Braiins just introduced that the newest version won't need SD card and you can install remotely!

I have only seen this miner with C74 (Zynq) same one used in some S19A. This control board has two fan plugs that are thicker, to acomodate higher amps. I would not advise changing this control board and keep using the same fans with some adapter, you may burn it.

It is NOT supported in Braiins OS+ yet, work is currently in progress. As always, any new miner model/variation needs to be carefully studied and tested to have a reliable clean implementation.

The faster others release, the more you should worry about them taking shortcuts. But its your miners at risk, YMMV...

I guess he meant the microSD card slot.
But its a bit confusing for me aswell.

He means Micro USB, the Amlogic C76 A113D has no Sd/Tf card slot, only a Micro USB, regardless, as Phill mentioned above, the k version is not supported by BraiinOS yet.

I also have a paranoia over the letter K in any Antminer Bitmain makes, this letter brings back sad memory of the S9k, I think k stands for KABOOM!, Bitmain collects all the bad chips and stick them on all the bad control boards they have and ship them to us like hot potatoes.

Hi everyone,

I just took delivery of my new s19kpro and wanted to run it with braiins OS
...however, contrary to the official bitmain manual and pics, the sd-card slot is not there. Instead, there is a microSD connection.
Any ideas on how to overcome this? I tried using an SD card reader with micro-sd connection, but it doesnt appear to work

Any and all help very much appreciated!

There is no such thing as a 'micro SD connection'... Did you mean a micro-USB connection?
There *is* a micro-SD card and slot.

I guess he meant the microSD card slot.
But its a bit confusing for me aswell.

To OP:

I just checked the docs of Braiins+ OS and it seems like the S19K Pro is not supported. No guarantee though, as I don't know exactly when the documentation was updated.
This may be because the S19K Pro uses an Amlogic control board, as @skot also suspected.

I haven’t gotten my hands on a S19K Pro yet, but I believe they come with Amlogic control boards that don’t have SD Card slots.

If you want to Run Braiins or any of the other aftermarket FW, I think you need to get a new control board.
