unlocked frequencies Z9 firmware (free)

[efudd]

using this : antminer-z9-mini-201805262047-500m.tar.gz my miners are OC-able and have no problem with temp readings, just FYI

are you saying you used the mini firmware on the non-mini and it worked?

It will not work properly. It will only initialize 4 of the 16 ASICs.

Otherwise, yes, the mini firmware will work on the Z9, just not to potential.

getting wrong temp readings , (0° ; 13° ; 15° etc, all over the place) with this fw, was ok on stock fw

Same here. Temperatures don't change and one is showing 0°.
Efudds version works ok.

Hello friend,

I have problem with your FW. FAN speed = 100% and temp is bad

Do you understand this thread is for the Z9 (not Z9 mini) ? ? ?

And for z9 mini you should be in this thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4610213.msg46938023#msg46938023
and there you will find permanent link to the may 26 firmware for the z9 MINI.

Ou ups! Thx for info ;-) For Z9 mini is same problem :-( after flash FW from batch 1 is temp 0 C and fan on maximal rpm

Have you UNchecked "keep settings" ?
Does it help ?

Have you downloaded latest from Bitmain and tested with UNchecked "keep settings" ?
https://service.bitmain.com/support/download?product=Antminer%20Z9%20mini

carefully Jiggle cables at fan connector on controllerboard, does it help with fan ?

If problem reading temp for system I guess it will run fan at 100% to protect components so...
carefully jiggle cables from hashboard at connector both on hashboard's AND connectors on controllerboard.

does anything help?

did problem occur when you flashed new firmware ?

try hardware factory restore:

how is everyone doing with this firmware?

I may be wrong, and I definitely have a personal bias here, but I think many are using my firmware after having issues of various sorts with this one. If you have a different experience, please do share!

I have miner from batch 2 and this firmware does not work properly on it - showing 0 degree temperatures causing fan speed 100%.
I think this modification was made on latest firmware-batch 3, and efudds was made from previos firmware.

Yes I know and the topic is also for Z9 and not Z9 mini.

i have been running this FW on a Z9 batch 2 @650m for 17hrs to test it out, so far no errors here everything working as normal including temps.

Awesome -- hope it works out well for you! If not, you know where to look. :-)

24hr using this firmaware with around 56k avg @650m and made the same as using the original firmware with turbo mode 46k avg @550m.

something not right i guess, gonna try your firmware tonight at 12 and let it run for a day and see the difference.

That's weird, regardless of the firmware -- are you on antpool, by chance?

I don’t look at it in USD... what was your coin earning and which coin?

0.00242502 BTC -
the settings are to were it switch to the highest coin at the moment . so random coins.
im using your firmware since 12am to test it out. do you recommend mining a specific coin instead of the auto switching ?

Yeah, I suggest not auto switching... switching takes time, costs hash, and is often more gimmick than success with asic miners.... my personal experience at least. I personally mine just ZEC and sell it when it makes sense to.

Hi all

Z9 (not Z9 mini) FW with unlocked frequencies is available for community for free

ANY OVERCLOCKING YOU TRY - ON YOUR OWN RISK
Original frequencies are 500 and 550 MHz. But almost all Z9 from first batches are good at 650 MHz (+20% hashrate)

It is based on bitmain Antminer-Z9-DEFAULT-500-DUAL-MODE-201808280957.tar.gz firmware, only minor modifications were made - freq unlocking, adding freq list, adding links and donation addresses
here they are at a glance:

Code:

# diff -qr --no-dereference z9_orig/tmp z9_mod/tmp
File z9_orig/tmp/dev/initctl is a fifo while file z9_mod/tmp/dev/initctl is a fifo
Files z9_orig/tmp/usr/bin/cgminer and z9_mod/tmp/usr/bin/cgminer differ
Files z9_orig/tmp/usr/bin/compile_time and z9_mod/tmp/usr/bin/compile_time differ
Files z9_orig/tmp/www/pages/cgi-bin/minerAdvanced.cgi and z9_mod/tmp/www/pages/cgi-bin/minerAdvanced.cgi differ
Files z9_orig/tmp/www/pages/cgi-bin/minerConfiguration.cgi and z9_mod/tmp/www/pages/cgi-bin/minerConfiguration.cgi differ
Files z9_orig/tmp/www/pages/minerStatus.html and z9_mod/tmp/www/pages/minerStatus.html differ

cgminer is modified using disassembler and bytes patching

My collegue, efudd https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2271429 is working on the same task, but with more features/support etc. So you have an option to have a deal with him - check topic nearby

here is sha1sum of original file 5f84317263cc875fa729547d78e4384e6f811391
Update process is the same as for original firmware

Please post your feedback, thank you
PS I'm not a Z9 owner, and had a chance to test modified cgminer only at 1 machine.
PPS Provided as is, no modifications or further improvements planned as for now

PPPS
I was really interested if donation system work or not, here are stats for everyone, so make your own conclusions )
as for 11/02/18
downloaded times from origin link - 343
donations received - 0,0154BTC, 0.1 ZEC, 0.1 ZEC, 0.1 ZEC, 0.5 ZEC, 0.1 ZEC

Smartass111,
I sent you 0.01543597 BTC on October 2.  I assume that it is the 0,0154 that you have listed.  Thank you for the work on the firmware.
