Pre-release
ESP-Miner-Bonanza v0.1.0-beta.3
Prototype beta for Bitaxe Bonanza board 1002, paired with bonanza-bridge-fw 0.0.1-beta.2 using bridge protocol 1.0.
Supported feature summary
| Feature | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Four-chip BZM2 mining | π’ Working | All four ASICs and 944 engines prove mining at 800 MHz, then continue mining while the controller moves to the configured target. |
| Stratum V1 and V2 | π’ Working | Primary and fallback pools, encrypted Stratum V2 transport, share submission, and recovery are supported. |
| Bonanza startup and safety supervision | π’ Working | Bridge compatibility, safe-off ownership, power sequencing, runtime fault handling, and controlled restart are enforced. |
| Bonanza health dashboard | π’ Working | Bonanza Miner Health, hashrate, shares, pool state, hottest fresh ASIC temperature, measured ASIC-rail power, fan speed/RPM, and ASIC/engine diagnostics work. |
| Wi-Fi, mDNS, and Swarm discovery | π’ Working | Setup, .local access, discovery, device listing, remote settings, restart, and identify are available. |
| Scoreboard and logs | π’ Working | Highest-difficulty shares, live WebSocket logs, filtering, and log downloads are available. |
| ESP firmware and AxeOS OTA | π’ Working | esp-miner.bin and www.bin can be uploaded through AxeOS or the HTTP API. |
| RP2040 bridge update and blank-bridge recovery | π’ Working | Manifested raw bridge images are programmed and read-back verified over onboard SWD. |
| Pause and resume mining | π’ Working | AxeOS and the REST API revoke dispatch, force and verify OFF_SAFE, then resume through the complete 2.8 V / 800 MHz production startup before restoring the configured live target. |
| Recoverable overheat protection | π’ Working | ASIC temperatures above 75 C or regulator temperatures above 105 C close dispatch, force verified OFF_SAFE and 100% fan, cool for at least 30 seconds and to a regulator temperature no higher than 95 C, then reduce voltage/frequency by 100 mV/100 MHz and repeat full production startup. |
| Frequency targeting | π’ Working | AxeOS accepts 800β2000 MHz without rebooting. The controller keeps mining through a bounded initial shortcut and then advances directly to the user target in 25 MHz steps, replacing work between steps. |
| Direct voltage tuning | π’ Working | AxeOS accepts an aggregate TPS546 rail target from 2.1β3.2 V and applies it live with command, PGOOD, status, and telemetry readback validation. |
| Automatic and manual fan control | π’ Working | The ESP PID/manual task drives the bridge after mining reaches RUNNING, with a hardware-qualified 36% command floor and a 1000 RPM live interlock. Safe/off, maintenance, and overheat states force 100%. The matching bridge image is included in Bonanza releases. |
| On-device display | π΄ Blocked by display firmware | The optional Bonanza display is a separate RP2354A/SSD1322 computer connected to ESP GPIO4β7, not an upstream passive IΒ²C panel. Its repository publishes hardware only, with no RP2354 firmware or host protocol to implement against. Generic ESP-Miner display settings therefore do not control it. |
| Bonanza-aware latest-release lookup | π’ Working | AxeOS queries the ESP-Miner-Bonanza feed, accepts its published beta releases, and links the ESP firmware, AxeOS filesystem, and matching bridge image. |
Highlights
- Adds automatic and manual bridge-owned fan control, fan percentage/RPM telemetry throughout AxeOS, the hardware-qualified 36% floor, and forced 100% fan in startup, safe-off, maintenance, fault, shutdown, and overheat states.
- Adds guarded mining pause/resume in AxeOS and the REST API. Pause revokes dispatch and proves
OFF_SAFE; resume repeats full 2.8 V / 800 MHz startup validation before restoring the saved live target. - Adds upstream-style recoverable overheat handling: ASIC temperatures above 75 C or TPS546 temperatures above 105 C force safe-off and 100% fan, require at least 30 seconds of cooling and TPS546 temperature at or below 95 C, reduce the saved target by 100 MHz / 100 mV, and retry complete startup automatically.
- Completes live frequency and direct voltage targeting, bridge firmware update/recovery, Bonanza health reporting, latest-beta discovery, and safe restart integration.
- Hardens live PLL changes with the BIRDS 1-second TDM read window, scheduled safety-lease servicing, and bounded retries for transient I/O/readback failures.
The optional RP2354A/SSD1322 display remains blocked on external display firmware and a published ESP host protocol.
