Braiins BCB100: Bitcoin Control Board Open Sourced
Braiins has open-sourced its Control Board BCB100 and the accompanying tools for users to build their own mining firmware. This control board is designed to serve as a replacement for the standard Antminer control boards.
"We’ve just open sourced the BCB100 on GitHub. The Braiins Control Board is now officially the Bitcoin Control Board. Bitcoin mining infrastructure needs more transparency and resilience. This is how we help accelerate that mission," announced Braiins.
- The resources that come with the control board include OpenWrt-based firmware with full configuration, hardware design files, Linux support for all mining peripherals, source code for TF-A, U-Boot, the Linux kernel, and OpenWrt, a Nix shell environment for reproducible builds, and the same mining binaries as those in the official BraiinsOS releases.
- The software is available under the GPLv3 open-source license, while the hardware component is available under CERN Open Hardware License (CERN-OHL-S).
- The firmware does not include the mining component, but it provides all the necessary tools for users to create their own mining firmware. Braiins OS is not part of this release.
"We’re sending a few BCB100 boards to Bitcoin Park in Nashville for builders to explore and experiment. A few units will also be available soon on the Braiins Store, shipping fast from our US and EU warehouses with no customs hassle," Braiins said in an announcement.
