S19, T19 & S19 Pro - EARLY ACCESS

• Access to early beta is possible only if you swap your x19 control board for an x17 control board. This is due to locked x19 control boards. Installation details can be found below. An alternative installation method will be available for the official public release.
• This is an early beta to gather feedback. We appreciate any enthusiasts taking part to provide feedback via our Help Desk.
• Not currently supported: S19i, S19j, S19j Pro, S19+ so signup for updates here!

Installation:

EARLY ACCESS Antminer S19, T19 & S19 Pro: to run the firmware on x19, replace the x19 control board with an x17 control board. Note that the C49 control board (used in S17/Pro and T17) has smaller dimensions and the cables might not be long enough to reach the hash boards of the x19. Continue with the standard x17 installation method (SD card method) or update the firmware to 21.09 if Braiins OS+ is already installed on the control board. The 21.09 firmware will detect whether it is being installed on an x19 (with x17 control board) model. You can always revert back to stock firmware for x17 on that control board. An alternative installation method will be available for the official public release.

For new installation from Stock firmware (x17 & S9): see documentation.

Automatic update:

if your current Braiins OS+ has auto-update enabled your device will be updated automatically. 

Manual update:

• You can also update using the web interface: flash the firmware by navigating to top-menu > System > Backup/Flash Firmware > Flash new firmware image >
  S9 (click here to download) or x17 (click here to download)
• Update in single/batch mode using BOS Toolbox Install tab > type your device IP address (or IPlist.txt) in the Miner(s) field and type the device password and click Start button.
