a brief guide on how to get it done.

Cheers

Hi, FW from toby32c. Sgminer of cod3gen from github. I'll put a downloadlink here in the next few days. Because the sgminer of github does not work right away. I checked all the files individually and changed them if necessary.

And unfortunately it is not possible to clock the miner over 390Mhz. no idea why.

[tboy32c]

For clarification to anyone who is thinking their miner is overclocked or underclocked by looking only at the hash rate sgminer reports:

As defined by the baikal_hash_done() function in sgminer:driver-baikalu.c:

Code:

[Displayed Hash Rate (in GHz)] = [clock (in MHz)] * [ASIC count] * [ALGO modifier] / 1000000

Note: clock is hardcoded in sgminer (see #define BAIKAL_CLK_DEF in sgminer:driver-baikal.h)

Code:

[ALGO modifier] (defined by Baikal in sgminer) =
X11/QUARK/QUBIT/NIST/MYRIAD_GROESTL/GROESTL: 120
SKEIN2: 62
X11GOST: 16

example (single hashboard):
clock = 300MHz
ASICs = 64
ALGO = Groestl, so modifier = 120
therefore 300 * 64 * 120 / 1000000 = 2.304 (GHz)

Note that the hash rate value you see reported by sgminer is not based on what the hash rate actually is, but rather what it should be (given all your ASICs are working and everything is stock). Imagine you did a 200% hardware overclock without any software changes - sgminer would still report the original hash rate because it would still be using the same hardcoded BAIKAL_CLK_DEF, see the same number of ASICs, and be on the same algorithm (i.e. the only inputs to the hash rate calculation as explained above). If you want, it's trivial to modify the web interface code or sgminer to display an arbitrary hash rate but it does not mean you're actually getting that hash rate. sgminer does not get any direct feedback from the STM controller regarding the actual hash rate. If you really want to know your true hash rate, check the pool you're mining at. They'll use the number of accepted shares vs. time & difficulty to calculate your actual hash rate.

BAIKAL_CLK_DEF is sent to the STM, but it does not actually set the hashing speed.

[tboy32c]

And unfortunately it is not possible to clock the miner over 390Mhz. no idea why.

Take a look:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2790982.msg33090927#msg33090927

It's a bug in sgminer. It should be something like

Code:

((clk - 200) / 10) + 2

instead. However it doesn't really matter (for the reasons mentioned in my last post) so I didn't bother correcting it in the version I posted.

Aarrg. F****k. You´r right toby32c. The sgminer shows 390Mhz and 9Gh Hashrate. But on Poolside shows only 7Gh (stock with you FW).
Now i have only change the hash-done value from 120 to 190. Sgminer shows 12.4GH at 340Mhz. But not on the poolside. Only 7GH.

A big thanks to cod3gen and toby32c. You've done an awesome job.

Like tboy32c says, does not mather what you change on definitions in code, the hashrate output is only "static"/estimated value based on compiled clock speed.

Hey guys, I admit, I am semi-noob, I have a Baikal X running at a host, my question is, can I implement the new modified FW with winscp and SSH only? Is there a guide on how to or do I just upgrade like I would upgrade a FW?

Any help is appreciated, atm I dont even make what i need to pay the host and being a small miner, hard times

Thanks all for your work here!

I've found something in a discord channel:

To overclock your Baikal BK-X, try this command in Ubuntu sudo dfu-util -a 0 -d 0483:df11 -s 0x08000000:leave -U /home/baikal/tmp.bin

someone dares?

[astraleureka]

That would just copy the firmware from the STM microcontroller.

[MiningKH]

I think we need a revised FW for the STM board. the x10 runs with the FW of tobi32c at about 7 GH at 300Mhz. Normally the x10 runs with 10GH at 300Mhz. So it can only be on the FW of STM board and not on SGminer itself.

I have already written BK-G 28 STM-FW to BK-X which Groestl has made it possible to mine.
It was successfully mined by Groestl.

Next, I will try to replace all IMGs and check if it works with BK-X

Hi guys,
here the files of BK-G28 Miner. Maybe helpful.

tested.

cod3gen sgminer + BK-G28 STM-FW = OK (No change hash rate. Groestl about 7GH/s)

BK-G28 IMG to BK-X = NG (No Device running)

cod3gen sgminer + BK-G28 STM-FW + BK-G28 IMG

Hello, just realise some of my BKB aren't same board version,I have 3 version; 1.42 / 6.1 / 7(most common), is there any more ?

Interested to know if someone have already reverse engineered those miner to change clock or add algo.

I can also give screenshot of the 6.1 board if anyone interested

Thanks

[vegasguy]

Ok.. can someone make this clear? Did we get the bk-x to mine grotestel? Does it over lock with the new firmware?

Yes, the BK-X10 Miner can mine Groestlcoin at 7 GH/s with the mod from here.

[vegasguy]

Thanks. I hope this makes my miner profitable again

i followed the steps, but compiling failed..

is this even profitable anymore since the g28 is out..?
probably not worth the time..
but thx anyway

Hi

Is there a guide to installing all 3 components for the X10.

Barely worth it ~$3/day BP

I want to try this but how can I install it? I have x10 asic devices. Please someone share a guide to installing all 3 components for the X10.

[TGJ]

Does this work for Giant B?

[arnold_mad]

where can I get the modified version for x10 ?

Any cool stuff we can do with the BK X and the new firmware? Any mods available?

[chup]

As BK-X10 became non-profitable, I started tinkering with them. But, with latest baikalminer image (2.2) I can't compile sgminer from cod3gen github.
Reporting problem with libraries:

Code:

  CCLD     sgminer
/usr/bin/ld: submodules/libusb-bk/libusb/.libs/libusb-1.0.a(libusb_1_0_la-core.o): relocation R_ARM_THM_MOVW_ABS_NC against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
submodules/libusb-bk/libusb/.libs/libusb-1.0.a: error adding symbols: Bad value

Helping hand anyone?

[astraleureka]

Add

Code:

-fPIC

to the build options?

[chup]

Add

Code:

-fPIC

Tried that first with no success. THX anyhow.

[MarcusCrypto]

any news for x13 on Baikal X10?

[astraleureka]

Not possible, algorithms needed doesn't exist on the chips.

[etoque]

anyone have reverse engineer those miner yet? Its electronic, sure a mod can be made. share your knowledge world !

Unfortunately, no.



@tboy32c
can you tell us what you changed in the code for mining Groestl?
