A picture is worth a thousand words 
Is that your unit? Or did you take that picture from something Jeff or the other guys posted? If that's another Avalon in the wild it's great news.

That is what the machine does during boot: run cgminer from the command line. That is necessarily how it must be run under Linux
One only needs to edit /etc/rc.d/S99cgminer. Here is a sample of S99cgminer:
Code:
DEVS=`find /dev/ -type c -name "ttyUSB*" | sed 's/^/-S/' | sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/ /g'`
PARAMS=" $DEVS $POOL1 $POOL2 $POOL3 --avalon-options 115200:24:10:45:282 -q --api-allow "W:0/0" --api-listen "
ntpd -d -n -q -N -p 0.openwrt.pool.ntp.org \
-p 1.openwrt.pool.ntp.org -p 2.openwrt.pool.ntp.org -p 3.openwrt.pool.ntp.org && \
start-stop-daemon -S -x $APP -p $PID_FILE -m -b -- $PARAMS
jeff,
Can you try --avalon-options 115200:24:10:42:300 Or something similar just to see if there is real increase in performance and post here the results?

Won't be long until it's a month since they shipped! Someone start a countdown!
Oh,don't be BFL'ish

Oh man! It won't be long!

Does it matter? It's easier to guarantee a complete update if you just image the whole flash; the unit should then exactly match fresh production units.
New firmware received from Avalon via email.
Upgrade was successful using standard web-based OpenWRT firmware upgrade procedure.
New image appears to be based on cgminer 2.10.5, and the fans are running at a much higher speed (and noise level) than the previous image. Restarted and was back to mining within minutes... let's see how this impacts stability.
How loud exactly is the unit. Can you compare it to the sound an Xbox360 makes? Or a range hood?Upgrade was successful using standard web-based OpenWRT firmware upgrade procedure.

Or, more to the point, an overclocked 6990/7990?

Thanks for the update!
I'm assuming that one can manually alter the fan profile in cgminer's config file. Have you tried this already?
That wouldn't be an accurate test of the new firmware, if the settings were altered before giving the defaults a good chance to succeed/fail.

Hi Jeff! Thanks for the update, please keep us posted on how the new firmware works out

I love there still aren't any avalon users in this thread... =P
Well there is one don't know if I have ever seen the foundation post them being in possession of the only other machine that seems to have made it into the wild in all these weeks...
