Flashing Factory Image

You can flash factory images to your Bitaxe using generic ESP32 flashing tools such as the esptool-js website

  • Power up your bitaxe via the barrel connector
  • attach your bitaxe USB to your computer
  • open of the esptool-js website in Chrome
  • Under the Program heading set the baudrate to 921600 (this should be the default)
  • click Connect
  • Chrome will popup a window asking you which serial port you weant to connect to.
    • on Mac and Linux the correct serial port will have something similar to usbmodem1434401 in the name
    • on PC it will prolly be one of those COM ports. Good luck.
  • Select the proper serial port and then click connect
  • Once the ESP Tool has connected to your Bitaxe over serial, Set the Flash Address to 0x0
  • Under File click "Choose File" and select the factory image you want to flash. it's called something like esp-miner-factory-400-v2.1.5d.bin Be sure to use the image with the same version number as your Bitaxe (400 in this case)
  • Down below click the "Program" button
  • Wait paitiently.
  • Keep waiting until the console on ESP Tool says "Leaving..."
  • If you are sure you have seen ESP Tool say "Leaving..." then you're bitaxe might restart.
  • If you bitaxe hasn't restarted, you can press the RESET button on the bitaxe
  • The self test should run. this can take a second. You'll need to press the RESET button on the bitaxe once the self test has passed.
