Working fine on h2c, but getting around 250MHash on ProHashing. Nicehash goes from 200 to 250. And MRR around 240.
Are you running Batch 3? Any dropouts or restarts yet? What are you running for MV? Thanks

Not sure if batch 2 or 3. Where can i see it? Version 2.0.2 and no restarts working fine at 45-48oC in basement
If your running 2.0.2 that is batch 3 miners. So you should be good to go

They did send me update, so might be 2.0.1 at first. But they sent updsate before i even got miner

So those with one is this possible?

No, I don't think so. Inside the case there is what appears to be a modified A4 card which is wired into the Jig, so replicating that is going to be your first hurdle.
I suggest a little patience to let Inno sort out some agents in the US, UK, etc to perform the work (there's a wider A4 owner group than just this forum) and let them drive the resolution.

In my experience Inno have turned this around pretty quickly so far. It might not seem like it but multiple hardware, firmware and software versions in 6 weeks is pretty quick. That said, if anyone is desperate I'd be happy to flash cards if you can send them to me in NZ. Just PM me.

Clueless!
Inno should be covering the cost to get the miners reflashed.  That is what Chloe indicated in her email.  Hopefully Lightfoot will be hearing from Inno soon.  

It might be helpful if someone were to compile a list of locations and number of units that need to be shipped to a central point (Lightfoot?), and back and provide that to Chloe. It's probably pointless getting shipping quotes as I'd assume Inno would use thier DHL discount to keep the costs low.
Haven't heard from them since Saturday, so don't send things to me :-) . My main question to them was how do they intend to fix (hat on the mcu, swap the mcu, reprogram via jtag, reprogram using jig), number of fixes needed per board (one component or several), any traces that need to be laid/landed, and number of boards to figure out if/how/what cost I can do it.

Meantime there are always Titans to fix :-)


For your services they should send you a unit for the a test rig.

Also ask when they are gonna open source as they said. You could pass that info off to gen Tarkin  imho

Because of costs/downtime to ship the miners off... I would rather get my own jig so I can do it myself as its already going to require me to make a couple of trips to my facility to pickup the A4, take it offsite for the modifications and testing, then to return it again.

It is likely not a specific jig? What is mnfg or parts? Perhaps you all should just eat the price of one jig anyway.
It likely would be a wash in lost mining time. But you'd have a jig. Not sure might just be a wash price vs lost time
sending it to someone to get flashed.

So those with one is this possible?

I fix broken miners. And make holes in teeth :-)
Meantime what's the part number on that MCU and anyone have a gen 1 and 3 board they want to risk?

I'm hoping I can get mine sent straight to my ISP in Canada.  I'm gonna email Chloe tonight that we've got a combined 12 units at a minimum so surely we can work that out.

And finally the news you've all been waiting for. It fixes the restarts !! Here's a link to some photos of the jig and the process along with a  screenshot of two of them mining away happily on ProHashing over 8 hours after I restarted them (see the time elapsed since first share submitted).
*nod* Looks pretty simple, they don't have to swap the chips (which is a pain) which is good.

Hi lightfoot.. Any word on if you will be getting a jig? This is great news that the fix will turn the miners into a batch 3 so they will all be compatible with each other.. I will gladly pay you for your time to re-flash my 3 cubes if you get a jig.. I can remove the cards myself if it would make it more easy for you.. Thanks!

No, she was just asking for the contact info for Lightfoot as I had recommended they reach out to him as a possible contact who might be able to help.

I suggested both Lightfoot and Gentarkin and will happily help anyone who needs someone to perform the reflash down-under. My jig arrived yesterday and there's some good news. First of all the reflash process is dead simple. Once you have removed the card from the chassis, it takes less than 60 seconds to flash the card and verify it's working correctly.

The next peice of good news is that once you've done this, your B1 and B2 miners will be transformed into Batch 3 miners. The hardware is all the same according to Chloe, it's just the firmware and software that is different. To prove this, after the firmware upgrade I'm now running the Batch 3 2.0.2beta software.

Inno have kept their word and sorted this so I'm one happy+releived camper right now.  Grin
I've had 6 weeks of sleepless nights but can now relax a bit.

Just stay patient and I think Inno will make everything right for all B1 and B2 owners.

This sounds great and doesn't look too complicated, thanks for the photos.

Now how can we get these things stateside?

Can you enable notifications at prohashing when it comes below 240mh/s?   And can you send a screenshot after 48 hours of the notifications? Smiley
