Which Raspberry Pi firmware did you use ?
This may occurs before this one, https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon6#20160125.
We always use the latest Raspberry Pi firmware with the latest Avalon Miner 6.0 MM firmware.
Anyway We still work hard to keep backward.

time to try some new firmware

Tested it and I can't get my daisy chain to work ... I see all 4 in the UI but only one is hashing

EDIT: did a rollback to the previous version. working now.

I didn't update the Pie... it's probably that.

Thanks for your experience Herb. My only real complaint with my Avalon6 is that I have never had any real success in terms of "downclocking" it. I can easily adjust the Frequency down to 100 (from 500 nominal), but after a few hours, it's essentially back up to the original power, speed, and fan RPM.

A couple other questions:

1) I assume you just use the "System --> Backup/Flash Firmware" tab to do so?

2) I see 3 files in the directory you pointed to on the website. I understand the md5sums file. Bu I don't know if the mm.bit or mm.mcs is the actual image to be flashed. How did you know which one to choose?

3) Have you ever tried reducing the Frequency and observed the effect several hours later?

alex

Hey Sorry for the late reply !

1) No it's Status => MM Upgrade

2) It's the MCS file.

3) Nope but Philipma1957 did some test, downclocking improve just a little bit the efficiency but it's very substantial.

Tips => Please visit https://ehash.com/support for support,visit http://downloads.canaan-creative.com for firmware download.

@Herb: For you, what was the "previous" version?

Is the process of changing the MM firmware pretty reliable and painless? I don't worry at all about the RPi stuff since I can always just put back a previous SD card, but have zero experience with changing the MM firmware.

Any caveats or warnings, besides the usual "Leave it alone if it's not broke"?

Pretty much, don't fix what is not broken but I tried it anyway Tongue

I went back to the January release => https://canaan.io/downloads/software/avalon6/mm/2016-01-25/
