Proto-MDK FAQ
This FAQ is a guide to understanding the behavior of your Proto-MDK (Mining Development Kit).
Please note, the Proto-MDK is in Beta. Beta participants will be notified of future firmware releases. For support, contact mining.support@block.xyz
Mining
What mining pools does the Proto-MDK support?
The Proto-MDK supports all BTC mining pools utilizing the Stratum V1 protocol.
Dashboard
Why isn't the UI displaying error messaging?
The Proto-MDK Beta early firmware release will not include error messaging. The Proto team will notify Beta participants of future firmware releases that will introduce this functionality.
How do I download logs?
To downloard logs from your dashboard, navigate to the upper right corner of your screen, and click the >_ icon. Next, click the Export button in the upper right of your screen.
Hashboard
My logs show hashboard overvoltage. What should I do?
Overvoltage is defined as the upper threshold of the intended operating range. In the event of extended hashboard overvoltage, the Embedded Controller (EC) will bypass the control board and send a command to shut down the affected hashrail(s). The EC will then send an asynchronous message async_hw_limit_exception_event (board_over_voltage) to logs. If you experience a hashboard faillure due to overvoltage, download the logs and email them to support at mining.support@block.xyz
My logs show hashboard undervoltage. What should I do?
Undervotage is defined as the bottom of the intended operating range. In the event of extended hashboard undervoltage, the Embedded Controller (EC) will bypass the control board and send a command to shut down the affected hashrail. The EC will then send an asynchronous message async_hw_limit_exception_event (board_under_voltage) to logs. If you experience a hashboard faillure due to undervoltage, download the logs and email them to support at mining.support@block.xyz
My logs show hashboard overcurrent. What should I do?
Over current is defined as the upper threshold of the intended operating range. In the event of extended hashboard overcurrent, the Embedded Controller (EC) will bypass the control board and send a command to shut down the affected hashrail(s). The EC will then send an asynchronous message async_hw_limit_exception_event (board_over_current) to logs. If you experience a hashboard faillure due to overcurrent, download the logs and email them to support at mining.support@block.xyz
My logs show hashboard overtemperature. What should I do?
Overtemperatue is defined as the upper threshold of the intended operating range. In the event of extended hashboard overtemperature, the Embedded Controller (EC) will bypass the control board and send a command to shut down the affected hashrail(s). The EC will then send an asynchronous message async_hw_limit_exception_event (board_temp) to logs. If you experience a hashboard faillure due to overtemperature, download the logs and email them to support at mining.support@block.xyz
