I am used to Linux operating systems and flashing images. What do you mean by a software engineer. Is there a way to get the s9i os. @Adam could I potentially install it myself?

Sorry for being busy, Yes you can install it by yourself it's not that hard, but you need to clone it first into an image then u can install it.

The firmwares are freely available to download from Bitmain, or are you referring to some other part of the OS that isn't normally accessible?

@KenSharp The S9i firmware hadn't yet been published to Bitmain's site in May.
