Got a message mine arrive today (Wednesday).
Is there a setup or support thread for these?
I need install instructions for win7.

Those were the 3 longest hours ... of unwrapping Smiley



So now next is testing.


Also - we got 3 devices with a black heatsink (due to some defective copper ones that had to be replaced).

If anyone has a preference and wants those - please post on the thread. The first to post will get them.






sooooo shiny!!!

Don't stick the heatsink on if it's self adhesive, as each rig may have a different orientation of the sticks, so the fins need to be aligned for it.

I think we might be a bit late with that.. I'll find out tomorrow if the heatsinks have all been installed or not. If they're not yet put I'll ship them that way, but if they're already installed I'm not going to take them off.

Generally speaking the fins can either be horizontally (as shown on the picture) or vertically (turned 90 degrees). The horizontal ones will almost always be a better option and even more if you have any additional cooling (e.g. a fan). The vertical ones might be a bit better for passive cooling and if the devices are put vertically.

Oh well, we'll find out soon.

I know I wanted to have my devices as soon as possible, and this unexpected extra 2-3 day delay is annoying... so at the very least I just wanted to keep everyone updated on where we are.

At least we got some really nice copper heatsinks:
They are quite nice!
No problem with the delay, please test nanoFurys before shipping.

Yep - we'll certainly double check and test each device.

Just to update everyone - as I bet you're as eager to get those in your hands as I am - and it is a mix of good and could've-been-better news, so here we go:

Marto74 got the boards on Monday and that's when we got the first glimpse at the finished units.

Even though we had said initially that there will be no heatsink after some testing we figured it would really be much better if the units did indeed have a heatsink. We know they can get 2.2-2.4GH easily and it would be just a pity to artificially limit them. That way they would be much more stable and reliable too.
So Marto ordered the heatsinks on Tuesday morning with the promise that they'll arrive on Wednesday ... which they did - at 8pm (instead of the promised noon). As a result of that a bit late delivery he couldn't meet the Wednesday shipping deadline and sent our package first thing on Thursday morning, but unfortunately my plans for shipping over the weekend won't work as the box will arrive here on Monday - according to UPS : "Scheduled Delivery: Monday, 11/04/2013, By End of Day"

So barring anything else unexpected we expect to be shipping everything on Tuesday or Wednesday.

I've noticed all the EU bit fury chips have Bio....... on them but the US ones have ß on them just different packaging marks?

Yeah, I remember asking that question before (but I'm too tired to search for it right now to quote it Smiley)

In essence - the ones with the ß symbol were from the first packaging batch, and the ones with the BioInfoBank were from the subsequent packaging. Both chips are from the same silicon dies, so the silicon part in them is identical. I think I someone mentioned that the marking is such because BioInfoBank was the entity that actually paid the bill. Which doesn't really matter for us - as long as the chips work fine I could care less what does it say on the packaging.

And let's start the week with some good news:

Hi all,
today the first batch of NanoFury came out of trough hole assembly
here are some photos of the very first board of the production run.


We are working on heat sink now. To be ready until tomorrow morning then start shipping



I guess this is the one everyone has been waiting for Smiley

Note that some USB hosts/hubs may "work" at above-spec currents yet destroy the port over time!

The official BFGMiner 5.4 release will be using a new option to set the bits: --set-device osc6_bits=54
This also allows you to set it just for nanofurys: --set-device NFY:osc6_bits=54

also just thought of a possible tui improvement:

Add the current osc6 bits to the display lines. like gpu show fan speed etc

Interesting idea ...

By the way - bfgminer will start by default with 50 bits - as that's the one that is safely within the USB2.0 specs.

Our observations show that everything would most likely work just fine even at 52-54 bits, but since that would be pushing the boundaries you can do your own experiments and find out how much could your PC or hub tolerate. Hence the command-line parameter with the bits.

Keep in mind that the command-line parameter will set the default bits for all Bitfury chips. After you start bfgminer you can go to the device management and change the bits for each individual device - that way if you have devices or ports that tolerate a bit more you can set a different speed for just those individual devices. You can even set a different speed for every single one.

Another observation - it appears that bfgminer is able to squeeze out a few extra gigahashes than cgminer Smiley

Below is the same stats from bitminter of the device I've been testing for the last few days - running at 54 bits:

How is the production coming along, any eta?

When I spoke with Marto a few days ago he mentioned that he expects the first devices today or Monday.

bomb diggity so by next friday they could be in the mail?

Very likely. Presuming Marto gets everything on Monday (and manages to send us our box on Monday) we should have the devices by Thursday, which means that Friday we can be shipping. Even if the box arrives on Friday we can ship on Saturday.

We'll keep you guys updated.
