update on my problem.
the problem I am having is I can't even get in to the openwrt barrier breaker interface or hit the splash screen. Wherever that "os" software is stored is where the problem lies. I've tried hard reboots, a hard reset with the switch, and still nothing. I scanned for the Ip of the asic which should be the 192.168.0.100 since I could not connect to it or ping it.

if you did the hard reset by pressing the reset button after bootup, try 192.168.1.1 as the IP for the board
and telnet (not ssh or surf) to it

The scan came back negative for that address, it couldnt see anything there and there was no mac address present, despite the fact that windows network connections could "see" that the cable was plugged in to something and not completely disconnected.

anybody have some thoughts on this problem? a fix would be rewarded

Dear Bitsyncom and/or Avalon ASIC Team

Can you please answer my ticket #1236
I have not received all the batch 2 machines that i ordered and my ticket has sat unanswered for over a week now.

I have tried to contact you via PM on the forum, via e-mail and of course this ticket was the first thing i did.

I have waited patiently for my machines, and the ones delivered are great, thank you.

Please can someone attend to my ticket and the missing machines.

Latest update from Avalon.

Avalon ASIC July Update, Trade-In, Batch #3, Chips and more

What's an update without some photos?

Batch three Refund
Understandably, batch three has been overdue for a few weeks, whilst shipping is due to start Monday, and finish within 2 weeks. Those who do not wish to wait can fill out the form for a refund, please note the deadline for these refunds is before the 14th, once we start shipping we will not be honoring any refunds that gets posted.

Finally caught up
Scaling up production has been problematic for us in the past, but today? No more. The speed which we finished shipping batch #2 which took about 3 weeks (aside from custom issues with Serbia and Germany), batch #3 will be no different, and will be even faster. We modified the module upgrade design so it'll fit both generation 1 and generation 2 case setups, the chips are being moved to shanghai so they may begin to deliver by mid-july, trade-in list has been acquired and cleaned up. ( I hope everyone already have an account on the store. ) The Avalon team are very excited to get these things over with so we may get back to engineering.

In Summary
Trade-in emails are going out at the same time as this newsletter.
The chips is scheduled to start delivering mid-july in order which they were purchased.
Batch three starts shipping mid-july, expected to finish within 2 weeks as there is no order issues unlike batch #2
Part of batch #3 will have different design as we continue to improve our unit.
Once batch three starts shipping and no problem arises, we will begin taking orders for upgrade modules.
upgrade modules will be in-stock as there is no pre-order, delivery time frame 3-5 days.
Next generation chip is in the works, 55nm will not be very different physically for backward compatibility.
We will make announcement at least 2 month prior of 55nm release so those who purchase our generation one chip will not be in the dark.

agreed. but how bout small photos?

What is a normal ratio of invalid to valid shares for an Avalon.

I'm trying out Ozcoin today and so far I'm getting,

Valid shares: 202,081
Invalid shares: 16,775
Efficiency: 92.34%

for the current round.

That seems like a lot of invalid shares. Is that typical? What could be causing this?

PS

Looking at my 5btc stats I see:

Valid: 45692
Invalid: 4

Wonder why it's so different for ozcoin.

I guess if the card is dead. My only other option is to ethernet direct to the unit? Is that correct
just reviewing the wiki page.
Thanks everyone for your time,
Brian

when you say "the card" what do you mean? the tplink or the hashing modules (3)?

either way, i think the best thing is to use the ethernet connection instead of wifi?

sorry as you specified it better, tplink card is dead. Would I have to run Linux or would Windows 7 work? For Cgminer
thanks guys for the feedback
Brian

so you'll have to replace the tplink router. it runs on OpenWRT, it's own sort of OS

..

Thanks for the reply. Yes that would have to be replaced (tplink router). I think that the tplink router runs OpenWRT. But since my card is defective, I wouldn't be able to connect to OpenWRT. Or are you saying that the ethernet cable would connect to the unit and use OpenWRT(somehow)? I know typically the router has some software such as OpenWRT. Depending on that answer I would then have to connect up the ethernet cable. Well just making sure and I really appreciate your time. Many thanks everyone for helping me out.
Regards,
Brian

it appears to be the network controller card. I've contacted Avalon and am hoping they will be able to help me out. Thanks everyone for your time!

Actually all zeroes indicates cgminer never started. There is a problem somewhere in your options.

I'm confused, if the cgminer never started (or if it gets killed for some reason), doesn't the

Status -> Cgminer API log tab

only show these lines:

Code:

[Firmware Version] => 20130703
cgminer-a011fe5
luci-d854edc+
cgminer-openwrt-packages-800cc58
Socket connect failed: Connection refused

and the

Status -> Cgminer Status tab

show the empty fields with "This section contains no values yet" in stead of the 0 filled fields?

I am having the same exact issues. My unit was working for 1 day... then it just went idle..... I have opened a ticket as well before finding this thread. Avalon did reply and said try connecting directly to the usb inside, which I did and still could not get the unit to work.

I have tried ALL FIRMWARE. Started from Factory firmware to the lastest one on the market.
I have tried changing to different mining pools.
I have tried changing to different networks/internet.
I have tried replacing cables.
I have tried different routers.
I have tried direct link via USB.
I have tried different services (Internet, router brand, open firewall etc.)

so you'll have to replace the tplink router. it runs on OpenWRT, it's own sort of OS. you can connect to it either with Windows or Linux via your pc or laptop.

it appears my card is dead in the Avalon unit. What are my options if any? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Brian

I'm very sorry to hear this. Try opening a support ticket with Avalon, or you could sell the modules individually - I'm sure there are many people on this forum interested (me including) Wink

thanks for the feedback. I have opened a ticket. Hopefully I hear from Avalon.. I am just speechless.
