HI, quick question for everyone.

I have a ZTEX 1.15y with one of the chips broken/Not working. With other FPGAs, reflashing the software has often taken care of such problems.


So, if I wanted to reflash, is THIS the right command?

Code:
java -cp ZtexBTCMiner-121126.jar BTCMiner -m p -pt ztex_ufm1_15y1 -f ztex_ufm1_15y1.ihx

Code is right. What's the problem with the chip ? Immediate downclocking ? I have to restart my board over and over again to use the broken chip. It will mine then with 144 MHz, the others at normal speed. When I have to reboot my PC I do it again. Sometimes it works after 3 times, sometimes after 20 but it always works. Start, let overheat kick in, control C and restart the board. Just set -oh to 0.7 or bigger.
