Con Kolivas <[email protected]> also develops firmware for the Avy, so I am surprised he hasn't come out with an update. But I have alerted him to this post so hopefully he comes out with something soon; I find his updates are better than YiFU's. Smiley
My avalon fell below profitable mining so it's gone. Hence I'm not doing any more firmware.
Actually I still have all my automated scripts for building it lying around, so if you're brave, here is firmware that is done completely blindly and totally untested for 55 and 110nm avalons with cgminer 4.0.1

Hey I tried your firmware in my Avalon mini and it didn't load in properly, it just restarted part way through the push and luckily the old firmware is still working. I didn't dump the old setting as I wasn't sure what it would do. LOL

How much are you paying for electricity that it's no longer profitable?  Mine is still ~75% profit.

Or did you just run out of power / cooling capacity for more efficient gear?

As long as there are still some coins to be made I am going to keep running my Avalon's. Smiley

Thanks for the firmware.

Working fine so far on one of my 55nm, will try on all the machines now

Thanks!

i have tried running 16 and 24
 and still i get

[match_work_count1] => 3878
   [match_work_count2] => 3755
   [match_work_count3] => 3849
   [match_work_count4] => 3763
   [match_work_count5] => 3786
   [match_work_count6] => 3785
   [match_work_count7] => 3799
   [match_work_count8] => 3717
   [match_work_count9] => 3949
   [match_work_count10] => 3846
   [match_work_count11] => 3886
   [match_work_count12] => 3762
   [match_work_count13] => 3858
   [match_work_count14] => 3822
   [match_work_count15] => 3734
   [match_work_count16] => 0


but even missing that 1 i am getting pretty good speed with it

So the only thing to do is check the cables inside, and see if the last sub board is burnt in anyway.

Well i wrote this update with the help of XiangFu


the update is that you are now able to run CGminer 4.0.0 which before this update the avalon mini was running 3.9.0


I am seeing about a 5ghs improvement ( normal speed was 47ghs - 49ghs before update due to a bad chip or miner since only 15 of the 16 chips/miners  work )

if someone can show or tell me how i can post a pic i will post the pic up to prove new speeds

Are you running 24 or 16 miner count? If you set the miner to 24 miner count all 16 miners should work without a hitch unless you have managed to fry a sub board. Also the miner is supposed to be running at 350Mhz by default which would put it around 55-59GH/s. At 400Mhz my miner does closer to 62GH/s but I don't recommend you running at 400Mhz unless you plan to put your miner into a deep freezer. Smiley

Nice!
I wonder if they will ever put out an update like that for my Gen 1 Avalon 70 gh/s unit?
Good luck and keep us up to date on your progress.

WOOOOOT

it works and I am getting better speed also

Hey I would thought i would let everyone know that i am working on a update for the Avalon Mini's to allow you to update to cgminer 4.0.0 from 3.9.0


I will keep you all up to date on my progress

Avalon issues. Sad

My B1 is having issues, I suspect the PSU is on it's last legs. This morning I noticed my light stopped blinking on my Avalon, when I checked my P2Pool the hashrate was very low, but higher more than my 60 + 12GH running. So I powered it down for a couple of minutes then powered it up and it started hashing normally again.

I just checked now remotely and notice my P2Pool shows I am doing 160GH/s out of the 180+, I checked the Avalon and noticed that all cards are working but the error rate is at 2.4 (yikes), I did a soft reboot. I suspect my AX860i is going because when the power goes off and on (I rarely have power brown outs or power loss but when I do I notice this) the PSU doesn't come back on properly and the Avy show's a red light forcing me to power it off and waiting a few seconds then powering it back on. Does this sound right?

That is weird.  You might have to use the hardware reset button if it has one inside like some do.  That will get you back to default and you can go in.
If the IP address is showing in the router though you should still be able to get to it unless there is a firewall block on your computers end though.
I wish I could help more.


nope i have tried that, it seems like the page can only be accessed on the IP that is assigned to the lan connection.

No matter what i have done i cant get it to work right

It might be that it has a new IP Address.
Go into your router and check the clients list and once you find it type that into your browser to get to the login screen.
That should allow you back in with no issues.
I hope that helps you.

Hey is there any way to make an AVALON Mini respond to the Config page over Wifi connection???
I have it in another room and it is connected over wifi but it will only allow me to config it if i am connedted via lan, and Since this is being moved to another location in a few days i want to be able to remote access to this device ( API ) once it is in the new location ( all the way across town )
