I know most folks don't really take stuff apart, but can someone confirm whether or not the new-batch S9 boards have the U2 digital potentiometer populated? The ones I've looked at from older batches don't, and I haven't seen any adjustments in voltage during startup so I wonder if these aren't made for a fixed core voltage. The new ones look to be adjusting voltage on the fly, like S7 boards should have been capable of, so either they're doing something unexpected or that dpot should be on there.

So it would seem like upgrading to the latest FW on the website on old miners is not advisable right now is that the general agreement here?

Grant you so far we have few data points but -- correct.

For the old miners, if the original/older firmware works then I say do not upgrade. Most of my miners except the B1 (changed to low voltage version) are running the firmware they shipped with.

As for applying the new firmware to the batch-16/17 miners, I am going to wait a bit to see any problems other folks have before *maybe* upgrading.

Ouch!!!!
One trick I learned after munging a s9 Frimware: Unplug the PCI power to the hash boards and power only the controller.

Power up, wait several min and see if the Bitmain GUI reports life (socket connection error goes away).
If no go, still only with controller power, press the reset button for ~ 10sec then release it. Wait several more min to see if it lives. If it is alive you should be able to set pools, etc even without the hash boards working.

If it comes back to life, power down, reconnect power to hash boards and pray everything works....

stupid as i am i did the firmware upgrade and this is all that happens now.

PS: its been like this for hours, ive done a few reboots too, and factory reset etc.

According to Bitmain support, this firmware is for all S9`s. look at the description of the file: Antminer-S9-all-201610180851-autofreq-user.tar
Be very careful updating your S9`s some of mine went mental in chip temp and I had to flash with older bios, something is very wrong with this bios.

I wonder how much it would freak out if you used an external PWM fan driver and piped through the tach line so it would still see the fan spinning?

Yup, I am thinking of something like that. Right now I have noticed that the tuning process can complete with only one fan online, while the other is unplugged. But bmminer stops immediately after tuning completes, and puts out an error message, when it detects a single fan.

Since other folks have mentioned the fan speeds change from time to time, my thought is that the firmware might be trying to maintain a specific 'best' chip temp to keep it stable. IF so...

Considering how long this autotune stuff takes, it would make a lot more sense if you could do it once and then re-use the conf file it created. Ideally you should be able to choose to use manual settings or use the autotune file and if the autotune file doesn't exist then you hit a button to go through the process and generate one. It shouldn't need to do this every single time. It would also make sense if you could at least raise the fan speed higher than the autotune level.

I received my Antminer S9 Batch 17 today. It takes almost 30 minutes to start mining. Meanwhile the fans are running loud and produce a weird harmonic, which is irritating at best.

I was snooping around a bit by sshing into the miner.

Looks like at bootup, the miner writes fresh config files and then runs a process called

Code:

single-board-test

single-board-test then runs scores of test possibly to characterise the ASIC chips; which was the output being seen in the Kernel log.

Finally bmminer is instantiated to start mining.

Code:

/usr/bin/bmminer  --version-file /usr/bin/compile_time --api-listen --default-config /config/bmminer.conf

bmminer, first sets fan PWM to 100 then reduces it to 30. It's still plenty loud at 30. It would be good to be able to manually control the fan speed.

Along with the ASIC strings on the board running different frequencies, the gods forbid, is EACH ASIC's speed different as well?? Sure looks like it to me otherwise what's the point of recording per-chip speeds? Is it even possible to do that (different speed per-ASIC)? I'd think that it would raise hell with timing the data xfrs...

If this is the case then the boards reported speed is the average of all speeds being used on the board.

I have two older miners with older firmware.

I also have one spare controller with older firmware.

I have a miner with a problematic board (an earlier batch, like 3 or something) and I have to reboot it many times to get a decent hashrate from the problem hashboard. If the reboot process took a lot longer, that sounds like a pain in the ass. Unless this process actually guaranteed a good boot from that board. I am skeptical though.

Supposedly new firmwares are going to be available on the website for download soon so I would guess they will be releasing this kind of thing to buyers of earlier batches.

Just got a s9 batch-17 and... Bitmain has changed the firmware.

Looks like changing the frequency may be gone. There is no longer a GUI option to change it. On startup, the firmware goes through several checks per-board and sets the best freq and possibly Vcore as well per-board. When all is done, the boards report different frequencies. This could turn out to be rather -- interesting.

How Spondoolies-ish - though without the voltage adjust feature from the SP20....

Auto-tuning is a good idea, but only if it's an option and not a mandate. There should be manual control of everything, with an automatic everything as an optional setting.

Course, I think the same thing about cars and nobody pays attention to that either.

Electrical engineer. Mining since 2014.

Is there a fixed hash rate which is achieved by the miner setting up different freqs per board? (best working settings per board)
