When I use RS232 I connect both RX and TX pin together (microprocessor side). In this manner I can check if chip like max232 work correcty simply receive echo on terminal program like putty.
Which is the equivalent test in this case?
Thanks

Hello word

today I'm starting to check electric signal with scope. For now the only one measured is out clock in (DC MODE) :

I note that it don't start from 0volt but from 0.4 volt.

About nf1_init it report this error: "Error in SPITransferSetting [248]

Any suggest is apprecciate

Thanks

Dear Vladimir

tanks for image!

Since today I read this:

C:\test1>nf1_init test 0000144196 ->[enter]

test mode specified for device 0.

Testing device 1 : SERIAL=0000144196, Path=[\\?\hid#vid_04d8&pid_00de#6&2d1942d
0&0&0000#{4d1e55b2-f16f-11cf-88cb-001111000030}]

If I set SPIDEBUGTXRX the communication always go on so I can check signal with scope?

Or I need logic analizer?

Thanks again

How long is nf1_init test?
What should happen for understand that device mining correctly?

If device is working fine you should start seeing results almost every second.

If you see no results it likely means that your chip isn't hashing (it could be communication issues or voltages for example).

This is how the output should look like:

H-Card to USB, testing with one chip and adding one by one to see when it refuses to go... hopefully MCP2210 will be able to scan 16 chips.
CGminer disables it after a minute or so... maybe its my busted usb on the laptop.
BFGminer works on another laptop.

Lets see what happends.

UPDATE 1:
3 chips but can anyone tell me why the 50% frequency drops ocur?

Hashing at about 7 ghz

Seems like it recognizes 1 chip only ... which makes me think that your bfgminer version is from before the multi-chip support was added.

Try the development version of bfgminer (a.k.a. "head" or "trunk") - I think Luke added the multi-chip support after 3.10 was released.
Download from luke.dashjr.org/tmp/code/webisect/webisect.php?dobuild=bfgminer

Hi,

Could you help ?
I have an H-board v1.2 and rpi and M-board 2.3.
It's working but after my sd card is crashing. I make another from V1 img.
And now it's not working....

for example when i running the chainminer program:

pi@bitfury /opt/bitfury/chainminer $ sudo ./miner
INIT: 16 chips detected
^Cpi@bitfury /opt/bitfury/chainminer $

i make a new chainminer install and make, but same answer Sad

i have no chip.conf and no best.cnf ... is it problem ?

Mboard 2.3 and newer can't use the v1 image due to the way the slots are connected and activated by chainminer

You might also tryout bfgminer

On the note of sdcard corruption. If you have a spare 8Gb+ flash drive laying around you can follow this guide
http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=44177

Shows you how to move rootfs onto a USB drive that way the only time sdcard is touched is at boot. After that it's all from usb

Thanks for your quick answer....
I think i have enough space on my 4G SD Card

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs 3.4G 2.0G 1.3G 61% /
/dev/root 3.4G 2.0G 1.3G 61% /
devtmpfs 235M 0 235M 0% /dev
tmpfs 49M 212K 49M 1% /run
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
tmpfs 98M 8.0K 98M 1% /run/shm
/dev/mmcblk0p1 56M 19M 38M 34% /boot

Can is ask a link for v2 img file ? If you can....

Yea but the flame is far away and I'd use a cookie sheet and alum foil... but i have toaster ovens as well. Just wanted to make sure before I ordered the chips. I don't have much money at all but interested in learning and testing. Maybe at some point figureout how to get a real pcb made so my project looks clean instead of a hackjob in perfboard. I'm not looking for resale... just a hobby off of the bitcoin hobby. Once you set up you miner and get it working 100% u just watch the pool and flashing lights.

Ok, building my first diyer and I don't wanna rune them. So say in a gas or electric oven for 24 hrs or what's best?

Not sure what industry uses. I'd just use what ya got. Flux will clean any oxidation when soldered

I would use an electric over or small toaster over over a gas oven. better temperature control and no open flame (i might be wrong though, is a gas oven open flame?)

industry has rules about baking them, dephending on how long they are exposed to moisture (air).
Chips get a MSL level to indicate what they can handle, no idea what level these are, if they have one.
http://www.siliconfareast.com/msl.htm

there are better tables about this, including temperature.
but for diy i would not wurry to much about it.

do you have to bake the samples or what am i reading on their site?

its best practice

The WPC will be sending out our prototype design of our BF2 Wasp next week for fabrication.

The WPC has completed the Hive (BP-1. Rev 0.) which will house a modular of up to an 8 board array of 32 chips per BF2 Wasp.

Buck regulator region on the BF2 Wasp.
