hey all, just wanted to say thank you!!! to the OP! This stuff is great, lol.

So I have two jally's and both have been upgraded to the 1.2.5 Firmware. I started with the image provided, but in the end compiled by own version of the firmware. However, the first questions I have is that to matter the index setting, 7,8,or 9 the hash rate does not change on the miners. Not sure why the changes I make are not uploading to the Jally. I know I have chosen the correct image when compiled to load up the jally, but something just is not right.

Also, I believe the chips I have a "lower" quality chips, as one is maxing out aroung 7.8 and the other around 7.2 with a higher error rate than the other, here is the

GetInfo result for Jally 1:
Code:
DEVICE: BitFORCE SC0x0a
FIRMWARE: 1.2.50x0aIAR
Executed: NO0x0a
CHIP PARALLELIZATION: YES @ 20x0a
QUEUE DEPTH:400x0a
PROCESSOR 3: 13 engines @ 255 MHz -- MAP: CFFE0x0a
PROCESSOR 7: 15 engines @ 259 MHz -- MAP: FFFE0x0a

And here is Jally 2 GetInfo:
Code:
DEVICE: BitFORCE SC0x0a
FIRMWARE: 1.2.50x0aIAR
Executed: NO0x0a
CHIP PARALLELIZATION: YES @ 20x0a
QUEUE DEPTH:400x0a
PROCESSOR 3: 15 engines @ 268 MHz -- MAP: FFFE0x0a
PROCESSOR 7: 15 engines @ 258 MHz -- MAP: FFFE0x0a
THEORETICAL MAX: 7890 MH/s0x0a
ENGINES: 300x0a FREQUENCY: 274 MHz
0x0aXLINK MODE: MASTER0x0a
CRITICAL TEMPERATURE: 00x0aX
LINK PRESENT: NO0x0aOK0x0a0x00

Any idea on how to get all the engines running on the first Jally so it can match the others performance? I see in the other precompiled images, there was something done to perform less checks on the procs, but not sure on all of it, just the index. Anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks in advance and thanks for everyones hard work!!!
