I think hardware errors are normal on this platform now; I've seen them on every system I've looked at so far.
Are you seeing "rejected" shares or "discarded" shares?
If you are mining against nicehash, you will see rejected shares.

https://releases.broked.net/Z11StockSSHNoSignature.zip
This is the stock Z11 firmware dated Tue Mar 12 19:47:06 CST 2019
+ SSH has been enabled
+ Signature checking has been removed for future firmware updates
+ Protection against the known antminer malware has been added
+ No Dev-Fee/Call-Home
+ No additional features or changes exist.
This can be used to enable AwesomeMiner to manage your Z11 ASIC.
SHAH256: 4c034f823a68d4a05254630a8082bad13136b3ae85399a3cfae2aac00227fb70 Z11StockSSHNoSignature.zip
MD5SUM : 393430f23dd7ac3db0740ef7acabcc6f Z11StockSSHNoSignature.zip
That will need to be installed via SD card:
1) Format SD card 32GB or less as FAT32
2) Extract zip file contents to root of SD card
3) Power off miner.
4) Insert SD card, power on miner.
5) WAIT (30-60 seconds) for lights to go off to the right of the ethernet port.
6) Unplug miner, remove SD card.
7) Plug miner back in.
Enjoy.

Is anyone getting more than 142KSol out of their Z11? If so, how much?
I have a theory that I need to prove as true/false that the auto-tuning functionality might be auto-limiting to prevent it from going above 142kSol and will auto-adjust frequency down to ensure that is the case.

All 4 averaging 140KSol. One is showing 156KSol /RT but it already has one chain downclocked. Has been since yesterday. My two units with a downclocked chain have not changed clocking.
Ok, thank you. If the downclocked chain still hasn't changed, can you confirm again please?
I have been able to test on a machine this evening. I can fully control these boards on these and I know that higher hash rates can be had by manually setting the clock vs. auto-tuning. That said, there appears to be a hash rate ceiling independent of frequency that I'm trying to figure out.

If someone has A) teamviewer and/or B) (preferred) knowledge enough to create an SSH/web port forward AND C) knowledge enough to do a SD card based install on a Z11, I've got an image to start testing with and see what these things can do.
PM me A and C or B and C with a Z11 are true.
Thank you,
Jason

zcash mining difficulty spiked today at an all time high. But now is back down low. Looks like a lot of Z11s were delivered or else somebody in China is testing a lot of them before shipment.
I also got hit with a $2127.01 charge from Fedex for the Trump tax on 4 units.

Watch your frequencies -- it auto-adjusts. Will be interesting to see how/where it stabilizes. It is not clear to me if it continually adjusts frequencies or if it settles.

All 4 have been running for about 3.5 hours and averaging about 140 KSol/S each. So far, 2 of them have dropped the freq on one chain to 724.

7 or 8 on my Fender amp
They are pulling 7.1 amps each at 208 volts. That is 1477 watts. Think about 4 z9 minis running. To get rid of all that heat, you need a lot of fan and there are only 2 of them on each z11.

Interesting these are actually clocking hardware errors.
Would you be willing to send me a copy of the system log from one of your z11s? If so, I will provide you an email address.
I’m hoping having some log contest will help with understanding some of what they have implemented in my reverse engineering efforts.
I can generate an image that provides the same control as my Z9 and mini variants (ie manual control over each hashboard), but I would have to disable auto tuning on an initial release with the information I have so far... and who knows if more can be squeezed out of these things...
Thank you,
Jason

Anyone know a reputable place to buy these?
In the US there seems to be a number of Ebay listings for Z11 preorders, though you're going to pay a pretty steep premium through those sellers as they jack up their prices due to import fees and PP/Ebay fees. Ebay provides you with very good buyer protection so there shouldn't be issues with buying on there unless you're buying from someone with 0 feedbacks. You could also make a WTB post for a Z11 in the Computer Hardware section (click for link) on this forum. Always use escrow while buying and selling here if you choose to go this route.
it is best if you live in the united states to establish a gray import through canada. it will be so much cheaper than buying it in ebay. in addition, defective shipments are often sold in ebay.
which after a few months of work break down.
You can try akminer.com
where are they located?
China. Don’t worry about the taxes, they usually take care how it is shipped.

Nice - I posted an update at the end of my "ZSeries" thread, but for posterity I'll toss a quick update here. I don't know if unlocks for the Z11 will be needed or not. It defaults to 718Mhz ("Turbo") mode on a fresh install, and 681Mhz in "Balance" mode. Beyond that, the firmware attempts to auto-tune the frequency.
The user cannot specify a frequency (there is an exception via the command line, but that is locked out).
A frequency specified in the cgminer.conf is ignored.
SSH is disabled.
The image is "signatured" so other firmwares cannot (easily) be installed.
I have an individual or two in the pipeline who are expecting to receive Z11s and I will test on them remotely to see if there is further "oomph" (ability) in the hardware with the software limits removed.
If there is more to be had out of the hardware, I will release a firmware for it -- or if there is a desire to actually be able to configure the unit as one desires instead of it being "automatic".
I do have the ability to bypass the signature checking, but if I do end up releasing a firmware will likely only support the SD card method for installation... I don't really want to release the first of my bypass methods into the wild for a couple of reasons.
