It is usually the setting the base clock as fas as this timor working is concerned.

whats the current status for this project reg. X10 ? Can it add features/functions already (like other algos or overclocking) ? Any results that someone could share ?

The algo doesn’t really work and they have done that on a purpose.

Has anyone discovered the root password?

"root/baikal" is worked for me.

Hi Code3Gen
What is max BAIKAL_CLK_DEF, I can set for Baikal Giant B, I can set 480MHz now, but when I set to 520MHz, my baikal Giant B still 480MHz.
Could you please help me?
Thanks in advanced

I have tried Cod3gen version 1.7 Sgminer with my baikal X10 GX10_180410_V1.2 firmware but my X10 can not detect device - No devices only.
Thanks
Thanks
Its not finalized, so no - it wont work yet.

The latest firmware (v1.7) for the stm32f407 (released in PiZero_GX10_180410_V1.2.img) has changes that makes our software non functional. If people want to run this source, they need to help reverse engineer it or keep the v1.6 firmware from PiZero_GX10_171229_V1.1.img
I've started reverse engineering it, but am not done yet. I'll gladly share notes with anyone who's interested.

A new branch on github containing the start of changes for v1.7 and above firmware. Anyone is welcome to participate to ensure we will have this open source alternative. https://github.com/cod3gen/sgminer-baikal/tree/dev-1.7

If someone can make this into a simple image file to flash card with it would be greatly appreciated.

I’m thinking of hiring an embedded developer to work on the firmware here... further GiantB overclock and x10 algos /overclock. what do you folks think?
Hey, go for it! ;-)
i can't install anything in Baikal N 
!how to fixx it
!how to fixx it You need to add swap space. Solution can be found in readme on github for this miner.

Its been brought to my attention from multiple points that this version will OC Baikal Giant B!
Compiling and using my version it will deliver ~10-15% more hashes on LBRY than stock version based on pool side results. Great news for Giant B owners, which im not..!! :-S
Some changes in code and it will deliver even more. Will add a new post when i`ve had access to a Giant B.

This is wonderful - thanks for your work here. I’ve got a GiantB and X10 I’m willing to tinker with if we think there’s potential for me here... what changes to the code are we talking about?

Guys, I'm seriously a noob at all this.
I have a question .. hoping you can help.
Is there a way to update the new Nist5 firmware update from Baikal for the X10 without physical access to the machine? You will be saving me a lot of unnecessary time and expense wasted if this is possible.
Thanks a million in advance.

If you can mount the updated image on your machine, you can copy contents from /opt/scripta folder to your miner via SCP. You will also need firmware update file which is located on the FAT partition of the image, i cannot remember which script to use on the miner to update the firmware at the moment - maybe someone else remembers it?
If you don't mind directly editing the miner.conf file for pool settings then only two files are required to be copied:
Updating sgminer and the STM firmware seems to be all that is needed. Both are obviously found in the new image file using something like 7zip to open the archive, then browse to 1.img/opt/bin/scripta/sgminer and 0.fat/GX10.bin. Copy both to your X10, the GX10 file should go in /media/boot. Rebooting should auto-update the STM firmware.
Remember to do
Remember to do
Code:
chmod +x /opt/scripta/bin/sgminer
after you've replaced the old version. If you want to be able to use the web interface for modifying your pools then a bit more work is required, but I haven't looked into it. After you've copied the new firmware file you can run:
Code:
sudo python /usr/bin/update_fw.py

I dont know if you can do it via the command prompt etc.
However, I did by pulling out the microSD card and overwriting .
It worked a treat!
However, upgrading is not really worth it!! No better returns

it would be excellent to have 400Mhz with myriad groestl (Verge)..... only 300W excellent ROI

Hi. Can I run sgminer 5.6.2-BK_cod3gen_MOD it on Baikal mini?? I put it together, but he can't see the Board. 0 devices.
No. Only X10 / B / CN Can be used, even though it includes driver-baikals which seems to be for units like the Mini.
What are those other algos? I looked through this whole thread but didn't see the list. I remember seeing the list posted in the other Baikal x10 thread but not sure which page it was on. The list was from the code of the x10 miner
Groestl and/or Veltor.
I can *do* some hardware design work, forget being interested. Although I'm far from experienced at such.
Hardware is one thing, more interested in firmware at this point, however i haven't been working any more on this after the latest update with more algos.
All limitations seems to be on firmware level. With a better firmware OR knowledge of its features it is possible to both under-/over-volt (X10, B) and under-/over-clock (X10, CN). According to some sources, it seems to be possible to adjust both voltage and frequency at single section (each section contains 8 hashing chips).
Some changes are required for this sgminer to make it work on all algo`s for X10 after latest firmware release, have not looked into it yet.
