Re: Official FutureBit Apollo BTC Software/Image and Support thread

Questions:

1. How many Standard (hashboard only) units can be managed from the Full package (controller) unit? I already have one full package unit which I ordered in Batch 1, and have two standard hashboard-only units on order from Batch 2. I want to know if I could manage a third standard unit from my existing controller unit, or is two the maximum?

2. I am currently using the Futurebit PSU in Turbo mode. Is there a significant advantage to upgrading the PSU to achieve 3.8Th/s or does running the Apollo BTC at this level dramatically reduce their lifespan, and cause them to overheat?

Thanks in advance.

Can anyone tell me how to get audio to output via HDMI, if this is even possible? I am using a KVM switch and audio is sent to my speakers via HDMI for the other all the other connected devices devices connected (Windows PC / Raspberry Pi / MiSTer). I can't find a way to get audio to output through the HDMI port.

(PS Unrelated - is there a way to search only this thread on this forum? I can't figure out how to do it.)

Is there a way to turn off the flashing red status LED? I find it constantly flashing on my desk really irritating. Could it not be updated so that it only flashes during start up, or if there is a problem, and turns off entirely when everything is functioning normally?   (i.e. node + miner both running okay)

Thanks. I did see something in the release notes about the swap file being increased for future lightning apps etc. Does that get installed when update via the web UI?

If I want to upgrade to the latest update, is the only way to do this to reflash the MicroSD card? Will doing this factory reset the device, so that I have to setup the miner from scratch again, and resync everything?
