What if you don't need the new firmware (Z1+) to OC the Z1 miner?

On the Settings page, you can import/export the config file of the miner.
The first two settings you find in there are:

{"auto_frequent":"0","frequency":"900"

You could just change the frequency value in that file (miner.json) from 900 to 925 or 950.
It could work...or not (fried chips/board)

Needless to say that:
- this will void the warranty
- do it at your own risk

I haven't had any success making changes to the JSON file.  Everytime I change anything, it refuses to boot.

Maybe you need to upgrade the firmware?
I have version 20180926 and when i change somthing in the JSON file it "works".
Just tested it and now it shows 950MHz on the main page...i just have no way to check if it really runs at 950MHz or if it just shows the value i set in that file.

If that is for Z1+ and Z1+ and Z1 should be the same, then why 900mhz is still max and considered an overclock? Just look inside the files. To get 7.2, they probably need to OC to 950mhz, or, it is a different design.

Maybe it is a different design and the Z1+ has more chips.
In that case, they don't need to go over 900MHz to get the 7.2GH/s

Dear friends new firmware upload
Thank you
Advance


Where is the new firmware?

Thanks!

Hey Mattaero

I found here a new firmware:
https://www.cryptominerbros.com/dayun-zig-z1-firmware-upgrade-guide

I installed it and the only thing that changed, is that the miner needs ~80W less power for the same hashrate.
Evrything else didn't change. I still have the same stability problems.


That link shows the 09/26 date firmware. They were referring to a newly announced firmware yesterday. Do you know where that is?

There is a new firmware, but its for Zig Z1+ :

Anyone tried flashing this?  Onto a regular Zig Z1...

From the pictures it appears that + runs at 925. No idea why the firmware files are named like that.

"lyra2rev2-asic-x": "4",
"lyra2rev2-asic-y": "24",
"lyra2rev2-asic-num": "50",

I suppose "asic-x" = 4 means there are 4 hash-boards, "asic-y" = 24 means there are 24 chips in each has-board.
So does anyone know the meaning of "asic-num" =50?
I tried a value of 80 and ran for 12 hours. The hashrate still not stable, but no offline. Need more time to test.

Hey sysubeing

I also think that "asic-x" = 4 means there are 4 hash-boards and "asic-y" = 24 means there are 24 chips on each board.
Don't know what "asic-num" =50 is so i googled a bit...

I found out that some switches (Cisco) also have an option called "asic-num". And it says: (Optional) ASIC number. Valid range is from 0 to 255.
The only values i know that go from 0 to 255 are IPs, subnet and other network stuff. Maybe it's the port that it's using? So it could just be a setting for the network...


But i also have a theory.

"asic-x" = 4 (boards)
"asic-y" = 24 (chips on each board)
"asic-num" = total number of chips?

By default it's set on 50, but the miner has 4*24 = 96 chips

As i said, it's only a therory, but i'm going to test it next time i need to restart the miner.

Try setting your first pool to something other than nicehash.
also noticed: -check-testnonce": false, w/ #xnsub added.

BAH this is so frustrating.

I created a new boot drive using an extra USB I had laying around, and literally nothing happens when I put it in except the fans turning on.

The red light appears to always be on or flashing as well.  I think I got a defective one. 

Anyone know how I contact Dayun to try and send it in?

Well I finally got it working (ish)  It had to do with requiring a static IP vs a dynamic one.  I had to go into my router and set a static IP and then followed a video sent by my chinese supplier (which was super helpful) to set it up.

NOW I just have a bunch of rejected shares at Suprnova... fml.

I seem to be having the same problem as you were setting up my Zig Z1.  I created a new flashdrive from image file, updated firmware, changed frequency to 800, nothing is working.  Any suggestions?  thanks

Also, what pool are you mining on? 

I'm mining on NiceHash.

As noted above by someone, I am almost positive the new Zig Z1+ is just a firmware update.  If I was willing to risk my $4500 ASIC by buying another one and trying to flash it with the updated firmware I would... But I don't have the guts to try it.  I can echomost people here, I get an average of about 6.2 Gh/s at 850 and its been stable for 4 days now.  BUT that includes about 5-7% stale shares.  Hopefully an updaated firmware will come out that allows some of the CGMiner parameters to be changed like Scan-time, Expiry and other settings that would probably reduce stale shares.  Hopefully it comes at a decent time. 

Either way, to my knowledge, this is the only company selling Lyra2Rev2 asics and it is clearly not even close to as large as Bitmain, so we may get a few months of decent returns before they really flood the market (whenever Bitmain gets around to it)

Also hoping for a new firmware to change some CGMiner parameters.
I exportet the miner.json file over the Settings page but there are not much settings you can change.
Maybe you can add some parameters there, maybe...but i didn't try it.

My miner, compared to yours, is running at 900MHz with an average hashrate of 6.4-6.6 GH/s. My Rejected rates are between 1-3%
But, i need/have to reboot the miner after 24-36h. And most of the time i need to reboot it serveral times before it goes back to normal.

Yeah I have tried making changes to the config and json file from my computer, but it makes the miner unable to function and I end up having to reformat and create a new boot drive.  It is very irritating, so I just use the stock settings.

As for hashrate, I can run at 900 mhz for about 6-8 hours getting about 6.4, but then hashboard 3 almost always fails and I have to restart.  Annoying but I don't seem to have any problems at 850.

Also, what pool are you mining on?

Does anyone know who's behind the Dayun mining company? It seems quite secretive with very little information available online.

As I know Dayun mining company was a small but very good / low profile company, I heared someone from Japan bought second Z1 miner machine today from www.akminer.com too.

I know www.akminer.com is was from this forum https://askmona.org/3738?n=1000, I don't know Japanese but I have use google translate to understand it's because like everybody in the beginning I have doubt www.akminer.com too.

It is also possible that I have problems with stale shares because I have 7 asics  of different kinds going through 1 switch, so since I can't make changes to the CGMiner settings, it may be causing some sort of bottleneck and causing the stale shares at nicehash.
