There are 3 parts inside the Bikal miner

1) OrangePi
2) Control Board
3) Hashing boards

Can you try swapping the OrangePi and Control Board and leaving the hashing boards the same between the x10 and Giant B?

@ismurdegus, have you tried this yet? See if it's just the control board determining the algo's, if it works, then maybe all you need to do is clone the control board to switch between the X10 and Giant B.


I will send you the link to the Giant B and X10 firmwares shortly.

If you want to try and see if you can run the GB setup feel free.
Obviously you do this and could risk damaging something.

If you decide to do this, limit your risk. By using your spare board and spare Orange Pi to be safe

  • Download the GB Image from Baikal
  • Flash a spare SDcard with the Giant b image
  • Place the GB firmware bin file in the folder “/media/boot/“
  • Inster SD Card in OrangePi
  • Rebuild miner and boot up

If everything we understand about the miner is true, that they are the same hardware, just with different firmwares, you would have effectively been the first known individual that has successfully transitioned the miner if all goes well.
