I am windows but the question is , is it for the new controller they have posted on there site

https://www.bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020160105102242316JqapyMif0705

or can they be used on S7 batch 5 with original controller ? if so what are the changes ?

Its just a BBB, which is used across all latest Antminers, but the thing is, the unique thing you need to turn the BBB into a controller is the daughter board, the unique thing to each miner.

Its also hard to tell which portion of the controller died. I guess having a spare would not hurt, but by itself, will not run any miners.

On the page itself it says that it is not included (The unique portion of each miner controller); "IO board doesn't included." Quoted exactly as Bitmain wrote it in their disclaimer.

No my S7 works fine I was just wondering will that firmware work in the beagle/daughter that's already in there I have batch 5 which is 600mhz.

and if it does what are there firmware fixes ??

Oh i see. Nobody really knows what the "fixes" does, nothing before or after seem to have visible change so since they seem to be very minor, changing firmware is generally considered a no go.

For which firmware to get, you have to put the right one in. If you put which miner and batch information in the order detail, they will give you the right firmware for it.

I don't want to buy beagle board or controller board I just want to know if its for the new beagles/controller boards the have on there site and can it be used on the old ones I have batch 5 ?
