what is TempMax?
the temp that has arrived in the past or the temp it is allowed to go to?

Temp3   TempMax
  47            121

From observation, it appears to be the maximum temperature seen (all time record).



that's what i've seen as well.

Occassionally, something bugs out and TempMax jumps to 100+. i think i saw a changelog that said something about ignoring values 100+.

Looks like I had the 20130218 build.  I flashed it to 20130225 a few minutes ago.  I like the new cgminer status page.

What are the "-32" firmware builds?

at some point could you outline step by step how to upgrade firmware for all of us?  i use a macbook pro. 

this is obviously going to be something we all will be doing regularly and none of us want to brick the avalon.

That's easy.  Just login to the web interface, and go System -> Backup/Flash Firmware.

Upload the firmware via web browser.

Guessing you have to have the firmware on a flash drive plugged into the USB hub and mounted? Or is there enough space on the device to download the firmware locally?

To repeat:  upload the firmware via web browser:   System -> Backup/Flash Firmware.

From the perspective of the user (you), the firmware is on the computer with the web browser.  You connect via web browser to the ASIC miner's OpenWRT web interface, and upload the firmware via web browser.



Ahh thanks for clearing that up. Now I feel dumb... Guess I was making that waaaayyy to complicated...

How can I tell what firmware version I'm running?

Hi

Under recently firmware. there is a version files for avalon firmware(include all repo commit sha), if your avalon don't have such file. update to latest firmware:
  http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/xiangfu/avalon/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-factory-20130225.bin

cat /etc/avalon_version

I know the field is currently limited, but has anyone else tried to do some stupid shit like me and attempted to get a custom version of cgminer running on the avalon?

I compiled a new version of cgminer without avalon support but with bitforce support (since the avalon version of cgminer is incompatible with other hardware). Everything compiles, but when run it I get "BFL0: invalid nonce - HW error"

The post at https://forums.butterflylabs.com/fpga-single-minirig-support/266-bitforce-single-fails-2.html seems to point at some bad/incompatible usb issues. My avalon miner also tends to crash after I plug a bitforce into the usb hub.
Have you tried the BFGMiner Avalon firmware? This should work with both Avalon and BitForce devices.

I've tried your openwrt package and it works on a new router that I got. I haven't tried it on the avalon since I put the screws back in the case (what a pain in the ass!) and don't have access to the USB hub now.

FWIW, I tried several versions of cgminer (2.10.5, HEAD, usb-dev, psheps) and all of them fail on OpenWrt with "BFL Invalid nonce" errors. However, BFGminer does not error during mining. BFGMiner, however, does segfault on exit (and messes up the terminal screen).

So my assumption is that bfgminer will work on the avalon based on it working on my tplink wdr4300. note: no way i'm going to try and install the custom bfg firmware...too risky.

Continuing to experience a "halting problem" on my Avalon ASIC miner:

The miner stops mining, fans stop spinning, but cgminer is alive and responding to API queries.

Pastebin of cgminer API log, at the time of the stopped-mining incident:  http://pastebin.com/uiBvaJkH

Another thing to consider ... there are a few locks inside cgminer to of course handle threaded access to certain data.
Maybe something is deadlocking in the Avalon version?
Just a suggested path to look into ... if it isn't a hardware problem.

The firmware I'm currently running is openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-factory-20130225.bin

MD5SUM: e81950212f813652b9d7b989765bc35f
SHA1SUM: b297223d387e4d69996fa0765879d81a6c897dd6



Looks like you may be running the same version but you quoted the (20130225 - Feb 25th?) at the end of the file name compared to:

This link is always link to latest firmware:
  http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/xiangfu/avalon/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-factory.bin


Are these the exact same?

The MD5 and SHA1 hashes were provided so that you may answer that question yourself Smiley
