16 chip board bios?
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)...

No it is missing more then just USB... Look at processors data...

No there are 5 chips... But look at boards and see differences... What is one missing...

Are you talking about the chaining of the boards together to eliminate USB and power headers?

2 boards with one chip each connected together? A Jalapeno clone?

Wow, that's 50% increase. Is that the firmware custom for the board? Is it working for jallies?  Grin
It is the same as you can read about it in post above... So yes you can use it on Jala, or whatever...

I'm posting this to see if you can figure it out that it is...

PROCESSOR 03: 12 engines @ 247 MHz -- MAP: 0xFF8E 0b1111111110001110
PROCESSOR 04: 13 engines @ 272 MHz -- MAP: 0xF6FE 0b1111011011111110
PROCESSOR 05: 12 engines @ 244 MHz -- MAP: 0xCFFC 0b1100111111111100
PROCESSOR 08: 14 engines @ 322 MHz -- MAP: 0xBFFE 0b1011111111111110
PROCESSOR 15: 11 engines @ 289 MHz -- MAP: 0x0FFE 0b0000111111111110

If not there will be a picture tomorrow...

And yes those are the same chips that were:

PROCESSOR 0: 10 engines @ 428 MHz -- MAP: B7E4  1011011111100100
PROCESSOR 3: 7 engines @ 354 MHz -- MAP: F206   1111001000000110
PROCESSOR 4: 12 engines @ 384 MHz -- MAP: F6DE  1111011011011110
PROCESSOR 5: 8 engines @ 342 MHz -- MAP: 85DC   1000010111011100
PROCESSOR 7: 9 engines @ 371 MHz -- MAP: 03FE   0000001111111110

This is what firmware did to them... From 12 GH to 18 GH... But this is not the news... Something else is...

COINADO  COINTAMINATION  FRANKENJALA

Hi Lucko

As the family is growing so fast, Will you be able to do anything with the little singles and singles? they are in danger of becoming the poor relations!

Yes I can upgrade Little single into Single without a problem from what I saw... Need to get one in hand or pictures of the board in more details but it looks like it is same board with only one side populated...

OK we have one Little single on the way so we can see if this will work.

But we can do something else for  them as well. Give instructions how to overvoltage them and install our custom firmware.

Just to give you idea. Jala was stock at 6.5 GH(so upgraded version). With stock 1.2.5 was 7.3 GH. Modified firmwere (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/experimenting-with-jalapeno-firmware-236875) 7.8 GH and ours 8.6GH (not finished yet)... So yes we can do something for them too... This is done for now without overvoltage...

It will be ready for test in 14 days and we are sure it will work. We would like to run boards for longer time so we need samples for it.

I have 2 sample chips here that I can donate if they will help.  Let me know.

I will have more chips to send you later, when BFL delivers them.

He everyone... Today I got a lot of PM so if you didn't get the answer or I missed a part of the question or my answer didn't make any sense because I mistaken you by someone else just resend it...

Doing my best... But it is getting hard...

Frankenjala is not there yet... And you need to know that there are revisions of the board so without knowing what you have is not easy... It was a backup project(modify Jala board to work with more chips) that will now change it's purpose... But the hardest thing for you will be mount ASIC chip... Hot air gun and tin foil staff... The rest will be removing "easy" to change components...

Crypto is King.
I guess so... We can't give warrant on chips but we can give it on components... And we plan to have some stock if all goes well...

And yes if you send us chips this will be plug and play.... Or you can just order boards and have chips mounted by yourself...
Can you give us a quick idea of what it takes for the every day back yard engineer to mount BFL chips to turn Jala's into FRANKENJALAs Smiley?
