ANSWER

The 14 Antminer models where the model name is not enough

Why this list exists

Two Antminers can carry the same sticker, the same series and the same hashrate, and still need two different firmware files, because Bitmain changed the control board between batches. The model name is a marketing label. The control board is the thing the firmware actually runs on. A wrong file is not a failed install, it is a device that does not come back up on its own.

The four control board platforms

• AML, Amlogic A113D, chip next to the SD slot
• XIL, Xilinx Zynq, chip in the middle of the board
• CV, CVITEK CV1835, 2024 and newer boards
• BB, BeagleBone daughter board plugged into the base board

How to resolve the board without guessing

• Read the model from the sticker on the case, including the batch variant such as S19 (88)
• Open the lid and compare the chip marking against the four platforms above
• Give both values to the firmware finder
• Read back the build id, file name and SHA-256 before you download
• Hash the file locally and compare before it touches the device

Counts, so they can be cited exactly

• 47 Antminer models published in release 1.3.6
• 76 builds in 1.3.6, 224 across 1.3.6, 1.3.5 and 1.3.4 together
• 14 models resolve to more than one control board
• 4 models resolve to all four boards: S19 (88), S19j+, S19j Pro, S19j Pro+
• 43 of 76 builds, that is 56.6%, sit behind an ambiguous model name
• SHA-256 published for 224 of 224 builds, covering 3.87 GB
