Any suggestions for a board with resistance to firmware updates? It's back a few notches - several releases behind but it just returns ' Invalid Firmware '  every time with any of the official Bitmain firmware updates. I was wondering if anyone else has come across a similar issue with the R4. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

I had the same issue with mine. Im just running the old firmware where you can pick your frequency (550-650).

Strange. Do you know what batch is yours?

If you have the 2016 firmware, You should be able to upgrade to 2017:


If you have the 2017 firmware, then, and only then, you can upgrade to 2018:

Just to confirm, you’ve tried the Antminer-R4-all-201704280718-autofreq-user-Update2UBI-NF.tar.gz fw, correct?

Are you running the latest, ASICboost enabled firmware?  My R4 would drop a board often enough, and rebooting usually got it back up and running, but after updating the firmware to the latest it runs better and hasn't dropped a board yet.
HTH


Is this firmware Antminer-R4-xilinx-201811121649-autofreq-user-UBI-NF.tar.gz the one with ASICboost enabled, or is it another one?
That's the one I used when I updated the fw. Been a happy camper since.

That is the ASICBoost FW from Bitmain. However, if you are not on the other listed firmware:

Antminer-R4-all-201704280718-autofreq-user-Update2UBI-NF.tar.gz

The update will not work. The update listed above changes the file system to UBI or something like that which is necessary for the AB firmware to be compatible as it uses a UBI filesystem but does not contain the necessary files to changeover the existing filesystem.

So if I have a stock R4, the steps would be to first install the Antminer-R4-all-201704280718-autofreq-user-Update2UBI-NF.tar.gz fw, then the Antminer-R4-xilinx-201811121649-autofreq-user-UBI-NF.tar.gz fw. Is that correct?

This is exactly what i did to mine, which had a firmware from 2016. First to the Update2UBI one, then the latest. The fan of the R4 is ridiculously silent at 100% (mine does 3240rpm, some models only do 3000rpm) and in all its life has had the fourth wire disconnected, I don't think i ever saw the option to force fan speeds or chip freqs like i remember seeing in S9s so the fan have always been running at 100%, and the chips on autofreq (600ish).

After the update the hashrate went from 8 to 8.5, and the temperatures went down. Also it reports both PCB and Chip temperatures far better than the weird two values the 2016 firmware used to give...

Yes, that would be correct! However, be aware that you will the lose the ability from the stock firmware to set your own fan speeds and freq when you upgrade to the UBI filesystem.

I have few very basic ideas..  Smiley

Is it the same result if you change the controller board port used for that hash board?

Does removing the other hash board data cable + power temporarily and booting the miner with the one hash board make any difference?

Do you get the same result if you swap controller board ports between the two hash boards?
Yes. (well the chain #s change)
No.
Yes.

I'm going to put it on the tech bench next week for a deeper look. But it's probably not worth putting in that much time.
-Dave

Have you tried to swapping the cables between boards to see if the cable has failed?

I *think* I did.
Where it is now is not easy to work on, so I did a bunch of tests (swapping ports, swapping power, etc) I think I did a full cable swap but I am not 100% sure, which is why I figure I'll pull it to the tech bench next week when I have time & space to work.
Thanks,

It was on the ASICBoost FW, then I rolled it back to see if that helped (it didn't). Not sure if I put it back on or not.

So my last R4 lost a hash board.
Before I say screw it an sell it, can anyone see anything that looks obvious?

Log below.

CLEAN non GPL infringing code made in Rust lang
After updating to the newest FW my R4B2 went from 8 to 8.5TH/s and is running cooler.  So more hash for less operational cost, not too shabby...  Cool
I just did mine and was going to write the same.
Indeed from 8th/s went up to 8.5th/s. Also its nice to have proper pcb+chip temp readings, seems much cooler now Smiley
Looking at the logs the system wants the FAN to run at 50ish percent, but nah, I'll leave it at full throttle because its so quiet anyway.
Max chip temperature went down from 110ish to 70, not bad (max i ever saw was 120...).

I'm in BTC XTC
What I've seen is that is separates the boards' clock speeds, so before both boards were running at the same speed (the fastest that both would be stable I'd guess), and now I see one board is running with a higher clock with the other basically the same as before.
Surprised it didn't do that originally.  Huh

Nice! Yah, this firmware is using the freq set in the pic from what I understand.
