If you are running a BitAxe or want to run one, this guide is pretty darn comprehensive.

AxeOS is the operating system that runs on the ESP32-S3 microcontroller inside every Bitaxe Bitcoin miner. It controls the mining ASIC chip, connects to your Wi-Fi network, communicates with your chosen mining pool, monitors temperature and power, and serves a web-based dashboard you can access from any browser on your local network.
