Does that version have a Factory Reset button in the settings tab? If that does not work have you build a recovery SD yet? I made one the other day in case of emergency but have not had the need to try it yet. The instructions can be found here http://www.spondoolies-tech.com/blogs/technical-blog/tagged/important-updates

Yes it does.  Thanks I've tried the FR and that didn't change the FW.  I found the tech blog and how to create a recovery sd.  Except after doing it, noticed it was a micro SD slot. Sad  Had to head home, so was hoping I could just load a correct firmware version from file since I can do that remotely.  Haven't been able to locate their firmware files on their website or github yet.

Anybody know where to download SP20 firmware?  It shows in the gui that you can update from file.  After going down to 2.5.12 and now my machine thinks its a Dawson, I would like to reload the correct firmware.  You don't get those options after installing the 2.5.12.

TIA.

Check spondoolies support blog. This came up many pages back in the thread.http://www.spondoolies-tech.com/blogs/technical-blog

No problem just after updating sometimes my units require a hard power cycle. I am a distance away from my miners so I just won't do it remotely from now on.

I had the same issue with one of my 5 SP20s. I ended up having to drive 40 miles to the colo and power cycle it last night. I think it might have an issue as it will not hash over about 1570Ghs and it took a couple of power cycles to get it to come back up (the yellow light kept flashing on the front). Should I have support look at the logs on it?

The one I got from the first batch thinking I would be cool won't go past 1512, 1535 if I push the voltage. I have direct cooling into the racks at 22c the units says 24 to 25c intake. The other SP20'S push 1600 plus in the same rack. Everything checks out ok on the lemon. It may have been banged up from shipping or just slower Asics compared to what's shipping now. Sucks as it cost a **** load.  And this one needed a hard power cycle a few times when I dabbled with pool settings.

40 miles sucks. At least gas is cheaper these days.  I'm about 30 mins no traffic.

For the led check if you have the led flash option in the gui.   

Have you thought about using a Raspberry pi or Arduino to remote control your power supplies? I don't have the same issue as you but have read where others remote control their power supplies. I have a friend who controlled his power supply for his Technobit units last year with an Arduino. Just a thought.

I can turn the power  off supplied to each rack via ems but not on as a safety precaution.  The unit may be down for cause I can't see remotely.  Safety bet is I just won't meddle unless I'm in the building.

I've always used the manual option ... updated x6 SP20s yesterday to 2.5.61 (which was the latest available at the time) ... all running rock solid.

I don't have .61 or .59.  My list:

2.5.12
2.5.31 - TEST VERSION
2.5.33
2.5.43 - TEST VERSION
2.5.49-bad - TEST VERSION
2.5.64-stabler

Doesn't give me a lot of good choices to choose from.

I ended up with .59 on one of my SP20s.  I'm happy with its performance.  My other one doesn't have .59 available in the list.  How do I get it?

Thanks.

M

Just go into the gui Firmware tab and do automatic.

I'm not showing an automatic option in either.  The manual selection is showing "2.5.64-stabler" as the newest.

Difficulty has increased every month for the last 18 months at least.

Except the 2 changes before this one where it decreased...

M



The inter-month diff  decreased but for the month is up again.

But true 2 out of last 44 jumps decreased, which is 95% up history for diff

Is the OS/FW available to DL already?  If so throw an SD card in and run from that for temp before you leave LOL!

I'm waiting on DHL to show their happy asses up with 2 more I want to get online before I go out myself as well!

Yep looks like what I need to do.  I just noticed that when I did the manual fw update in the gui, it installed the SP10 Dawson.  THAT is probably the problem!!!

May have to open up the box and check cables?  Have you had it apart or moved it before it went down?

Of course.  I have to complicate it.  My guess is that I FUBARred the image and need to download and replace.  I was just hoping for a quicker fix.  I have had it running for a couple hours @ 200.  I moved it upstairs and plugged back in.  Went to the setting page and changed the 200 to 288.  After that restart, no cgminer.

Anybody know how to fix SP20 that won't start cgminer.  No Adapter in the Log.  Tried factory reset and down to 2.5.12 FW.  Now I can't even select latest firmware to reinstall. Sad

well diff finally going back up 8% next week still beter than the 15% of the summer

Difficulty just changed.  I don't know how anyone can predict with any degree of reliability what it'll be in approx 12 days.

M

Not in 12 days but,

Difficulty has increased every month for the last 18 months at least.

Based on this it looks like at least a 95% chance that by January 2015 the Diff will be higher than the  40.3B from beginning of Dec  2014.

That's exactly why I haven't bitten any recent bait. A few low or negative jumps and people forget about the monster named Difficulty.
