I added a new string to the config so it would report to MultiMiner.
Now I am getting that dam socket error again and no mining. I have been offline with it for over and hour. If anyone can help please let me know.
Here is my string.

Code:

--log 5 --api-listen --api-allow W:127.0.0.1,192.168.0.0/24

I changed nothing else. Cold boot and soft boots and no results.
I am feeling quite dumb right now.

do this: --api-allow W:127.0.0.1,W:192.168.0/24

and no, I did not miss a zero ...

I am flashing this while it is not mining. I will let you know if it gets me back up and mining.

A new openwrt with 4.2.0 ?

TY.

Here you go, firmware based on cgminer 4.2.0 (with efficient solo mining!):

sorry if this question has already been asked before (i am still currently backtracking the whole thread.. wew!)

but i got a few question about a knock-off avalon from china....

1. i noticed every morning when i checked the dashboard.. running time is at 2hrs or so.. seems like the miners has been restarting itself? is it normal?

2. anyone got a recommended setting for the clone avalon? i seems to be having an awful lot of hardware errors and rejects / stale

3. checking the CGMiner Api Log.. noticed that 1 worker is not working... any possible way i can do to wake up that chip?

4. best firmware version so far for this type of machine? currently using 20131123

5. mod for the cooling fan? it has been so loud and sounds like living in a runway where in a jet plane is trying to take off 24/7... =D

thanks in advance...

Probablt the temperature raises and the avalon stops , you cant do anithing about the noise , it is how it is. I cant understand what you mean at point 3 , workers and chips got nothing to do.

Hello , maybe a stupid question but i cant enter to the miner , i use ipscan and it is not showing it , i dont know the miners ip ive tried 192.168.0.100 that is the factory custom but it is not there, anyone knows how to mannually change the ip , thank you.

try connecting a computer/laptop directly to the avalon with network cable, set it (your computer/laptop) to a static ip 192.168.0.101 , now you should be able to log in to your avalon (192.168.0.100) , if not.. maybe try resetting the avalon router to factory defaults first

Thank you for the answer , how do i resset the avalon to factory default?

there is a reset switch on the back of the router iirc

Failsafe mode

When the configuration no longer allows you to log in via any network connection (e.g. lost password), the OpenWrt failsafe mode can be entered via the single "Reset" button on the device. However, in contrast to the generic failsafe instructions, for the TL-WR703N you have to wait for ca. 10 (10-12) seconds before pushing the "Reset" button after powering on the device. If the button is pushed immediately after powering on, the single blue LED will start blinking, supposedly indicating some failsafe firmware recovery mody of the embedded bootloader (not yet discovered how to use it). In this mode, the OpenWrt failsafe is not being started. Instead, wait for slightly longer than 10 seconds and - as soon as the LED starts blinking for the first time after powering on the device, push the "Reset" button for ca. 1-2 seconds. Immediately afterwards, the LED will blink rapidly (multiple Hz) and OpenWrt will be in failsafe mode.

- The above didn't work on a Ver 1.6 box running OpenWRT r33312. To get into failsafe mode, power up the device and wait until the LED starts flashing (about 2Hz). Once it starts flashing (within about 4 seconds) then quickly press the button. The LED will then flash much faster and the device will be in failsafe mode.

If anyone is interested I am selling my Avalon Gen 1.
I just updated the firmware using this thread and it is running solid at 82 gh/s to 83 gh/s.
I really don't want to sell it but my wife and I need the money. I have a 3rd spinal surgery in less than a year and a half coming up in a few weeks.
I appreciate you all taking a look and thank you.

Hello, someone can build the latest openwrt trunk with the lastest cgminer? (4.1.0)

Here you go, and given the bugfixes that went into 4.1.0, this might be one of the best firmwares ever, though it's completely untested.

What are acceptable temps and HW errors on Avalon2 200Gh/s?

I'm seeing about 252k errors over the past 14hrs with a temp a 49 and freq of 1400. This is a dual card rig.

Coming from GPUs, that seems like an awful lot of errors, but dropping to a freq of 1300 didn't seem to do much.

It's an avalon Chinese copy, 55nm

As for the hardware issue Tom_o pointed me in the right direction already...

"1) Fuses blown on those modules (upper left of each submodule on the blade PCB, usually marked "FUSE1" or two fuses right next to each other with a "P" on them - see the btmine thread in Group Buy).
2) Bad connection on the pits from the blade board atop the blade connecting to the 4 PCBs of 2 worker modules each (the pins could be bent or misaligned).
3) Power supply marginal, such that only certain modules are getting enough current.

You can check 1) with a voltmeter (some resistance across fuse means it is blown, near-zero resistance means the fuse is fine)
You can check 2) via visual inspection
You can check 3) but putting in a known-to-be-beefier power supply and seeing how it goes

Personally, I'd go with #1, but that's only because that's what I experienced with my own Avalon clone.

Hope this helps! And good luck!"

I've checked the thread and btmine had posted a picture of the fuse location so thats where I'm going to start...

http://www.imagebam.com/image/f71c0d303222836

Ineterested to know if anyone else has managed to fix the possible fuse issue? especially where to get the fuses from.

I'm useless with a soldering iron, tempted just to live with it.

HELP - It's not a fuse issue, fairly sure that this chip is the problem. Anyone else had the same problem? Can I get a replacement?

The whole unit works better across the board. This was an excellent update.

It would be a happy coincidence though as mine dropped a bunch as well.
It runs very fast and stable as well. I have been peaking on BTCGuild with it at 86 gh/s at 350 with sustained at 83 gh/s.
The new firmware rocks.

Quote from: -ck on March 10, 2014, 08:28:18 AM

Any difference you see in HW% with the latest firmware is almost certainly sheer coincidence.

I'm more than happy to take the credit if things get better Wink
