Re: Hacking The KNC Firmware: Overclocking

So I have this very temperamental miner with around 6-7 sleepy dies on 3 boards with the 4th board being OK.
At stock clock I can easily awaken them by applying max voltage to all 4 dies of a single board and when I see them kick in I quickly lower them back to safe values.

But whenever I try to overclock it the dies fall asleep and because I need to change voltage settings to awaken them the overclock disappears Sad
And that same miner used to be overclocked with all dies working, but I don't remember how I did it.

Any ideas? Is there a way to NOT remove the overclock when changing voltage settings?

so everytime you hit click on "Apply" button on the "Adavenced" tab, the clock is resetted to default?

edit:

I've gone through the code and it seems that what happened when you click on apply is the execution of this command:

Code:
    waas -c /config/advanced.conf > /dev/null
    killall monitordcdc

in /config/advanced.conf there's a JSON rappresentation of the data contained in the Advanced tab.

This means  that waas command reset all the default value for the PLL. Unluckily there's no source code for waas executable.
