UPDATE v1074:
- atiflash for linux - for now its only program located at /root/utils/atiflash
If you know putty (ssh) then you can login into rig and flash custom bios remotly.
The flashing from dashboard will be propably implemented in future but not soon.
Right now you can do the flashing only by direct ssh into rigs.

thx so much this solve my problem when I want to flash card, because I must switch to windows and then switch back.

tytanick, takasugi, reelen,
Can help to do a short ssh primer on how to use the atiflash in smOS to be shared amongst miners here.
Because many of us were ex-Windows users with not much Linux exposure. Eg. How to upload ROM file in ssh? In future, making a wizard-like atiflash process in smOS would be nice if Tytanick plan to do it this way. Thanks

tytanick,
Do you think its good idea to create a library of known user submitted rom mods for smOS users to select (just like selecting miner apps). Obviously this will require strict evaluation so that smOS dont brick any GPUs.
Sure, this is a potential recipe for disaster, but this smOS feature will surely take your product to the next level.
Hopefully, we will have a collection of highly optimised rom mods specifically for certain coins and power consumption preferences. To have original roms by GPU model and vendor will be great too, so that we can revert GPUs back to original roms. Thanks

Hey,

For ATIflash on linux, its basically the same commands, but you need to upload the roms for sure. I personally use MobaXterm, it's a very solid SSH (and other) connections manager. So I just create a folder in the /home/miner and click ''upload file'' for now. After, it's just a better to atiflash -f -p 0 /home/miner/...

I do like your suggestion about a rom library. We could contribute to that, we created our own roms for many cards like the rx 480 gigabyte we couldn't find anywhere (29.5mhs each, 900W for 6 cards, not bad!). It could be something that you offer and you warn people that you are not responsible for any brick cards. Some advanced/expert interface with different level of roms (small OC, big undervolt, etc etc.)

I'm pretty sure a lot of your customers would be very happy to contribute on this, like us Smiley

Cheers!
