Hi
I bought a LV08 and I didn't realised the software was so locked down. I have a BitAxe Gamma, and this is great.
Since the LV08 has "no upgrade Firmware" option, does anyone have any details on how I can put a different firmware onto it ?
I don't want to brick it, but I always don't want the (probably) untrustworthy Firmware on it.
THANKS
I am using a CP2104 USB to TTL Flasher.
The 6 pins are located near the esp32.

- Connect GND on the CP2104 to GND on the LV08.
- Connect RX on the CP2104 to TX on the LV08.
- Connect TX on the CP2104 to RX on the LV08.
2. Entering Programming Mode:
- Power up the LV08.
- Short the GND and IO0 pins on the LV08.
- While keeping them shorted, press the reset button on the LV08.
- After pressing reset, remove the short between GND and IO0.
3. Flashing the Unlocked LV08 Factory Firmware with any of the following tools
- Bitaxetool (bitaxetool --firmware ./esp-miner-factory-lvxx-vx.x.x-x.x.x.bin)
- ESPTool (esptool.py --port PORT --baud 230400 write_flash 0x000000 ./esp-miner-factory-lvxx-vx.x.x-x.x.x.bin)
- Web Adafruit ESPTool (offset 0x000000)
What command did you use to save the original firmware. Thanks for the porting the AxeOS...
