IMAGE 2.24.0: Released 2020-12-05
To update to PIMP IMAGE 2.24.0 you must re-image your SSD with the new .img file and re-configure.
Changes from 2.15:
Added support to allow onboard GPU to be enabled and/or display the desktop on most onboard GPUs
Added AMD ROCm 3.5.50 drivers and utilities
Added mining support for amd vega/5600/5700/vii (not gputool support, coming soon, use the other tools in /opt/pimp in meantime)
Added some beta team features and packages by default
Added mc, nnn file managers
Added glxinfo tool for diagnostics troubleshooting
Updated Ubuntu to 18.04.5 LTS
Updated all system packages, software, confs, and miners to currently available
Updated AMDGPU-PRO drivers to v20.10
Updated CUDA to v11.0 and added 10.2 support for backwards compatibility
Updated NVIDIA drivers to 450.80.02
Updated Linux Kernel to 5.0.0-31, removed HWE kernel
Updated amdmeminfo, amdmemtweak, tmate, and teleconsole utilities
Updated ufw firewall to be enabled by default
Updated minerfarm agent to enable verbose --logging by default
Updated default configs to new sandbox pools using confgen
Removed dstm, nsgminer and old xmrig forks as no longer used
Removed dhcp:no from default static netplan config, not needed
Special thanks to the PIMP Beta team for extensive QA on this build!
Got it. Ha, Hope you still have those coins! Plenty more to be made too. Welcome back :)
You can place the x1 riser into the front portion of the x16 slot, be careful it faces correctly or that'll be the end of that slot and more.
Thank you very much doc!
I have given it a clean start.
I verified that gputool as well as pimp --start 1 was disabled in /root/startup.sh so that was not the problem.
Removed voltage flags from phoenixminer config file.
Rebooted and restarted.
Same thing, crash after just a few minutes.
After dropping the whole thing for a while I thought I would try a different miner.
BANG! that was it! with claymoredual miner and all default it run great! Took rather lot of power but it run.
I let it run like that over night to see so it was stable. It was, it run ok for like 12 houres.
Now it feels like I have a working baseline.
Re-imaged the SSD with PiMP beta 2.17, to get a clean start.
Run pimpup, updated claymoredual, miner nr10. rebooted.
using echo "s 1 1300" > /sys/class/drm/card2/device/pp_od_clk_voltage and echo "m 1 1300" > /sys/class/drm/card2/device/pp_od_clk_voltage followed by echo "c" > /sys/class/drm/card2/device/pp_od_clk_voltage to apply the clock speed for core and mem.
Does it for all the cards.
In that way I could gradually take the speed up to the same as I had under win 10.
But voltage I could not set this way.
Voltage I had to set by altering the frequency / V curve.
GPU[0] : OD_VDDC_CURVE:
GPU[0] : 0: 800MHz @ 800mV
GPU[0] : 1: 1150MHz @ 805mV
GPU[0] : 2: 1550MHz @ 810mV
curve above is made with following comands.
rocm-smi -d 0 --setvc 0 800 800
rocm-smi -d 0 --setvc 1 1150 805
rocm-smi -d 0 --setvc 2 1550 810
then I run echo "c" > /sys/class/drm/card2/device/pp_od_clk_voltage to apply the new values ( not sure I need ).
Work great!
Now it looks like this, GPU[0] is the ASUS card, GPU[1] and GPU[2] Sapphire. (with system mining.)

with this settings I get:
ASUS 35.2 Mh/s @ 95 watts
Sapphire 39.3 Mh/s @ 100 watts
It have at the time of writing run stable for 2 hours.
It this runs OK over night again, it remain to put it all into a start script.
Thanks again docdrydenn for reminding how important it is to find/verify that you have a stable baseline to start from. And then not to mix a lot of variables. Stick with one thing at a time.
Fantastic PiMP community helping!
To get your Watts showing more accurately, there are some things you can adjust yourself.
By adding Watts to the fields below manually, you can get it to match the power usage AT THE WALL (if you have a meter of course). I have mine set to “compact view” to show me all the goodies. 😉
For example…
Your main MinerFarm “view” screen.
There are two baseline power fields. One on the miner and one for the rig/actual PC or system.
Miner View Baseline Power is only used for miners that do not report their power usage.
If you know you GPU is using 100w of power but your chosen miner is not reporting and thus showing 0’s or nothing, this is where you would enter 100. If you have 6 x GPU’s, and you know each is using 100w, enter 600 in here.
For example…
When you click on one of your miners (above image, 3rd line down, Production Rig 1) you’ll see something like the below. Down the bottom right is where you add this. It’s worth mentioning that the Watts displayed on this screen are the Watts used by the device/s for mining. In my case below, the Watts that the GPU’s are using.
The Host Power Baseline is for the rig's overhead power (CPU/MB/RAM/SSD/PSU/Riser Cards) (i.e. Things not reported via a miner.)
For example…
When you click on “Admin” on the left navigation tabs you will see something like the below.
Then click on the Agent you wish to amend from the above ie, I’ll stick with my Production Rig 1 on the 2nd line, and again, see below screenshot, down the bottom right you would add your base watts here for that Rig/PC/System.
Now your Watts aka power usage should be pretty right.
As always.. if anyone needs assistance.. please jump on the chat in Discord and a friendly fellow PiMP will be glad to help out.
Happy mining all. 😊

Hello pimps I am sharing some talks we had about this in discord, hope it helps someone:
pimp currently supports many usb asic andsoon monitor network asic too
ASIC:
4x GekkoScience 2Pac
1x NF1 Nanofury
1x Futurebit Moonlander 2
here is what it looks like on the rig
[/root/bbb/extras]:# pimp --add asic
Profile list filtered by "asic":
ID Name
5101 (asic) bfgminer: for usb gridseed/asics [bfg.gsd.conf]
5102 (asic) bfgminer: for usb zeus/asics [bfg.zeus.conf]
5151 (asic) bfgminer: for usb futurebit asics [bfg.futurebit.conf]
5211 (asic) cgminer-dmaxl: for usb gridseed asics [cgminer.gsd.conf]
5221 (asic) cgminer-dmaxl: for usb zeus asics [cgminer.zeus.conf]
5301 (asic) cgminer-gekko: for usb gekkoscience 2pac asics [cgminer.gekko.conf]
5321 (asic) cgminer-ckolivas: for usb nanofury SHA-256 asics [cgminer.nanofury.conf]
Usage: pimp --add [Profile ID]
those are the miners designed for asic use (cgminer and bfgminer) and the clones of them, and they build those cgminer versions specially for some hardware to get good hashrates, i think too
For the complete list of PiMP Profiles, miners and confs, and how to use them, check out this post: https://forum.getpimp.org/topic/10/setting-up-miner-profiles
Q: Any to avoid? I saw some USED on ebay. I wasn't aware of an after-market for ASICs. I went with GPU mining as I can and do sell used for
asics are usually semi profitable the sooner you get them but as more asic released for a coin then the diff goes up because everyone mines with so used asic usually for fun, learning, and if you have cheap power, a little more. mostly if you are a believer that the coins will go up then you value them even if take a slight loss due to electrics yes there are several SHA-256 algorithm coins
also great for fun & learning. For $50 you could play with one or two.
TLDR: if you look at the ones that use cgminer / bfg miner you will be in good shape
some of the team have androids and other miners that are being picked up by miner.farm - coming soon
Happy mining pimps!

@odolea said in Networking Alternatives (Wireless, Static IP, etc):
Where can I find the steps to configure wireless connectivity?
Hi odolea, thanks for your post. Wireless connection is not recommended for mining because it commonly results in a loss of hashrate/performance. It is especially difficult to validate a pimpkey using wireless.
That being said, here are instructions for customizing your network settings: https://forum.getpimp.org/topic/4811/how-to-configure-network-on-pimp-2-8-x-and-above-using-netplan
