Hi All Issues with my Antminer S9... Is one of my boards fried? With latest firmware Fri Nov 17 17:57:49 CST 2017 I do Not see a Hardware Version and BMminer version and zero hashing on any of the boards When I load up firmware version from April 2017 I see 2 boards and they hash but not on antpool only on nicehash. Kernel log below... Check chain[5] PIC fw version=0x00
chain[5] PIC need restore ...
Error of set PIC FLASH addr: addr_H=3(0) addr_L=0(0) on Chain[5]
Error of set PIC FLASH addr: addr_H=3(0) addr_L=0(0) on Chain[5]

Thanks in advance for your insight. Regards Bliksem |

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

Common problem on the 1117 firmware. Roll it back to an older official firmware and your problem should go away.
|
Stop buying industrial miners, running them at home, and then complaining about the noise.

^This. But, it seems like you have already have tried flashing the older firmware. name: Antminer-S9-all-201704270135-autofreq-user-Update2UBI-NF.tar.gz sha-1: 0515029015ad8dcedb185367fc5f829851dc65ed With latest firmware Fri Nov 17 17:57:49 CST 2017 I do Not see a Hardware Version and BMminer version and zero hashing on any of the boards
When I load up firmware version from April 2017 I see 2 boards and they hash but not on antpool only on nicehash.
It sounds like at least the other 2 boards should work now. Try unplugging the faulty board and see if the miner will hash natively using the other two. |

The interesting thing is that there is zero hashing with the 1117 firmware and with April firmware only 2 boards work. What other previous versions do you recommend I try out?
Scared to fiddle in case they totally stop working.

I wouldn't try any other firmware besides the one from April. There's probably something wrong with the third board. |

Guys, April firmware does not help me, still Error of set PIC FLASH addr... I tried completely different PSUs, I left only one hashing board connected to controller and to PSU, but still nothing. Please help me somebody...  |

Probably something wrong with the hashboard.
You can always try using the package to fix fw upgrade, flash it to SD card, move the jumper pin and flash using microSD. (Flashing the april firmware of course).

Please help me somebody... It might be the control board is bricked since, the April firmware doesn't work the only way you can do now is to reflash the whole control board to fix the issue.

Doesn't look like this. I can log in to web interface, I see the kernel Log, I can reboot the miner etc. |

I see this issue almost daily. Usually rolling back the firmware will let you run while ignoring the issue.
If a board is zero you can replace the PIC with one from a spare board if you want to. Bitmain doesn't seem to sell spare PICs.
I have also seen the issue happen because of a faulty ribbon cable. Try replacing the ribbon cable to the board giving you the issue.
If you get the 413 error when flashing firmware, use a microSD to flash manually.

Hello BliksemMiner I am Rainer and I am also a miner with an ANTMINER S9 of 13.50T and I have the same problem you have or had: Check chain [5] PIC fw version = 0x00
chain [5] PIC need restore ...
Error of set PIC FLASH addr: addr_H = 3 (0) addr_L = 0 (0) on Chain [5]
Error of set PIC FLASH addr: addr_H = 3 (0) addr_L = 0 (0) on Chain [5]
Error of set PIC FLASH addr: addr_H = 3 (0) addr_L = 0 (0) on Chain [5]
Error of set PIC FLASH addr: addr_H = 3 (0) addr_L = 0 (0) on Chain [5]
Error of set PIC FLASH addr: addr_H = 3 (0) addr_L = 0 (0) on Chain [5]
Error of set PIC FLASH addr: addr_H = 3 (0) addr_L = 0 (0) on Chain [5]
Error of set PIC FLASH addr: addr_H = 3 (0) addr_L = 0 (0) on Chain [5]
Error of set PIC FLASH addr: addr_H = 3 (0) addr_L = 0 (0) on Chain [5]
After restore: chain [5] PIC fw version = 0x00
I would like to know how you did to solve the failure, since when updating the FIRMWARE it is not coencted but when changing for an anterior it only connects with two (2) cards and lowers the HASH rate. You can help me please, if it is possible for you to send me the firmware you used or still present the flaw. Atte. Rainer |

Sounds like your PIC error is only on one board. Flashing the April firmware let you ignore that error and continue to mine with the other two boards. If you want to, you can replace the PIC on the faulty board with one from a spare board if you want to. Bitmain doesn't seem to sell spare PICs. Also, try replacing the ribbon cable to the board giving you the issue. |

Where can I find the April firmware? |

it's exactly the same problem as with my T9 +, see my subject;) In your case, I am 99.9% sure that with the PicKit3 you bring back to life your card! 1: extract the HEX file from a functioning card 2: the reinjected into the card that does not work (FW 0X00) Ps : the PicKit3, the cost is ~_ 25USD  |

Have you tried to flash it with s9_fix_upgrade.tar.gz first before you flash it with other firmware? It might solve the issue. But if it doesn't work you can try the april firmware just found it from here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3474618.msg36124081#msg36124081it's exactly the same problem as with my T9 +, see my subject;) In your case, I am 99.9% sure that with the PicKit3 you bring back to life your card! 1: extract the HEX file from a functioning card 2: the reinjected into the card that does not work (FW 0X00) Ps : the PicKit3, the cost is ~_ 25USD I agree with this I found his thread from here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5032987.0 flashing the hashboard with working hex file might solve the issue. |
