            Programming (Required for DIY Kit)

            1. Download open source code firmware from GitHub respository here by clicking the green Code button and selecting download zip
            2. Uncompress the zip file into the four firmware bin files:
              1. 0xe000_boot_app0.bin
              2. 0x0000_bootloader.bin
              3. 0x8000_partitions.bin
              4. 0x10000_firmware.bin
            3. Go to ESP Tool website online, a serial flasher utility for Espressif chips like the ESP32 (works with Chrome and Chromium based browsers like Brave)
            4. Connect computer to the NerdMiner via standard USB-C cable (not included)
            5. Set the baudrate to 115200 and click connect
            6. Select the "USB JTAG/serial debug unit" and click connect
            7. Enter the flash address from the beginning of the filenames and select the corresponding file, e.g.
              1. 0xe000 - 0xe000_boot_app0.bin
              2. 0x0000 - 0x0000_bootloader.bin
              3. 0x8000 - 0x8000_partitions.bin
              4. 0x10000 - 0x10000_firmware.bin
            8. Click Program (shouldn't take more than 20 seconds or so)

              Configuration

              • Scan QR code displayed on screen using any computer or mobile device (mobile device is easier)
              • Connect to the "NerdMinerAP" wi-fi (it acts as a wi-fi access point during setup)
              • Login with password "MineYourCoins"
              • Add your home's 2.4GHz wi-fi network SSID and wi-fi password
              • Add your BTC wallet address (this is where your 6.25 bitcoin would be deposited, minus any mining pool fees)
              • The pool is preconfigured with the popular CK Pool; however, you're free to use any other mining pool that supports ultra-low difficulty CPU miners (Kano Pool does not support CPU or GPU mining - ASIC only), e.g.
                • FYI: The NerdMiner development community is working on providing their own pool in the future
                • NOTE: While Kano Pool is recommended for the GekkoScience miners, they do not support CPU or GPU mining (ASIC mining only) - even though it will technically work, they will eventually discover your CPU miner and bump you off)
