See Post #24 & #26 to flash an SD card with Windows

I only had a few SD cards so some of them are running Braiins but would like to upload to the controller since its all good on the first 6.

Can anyone please explain how to install Braiins OS from a windows machine? Unfortunately, I do not have any Linux machines onsite.

I have the ubuntu app on my win 10 machine in the hopes of learning more about Linux but am a complete newb i must confess.

x5 S9i's pumping out 16TH under 1700watts each ... gitty up. Love that you can mix the voltages per chain

Latest firmware working flawlessly. One thing I can't seem to find is the current fan speed or the ability to set it.

Am I just blind or is it not an option right now.

So going through all the miners one by one, checking them before moving on, I have now stopped at one machine which I can only assume has a temperature reading bug because all chains are set to 550Mhz and temps on all chains are reading abnormally high whereas on the BM firmware at 625Mhz they were around 77C

Umm it doesnt brick anything by changing the control file to the s9 from s9i. Thats exactly what I did and I have it running on multiple early batch S9s without an issue.

Well you may be lucky in that case. After flashing mine there was no IP access. No DHCP was assigned and also did an ip scan and did not find an ip i couldn't account for in the leases

OK start over hehe.. but try with THIS https://feeds.braiins-os.org/braiins-os_am1-s9_2018-10-24-0-9e5687a2.tar.bz2

Quote from: https://braiins-os.org

We are proud to introduce new #BraiinsOS Wolfram🔥. It contains overt #AsicBoost support for all S9's with voltage & frequency control per hashboard.

b: For the time being, we use Bitmain bitstream. However, we are still dedicated to #OpenSourceEverything & make the whole software stack open. 💪

new firmware out with asicboost!!

rockminer1: ^ if you are seeing that the firmware should be loaded, have you tried a web browser to http://192.168.0.33 ??

You are ssh'd to your miner with braiins OS .. you can see if the services are loaded by typing

Code:

ps | grep bin

just shows processes with /usr/bin you will see the httpd daemon/cgminer etc loaded

like this:

Code:

root@MINER:~# ps | grep bin
   1 root 1324 S /sbin/procd
  991 root 968 S /sbin/ubusd
  992 root 672 S /sbin/askfirst /usr/libexec/login.sh
1066 root 1012 S /sbin/logd -S 64

you can see above uhttpd/ntpd/cgminer etc are all loaded

Lower fan speed and temp is a result of lower power consumption, achieved using AsicBoost.

i've noticed that my hash rate is lower than normal too. any idea why?

Yeah you can edit the control file located in the firmware folder. The item is on line 1: FW_MINER_HWVER="Antminer S9i". Got a spare control board lying around so gonna test the edit

EDIT: So yeah, don't edit the file. Chances are it will brick the vanilla s9. Can't understand why it does that if using the SD card works but oh well.

Umm it doesn't brick anything by changing the control file to the s9 from s9i. Thats exactly what I did and I have it running on multiple early batch S9s without an issue.

Its only compatible with Antminer S9i right now, someone said there was a file you can edit somewhere in the thread to get it to write to a regular S9 (i think ?)

I'm assuming it thinks the machine is the newer S9's

why on earth would you believe anything bitmain says tbh lol jihan and his bastards were running asicboost forever then selling used miners, the blog post stated a bunch of garbage about them adhearing to patent rights (booowshit) lol, braains forced their hands before he released his own. take the garbage firmware off until slush says it’s compatible - again screw what bitmain says they only want you mining on their garbage pools

Works on Kano Pool, a very anti-Bitmain pool. I don't buy their reasoning but their firmware is available for anyone to download and audit. Its in use by a number of prominent forum members who are reporting on its effects on their miners.

I can confirm that the new updated Asicboost enabled firmware dated 23rd October by Bitmain works on Slushpool, Kano, CkPool and Prohashing.

yes....just realised that the firmware i downloaded was before the fixed......download the 23rd firmware and it works. but....what does this asicbooster supposed to do? i dont see any different besides from low fan speed and temperature. lol....total noob.
