BDLMiner V2 2.5.3

Bitaxe Gamma 601 overclocking and a new web interface; mining on the other boards
is unchanged from 2.5.2 and the update installs over WiFi.

  • Profiles up to 800 MHz. Local Settings > Safety offers 525 to 800 MHz in 25 MHz
    steps, and ESP-Miner's 690 MHz preset (up to 2.5.2: 690 MHz at most). Above 690 MHz
    is the overclocking range AxeOS leaves to custom values.
  • The voltage that goes with it. A new 1300 mV core voltage, and choosing a profile
    raises the voltage to its own: 1150 mV up to 600 MHz, 1200 mV up to 675, 1250 mV up
    to 725, 1300 mV up to 800. It is never lowered automatically and can still be chosen
    by hand.
  • Temperature limits as in ESP-Miner. The ASIC stops at 75 °C (was 70 °C) and the
    regulator at 105 °C (was 90 °C), ESP-Miner's own values. The thermal limit of the
    settings goes up to 73 °C (was 68 °C) so that mining still pauses before that stop.
    The current (30 A), fan, supply and voltage-window stops are unchanged, and so is
    the fallback to 525 MHz on instability.
  • ESP32-S3 boards with the chip's sensor keep their full hashrate. The thermal
    limit defaults to 75 °C (was 65 °C) on the boards that read the chip's own sensor
    (T-Display, T-Display-S3, Cheap Yellow Display, boards without a screen): the die
    runs warmer than the board, and a T-Display-S3 mining at full speed stayed on the
    50 % step from 55 °C, at 176 instead of 351 kH/s. Reduction now starts at 65 °C. A
    board still at the former 65 °C default is raised once; other saved values are
    kept. M5Stack devices, whose IMU can read the board next to the battery, and ASIC
    boards keep 65 °C.
  • A new web interface. The miner's dashboard, settings and log pages, the
    Linux/Raspberry Pi hub and the website share one design in the style of
    exchange templates: flat dark surfaces, solid blue actions, green change badges. The website is now built with
    React and Next.js; its home page shows the live fleet by board, with
    family tabs and a search. It opens dark, with
    a button for a light theme. Pages, settings and controls are where they were.

Overclocking means more heat and power: watch the ASIC and regulator temperatures, with
a heatsink and the 5 V fan properly mounted. Profiles above 625 MHz have not been
validated on a physical Gamma 601.

Validation

All host and browser tests pass, with new checks of the 800 MHz profile at 1300 mV
(PLL and regulator command), of the 75 °C and 105 °C stops (and nothing below them) and
of the voltage that the settings page pairs with each profile. Not yet run on a Gamma.
