test scripts for Bitmain BM1387 bitcoin mining ASICs

Primary LanguagePython

Some python tests scripts for communicating with the Bitmain BM1387 bitcoin mining ASIC.

The BM1387 is most famously used in the Antminer S9. AS far as I know there is no datasheet available for the BM1387, so this is all reverse engineering.

  • The Gekkoscience Newpac is a USB stick miner that has 2 BM1387 chips. The wareck modified cgminer that supports the newpac has some hints about how to communicate with the BM1387.

  • Braiins has released an open source OS for the Antminer S9 that also has some hints on communicating with chains of BM1387s via the Antminer's FPGA
