Here is my update on 1.0.3 30 minutes later still hashing with out any software resets normally my miner resets software on 1.0.2 after 20-25 minutes, I also noticed a 5 MH/s increase per blade, and also a 1-2 degree increase on temp but that could contribute to increased Atmospheric pressure from last week
November 15, 2016, 08:22:07 PM
nice to see 1.0.3 but when i try to start the miner i get Error getting device list: ERR: socket connect(0) failed but status is running?? v 1.0.2 and v 1.0.0 works?
NVM must have gotten a bad download or something re downloaded and re installed image and working fingers crossed!!

I just received new firmware from Dominique @ Innosillicon. V1.0.3
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fuyz1r7cy4pkeir/G5-20-V1.0.3.rar?dl=0
I am testing now.
To be honest I have had no troubles with version 1.0.0(T) as long as the machines run in a cold environment.
If anyone is interested I have had them on MRR for the past couple days so you can see my hash rate here: http://rig.rent/rigs/34677

Update: 2hrs hashing with new firmware on half my units. No dropped cards or cgminer restarts

Brave miner! Renting it out when stability hasn't settled certainly takes confidence. I saw that as soon as it was rented it crashed immediately.
Appreciate you sharing this as it's the first visual evidence I've seen of extended stability. With the dropping price and increasing stability this machine is becoming interesting for purchase.

Update #2: After 4hrs the cgminer in the newest firmware stops/restarts automatically. All hash boards were running after restart. Hash rate seems to be a little better with this version. Will run and see how it does over the next 24 hrs.
My units are batch 2. Not sure if the latest firmware will work on batch 1 or not.
Now a little over 12 hrs later with V1.0.3 on 2 of my controllers and no dropped cards. One of them currently has a run time of 5h26m so I know they are still stopping/starting but my original thought of once every 4 hrs seems to be wrong. Hash rate with the new firmware is about the same. I will continue to test for another 12 hrs before changing my other controllers/units to the newest firmware.

Thanks for this information.
I'm interested to hear what you report after 72 and 96 hours.
November 15, 2016, 04:18:01 PM
This is still disturbing that we are seeing so many restarts with the latest release. I am glad you are not seeing dropped cards. How many units do you have running this newest release?

I believe its batch 2 because batch 1 miners have a software version that starts with 0.0.1, 0.0.2, etc

So any indications to how many of these will actually be produced? Scrypt was good for the past few years because there was always a shortage of ASICs and difficulty was never much of an issue.

Im dropping in the v1.0.3 into my miner with the dropping blades to see if that helps.
One difference I see is that its pre configured to run at 820mv instead of 815.
Has anyone tried any of the "Low Power" modes to see if they are more stable?
So-far, no luck with the v1.0.3, same 2 blades keep dropping within minutes of starting.

When I received mine, it was configured at 800mhz and I ran it for about 24 hours with 800mv
The highest I went with 800mv was 1000mhz, it wasn't until I switched to 1200mhz did I start having board drop issues.

What pool are you guys using on your a4?
Nicehash. However, I have boards dropping like flies. Still remotely commanding the PDU to power cycle the rigs when boarsd drop.I have 1 unit dropped board 3 times in 1 hour.

Thanks for this and this update, I moved mine to a very cool room and noticed similar results, I think I'm on day 3 now without a card drop but I have seen restarts on 1.0.0T.
I'm downloading this update but I'm definitely going to wait and see yours and others results before I mess with it as I jumped on 1.0.2 when it came out and that was a mistake.
Fortunately I purchased a 2nd SD card so its easy for me to switch between versions, unfortunately I have to take a trip in the car to change it out now.

I didn't even get the email announcing the sale. So maybe they already removed me from their mailing list! LOL
If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all. Looks like my PSU on the second miner has already bit the dust. The PSU keeps shutting down, and now won't start. So I just ordered a replacement and will see if I can get Corsair to honor their 10 year warranty... I am not holding my breath at this point.
If Inno would let us buy these for BTC at this sale price right now I am willing to bet they would sell some units right now. Even with the problems which I think Inno will get sorted out and the community when they can get their hands on the open source software will probably do some pretty cool things with the A4's. But the wire transfer thing is costly, and time consuming. That is really a huge negative. So Inno if you are listening let us order these for BTC at the sale price right now and you will sell some units. I might even go out on a limb and order another A4 right now if you were to extend that offer to BTC. Please consider this as an option and provide us your BTC address.

The 45 day warranty would be a concern for me if I was first batch right now. From my understanding 1st batch units have different firmware than 2nd batch units? If I got this
right..they could just walk from support after 45 days on such first batch stuff. (Not like it looks they are not bothering with support anyway ...just saying)
All very strange.....
Only makes sense if this is like Sfards and a side angle for a bit..with the bulk already gone or going to some or all of the big data hall IPO investors.....a wave the flag on this for a month
make the company look good..use the rest of the masked chips....and poof.....
then meh....move on to other things with your nice 14nm production line.....lots better chips to make with that infrastructure in place now bought by the IPO $$$ then ASIC miners.
From the sidelines this just looks real weird to me. No clue.
I have a batch 2 and v1.0.0 worked on my a4
