Topic: Modding VR control on the s9? (Read 812 times)
Sounds like good times.
It is an ISP header. I pulled firmware off the first one to come in the shop back in Batch 1, but since it was a customer machine I wasn't authorized to do anything that would void the warranty. Only enough to get the chip number and a firmware dump. I haven't seen what it'd take to modify my S7 firmware for an S9 but it's probably not difficult, I just don't have one to test it on.
Tell ya what, I'll be getting 2 more when Bitmain has more s9's for sale so how about I have one drop shipped to ya to tinker with?One thing I'd like to be able to tweak is the starting voltage. On my batch-1 and one batch-3 it usually takes a couple reboots to get all the cards firing on all cylinders. On the b1 it is card-3 (the usually hot one) but oddly enough on the b3 it is the middle card that needs a few restarts to get up to speed.

Man I could use a drop from .1 to .085 watts a gh.
let us know.

Has anyone paid attention to the power input area of the s9 hash boards? This detail I took from the pic of of the s9 board posted in the ad for it shows:
In the lower-left, doesn't that look suspiciously like a programming port for a voltage controller? The switching FET's are there under the heatsink (nice touch!) as well as a honking big inductor so I have to assume that the s9 does use a buck regulator.
Hmm. Curious minds have to wonder what might be done with that...
