Because firmware version 1.2.5 supports XLINK I was thinking of linking my jalapenos together (when I finally get them), but I've seen some pictures without the CPLD and connectors, are they no longer installing them on the jalapenos?

It's tempting to find alternatives but the Dragon is so cheap, it's not worth the risk.

Hodl!
So it just came to my attention that PCI-e has a JTAG interface built in, just wondering if therefore you can just solder some wires to a PCI-e x1 extender and hook that up....

Not managing to sip from the google firehose that well though, as to whether it's fully functional from the Host PC/OS side, and you can get a programmer to work with it.

(What I'm getting for PCIe JTAG, is a crap load of $$$$ development cards)

Worked flawlessly, did it on 2 units. Do be careful, they are smt

How did bending the pins go?  I'm really good at snapping them off.

Only 15 of the 16 engines in each chip can be used with the current design so you can't enable engine 0. If you try to enable it, you will be unable to run more than one chip so you'll be limited to ~4.5GH.

Is this a current ASIC or board design limitation?

Flashing mine tonight, is that the latest firmware? I want to use the automatic one. I think the kano one
Yeah I'm sticking to the standard 1.2.5 firmware from Nasser (as per my blog)

Of course you may be able to get it faster with modifying the code, but (unexpectedly?) I'm rather not inclined to try and destroy it Smiley
(even my 2 year old 2x6950's have never be unlocked or had a voltage mod done to them)

The 1.2.5 is a pretty safe bet on not pushing it too hard (but certainly is a good gain over 1.0.0 for any Jalas that are underclocked) and at this point in time, they do still make reasonable BTC so IMO best to try help them keep doing that Smiley

I build myself code in Atmel Studio
https://forums.butterflylabs.com/announcements/3282-bitforce-sc-firmware-version-1-2-5-a.html

I tried three times but did not help... the same errors
I use newest cgminer 3.3.0

If you compiled it yourself, I'd try flashing it again with the precompiled .hex.
Where I get this precompiled hex ?

BAM means BFL ASIC Minirig, so it looks like it's not being identified properly.
Did you compile the firmware yourself or did you use the precompiled .hex? If you compiled it yourself, I'd try flashing it again with the precompiled .hex.

Ah good catch, could be an incorrect define in the header.

What's a bam? Have you restarted the device?

Ofcourse, I restarted device.

I asume BAM is my jalapeno... before flashing was BAJ, I think...

I check in my Windows 8 and Ubuntu... the same errors... before flashing everything worked properly.
What can I do ? Sad

If flashing again doesn't help, make sure you have the latest cgminer.
