It works on Kano pool.

Hi @sarcheer I'm using it on a 14Th S9 on Antpool and it works fine. However the frequencies on all my chains is set to 600 and by default the advanced page to change this is not displayed.

At 600, it gives about 12 Th/s pool side.

Is it the same with you?

Edit: Manually going to http://192.168.x.xxx/cgi-bin/minerAdvanced.cgi and increasing frequency works without issues.

Would be nice if this could be used with the R4... Also, any plans to add asicboost?

for the hundred thousandth time ASICBOOST requires compatible HARDWARE. There is no magic software to enable it on hardware that was not designed for it.

And Bitmain just announced it officially:

Quote from: blog.bitmain.com

"We’re very pleased to share that last night our developers released the firmware for the Antminer S9 to enable what is popularly called the “overt AsicBoost” functionality. We will also release in one week the firmware to activate this functionality in other BM1387-based models namely the Antminer R4, S9i, S9j, T9 and T9+."

You were saying? The BM1387 chip lacked asicboost?

If Braiins has plans to release a firmware for the R4, i would rather wait for it than use Bitmain's. The R4 is just an S9 with two boards and 1 fan.

Dear Miners, we strongly recommend you DON'T UPGRADE your S9 devices with the new Bitmain firmware. It is not compatible with BIP310 standard and as a result also not compatible with @slush_pool. We are working hard on providing our own fix asap and will keep you posted.

Here are the steps if you have a linux computer on your network:

This is just the "Migrating from factory firmware to Braiins OS" setup from https://docs.braiins-os.org/ but instead of booting into the SD card and doing it locally, your doing it from your linux comp over the network:

I'm testing on an Antminer S9i over my network. 192.168.2.72 will my the address;

Requirements: braiins-os-firmware_zynq-am1-s9_*image*.tar.bz2
python3 python-virtualenv setuptools(18.5 or newer)to get some possible errors out of the way

ubuntu/debian flave:

Code:

apt-get install python3 python-virtualenv

CentOS/RedHat flave:

Code:

yum install python3 python-virtualenv

- Press Y to install

Now update python setuptools with pip because you likely already have python installed and some modules just need updating:

Code:

pip install --upgrade pip setuptools

Should now be ready without errors

Upload braiins-os-firmware_zynq-am1-s9_*latest*.bz2 to a folder on your box, in my case i downloaded it to /root

you can use wget, if you are using a windows pc you can upload using winscp:

Code:

wget https://feeds.braiins-os.org/braiins-os-firmware_zynq-am1-s9_2018-09-22-1-8d9b127d.tar.bz2

Now we are just following the directions on the page:

1- Unpack firmware

Code:

for i in ./braiins-os-firmware_*.tar.bz2; do tar xvjf $i; done

/root# for i in ./braiins-os-firmware_*.tar.bz2; do tar xvjf $i; done

braiins-os-firmware_zynq-am1-s9_2018-09-22-1-8d9b127d/factory_transition/ssh.py

2- Change to the factory transition directory;

Code:

/root # cd braiins-os-firmware_zynq-am1-s9_2018-09-22-1-8d9b127d/factory_transition/

I'll skip pasting the resulting text but just follow the instructions:

3- Next :

Code:

virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python3 .env

4- Next :

Code:

source .env/bin/activate

5- Next :

Code:

pip install -r ./requirements.txt

you may receive a setuptools prerequisite error setuptools must be > 18.5 , this may be because this virtual environment creates a small sandbox (?) if you do get this error run try to update setuptools via pip again;

Code:

pip install --upgrade pip setuptools

and re-run:

Code:

pip install -r ./requirements.txt

6- Next :

Now i will write to one of my antminer s9i's (192.168.2.72), you will be asked for your antminers root pass

Code:

python3 upgrade2bos.py 192.168.2.72

still want to see chip temperatures.

the S9 is draining a good 6.8A at 14.6T (that was a 13.5T that was hashing at 13.1T and couldn't get it to hash higher).

for the hundred thousandth time ASICBOOST requires compatible HARDWARE. There is no magic software to enable it on hardware that was not designed for it.

The Antminer S9 was always "theoretically" capable of supporting overt ASICBOOST at the hardware level. No one was able to leverage it though. They still have not succeeded.

There was a lot of talk on Reddit regarding this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMining/comments/8303fa/enabling_asicboost_for_antminer/

However, the possibility still exists. Check out this blog post by Braiins OS:

https://medium.com/@braiins_systems/bitmain-antminer-s9-asicboost-capability-verified-by-braiins-13-in-energy-savings-and-planned-da67c290152c

Whether they finally succeed or not is another matter.

From what I can tell, cuz I didn't use the SD card img, but yes, you can change that to the Mac address of the antminer. And it should give you the correct ip.

How to backup the original firmware? I don't understand

Could I upgrade Bitmain firmware before? It is usual Antminer S9 (April batch)

Using the SD card version you don't need to back it up. Just set the omg up on a SD card so you can run the miner off the SD. And it doesn't touch the firmware

Hope they show both temp on the next release.
Mine is running nice with the SD card since couple of weeks.
Waiting for the next release with more functions before i flash it on the controller.
Keep up the good work.

If you compile the cgminer git from braiins sources, you can edit it so you can have both Temps shown. I'll see if I can find the line for the Temps. Then it's a edit on the webpage to show both.
