I'm making this new thread to focus in support issues and not get derailed with off topic things anymore.
Remember that this is by my own initiative, official support is provided by opening a
Support ticket, or in the
Telegram Group.
Official web page is here:
https://braiins.com/os/plusI will try to keep this first post updated with latest releases and supported hardware.

23.03.1 for X19 series (S19, S19 Pro, S19j, S19j Pro, T19, and S19 XP) with SD card installation only
- Fix for version rolling of the following X19 series miners with Zynq control boards

- Improved autotuning without restarts
- Fixed delays to the resumption of mining experienced after the pause command
- Alpha release of our new gRPC-based public API to provide a unified standard for all current and future miner variants regardless of the manufacturer
Note: Due to improvements in autotuning, old tuner profiles will be removed with this update.
23.02 for
X19 series (S19, S19 Pro, S19j, S19j Pro, T19, and S19 XP) with
SD card installation only- Support for Antminer S19 XP
- Support for Antminer S19 sub-variants BHB56802 and BHB42651
- Improved tuner - autotuning without restarts
23.01 for x17/x19 series Zynq SD only (final x17 release)
- [feature] added support for more S19 sub-variants
- [feature] improved efficiency of the tuning process
- [feature] added new fan control mechanism
- [feature] fans in auto mode are now default
22.08.1 for S9/x17/x19 series Zynq SD only (final S9 release)
- [bug fixes] Minor bugs related to pools connections
22.08 for S9/x17/x19 series Zynq SD only
- [feature] Hashrate Target mode for Autotuning
- [improvement] Improved Power Curves for S19j PRO and S19 PRO
- [improvement] Adjusted power limit defaults for Antminer X17 family
NOTE: The default power limits for the X17 family are now aligned with the stock power limits based on the machine variant. The previous default power limit of 1700W is now 2200W, which will more closely match the consumption and hashrate output to the stock specifications.
IMPORTANT: If you are currently running many X17 devices at the default power limit, this update will cause a significant increase in power consumption. To prevent that, you can simply change the power limit on your machines slightly (e.g. to 1710W) so that the upgrade does not cause any major changes.
If you install Braiins OS+ on a stock device, or have been using a user defined power limit, this change will not impact you at all.
22.06 This is a major release for Beaglebone control boards only.
- [feature] Added support for Beagle Bone based control boards (including tuner, but excluding the auto-upgrade functionality)
Note: this release won't run on other than Beaglebone control board equipped miners.
Note: not sure which control board you have? check
here
22.05 This is a minor release containing improved power curves for selected Antminers models.
- [feature] Power curve matrix has been added for models S19J and S19 pro so the estimation of power consumption is now more accurate

Braiins OS+ is a full replacement firmware made from scratch. Braiins has to figure out hardware support without any aid or documentation from manufacturers, for this reason the number of supported ASIC miners is limited. Braiins takes no shortcuts like
others that illegally mod existing firmware and infringe
cgminer's intellectual property (see Section 8), therefore its impossible to support new miners that have been just released. It takes countless hours of research and development to support each new variant or model in a manner that is clean, safe and efficient.
Braiins OS+ is made in Czechia part of the European Union with the highest standards of excellency.
Unlike
others who don't care about burning your miners, Braiins cares. Only Braiins OS+ prefers to stop using what it doesn't like,
others are "do it no matter what" mindset. Long time farm operations save with extended hardware longevity and unrivaled uptime because of this, which is what makes profitable what others lose in downtime and repairs. Also your company won't be liable for the use of pirate software that funnels money to an OFAC sanctioned country. Braiins OS+ is CLEAN, nothing from the manufacturer, nothing from cgminer, designed from the bottom up, not patched with a gazillion holes, mem leaks or a reckless uncaring and ridiculing attitude. Those incapable of writing their own mining software are no competitors, but pirates.
Braiins as a company exists
since 2011, 13 years of unparalleled experience; and it shows, the industry knows the truth.
Since Braiins OS+ release in 2020, the results have always been the best efficiency, often resulting in a "generation leap". For example:
People who use it with the S9, can make 74 J/TH, same as S11 with stock.
People who use it with the S17, can make 29 J/TH same as S19 with stock.
People who use it with the S19j, could make 21 J/TH same as S19 XP with stock.
People who use it with the S19 XP, can make 18 J/TH same as S21 with stock.
People who use it with the S21, can make 15 J/TH same as S21 Pro with stock.

Clean, safe, efficient. Braiins OS.For most of 2023, you could have made your XPs achieve the so called
1XJ/T ahead of the manufacturers newest models, by simply using Braiins OS+.
Even if you subtract the dev fee, you still get better than
others with "zero fee". For example 101.2*0.975=98.67 1856.3W/98.67TH=18.81J/T (normalized against "zero" fee). By using Braiins OS+, you support the development of a truly independent and clean alternative developed from scratch.
The reason why Braiins always achieves the best efficiency is because of its unique autotuning, a deep and continuous process
others aren't able to imitate no matter what they claim, since they don't get it and take shortcuts which are inefficient and never adapt truly to your hardware. Its not who does it first, its who does it best. Worldwide market adoption has been overwhelming, and for good reason. Think of cars, what quality you get from Europe, America, China and Russia...
And on top of that,
enjoy the 0% pool fee by using
Braiins Pool. Since you are already paying for Braiins OS+ you get the benefit of using Braiins Pool for free!
Two products for the price of one!
