Damn you are running some old FW about 11 versions ago, have you tried running the most recent version?

https://downloads.canaan.io/downloads/software/avalon1041/app/

You'll need fms to load the firmware to your miners, it's a few directories above in the /software/ section.

Hey guys,

Anyone else have problem with the power supplies for the a1047? I have 3 dead so far out of 21. Its not looking good for reliability.

Temp is 30C ambient.

Yes those screen shots look pretty horrid with the miners restarting every few minutes. One thing that can cause it is low line voltage as the 1047 PSU does not like a low line when trying to run at full speed.

Do they work better in "Normal" mode vs High Performance? Normal mode should put them around 30-31THs.
What in your AC line at? It must never go below 205VAC and preferred range is 220-240VAC,

Considering globalstar's links point to them being in Iran I have to assume that they bought through a reseller and not one of Canaan's authorized distributors because Canaan has none that service Iran. The only authorized distributor that *might* ship to Iran would be Cryptouniverse who are located in Russia.

If that is the case then it is the reseller they bought the miners from that they should name here and go after to get the miners fixed. Canaan cannot control what unauthorized and/or unscrupulous resellers do. All Avalons I have ever gotten (through Blokforge in USA) arrived in pristine condition.

I've been mining since 2014 and quit running Antminers in late 2016 because of reliability issues: the s1 through s7 were great but starting with the s9's I averaged 20% failures (dying hash boards) after just 1 year. After that I began running over 2 dozen Avalons ranging from the 7xx series to the current 10xx series and have never had even 1 major failure with them. Lost a couple fans after they have been running for about 2 years but that is the only problem I have had with them.

Who did you buy them through? Wouldn't have been direct from Canaan, I believe they are still MOQ 60. Is this from an official distributor or a re-seller? The gear that is hitting 35/36 TH are still falling within a 5% range which is how all gear is sold to be +/- 5%.
Canaan wouldn't have a database of you as a customer if you bought from someone else so it makes sense they need you to identify a few things. For the most part their gear has been the most reliable for years, and their support is usually top notch. So while it may be frustrating to have gear not working as expected, if it's their responsibility they'll work with you to make it right. You just might have to ship things back to China for repair, which is in the terms and service for RMA, this is the same with all hardware companies; Bitmain may still service gear in the US not sure.

I Got 5 Pcs Avalonmier 1047 with 37TH/s on September
These devices are headaches all of them has different problems, At first when I receive the devices they looked liked second hand devices but they claimed that they just used in our lab for one month  Huh
I got each of them 2200USD but the price now (after 2 month is 900 USD)
This company Just want to sell Low quality devices at highest price
One of them has damaged Hashboard chip when I receive it , I'm in middle east, the after sales told me that you should send the device to chine for repairing , beside the expensive price (2200 USD) they send a Hashbord for replacing.
The others just reset automatically and can't mine 37 TH , they are around 35 & 36 TH , Avalon Creative after sales service is just remoting to the PC and uploading different version of firmware to test each of them work better on the devices.
Also they dont have any data base of their customers , thet told me that send the Control board photo to fine which model they have sent.
I do not suggest this company at all , Avalon Miners are just wasting money and time .

@Katun

Yes,
the latest firmware at the moment is A10APP_19100902_fe411a8_ea5ac00.aup

The firmwares are available here: https://downloads.canaan.io/downloads/software/

If you end up needing a new mm board,
I would recommend going through the RMA process with Canaan and request a new mm board from them.

I have been unable to get my new Avalon 1047 miner to work. This eventually led me to Canaan support which is currently requesting that I replace the mm board. Is that normal? Will doing that affect the warranty? Where would I purchase such a board? Also, is 19100902_fe411a8_ea5ac00 the latest firmware for the 1047 or is there something newer?

machine operates up to 40C, been testing from -20 to 40C.
Controller is in the miner, on chip. Our AI chip runs cgminer

Temps are good, for the summer months so that will be nice when it hits the high 30's here. Are you guys still planning on launching the Units without a built-in PSU? I haven't seen any come up available yet or did the idea get scrapped?

I'm also waiting for a full review, complete with: unboxing, web ui settings, power consumption, noise levels, tweaks for maximum efficiency and its respective parts disassembly Smiley

This is Cannan's first asicboost chip eh? My first immediate negatives would be: price, and the 30°C max ambient temperature. Its a good positive that they would (finally) allow simple LAN cables to be used, greatly simplifying setup (but is this still controlled from elsewhere as usual?)

haha  no not our first. It was in previous versions, just not exposed. but now that the patent issues are resolved...

Just submitted an order through Blokforge for an A1041 shipping July 15-20 for $1891 w/ shipping. Will update when it arrives with unboxing/setup pics and info.

Sure was but sarcheer's question was just a few days ago.



Looks like new orders for 1041 are shipping end of August now.

Have any of these shipped/appeared in the wild yet?

... I though Canaan was readying 7nm parts but their latest "A10" is still 16nm, hope is if they are brewing something new at 12nm or less like MicroBT is.
The A921 painfully proved to them that the 7nm node process is just not ready for prime time yet. Too expensive with results that are too variable and I expect it to remain so for at least another 6 months. With Microbt nailing it on the 16nm node Canaan made a wise choice taking a step back to 16nm for their A10.

I guess the other way to think about this is relative to the previous generation S9s...

e.g.  An S9 running Bitmain firmware in Low Power Enhanced Mode pulls about 9.8TH at, oh, ~85J/TH...

That means your getting about 3X the performance at 56J/TH for about a 1/3rd less power.  At $1500, that is like paying $500 for an improved efficiency S9.  Relative to the ~$2K/S9 we were paying a year ago (ok, maybe plus a few months), that is quite the deal.  Looks like e-bay is selling S9s w/PSUs for ballpark $250.

Wonder what that works out to in power ROI?  Lets see, very rough math... assume $0.10/kwh, 850W/S9, so 2550 for 3 of them... x 24 x 30 = $183.50/month in power.  The avalon will save about a third, so call it $60/month vs (3) S9s, so a bit over a year to break even. 

Seems rather risky...  Of course, mining Bitcoin always has been.

Right now  price works against them.  USA buyers get hit hard with trump tax  27.6%  and  the efficiency is only okay.

Paying 1500+  after trump tax and shipping is difficult.  

I hope to get one soon  to test.
