DCENT_OS Evidence and Readiness Status
Current status
DCENT_OS publishes signed experimental artifacts for the exact Antminer S9 Zynq/XIL and S19j Pro Zynq/XIL lanes. Both are guarded: artifact availability, accepted-share evidence, first-install validation, recovery and production readiness are separate fields. Neither artifact is production-ready.
This is the canonical website ledger for DCENT_OS Antminer readiness. It is derived from the same model registry used by the landing page, model pages and public JSON API. A filename never promotes a miner family.
How to read the evidence states
| State | What it proves | What it does not prove |
|---|---|---|
| Artifact available | A named signed file and checksum are published for an exact miner/control-board lane. | It does not prove a generally validated first-install or recovery path. |
| Mining verified | Accepted pool shares are documented on named bench hardware. | It does not prove installation readiness or current-binary reproduction. |
| Guarded artifact | A file exists, but a required install, boot, soak or recovery proof remains incomplete or unpublished. | It is not production support. |
| Lab-only / bring-up | Source, enumeration, nonce, hashing or an earlier runtime path has evidence. | It does not create a public image or supported route. |
Guarded artifacts: evidence first, file second
Antminer S9 Zynq/XIL
A signed sysupgrade package and SD image exist, and accepted-share mining is documented. The public repository still lacks a witnessed current-artifact first-install, boot, soak and recovery capstone. Review the exact S9 evidence page and release record. S9i, S9j and other control-board labels do not inherit this artifact.
Antminer S19j Pro Zynq/XIL
A signed Zynq/XIL package exists and accepted-share mining is documented. A guarded DCENT_OS-to-DCENT_OS update path has evidence; the first installation from vendor stock firmware remains open. BeagleBone and Amlogic are separate lanes. Review the exact S19j Pro evidence page and release record.
Exact lanes with no public artifact
- Antminer S19: driver-path bring-up only; no accepted-share claim, public artifact or install route.
- Antminer S19 Pro: cold boot, chain enumeration and nonce flow; no current accepted-share proof or public artifact.
- Base Antminer S21/BM1368: earlier accepted-share runtime evidence; not rerun on latest binaries, no artifact, and stock AMLCtrl installation remains blocked.
- S17/T17 and every unnamed model/control-board combination: no public artifact is implied by source folders, shared chips or family names.
Release and build boundaries
The GPL-3.0 Rust daemon, dashboard and Buildroot integration are public. A complete Antminer image also requires documented boot-critical vendor inputs that are not redistributed in the source repository. Read the source/build boundary, verify published checksums, and distinguish source buildability from complete-image provenance.
Before any persistent write
- Match the exact miner and control-board lane.
- Read the model evidence page and named release record.
- Prove a known-good SD/UART recovery route on the actual test unit.
- Back up the current state and record hardware revisions.
- Do not test guarded firmware on revenue-critical hardware.
- Publish failures, raw logs and the exact artifact digest.
Machine-readable status
The canonical project record is available at /wp-json/dc/v1/dcent-os. It is generated from the same registry as this page and separates artifact, mining, install and production fields.
