None that I know of. The CTO gets in to the office in a little bit. I will ask her when she gets here.
I upgraded >100 A741, working fine
So I asume the 721version is working also:)
Yeah, about that...
Found a very good reason to be careful when you mix 721's and 741's on the same node (Ripi). 1st, glad I put the 3x 721's and the 741 on separate dongles (strings). Made it easy to see/understand what is to follow. The 741 is ASIC-0 and the 3x 721's are ASIC-1
This will show why it is a must-have to have another pre-configured Ripi as a spare....
While poking around Canaan's github I saw that not only is there updated controller firmware but also updated .mcs miner firmware. Soooo, silly me picked up the latest 741 hardware (.mcs) file and applied it. Never occurred to me that
the file is applied to ALL miners on that node. In my case, 3x 721 and 1x 741. My bad...
The 741 -- happy as a clam
The 3x 721's however -- very unhappy about thinking they were now 741's
Node went from a combined average of 27-28THs to 15THs at best. 8.xx of the speed was from the happy 741 as expected. The 3x 721's however dropped from a usual 3*6.2THs to at best 3*3THs...
Of course I applied this at the end of day, thankfully Friday so just let 'em run to be fixed off-work on Sat.
Again, nice having a spare RiPi, in my case an old -1 but in a nice case etc. Is a Canna kit - any relation? Loaded with the RiPi firmware from the Canaan site I so often quote, and preset with my pool & network setup. Got in Sat morning, one at a time put each miner on the test node and flashed with the latest .mcs firmware --
this time paying attention to use the correct 721 or 741 specific files. Put them back on the work node - success!
All is now well and the work node is once again steadily banging around 27+THs again.Speaking of 'steadily' - remember me mentioning how Awesome Minoer was reporting wild hash rate spikes? As in the node hitting 80 THs or more as sharp spikes followed by equally dramatic dips. Look back for it. Anywho, after the fixes and applying the latest controller firm/software -- once again the Awesome hash rate graphing reads right! No more wild spike swamping out the far lower hash rates of the mere around 13THs s9/t9's.
Very readable 26-30THs range to the Avalon node over any given 5min, totally on-par with the proportionately smaller variance all my s9 and T9's show. A lot easier to see those now since not buried in the mud from showing 80 some-odd instantaneous speed.
Morals:
Keep a spare, pre-setup RiPi handy to use as a test node. Keeps the main node(s) alive while you fix fups.
At least when flashing the model-specific *.mcs miner firmware for the hardware itself -- segregate the 721 and 741 miners first!Cheers!
Edit - eye candy of I think my 1st portable mp3 player...
Took the pic a few days ago, still works and still love the USB-stick setup of it. My current 'lil Sansa with it's 32GB sd card may be smaller/lighter but still gotta love this. Good design there.
