16 chip board bios?

Yes!!! Well close enough... 16 chip "board" with 16 chip bios...
...

What exactly do you mean with 16 chip bios? Do mean you are working with all 16 engines on a BFL ASIC chip?

ENGINE_ZERO is always disabled by default in BFL's Firmware. I couldn't read anywhere facts about why this has been done, or what's the problem with ENGINE_ZERO. Do you know more?

This is a quote from an email I had with Jonathon Griffin at BFL.
"The engine 0 is currently deactivated on our chips. If it's enabled, the behavior of the chip will be indeterminable."

Well you got the response. I didn't... When I ask anything technical I don't get anything back... But it would be still nice to figure out how to use it... But I can't figure is this firmware or hardware(I think it is) problem... Did you?

I think Lucko is trying to say a board for 16 chips with a bios that can handle 16 chips... The original designed board is for 8 chips...
Can't believe they have an engine that its behaviour can't be determined when it's enabled... It's like having a door way light that will trip your house's power when you turned it on....

I am now starting to look to when my "LITTLE SINGLE" finally arrives(september, october, november, 2013 or 2014)

What do you think the upgrade will require to transform it into "COINxxxx SUPER SINGLE"?

I can imagine the first move would be to sell the PSU on Ebay(or throw it in the bin)
Then immediately ship the main box to you, with some bitcoins, to complete the transformation.

Well we have a Little Single in hands... form got his shipped

So we will see. I would guess you will need some BTC but not much but more importantly 8 chips. I guess you will get form 64 to 70GH out... But you need to know that this might not work so good because form reported that power regulation doesn't work that good...

There are a few utube clips showing teardown of these units.
The little single appears to be on the same board as the single but only 1/2 populated.

The day for us to confirm our board orders must be getting close!

Yes that is right... Just need new BOM so we are sure we get price right... We could start with one really hi to be sure but I told you it will be close to cost for my GB buyers and sample chips donors who helped with this boards...

Nice, so we are truly looking at 1 board there. I like the power supply jumper. (That’s an attempt at humor not criticism)

Yes!!! Well close enough... 16 chip "board" with 16 chip bios...

This was the last test... We could put up to 16 chips in this... So last checks before 8- and 16-chip boards goes into production have passed.

Very nice. A 16 chip board will be rocking!

One processor for both boards. It's a souped up little single clone.

OK another clue. Look at processor numbers... They have one more space then originally(below is original top is from this)...
