Support for Antminer stock firmware and Braiins OS added
Where FARMGOD starts: it reads and manages Antminers on Bitmain's stock firmware and on Braiins OS, side by side in one fleet.
FARMGOD starts with the miner most farms are built on: the Antminer. And it starts with the two kinds of software most of them run: Bitmain's own stock firmware, and Braiins OS.
What you get
- Found by the scan. Give FARMGOD a network range and it finds the Antminers in it, with model, firmware and pools.
- Read in full. Hashrate, temperatures, fans, power, pools, boards and chips.
- The firmware next to the model. Every miner shows which firmware it runs, and in which version.
- One fleet. A farm with both firmwares is one list. FARMGOD talks to each miner the way its firmware expects, and offers each one what its firmware can do.
Capabilities
What you can do from the dashboard with an Antminer on each of the two:
| Stock firmware | Braiins OS | |
