where's this "fantastic" "HF-Engineer" ?  disapear too ? 
LOL;  indeed....   

Left the company. Check out the team on the web site - he is no longer listed.

He was listed under what name? Can't have been HF-Engineer....

Phil

Was he really on the team page before?

Well if they don't release something soon I'll just post the preview firmware I've got. I'm sick of coding away on something almost no one can use

Thank you.

Please, include a backdoor that will tell you what % of the global hashrate is coming from what version of your firmware...

Fast way to prove to yourself that your code is not sitting unused only because they don't release it

Its very strange that Icedrill has some fw 0.3 since weeks and HF isnt moving at all regarding their usual customers.

Wow, they gave you the firmware in a package to update? If so, and you didn't sign anything receiving it, please post it. Many here with problems, including me, would be eternally grateful for something that at least has the _potential_ to solve problems.
Do you also got FW 0.2 so we can restore FW in case of problems with 0.3?
If you decide to post it, I would like to offer my help documenting the upgrade procedure. I wrote this babyjet off 3 months ago, so I might as well brick it for the greater good.

Icedrill, yeah, honestly, this doesn't surprise me, nor do I think it's strange. In fact it seems explainable very well....

Thx man,

I'm curious if they dare to cancel the contract with you too if you do.

[-ck]

I signed no nda. I never do.

[CurcO]

Awsome Ckolivas, then if no NDA, and no response from HF can you post what you have I'm sure they will be willing testers for the FW.

thx again!

Very non portable code (not mine), minimal instructions, comes with all attendant warnings blah blah, but here if you're brave:

Looks like it won't call that binary, readserial. Did you try this from the RPi image, or your own Linux? 32bit? 64bit?
Edit:

Firmware Update had an error.  Please retry or report to HashFast Support.

There is a joke somewhere in that line.

[CurcO]

From a netbook running Ubuntu 13.10 32 bit

[-ck]

As I said, non portable.

Code:

readserial: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=0x85db199f9be6d916a45380d5e0e4fad32edc3719, not stripped

64 bit binary

Edit: What ckolivas said

Thanx man

I can confirm it works okay for me on 64-bit linux.  Same hashrate/stability as before.

Wish I could tweak the voltage, grr!  I'm sure there would hit 800-850 MHz around 1.00 V

What HW revision you got?
