Best Firmware for Antminer T15

[Shambhalla]

Hi! I'm new to mining on Sha-256! I have another machine that is for Scrypt and is mining Litecoin! So my doubt is this, I bought my first Antminer T15 (which unfortunately had some defects, but fortunately the L3+ experience helped to overcome it) now I would like to have a more complete Firmware! As I'm using Slushpool, I think BraiinOs would be the most suitable (but this option, I found a note saying it doesn't support the T15) so I tried HiveOs (which is what I use on the L3+) but when I try to flash from the error file! So I would like to ask what is the best firmware option for an Antminer T15! (if it is possible to be able to move the machine when I am away (such as on the mobile phone per application))

We can't say which firmware is the best option because they are many competitors with unique features.
What exactly error do you get when flashing it with hiveos firmware? You might do the wrong procedure when flashing the miner with HiveOS?


Anyway, did you check the awesomeminer? It seems they support Antminer t15 check the official thread below.

If you still got some error while flashing it might be a signature check you will need firmware that can bypass or remove the signature check.

Maybe Braiinos could work even if not built for T15? 

For example my R4 have the same control board than S9. It works on all my R4 very well.

Maybe T15 have common control board than a model designed by braiinos firmware ?

PS : Hey friend redditor :-)

Regarding braiinos I sent an email to confirm if it is possible to install on a T15! And thank you for the information! About Hiveos what happens is that the installation in the middle says that it is not possible to install! I got the feeling that it was blocked for some reason! Therefore, it is most likely blocked to different frimware. With this link I could unlock the machine and then install the version I want! right? I wanted a firmware to be able to control the machine for some reason, away from home! And if possible have a good auto tuning and have a manual chip tuning!

I am not aware of any "trusted" custom firmware made for the T15, those gears are unicorns and I suppose no dev would waste their time on it, so whatever you find is probably a hack of the stock firmware or a waste of time.

(if it is possible to be able to move the machine when I am away (such as on the mobile phone per application))

What does that mean? what are you trying to achieve?

The idea would be to be able to monitor temperatures and fan speeds! I live in one where temperatures at this time of year range from 26 degrees to 34 degrees! And there are hotter days. And the firmware I have on my L3+ I can handle these things and also have options to put the machine to sleep if the temperature limits pass the desired! After that it also manages the chips, to improve performance and when possible to lower energy consumption!

you simply purchased the wrong machine to use a lot of aftermarket firmware.

t17 was a better choice.

[Shambhalla]

In fact, the first one I had to buy was s17! But then I saw several people complaining about the amount erros it made. So I bought a S15... as I couldn't find any at a good price, I ended up buying a T15.

Try to contact this man "taserz" he mostly has tools for disabling signature check and unlocking SSH. I don't if he has a tool for t15 but just try to contact him and maybe he is developing a new tool that supports T15.

I think you don't know yet about flashing it through an SD card?
You might be trying to flash your unit through WebGUI and receive some error?
What you should do if you want a successful flashing is by flashing it through an SD card.

If your miner can't do well at 34 degrees then something is wrong with your cooling method, also, the stock firmware handles the temps just fine to a certain degree, while it does not put the miner into sleep mode it simply reboots it, so despite not being the perfect solution one would hope for - it at least ensures that the miner won't catch fire.

In the summer my mines

hot aisle approaches 120f

cold aisle approaches 100f or  38c

Yea! I tried by network! I will then buy an SSD to test! I saw a person changing one of the pins that are on the main board in order to install the new firmware! This is normal?

Are the home fans at 6500rpm? I have a 7500rpm one here and I could change it to be more rested! I also bought some Y splitters because I was thinking about adding two more fans and that way I had four! But I don't know how much I could spoil something by doing that because it's pulling more energy!

I don't think you will need to do that on Antminer t15 the j4 pin jumper is only for the Antminer s9 control board or any similar control board.

If you are going to flash the t15 through an SD card you will need to copy and paste the firmware inside the SD card and put the SD card to your T15 miner and run the miner. That's it you don't need to find the j4 pin, unlike the s9 miner.
