Asic.to Firmware 17Series • Optimized efficiency/Performance •

Finally sent it to Bitmain's repair factory in Netherlands... Hope the repair will not be too expensive as it is out of warranty. And I hope my customs will not even bigger pain in arse, which they USUALLY ARE.

But when it comes back, I am instantly gonna flash its firmware to something custom and undervolt that biatch as I am down right sick and tired of that machine breaking on Turbo/Normal.

Looking forward to your 1.0.

If you autotune it at stock settings you can drop 500w off it's power consumption.

[favebook]

I plan on doing that or even going below stock speed, because I'd rather have unit that works perfectly for year or two than a unit which is breaking every few months.

Hi guys. I am glad to present the first official release of the Best mining firmware version 1.0.0 for Antminers s17 & T17.

Change log:

 1. General stability.
 2. Correction of profile parameters for  S17 / T17.
 3. Improved nicehash support (extranonce subscribe).
 4. Added trigger to disable / enable voltage (cold start).
 5. Added trigger to disable / enable domain unbalance check.
 6. Added the ability of target chip temp (new proprietary and much cooler adjustment method, which significantly reduced fan speed).
 7. Implemented support for a “quiet" start of the miner.
 8. Automatic transfer of the miner to warm-up mode when starting in cold conditions.
 9. Added registration of dead chips during autotune.
 10. Improved and significantly reduced the launch time of the miner.
 11. Added saving chips freq / autotune result for subsequent manual pre-tuning.
 12. Added checking for all types of viruses that we know about today.
 13. All functionality is added to the config multiplier section.
 14. Activated time zone.
 15. Added the estimated power consumption by the miner (electronic wattmeter).
 16. The status of the miner (its API) is available immediately at startup after 15 seconds.
 17. Added The ability to set the critical temperature of the chips to automatically disable the hash board.

Source code required for the cgminer in it, since that is a license requirement for distributing to anyone who asks.
You are distributing it, I downloaded it - so where's the source code?

It doesn't matter where you got it from or who you blame, the license requires YOU to supply the source code if YOU distribute it in any way.

... anyone else who downloads this firmware, thanks for also giving a kick in the teeth to the developers who spent a total of many years developing the cgminer code in it ...

... and no doubt the local forum mod will merit your post for distributing it, as he does for many others who also violate the cgminer license, but alas I guess he's a scumbag like you also for promoting people who violate the license.
I have spoke to the forum manager about it and his claim is that the mods do not represent the forum ... ... ...
(he just pays them to work on the forum)

Hello Taserz,

That's great news that the new version 1.0.0 is online, i just uploaded it to my T17 and it is runny smooth at 53.6TH @ 2671W  

Is there also a possibility with the new firmware to ingore faulty chips or chips that are missing during startup from the miner? I have a problem with my S17 Pro that it is only detecting 44 chips instead of 48 chips on chain 1 and because of that the firmware disables the complete chain. I don't know what went wrong in the past because from the beginning when the 0.9.6 beta firmware came out i started testing with it and also all the new beta versions i tested but i noticed that the problem started after i started using the first firmware with autotune available and first the last 4 chips where X on chain 1 and when i did a reboot, the complete chain 2 gave a lot of errors

I restored the Original bitmain firmware but still missing 4 chips on chain 1 so i contacted bitmain support with the logs and they provided me a recovery firmware for the controlboard, for some reason after using this firmware everything worked again with all 48 chips. I thought that maybe the problem was was indeed the controlboard software so then i reflashed your latest 0.9.9 firmware back again but guess what;,... the problem with the missing 4 chips was back again.

I used the recovery sdcard image from bitmain again but now the problem looks like permanent that it only detects 44 chips on chain 1. Therefor i am using your 0.9.6 beta firmware because with this firmware it keeps running @65Ths with 4 missing chips.

I noticed that all of your firmwares after 0.9.6beta are disabling the complete chain after it finds some missing chips during startup and firmware 0.9.6beta only gives me a warning that it only find 44 chips after 3 attempts of scanning.

Could you please have a look at it is possible to ignore the missing chips in the new firmware just like 0.9.6 or something.

I will try to upload the kernel log from running with your latest 1.0.0 firmware or i can pm it to you?

Does this firmware also work on the S17 pro versions?

[favebook]

Yes, I've tried it and it did work perfectly.

i have a question : is it possible to activate only the asicboost but not the overclock ?
asicboost must offer 10-15% increase with same stability.. or am i wrong ?

Asicboost has nothing to do with custom firmwares for overclocking.

And asicboost drama was mainly around S9 machines. As far as I know all newer machines have it integrated (and activated) already.

Using the 1.0 firmware. Have a s17 53th. On 53th and 58th preset I get 4 x's in a row.
At 62th x's gone. Running 63th, 2678w. 31F ambient, fans at 26%.

Was wondering why stock firmware runs both cgminer AND bmminer at the same time.
The hashrate drops 10th once a minute then back up.

[Biffa]

Its probably using the other miner application to mine its 2.8% fee.

[wolfen]

This is the software on a brand new antminer s17 53th from the factory. They are charging a mining fee on stock firmware? That's robbery. But that was what I was thinking.

It's not OEM firmware.
If it is actually doing that, then it's a hack firmware, not original.

i have one T17, and contain CGMINER + BMMINER to ! original firmware, i have examined this, and, CGMINER is used only for running hashing, and BMMINER is user for booting / rebooting or apply config...

So, no problem, just stipide bitmain, mixed two version... if you delete only BMMINER, miner run good, but you don't want apply new config (pool for exemple) ... the code is mixed ...

My mistake, thought you were talking about the firmware this topic is discussing.

You do get that bmminer is cgminer right?
BM just changed the name.

[thierry4wd]

No ... i have unlocked SSH acces, and see "bmminer" AND "cgminer" , two version is used on my miner

New firmware working great. Have a s17 53th running on a 62th profile. Just selected the 62th profile, let it autotune and now it runs great at 62th.
Chips cool, highest 75C
