Antminer T17 DCENT_OS Firmware: Exact Release Status

beta20261002: Antminer T17 / am2-t17

0.9.0 Experimental; development-key distribution; physical qualification pending. Only a separately authorized exact-board lab trial may prepare this raw image and verify readback. Keep the card inserted during use. Follow supplied controller-specific boot selection, preserve the original state and complete shutdown before removal. This package authorizes no NAND write.

After completed Stop/shutdown, power off, remove SD and restore recorded original boot selection to return to internal firmware. Preserve failed-boot card and diagnostics. Do not assume this trial is qualified recovery media.

Each exact variant keeps its own route

Verify the complete model and confirmed controller. A sibling image, model family or SD slot does not authorize installation. Read the exact card; inspection-only rows forbid media preparation/install/update. Physical qualification and automatic recovery are not established.

Antminer T17 / Zynq/Xilinx / am2-t17 — Exact-board SD trial for authorized lab use; card stays inserted; no NAND writes
Antminer T17Plus / Zynq/Xilinx / am2-t17plus — Exact-board SD trial for authorized lab use; card stays inserted; no NAND writes
Antminer T17e / Xilinx; exact BM1396 native-SD media contract / am2-t17e — Exact-board SD trial for authorized lab use; card stays inserted; no NAND writes

Historical July registry evidence and limitations

Antminer T17 · Released / Experimental

No verified public image for this exact model

Antminer T17 is Released on the Experimental channel. The current source lane is management-only, with no verified prebuilt binary or authorized installation route.

Risk: Experimental firmware can brick this miner, cause mining downtime, and may affect warranty coverage. Do not continue until the exact board and recovery path are confirmed.

View release status Inspect the source

Exact board: Zynq/Xilinx am2-t17 with a PIC16 control path
Verified file: No verified prebuilt
Install: Denied
Recovery: Not Implemented

The shortest responsible path

Identify: confirm the exact model and physical control-board lane.
Choose: use only the route authorized for that lane; no route means no flashing.
Recover: verify the stop condition and restoration path before any write.

Files and current evidence

No verified prebuilt file is listed for this exact model in registry 2026-09-01.5. Do not substitute another model’s file.

Mining, installation, and recovery boundaries

Mining: The source row is management-only and does not establish a current accepted-share mining path on a live T17.
Installation: The am2-t17 install row has no implemented update or external-media route and denies installation.
Recovery: No model-specific persistent write or recovery procedure is authorized.

Proof, gap, and limitations

Proof: Exact am2-t17/BM1397 source identity and management-template evidence.

Open gap: Live-unit mining, package, install, soak and recovery evidence on the exact PIC16 lane.

T17, T17+ and S17-family board targets are not interchangeable.
A source artifact producer is not a verified public download.
No public persistent-write route is authorized.
