Current answer
DCENT_OS has earlier accepted-share runtime evidence on S21 hardware, but there is no public image or supported first-install route. Source support and bench evidence are not a customer installation promise.

What the status does — and does not — prove
Mining evidence answers whether DCENT_OS has produced accepted pool shares on named hardware. Install readiness answers whether a general operator can safely move from the original firmware to this build and recover. Those are independent questions.
- Mining verified means accepted shares, not merely detected chips or nonce flow.
- Guarded artifact means a signed file is downloadable but an install, boot, soak, or recovery proof is still incomplete or unpublished.
- Lab-only means the source or runtime path has evidence without a general public installation route.
- In development means there is no public artifact for operators to flash.
Known limitations
- The accepted-share evidence has not been rerun on the latest public binaries.
- The stock Amlogic AMLCtrl route remains an installation blocker.
- No S21 package, checksum, release note or supported recovery route is published.
Do not infer support from the miner name alone. Identify the exact control board, keep a known-good SD/UART recovery path, and never test experimental firmware on revenue-critical hardware.
Identify the exact control board
Use the ASIC control-board reference and physical board markings before interpreting this page. Connector shape, miner family and an ASIC generation are not sufficient identifiers. No stock photo or simulated dashboard is presented as proof for this lane.
Artifact-to-evidence receipt
| Exact public artifact | None published |
|---|
| Source commit / Git tag | Not recorded in the public website receipt for this artifact; do not infer one from the current repository head. |
|---|
| Manifest / signature | No public package or manifest. |
|---|
| Raw pool / console proof | No model-specific raw proof bundle is linked from this website page yet. |
|---|
| Independent reproduction | None published and linked. |
|---|
| Change history | Use the dated evidence ledger; no separate model changelog is claimed. |

Test this exact lane and publish success or failure. A report must identify the model, board, artifact digest, source/build state, raw logs and recovery outcome.
Performance data
No independent stock-versus-DCENT_OS benchmark dataset is asserted here. D-Central will publish hashrate, wall power, J/TH, thermals, fan RPM, reject rate and stability data only with the raw measurements, hardware identifiers, build commit, pool-side proof and test duration attached. See the benchmark and reproduction protocol.
Reviewed against the public repository and live artifact directory on 2026-08-08. Corrections: contact D-Central or open a repository issue.
