HASHRA CONTROLA FIRMWARE FOR GRIDSEED MINERS INCLUDING "BLADE"

[HASHRA]

We are very pleased to announce our latest versions of the HASHRA CONTROLA Firmware for your Gridseed Miners using the Raspberry Pi including the BLADE.

We now have our CONTROLA firmware in three flavours:

MINI CONTROLA:
This is based on our first Controla firmware and continues to support dual mining with the "Mini" 5 Chip Gridseed USB Miners.
Now with pool failover support.

BLADE CONTROLA:
This is our new firmware that works just for the new Gridseed Blade.
One of the key features of it is that it calculates the pool hash rate to give you a more accurate "actual" hash rate at the pool side rather than just local.
We are obviously still working on this and developing it and will making many updates to it. First tests seem to show it maybe possible to run 10 or more BLADES off one Pi using BLADE CONTROLA. : )

ATLANTIS CONTROLA:
This is the firmware designed for our Limited Edition (Already Sold Out) Scrypt Miner.
This is based on the MINI CONTROLA without the option of Dual mining mode.

All these can be downloaded right now at hashra.com/support

We will also be putting up new "Set up guides" for our miners very soon. : )

UPDATE:

Good news Ladies & Gentleman…

We have now decided to release the SSH login details for the Gridseed Based products using the CONTROLA Firmware:

USER: pi

PASSWORD: 3K4Hb8FMeZjQZJEX6scYzZa

ENJOY!

Can you upload a mirror link? The dropbox one is restricted  downloading at 125KB/s

[Janezki]

Thanks, downloading Blade Controla now.

edit:
Yes, this is good. Only if I could set the clock speed to 838Mhz, which seems to be the optimal to stock Blades.
How about adding "professional settings" (with a disclaimer ofcourse), from where you can finetune the frequency as you wish?

[rrob]

Can you please add 838freq? This is the most stable freq for blades has 800 is too slow and 850 causes too many hw errors.

Hi is there a place to get this the link is over loaded it seems

what a great Program thanks guys my grids have never ran better or longer looking for ward to get more from you

thanks Danny

[tonyca]

Yes,please add 835 and 838 frequency,Thank you.

[HASHRA]

Yes,please add 835 and 838 frequency,Thank you.

Working on getting the firmware to do 838... will keep you posted.

This will arrive in a simple update.

[mt k]

Yes,please add 835 and 838 frequency,Thank you.

and thank you

and thank you

any update on 835 and 838 frequency?

[Janezki]

963, 975, 988 would be nice to have too...


(that's 24hrs 24mins)

[HASHRA]

Working on it so the update releases out this weekend… though please do not hold us to that.
Still got some more tweaking to do with it so it is ready for you.

Will have more options for frequency control.

Wow, nice hashrate, are your blades modded? how did you get it to run stable on that frequency?


Below the new frequency table for our forked bfgminer (not done with the latest firmware yet though, need some time to make it pretty )

Code:

600, 650,
    700, 706, 713, 719, 725, 731, 738, 744,
    750, 756, 763, 769, 775, 781, 788, 794,
    800, 813, 825, 838, 850, 863, 875, 888,
    900, 913, 925, 938, 950, 963, 975, 988,
    1000, 1013, 1025, 1038, 1050, 1063, 1075, 1088,
    1100, 1113, 1125, 1138, 1150, 1163, 1175, 1188,
    1200, 1213, 1225, 1238, 1250, 1263, 1275, 1288,
    1300, 1313, 1325, 1338, 1350, 1363, 1375, 1388,
    1400

HASHRA: Good to hear, some finetuning options are always welcome.

maxzilla: This is voltmodded with 39kOhm resistor(s), there's a thread about it in here.
950Mhz in Controla is good with very litte HW errors, at 1000Mhz Blade just doesn't start hashing.

[HASHRA]

Please make sure you update now to version 1.4.5 for your CONTROLA by hitting "Update Firmware".
This is for BLADE, MINI and ATLANTIS.


We have now added more frequency options. (Magic number for BLADE is 838)

Advanced settings section giving individual clock speed control.

New drop down menu for easy selection of clock speed.

Now comes with per "Miner" control.


Good Luck! 

[Janezki]

Absolutely brilliant!
On-the-fly & individual clockspeed adjustment is just awesome.
Hoping to get 6.5M from my Blade now...

Hi there - what fork of BFGMiner is this? Do you have a URL?

Hi, this is the url of the fork
https://github.com/HASHRA/bfgminer

I made changes in the /feature/gridseed-support (v 3.10) branch
I tried modifying the gridseed-support-new branch, but for some reason it was not performing as well as 3.10... on the pi at least.

There is official support in BFGMiner for GridSeed devices. Why fork it instead of contributing?

There was that note on the pull request that luke left mentioning he moved support there temporarily, only the note was there a while after it was merged in

I'll have another closer look at 3.99, The clock setting is already dynamic there. I added the chip amount setting in the fork, I don't know if that is something that you are interested in having?
