More details:

Technically, our DevFee is collected periodically. The essential difference is that

a) we are waiting for the completion of work on the current share; b) when switching to DevFee, the miner does not restart.

We wait for the ASIC to finish working on the share, then very quickly switch to DevFee with low complexity and fast small shares. We then switch back to the main mining process. As a result, there is no downtime in the form of waiting or restarting the miner, and there are no unresolved issues.

I use ASICs with the Hiveon firmware. Why does Hive OS show that paid features are enabled?

These features are enabled when the farm is paid for (with money or fee). In this particular case, payment is made at the expense of the commission "built-in" into the Hiveon firmware.

What is the latest version of the Hiveon ASIC firmware?

X21 - 1.04

X19 - 1.04

L7 - 1.04

Can someone create firmware specifically for my ASIC?

Yes, it is possible. Please get in touch with our support team [email protected] with this request.

How can I upgrade to a new firmware version?

Straight from the Hive OS web interface.

Why won’t the firmware install through the Hive OS web interface?

A firewall or other internet issue is blocking the firmware download. Try downloading the firmware for the necessary version in the farm settings and then flashing through the ASIC web interface.

The ASIC is flashed with the latest BitMain firmware. I can’t flash it with Hiveon ASIC firmware.

The latest BitMain firmware has a custom firmware protection. You can flash an older version via USB/SD card with the files from here.

How to recover firmware using an SD card/usb drive on S19?

Format your USB drive or SD card.
Extract the downloaded files to the root directory of the drive.
Power off the ASIC machine.
Insert the SD card or USB drive (with an OTG adapter) into the slot next to the ethernet port.
Reconnect the power and wait for the green status light to turn solid. (Note: the ethernet lights will remain on during the flashing process.)
Once the process is complete, unplug the AC power cables and remove the USB/SD card.
Reconnect the power, and the machine will boot to the stock firmware.

When I enter my farm_hash or API server in the ASIC web interface in the Hive OS tab, why aren’t they saved?

The server API is stored in the ASIC configuration, it is not displayed in the web interface. The farmhash is only needed to add the ASIC; it is used to obtain the rig ID and password, which are written to the configuration file. The farmhash, on the other hand, is not stored anywhere.

How to use the FARM_HASH generator for bulk binding of ASICs to the farm in Hive OS?

You can use our FARM_HASH generator.

Any Antminer with Hive OS ASIC Client: https://download.hiveos.farm/asic/repo/farm_hash/

Antminer S19 / T19 with Hiveon firmware: https://download.hiveos.farm/asic/repo/farm_hash_hiveon_19/

Enter your farm_hash in the web form. The generator will then provide you with a special {FARM_HASH}.tar.gz file that you can upload to the ASIC via the web interface or using BTC Tools. This is not a Hiveon firmware file, it is a small configuration file.

First install the Hiveon firmware on the ASIC, and then flash this configuration file.

Note: after flashing the configuration file, BTC Tools will report an error. Don’t worry, we did this on purpose. The goal is to prevent the standard reboot procedure after flashing. Your farm's Farm_hash is entered, and the ASIC is linked to your Hive OS account.

We also recommend setting the update timeout in BTC Tools to 1200 seconds and updating no more than 5 ASICs at a time. To do this, go to the BTC Tools settings and set these parameters:

If I move the ASICs and they are not on the internal network, do I need to reconfigure anything?

No. The ASICs aren’t networked and connect from anywhere. All they need is the internet.

But, if you set up the network manually, and didn’t get an IP automatically (in most cases), you may have to reconfigure.

If ASIC is in another place, and I'm at home, how can I connect to it?

Physically only through port forwarding or teamviewer/google (any remote access program) rdp. If the IP is dynamic, then ddns.

How to find ASIC in a local network?

When your ASIC is powered on and assumed to be on the same network as you, connect to it using your computer or mobile device. Enter the IP address of your miner. Most miners come with DHCP enabled, so you don’t need to manually set the IP address for them. Instead, check the IP table on your router or use a scan tool, such as Advanced IP Scanner.

How to disable ASIC auto-reboot with one non-working board?

On the ASIC’s website in the watchdog settings. Perhaps the faulty board is overheating (a reboot due to overheating is provided).

Also, due to a faulty board, the autotuner may run for a very long time. You can wait for the tuner to finish or manually adjust the frequency and voltage on the boards.

How to get information regarding the ASIC's errors?

To get information on your ASIC's errors, you can click on any of the messages on the Workers screen from the HiveOS dashboard, and you will get an expanded view with more details for that specific error. SOC init failed SOC init failed details

ASIC's errors and their description

ERROR_SOC_INIT - driver initialization error
ERROR_REOPEN_CORE - error when reopening the cores
ERROR_FAN_LOST - loss of one or more coolers
ERROR_POWER_LOST - error in setting the voltage, error in determining the type of PSU
ERROR_EEPROM_INFO - error when reading the contents of the EEPROM (invalid format)
ERROR_TEMP_LOST - the temperature sensor is lost two or more times
ERROR_TEMP_TOO_LOW - the temperature is too low
ERROR_PIC_LOST - PIC initialization error on any board
ERROR_TEMP_LOST_1ST - restart cgminer to check the type of temperature sensor again (this is probably the sensor lost for the first time)
ERROR_UNBALANCE - an imbalance has occurred, reboot
ERROR_TEMP_TOO_HIGH - over the maximum temperature
WARN_NET_LOST - temporary loss of network connection
ERROR_NET_LOST - network connection loss

Why use a Flight Sheet with the firmware?

Without it, the ASIC mines using old parameters and does not show hashrates in the Hive OS web interface.

Are there any problems with reverse firmware?

There are no problems with reverse firmware, but the most suitable version for this case is the standard firmware version. Even better is to flash it with any other firmware, but first, through the Hive web interface, you will need to send a command to the ASIC to disable signature verification. Then, install any firmware via an SD card, or via the hive web interface, specifying the http link to the file with the firmware in tar.gz format.

Hive OS ASIC default password

Default SSH logins and passwords:

Antminer - default user: root or @root, default password: admin
Innosilicon - default (ssh/telnet) user:root, default password: blacksheepwall or innot1t2 or t1t2t3a5

If other login and password values were set up before you, then reset the ASIC to the factory settings. To do this, on the turned on ASIC, hold the ipreport and reset buttons, hold for 20 seconds, turn off the power supply, without releasing the pressed buttons. Wait for 10 seconds, without releasing the ipreport and reset buttons, turn on the power supply and hold ipreport and reset for 20 more seconds. Then release and wait for the load.

An error occurs during installation tar: short read.

When downloading the firmware via some browsers (for example, Opera on Windows or Safari on Apple), a tar: short read error may occur. In this case, we recommend using a different browser, such as Google Chrome. This situation may also occur if you run out of space on the ASIC, for example, due to a large number of log files. In this case, we recommend that you reboot the ASIC and try again.

You will see a tab in the ASIC for linking via farm_hash. And then you will have to make a choice: use the current firmware + Hive OS ASIC Client, or change the firmware. You can change the firmware to Hiveon firmware or any other firmware in the Hive dashboard.

Also make sure that you use the ".tar.gz" file for flashing, not ".tar".

Resetting the settings and rolling back to the factory firmware

Note: Restoring factory settings and rolling back to the factory firmware are different actions.

Resetting ASIC to Factory Settings Through the IP Address Dashboard

Access the ASIC's dashboard by entering its IP address in your web browser.
Log in with the current credentials.
Navigate to the System section, then to Upgrade, and select Perform reset, On some models the button will be labelled Restore Factory Settings.
Confirm the reset to proceed.

When resetting, the /config folder on the ASIC is cleared. This folder stores network settings, wallet addresses, and web passwords. If using Hive, the folder also holds configurations for binding to Hive, and for Hiveon firmware, it includes overclocking and tuning profiles.

Rolling Back to Factory Firmware

Access the ASIC's dashboard by entering its IP address in your web browser.
Log in with the current credentials.
Navigate to the System section, then to Upgrade, and select Uninstall.
Confirm the reset to proceed.

How to move ASIC to another Hive OS account?

You can apply the new farmhash on the IP Address Dasboard under System → Hive OS

As an option, you can perform the following actions in the web of Hiveon: Worker - Settings - Advanced - Transfer Rig

My worker has issues with connection to the server. What to do?

If you encounter problems connecting your worker to the Hive server, and there are frequent false online/offline events, you might try choosing a different URL to connect to the server. Also, sometimes it’s a firewall issue (your own ISP) and changing the port can help. To do this, you need to select your worker from the list, go to the settings section, select mirror, and choose the server that is the best for you.

What to do if the needed pool is not in the Flight Sheet?

If the pool you need is not in the list of pools in the Flight Sheet, select the "Configure miner" pool. Then specify the address and port in the miner configuration.

The pool settings are not saved. Why?

Because the Hiveon firmware is configured that way. You need to register on hiveos.farm, create a farm there, and insert farm_hash in ASIC. Then create a Flight Sheet on the site and enter your settings there. Apply this sheet to the ASIC that appeared in the farm on the website, and then the ASIC will "remember" those settings during the reboot.

How to roll back ASIC firmware

Select the appropriate firmware version from the Hive web interface.

What is the latest version of the Hiveon ASIC firmware?

For Hiveon 19 - 1.00 For Hiveon 17 - 2.04 For Hiveon S10 - 1.02 For Hiveon T9 - 1.03 For Hiveon L3 - 1.04 For Hiveon S9 - 1.03
