This is the shipping version of it. Give this a try. https://mega.co.nz/#!68NHGIhC!RNKS1h25YdmrCeQnLC7RAlYiJaGG8QGwFrdVF2uRbRQ
Remember AMT never even reached out to try to support this. More than likely they will lay the blame of this on you somehow. Or on me even. Josh has a habit of doing that.
Topic: AMT 1.2THs miner first impressions/review (WIP) (Read 6786 times)
the fail seems to be a problem with it. it says it's broken when trying to extart it. is there anywhere else to download it from. Thank you
reserved webgui, howto
Quick Notes/Issues (WIP) Will be edited with a more formal howto
If you did not flash the image provided by AMT, please note the IP is unique PER MINER and statically set. I had to pull it from the /etc/network/interfaces file on the SDCard using another linux machine.
How to get it without hooking up the HDMI or needing a linux machine:
Pull your SDCard from the unit (requires opening it) And look at the number written in marker onto the SDCard. 192.168.1.X (X is the number on the SDCard) That is your IP. Monumentally poor judgement on that decision. I will provide those who PM me with a modified image correcting any weird issues I encounter like the IP and have it set to a default IP or you can use this method to get up and running. While I believe in the OSS model I feel that AMT will profit from my work and not give due credit or compensation for it. Hence my need to approach it this way.
Other notes the miner uses Rasberrian. Apt-get and other tools for customzation are in there so it is more friendly to configuration (within limits) than most of the other miner tools out there. Depending on your skill level I would caution against modifying it. But if you are comfortable with linux customization I say go for it. Even upgrading to the latest cgminer if it uses an unmodified A1 driver.
FYI According to AMT this is the login for the machine SSH and web interface
*Note this is AMT's info. It should work. If not please report here I can provide alternate workarounds if it does not*

Since AMT has chosen to take down or delete the dropbox link I am rehosting it here. http://[Suspicious link removed]/q5rl56g This is the amt_a1_0820v01 a.img.bz2 file they posted.
Here is a FULL backup of the stock image. The ONLY modification on it is the IP address which is 192.168.0.245. As AMT has ceased to support any of their stuff, it seems appropriate to post it here.
Please note this is a torrent link. Use the torrent client of your choice do download it.

FINAL THOUGHTS
This miner is not as efficient as it could be. Considering the size, and power consumption on the miner 1300, not to mention the various other issues that customers have had with just getting them, I cannot recommend this as an option to purchase. For comparison on price AMT charges 1200-1350 for these devices (again a problem as its a variable price) for what basically is 1Ths @ 1200 watts. Compared to the same amount you could spend on 4 Bitmain Antminer S3s get 1.8Ths @ 1475W for the same price. The choice here is clear. Despite my other issues with the company, the device is well built. BUT they really need to work on power consumption.

I would recommend selling it and replacing it with a bitmain S5 and S3.. for the cost of the hardware parts in there you could sell it for an s5 and an s3 and come out with 1.4-1.5 which is better than this unstable garbage they shipped us. That said there are links for the image. If those are down, someone can post a new mirror up.
I posted mega.co links that should still work. Check OP or second post. If those are down I will have to look for the image files as they are archived in cold storage for the time being until they are required. In obvious retaliation against the community AMT decided to pass the buck of support off to its customer/investors. There is a post for that in one of the various other AMT threads.

Hi. where can I get the img file firmware for amt 1.25 ths system. My amt web site no longer showing me the home or setup link. Thanks
PART 2:
Reserved for power consumption, hashing stats
Initial Hashing stats. I will post a more sustained average from the miner later on this is just to start.
What the pool reports after about 10 minutes. This is on BTCguild. I will move the miner over to elgius for more accurate stats.
While there is a 12 hour average here. This is pretty much what it looks like all the time. I think the 1.27Ths number is fixed and always in there. No matter what I do that number will not change. The pool reports
This is about the norm. Usually a but lower at around 950 most of the time. The performance is not consistent and this is actually the best it can do. Looks like other people who reported a 10 percent rejection rate. CGMINER stats coming soon.

Wondering where can I get the AMT 1.25TH firmware img file. Thank you
Which miner do you have? I get the impression they are a bit different. I got a rackmount one with 5 cards. Yours SHOULD be the same minus the rack mount case.
I got a desktop one which looks almost the same as yours, except for the casing of course, and the Pi. So are you using the amt_a1_0820v01.img image?
EDIT: Looking at your UI screenshots you're almost certainly not using amt_a1_0820v01.img The one you posted looks like the one my unit came with, except yours shows the temp and mine doesn't.
The UI on the amt_a1_0820v01 image is a slightly nicer:
https://i.imgur.com/vIZB3Gi.png
What firmware version are you using? I tried amt_a1_0820v01.img that AMT posted but it was giving me errors about using the --rock-freq flag in cgminer.

Updated with video links and hashing links. 12 hour hashing performance is pretty much the same with more consumption than an S2. I have been running the miner for days and the 12 hour did not really make a difference. I would recommend other options for rack mounts. At the size that this comes in 2Ths should be the bare minimum for this form factor to look at.
Updated POST 3 with download links for the AMT update AND the original stock image that ships with the system. Only modification is the IP address 192.168.0.245, since AMT could not be bothered to do the basics in customer support, it falls to the community (in this case me) to actually do AMT Josh Zipkin's job for him.
Posting up a full image of the original image provided with the AMT miner. This one has been modified to use a default IP address of 192.168.0.245. This is the ONLY change on the image. As AMT (Josh Zipkin) has passed the buck to the community for supporting their poorly deployed software rollout and decided to refuse responsibility for support, and also clearly can afford to take vacations with the money we gave them.
I'm going to try to get my machine up and running when I get home from school. This has been a nightmare. Never have I had so little support from a company. And they provided an image incorrectly like 3 times when they were trying to distribute it.
I wish there was just an image provided where someone had already set it to DHCP to obtain a lease. Right now apparently my mode/router doesn't like playing with the the provided images and Static IP addresses. I need to install ubuntu to a usb stick when I get home. I used wubi but it doesn't like to give me primary user access so it's not letting me get in to edit the image.

aspirin, can you please post the new image on mega.co.nz? Looks like Josh and his "excellent" support decided it would be a good idea to further screw his customers by deleting the image from its download location. I imagine he will be reposting it again before long after this post just to avoid looking bad.
NVM I got it. I will repost it as AMT has passed the buck off to me to support hardware anyway. Link up in a few their dropbox links are gone/deleted. I am posting two kinds of images. The rackmount image of which I took screenshots of. And what appears to be a newer image. I am will take some pics of the power consumption of the miner. Seems to be floating at 1100-1200 most of the time I have had it plugged into the killawatt for a couple days now (yea I know not good).

What firmware version are you using? I tried amt_a1_0820v01.img that AMT posted but it was giving me errors about using the --rock-freq flag in cgminer.

I am using the original image that came with it. Modified some settings. I dont think they really did much outside of cosmetic changes. It works pretty much the same but I will check that image out just the same.

Updated second post with hash stats. Preliminary. More to come on that. But so far it works as advertised. I had similar results as I kept powering up and down. But solved my fan issues for the moment so I will post more sustained stats.
How's the power usage? Every other manufacturer is offering A1 systems running under .8 J/GH. How did the AMT system turn out?
Im still gathering data on this. I haven't been able to run it consistently for any period of time on account of the louder than a vaccum fans. And I doubt I am getting support from AMT on this now. But it does appear to perform as advertised. I just cant get a consistent 48 hour test that I would like. I am waiting for some fan splitter adapters to arrive so I can put in my own quieter fans.
I got no way to easily muffle those jet engine fans right now. Once I get that noise situation sorted I will get it set up and provide reliable test data. This might have wait until I move into my datacenter space in the next couple of weeks if I cant get it done this week.

its amazing too!! josh zipkin thinks he is doing the bitcoin world, and us, a favor by staying in business. ii will say this again... joshua zipkin of AMT miners wouldnt know the truth if it fucked him in the ass. he is a pathological liar.
Would have been better if you owned it, instead of lying about this, you already know how pissed I already was about this situation which I kept private, but since you decided to lie here I will address it with proof. It is really obvious the guy rejected it he wrote it on the damn box. You simply got lucky and rerouted the package to me since it was close by. The internet is a wonderful tool for information as I also have the tracking numbers which now everyone does to and can validate what I just said if they look at it on the box. This is a photo of the writing on the box by DHL apparently...the very first photo I took as I got them off the truck. Pretty easy to match up with the first photo if you flip it 180. And for further proof he was not in the next zip code over. He was in the next county over which is 40 minutes away. I have a DHL hub less than 20 minutes from my house. So please stop. I have been patient but you have been lying to everyone from day one and you dig a deeper hole each time with each lie. I had hoped to avoid this drama but you really painted the target on this one knowing how much of a sore matter it was for me. I tried working with you but at the same time you have been dishonest with everyone. I have been trying to give an objective review on your hardware as all said it seems very well built, but the problem is you cannot stop lying to people. And that is why things are playing out. Until you make ALL of this right with all of us, you will always have this following you in every endeavor. I have said it repeatedly in private and I am saying it now in public.
Ya so that be the nail in the coffin right.
At this point I can see helping other people who were burned by AMT with this thread to help them recoup whatever they can but NEVER EVER BUY FROM AMT or anything remotely associated with this abortion of a "company" and their criminal executives.
Ok so I've did some power supply switching and I"m going to get this up and running. Thanks for the heads up about the number being taped there should save me some hassle.
