NAND INSTALLATION: Download the NAND image and the Hashcore Toolkit utility (extract the archive and read the installation guide).
SD INSTALLATION: Download the SD image, extract it, and read the installation guide (To install the firmware, use an SD card no larger than 16 GB, FAT32). Insert the SD card with the Vnish image and power on the miner — if you remove the SD card, the BITMAIN firmware will be restored. If you need to update the version of the Vnish firmware already installed on the SD card or in NAND, download the WEB version of the Vnish firmware and upload it using the UPGRADE function.
VNISH FIRMWARE UPDATE: Download the Vnish Online Updater (VOU) to quickly update your firmware to the latest version without downloading any additional files.

Vnish firmware for Bitmain
( - ,)
After rebooting a miner with a CVitek control board running Vnish firmware, the stock firmware will return. To prevent this, the Hashcore Toolkit must be running and connected to the miner network, so that Vnish remains active after a reboot or power-off.
Standard types of control boards: Xilinx ( SD slot outside ) , beagle bone BB version ( SD slot is located inside on the control board) , Amlogic ( only micro usb slot is located outside ), CVitek ( SD slot outside ), check the file types of control boards
Download Stock Firmware for Bitmain Antminer
On our website, you can easily download stock firmware for Bitmain Antminer, including rare SD images that were previously removed from the official Bitmain website. We understand how important it is to have access to original firmware for the reliable and stable operation of your equipment. That’s why we have compiled and made available a complete catalog of stock firmware for you.
With these firmware files, you can restore the functionality of your device, whether you’re facing issues after updates or want to return your Antminer to its factory settings. Our SD images will help you easily and quickly restore your ASIC to its original state, ensuring smooth operation and maximum performance. Don’t miss the opportunity to use original stock firmware for Antminer and protect your equipment from malfunctions and unforeseen issues.
Select your model and download stock firmware for Antminer models, including SD recovery images to restore the original Bitmain factory firmware.
Instructions for installing stock firmware using recovery SD images (amlogic, xilinx, beagle bone, cvitek control boards):
- Use a USB flash drive or SD card up to 32 GB, formatted in FAT32. For AMLOGIC control boards, it is recommended to use an OTG-USB adapter instead of an OTG-SD adapter.
- Download the recovery SD image for your miner model and control board type, then copy the files from the archive to the root of the USB flash drive or SD card.
- Connect the SD card or OTG adapter to the powered-off miner.
- Turn on the miner and wait until the green LED on the front panel lights up and stays on. This means the firmware installation has been completed successfully. The process takes no more than one minute.
- Turn off the miner and remove the SD card or OTG adapter with the flash drive from the control board.
- Turn the miner back on and wait for it to boot — the firmware should now be updated.
Main Advantages After Installing Vnish Firmware
Up to 20% Hashrate Increase
Vnish delivers up to a 20% hashrate boost thanks to its intelligent auto-tuning system.
The firmware interacts with each individual element of the hash board,
analyzes chip characteristics, and selects optimal voltage and frequency settings.
This personalized approach increases performance without compromising stability.
Ready-made overclocking profiles are also available and can be selected depending on current needs.
When maximum computing power is required, simply activate the appropriate mode —
and the miner will switch to a high-performance hashrate mode.
This is especially beneficial during periods of rising BTC prices,
when every additional terahash directly impacts profitability.
Chip Auto-Tuning
Even within a single hash board, chips may differ in performance characteristics:
some operate stably at higher frequencies, while others perform best at medium levels.
Stock firmware applies identical parameters to all chips,
reducing overall efficiency.
Vnish analyzes each chip individually and assigns optimal parameters.
This allows you to:
- Increase total hashrate;
- Reduce power consumption;
- Prevent overheating of individual modules.
The auto-tuning system runs in the background and continuously adjusts parameters
to maintain maximum performance.
Security System
The firmware includes multi-level protection mechanisms that ensure stable miner operation
under various conditions.
If temperatures exceed safe limits, the device automatically shuts down,
preventing overheating and potential damage to chips or power supply units.
Protection against incorrect voltage is also implemented:
if values exceed safe thresholds, the system blocks operation
and notifies the user of the issue.
This allows safe testing of overclocking profiles —
all critical scenarios are monitored and controlled by the firmware.
Temperature Management
Overheating is one of the primary causes of ASIC hardware failure.
High temperatures accelerate chip degradation
and negatively affect power boards and cooling fans.
Vnish provides flexible cooling control:
you can adjust fan speeds and set temperature thresholds.
This helps achieve an optimal balance between cooling efficiency,
noise level, and energy consumption.
In colder regions, fans can be set to minimum speed
to reduce electricity usage,
while in hot climates the system automatically increases cooling intensity.
As a result, equipment operates more reliably and has a longer lifespan.
Energy Optimization After Installing Vnish Firmware
A key efficiency metric in mining is the ratio of power consumption
to performance (W/TH).
Even a slight reduction in this value
can lead to significant savings at scale.
Vnish enables voltage regulation, load balancing,
and optimization of W/TH performance.
In regions with high electricity tariffs,
this becomes especially important.
For example, if a standard mode delivers 30 W/TH
and an optimized mode delivers 25 W/TH,
the annual cost difference can reach tens of thousands of dollars
even for a single mining farm.
Error Reduction After Installing Vnish Firmware
ASIC devices are complex systems
where every component affects operational stability.
Failures may occur due to voltage spikes,
overheating, improper cable connections,
or contamination within the cooling system.
The firmware enables early problem detection.
If one of the chips begins to operate unstably,
the system automatically lowers its frequency,
preventing the entire board from shutting down.
The built-in logging system provides full access
to information about events and errors,
allowing users to quickly determine
whether technical intervention is required
or if a software adjustment is sufficient.
This significantly reduces the risk of damage to expensive components.
