Oh, I see, I didn't know that.  Partly it is understandable from the point of view of the manufacturer, but on the other hand, they should do a much more flexible firmware.
Generally I would be happy with a higher level of openness/interoperability/transparency in the mining HW business.

The thing is, Bitmain does that to STOP  you from tuning them.  They make a lot of money by using market diferrentiation...

They take a 95TH unit, and re-tune it and it's a 110 TH unit.  But they sell it for thousands more. 

They don't want you buying the cheap unit and tuning it yourself.
