Could somebody tell me how much bandwidth an Avalon consumes in KB/s? My connection is 800 KB/s down and 100 KB/s up, but is also needed for browsing, downloading etc.

See screenshot, hopefully this helps you

Jesus, where do you live?
In a third world country, like italy. I have the same connection (well, i have 3 of that connections, bounded togheter to have something somewhat usable).

The stratum protocol should use something like 1Kbps or 1KBps, not sure.

Since this "is" Avalon users thread let us poor people know how much money you guys have made that you have CASHED in, NOT how many bitcoins you have accumulated. I'm quite curious. Of course if you want to refrain from letting us know how much money you have made that is your liberty and don't need any nasty offending comments that I've offended you for asking. Smiley

I just want to sulk and go into a deep depression from hearing all the numbers.



Haven't sold anything the avalons have made. Did sell some coins I had from before, bought back in when the price dropped.

but seasonic are (too?) large

They may be physically too large...have to get exact dimensions I guess. That's probably the one thing you don't want to be cheap on, is a good PSU and I think Seasonic's are the best in the business.

What are safe temperature levels for the Avalon units?
I'm looking currently at T1: 27, T2: -1, T3: 46
Where T3 fluctuates between 44 and 47.

Also I'm having for ~20 hours of mining 1150 HW errors, is this usual?

The status screen anyways brings up alot of questions, in sence of; what do all the abriations mean (didn't find it on the wiki, and I'm pretty new to mining).

cant fix the fpga, its a bug in hardware ( according to xiangfu ). We are going to ditch the serial code and use direct usb. new drivers.  ckolivas and xiangfu are going to try and do that next week. That should let us work around the problem and make things much more fluid.
Super!
10X for the update!

Yeah...umm...there is an issue with the FPGA controller board. I heard on the grapevine that they are working on a firmware workaround for it. Stay tuned to this thread.

Btw, what was your uptime before the lockup?


You mean a new bitstream for spartan 6?  That will be great! Are you sure about it dude? Who spreads this rumor..?

FYI, this morning my Avalon stopped hashing. It was hashing fine before I went to sleep, but after restarting cgminer and issuing the "reboot" command at the openwrt prompt, it still didn't work. I had to manually power cycle the machine by turning off the power to get the machine hashing again. I was using the latest 20130410 firmware. Gave me a good scare.

Here's the error that cgminer was giving:
AVA0: FPGA controller mess up, 24 wrong results                   
Avalon: Reset failed! not an Avalon? (0: c1 4f 87 64)

Yeah sorry I forgot to mention to try connecting via Ethernet first. I assumed he would know that though. If that fails he can always reset the system to factory defaults: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr703n

But I'd recommend trying a straight Ethernet connection before messing with the reset button.

I have changed the IP of Avalon from 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.1.100 (255.255.0.0) to better fit to the router IP
now I cannot access to luci anymore across Webbrowser or ssh (WLAN)
(in router there is luci/Avalon with the IP 192.168.1.x but ping does not work
Code:
PING 192.168.1.x (192.168.1.x) 56(84) bytes of data
is it ok that it seems that IP of Avalon LAN is the same as Avalon WLAN?
I have not located anywhere to change the WLAN IP, only the LAN IP...


Go to the network tab. It's all there. Edit the WLAN interface and give it a different IP otherwise you are going to continue to have IP conflicts.

I guess he can't access the network tab, maybe if you connect it to your laptop with ethernet cable and and assign static ip to your laptop (192.168.0.101)  you might be able to access luci across webbrowser again ?
