Miner Type = T9+ Check chain[1] PIC fw version=0x90 chain[1] PIC need restore ...
fw version is 0x90 but it says it needs restored.. Next run you see it's corrupted:
Check chain[1] PIC fw version=0xff chain[1] PIC need restore ...
Then it repeats that every run incorrectly reflashing as many as it can before the forced auto-reboot. If given enough time, it kills 1 chain after another. Then those chains no longer work.. Reached out to bitmain support on this but so far not much luck. Either something changed with the newer autotune firmware or it was a fluke but I upgraded to Nov 2018 release & everything was working fine for many days. Built this per instructions including setting the miner type, threw it on the T9+ and upon running it detects firmware is incorrect & attempts to flash the dsPIC33EP16GS202_app.txt hex file that comes with the Nov update only to fail with errors. It eventually reboots itself repeating that process multiple times killing more & more cards with each reboot. Not sure at this point if the Nov dsPIC33EP16GS202_app.txt file is incompatible with the older source, if there's a bug in the source or what exactly transpired but adding this bug report to hopefully prevent anyone else from running into this issue. Hopefully I get solution from bitmain but I might have to resort to copying good board with PICkit3 but hoping there is a software fix available. Until then, anyone using this source BEWARE!! At minimum you'll want to modify the source to ignore the "incorrect" firmware version or at least disable the auto-flashing process in the code which what I did but not until after it killed cards. :(

Do really think that Bitmain publishes here the real source code 😂

If it doesn't it would explain why so many customers which to someone else's firmware.
