BB Controller Board in S19XP?

[techer1]

I know most of the s19xp units shipped come with the newer controller boards but do the older boards such as BB V2.3 work in S19XP?

What exactly do you mean by this did you receive an s19 XP unit with a v2.3 control board?
Or did you receive a different unit model and you are planning to use the control board for s19 XP?

If it was installed on your s19xp then it should work unless you buy a different control board.
Take note there is also a universal control board that works on s19 XP zeusbtc selling them.

The S19 XP came with a amlogic board (new style) but it died so I was going to try the BB board on it as I hear they are better for reliability.
I just want to make sure someone has tried this before I order it.

It should work but if it does not work due to hash boards mismatch power/serial number/etc. Then you can flash the control board with BraiinsOS to bypass this issue.
Just make sure that you buy a Xilinx control board not a beaglebone control board because this board can't able to flash with Braiins OS(Currently they developing firmware for beaglebone).

Where did you get the unit from the S19XP only came out last summer IIRC and should be under warranty from Bitmain.
They may, probably will, make you jump through a ton of things to get it replaced but they usually do come around.

The other issue is that if you have a spare board, do you want to put in the time and effort to get this one fixed? I would, just to keep a spare but since as you found out, they do fail....

As I know, in S19j Pro, the BB control board is the best, followed by xilinx, and the amlogic control board is prone to problems.

Good to know thanks for your input on this.

If you look at the available firmware for S19 XP, Bitmain currently does not provide one for Beaglebone Control Board.
The only available firmware is for xilinx 7007, AMlogic and CV1835 CBs.
Since there is no bitmain firmware for Beaglebone CB on S19 XP, you won't be able to run bitmain firmware if you install a beaglebone board.


That being said, the lastest version of BraiinOS v23.02 for S19 XP works on beaglebone boards. They meant to support it for xilinx 7007 as well, but this was somehow missed.
We are running performance tests with BeagleBone CB on S19XP as you can see here
