Check sum
7df1b12d28b25e10aac37e2eafc7397b

Figured out what the problem was. I changed the /etc/init.d/cgminer file to turn on the API. I copied in one of the forum and it was missing the tail end of the original code

PARAMS="$AOPTIONS $POOL1 $POOL2 $POOL3 $_pb --api-listen --api-network --api-allow W:127.0.0.1,W:192.168.1.0/24

This is the tail end that was missing

--bitmain-checkn2diff --bitmain-hwerror --bitmain-voltage $_vl --version-file /usr/bin/compile_time --queue 4096"

So it look like voltage and error checking was gone

Fixed now working great

The firmware is the same then, are you using the API to change settings or just as read only monitoring?

Try running this command via SSH with the beta firmware.

Code:

cp /overlay/etc/config/cgminer /tmp/cgminer.tmp && cp /overlay/etc/config/network /tmp/network.tmp && rm -r /overlay/* && mkdir /overlay/etc && mkdir /overlay/etc/config && cp /tmp/cgminer.tmp /overlay/etc/config/cgminer && cp /tmp/network.tmp /overlay/etc/config/network && reboot

I am not disputing its effectivenes, but what does that accomplish? Care to explain?

Its essentially a factory reset except it preserves the network and pool settings, good to make sure you don't have any weird remnants from older firmwares.

You need to be careful using this command it reset my miner and I had to use the rest button to get the miner back up and running. Thanks

Were you on the beta Dec 19th firmware? I've tested this on about 300 miners without any issues.

I am on Dogies . I was having big problems with my miners dropping hash rate. Just waiting to see if it drops off again. I was sent the Dec 19th and it looks like Dogies is from the same date.

Check the MD5 if you want to make sure.

Code:

MD5 (antminer_S320141219.bin) = 7df1b12d28b25e10aac37e2eafc7397b

Right now I am getting some incredible numbers 430Ghs +++++ Like S3+ on nitrous oxide

no, you would run that check on the firmware file that's on your computer

What version of cgminer is on both dogie's and the 19th Dec firmware?

log in via ssh and enter:

Code:

cgminer-api

Code:

[VERSION] =>
(
[0] => VERSION

Dogie your firmware is awesome

I had to use the resets below on my miner but so far so good. low hardware errors GHS look constant so far. I have to give it 24hrs but so far so good.

Whats the consensus on the best firmware to use on these without the GHS dropping. I have 10/24 dropping GHS with 0720 set as the Voltage and S3 Standard frequency.I also have one running on the 12/19 beta and its worse.The funny thing is I own 4 x S3+ that should be able to run at 225 Freq.I dont care about a reset button at this point. Just need a known good firmware. Thanks

Try the 10/13 firmware. It has that problem with the Save & Apply, but that's about all its ills (as far as I remember it's reset button works and I have been running it OK till now!)

I have tried all of them. The 10/13 firmware is the best ....despite the error on the miner configuration page that looks the pic at this post:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9315717

This error does not seem to affect my miners. Better yet, it did not brick any of my controllers like the Oct 24th firmware did. However, I can't access the advanced tab on the miner configuration page.

My S3s average 440+ GHS and S3s average 450+ GHS. So, the Oct 13th firmware is a slight improvement of about 5-10 GHS over the August firmware.

I don't have those wild spikes and drops that I got with the Oct 24 and Nov firmware. Dogie's beta version was about the same as the late August firmware. So it's stable.

EDIT:
If you need/want to fix the error on the miner configuration page when you are using the Oct 13th firmware, a solution is posted here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9317632

I won't be doing this as i like my miner's the way they are running now and have no need to change the miner config.

What does this do exactly.Looks like it does something to the network configuration. Thanks

And I cant get into my miner now what was that hopefully that just reset my network on the miner. Thanks

That's what it does theres a couple of other commands that go with it. Ill Have to log back in when I get home. Considering I just reset the network config
