VS3 i like your design and cant wait for NF2
I`m ordered 32 chips so have some to playing with it:D
How cgminer or bgminer detect NF1/NF2 ?
are you planning build more powerfull miner with more chips?

Hello

bfgminer will detect both.
cgminer as far as I know doesn't detect the NF2 (it detects only first chip so it will essentially behave as a NF1).

I am also working on a USB miner with more chips but that's a bit questionable design as you'll somehow need to provide 5V at 2-3A to the device (which a standard USB port can't do). So, we'll see where that ends.

There is a different bitfury USB stick that cgminer supports with 2 chips. It would be trivial to add support for the 2nd chip to the existing NF1 driver as well, but as always would need testing on real hardware.

so generally cgminer right now dont support nf2 ?
Power is not a problem got from LED boards some PSU 5V 120Amps:D
i`m trying how connect chips to get in chain with power, meantime wainting for samples chips

I'm working on a fork that's something like that.

Making my baby public

https://github.com/Taugeran/NFx

She's nowhere near as elegant as the NF1 or NF2 but that's what revisions are for. When I go home for lunch today I'll push a new commit that has some updates

I do not want high end pcb only working to study and in near future create my own modular miner (not for sale)
Thanx i will study that when you submit updates:)
Schematic is on kicad?

Yup - I've ordered some samples - they're on the way. As soon as I get them I'll be testing them with the NF2 design.

Any news on NF2?

I think https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5480556 is interessting because the new chips need less power. So it should be easier to get two on a usb stick. Because they are pin compatible it should be possible to just put them in?

If anyone needs samples:

Thanks for responding, I already knew oscillator but the Mod with the pencil do not know, can you give me more information on obtaining more power even endangering miners.

Sure - here you go:

@vs3

can you elaborate on the req's to pencil mod the NFY similar to the BF1?

if the voltage setup circuits are anything similar: on BF1

rub graphite pencil across R15 until resistance measured across R15 and R16 is ~0.89Kohm

Yes - the procedure is almost identical - I'll repost what I wrote about that (on Marto74's thread) - let me know if that covers it or I missed anything:

Quote from: baros008 on November 06, 2013, 06:18:58 PM

Can you give me instructions for pencil mod?

See this image:

R2 and R3 determine the voltage:
V = 0.8*(R2+R3)/R3
(and factory settings are R2=100 and R3=2.4k for about 0.833V)

If you want to increase the voltage you can either increase R2 or decrease R3 (pencil mod decreases resistance).
And to lower the voltage - you can lower R2 or increase R3.

My 2 cents - start by first lowering the voltage. At least that's the safer option Wink

One clarification - on the early NF1s the voltage was 0.833V, while on the later ones it is 0.86V (R2 is 180 ohms) - it's a bit more stable there, and you also get a bit of a "factory overclock"

Is there any way to update the firmware of these devices such as blocks Bi-fury, to reach some more Hasheo.

thanks

They don't have a firmware limiting the hashes. All you need is just the oscillator option in bfgminer/cgminer (a.k.a. osc6). Or if you want to do some serious overclocking you may also consider doing a pencil mod to increase the voltage too. Have in mind that in that case you will need to deal with a lot more heat, and obviously provide provide more power.

BitFury chips are due in today and then we will start manufacturing a couple hundred.
We hope to have them out by mid March, but it's a new design. We don't expect any issues, but there usually are in bitcoin.

The NF2 have 2 chips or 1 and this only lead to maximum performance?
