Control board, install media, recovery and firmware support (Stock, BraiinsOS+, VNish, LuxOS, DCENT_OS) for every major ASIC model.
Quick answer
Which firmware can you flash on your ASIC? This matrix maps 22 miner models to their control board (Zynq, Amlogic, BeagleBone, ESP32…), install media, brick-recovery method, secure-boot state, and which firmwares are known to support them — Stock, BraiinsOS+, VNish, LuxOS, and D-Central's own DCENT_OS.
These are factual support flags, not recommendations. The same model can ship with different control boards — flashing the wrong board build can brick it, so confirm your exact variant first. DCENT_OS has guarded experimental artifacts for exact S9 XIL and S19j Pro XIL lanes; install evidence remains incomplete.

Exact S9 Zynq/XIL only. Artifact availability is not production support.
BM1396/BM1397, 7nm. Same Zynq-7010 SoC class as S9. LuxOS targets S19/S21 only. DCENT_OS does not target S17.
No S19 or S19 Pro public artifact. Neither inherits S19j Pro evidence.
BM1366 (5nm), 110 chips/11 domains. DCENT_OS Phase 1 reference chip (BM1366) but full S19 XP support is Phase 1/2 planned. Control board varies by batch.
Runtime/lab evidence only; no general NAND/sysupgrade install route.
No Amlogic artifact; stock AMLCtrl ownership remains an installation blocker. Zynq/XIL is a different lane.
VNish ships separate Amlogic and Xilinx builds; flashing the wrong board build WILL brick. DCENT_OS Phase 2 (planned).
No public artifact; stock AMLCtrl install blocked. S21 Pro/XP/+ and T21 do not inherit this evidence.
BM1370 (3nm), 13 domains/7 chips. DCENT_OS Phase 2 (no). Same BM1370 chip family DCENT references for future support.
BM1373 (designation rumored/projected). Shipping since Jan 2026, but no public teardown has confirmed the die or control-board family yet, so control board, install media and secure-boot state are left unconfirmed rather than guessed by analogy to the S21. No third-party firmware (BraiinsOS+, VNish, LuxOS) support has been verified on the S23 — treat any S23 firmware-availability claim as unverified until a teardown lands. DCENT_OS does not target the S23.
VNish ships AML/XIL/CV builds; board detection required. CVITEK is a newer Bitmain control-board SoC family. DCENT_OS does not target T21.
Scrypt (LTC/DOGE) miners using BM1485-class chips. VNish supports L7/L9; BraiinsOS+ and LuxOS are SHA-256/Antminer-S-line only.
Samsung-foundry chips, btminer (not cgminer). BraiinsOS/LuxOS do NOT support WhatsMiner. VNish supports M20-M60. H6OS adds TrustZone.
btminerAPI on 4028 (token-encrypted writes), NOT cgminer. ePIC UMC offers a replacement control board for M3x/M5x. Avalon/Antminer boards not cross-compatible.
VNish lists M60 'series' support but newest M70 coverage is generation-dependent (partial). No BraiinsOS/LuxOS for WhatsMiner.
OpenWrt + cgminer, Dropbear SSH (root/root), no signature verification. Canaan ships official customizable OpenWrt build scripts. No 3rd-party commercial firmware.
K210 is bare-metal RISC-V (no Linux, no SSH). cgminer drivers open-source; ASIC datasheets not. Zero third-party firmware ecosystem (greenfield).
K230 firmware open-sourced by Canaan (Nov 2025). orca.pet Nano-3 jailbreak patches swupdate_verify_file to accept unsigned .swu. AES/SM secure boot via eFuse.
Fully open hardware (KiCad) + ESP-Miner/AxeOS (C, ESP-IDF). Single BM1397/66/68/70. D-Central's USB-miner firmware is the separate DCENT_axe (Rust), not DCENT_OS; commercial Antminer firmwares n/a here.
ESP-Miner fork firmware; 4x (Qaxe+/++) or 8x (Octaxe) BM1368/BM1370 chain. Open hardware. Commercial Antminer firmwares n/a. DCENT_axe port is a documented future target.
GPL open-source 12x BM1362 hashboard, ~3.5 TH/s, needs an external USB control board. Driven by Mujina (Rust, 256 Foundation), not a stock onboard firmware.
Exact S19j Pro Zynq/XIL lane only; BeagleBone and Amlogic are separate evidence lanes.
The exact Antminer S9 Zynq/XIL lane runs stock, BraiinsOS+ and VNish; LuxOS does not target it. DCENT_OS publishes guarded signed sysupgrade and SD artifacts for that exact lane, with accepted-share bench evidence but an incomplete witnessed install/boot/soak/recovery capstone. S9i and S9j do not inherit this artifact.
The Zynq S19 / S19 Pro runs Bitmain stock, BraiinsOS+ (a 2–2.5% dev-fee range, effectively 0% when mining on Braiins Pool), VNish and LuxOS. DCENT_OS lists the S19 Zynq board as a planned phase — in active development, not yet a shipping image. Confirm your exact control board first; flashing the wrong board build can brick the miner.
It depends on the control board. DCENT_OS publishes a guarded signed artifact only for S19j Pro Zynq/XIL; accepted-share mining is documented, but vendor-stock first install remains unproven. BeagleBone has earlier lab/runtime evidence and Amlogic has no DCENT_OS artifact. These lanes are not interchangeable.
Commercial firmware availability varies by exact S21 model and control board; verify each vendor route. DCENT_OS records earlier accepted-share runtime evidence only for one exact base S21/BM1368 lane, not rerun on current binaries. It has no S21 artifact, and S21 Pro/XP/+ and T21 do not inherit that evidence.
WhatsMiner M2x–M6x models run MicroBT stock, and VNish supports the M20 through M60 series (newest M70 coverage is partial). BraiinsOS+ and LuxOS are Antminer / SHA-256 S-line only and do not support WhatsMiner. DCENT_OS does not target WhatsMiner.
DCENT_OS publishes guarded signed artifacts only for exact S9 XIL and S19j Pro XIL lanes. Their install evidence remains incomplete and neither is production-ready. Other exact lanes have no public artifact; bench or source evidence does not create a compatibility promise. The software is not sold by pre-order.
Not confirmed yet. The S23 ships on Bitmain stock firmware, but no public teardown has confirmed its control-board family and no third-party firmware support has been verified. Treat any S23 firmware-availability claim as unverified until a teardown lands.
Support flags are factual availability, compiled from D-Central's firmware reverse-engineering knowledge base — they are not endorsements, and D-Central credits BraiinsOS+, VNish, LuxOS and the open-source predecessors that made this ecosystem possible. DCENT_OS publishes GPL-3.0 source plus guarded experimental artifacts only for exact S9 XIL and S19j Pro XIL lanes. Other rows expose model-specific evidence, not inherited support.
