Ok, so still having the dropping offline issues and noticed that just slightly touching the USB cable going into the rasPi would disconnect the miner. Switched USB cables and no disconnect when tapping it.
Will be relieved and highly annoyed if all of this is from a cheap USB cable.

LMao it could be that .!!!! I have had similar issue with cheap power supply's for PI types , so now i BUY to use right . !!!

my problem was for sure a bad MCU the replacement Avalon sent me did it , I'm good mines a little under clocked but still running around 3 to 3.1 th the fan gets to loud for me,to set it to 500.
glad yours is back up, running.

The software by default is set in the software for the miner 192.168.0.100 and you have to set your PC to Access it to to 192.168.0.1
then any browser type 192.168.0.100 then change the ip on the miner to either DHCP or 192.168.1.100 , I'm not to sure what your network is set to .
not sure what you mean the miner is not there does the USB converter from the IO cable to the USB cable turn blue then green or red or light up at all it might be a bad converter or the uart or this
http://bitcoinist.net/review-avalon-4-1-1-ths-bitcoin-asic-miner-quiet-power/#jp-carousel-13904 working. I know that says 4.1 but from what I tried the 4.1 works with the A6 I'll know for sure Wednesday mines due here then. make sure that is also plugged in .
yours should be in a plastic case .....
other wise not having it in front of me or seeing just what it's doing is beyond me unless it stopped working .
thanks for pointing out that mistake i made .

Really weird or I am really f'ing confused.
So with the new SD card image I can login to avalon web config page, but the miner does not run. The USB converter does the normal thing of red to green. I can click the "restart cgiminer" from the intranet portal and the USB converter LEDs blink their start patter red to green and the miner fan will adjust briefly but the miner LED remains blinking green, never goes to blue.
So, put the original SD card in and restart as it was mining, just couldn't control the speed as the portal would not come up (original issue which started the quest for new image) and went to the address 192.168.1.100 mistakenly as the browser defaulted to it (the original was on .24 or something) and the Avalon6 portal comes up and it's not weird looking like it was before, so I try logging in and it comes up normally, I'm able to control speed etc.
So I'm hella confused. I thought the CD card image was the OS and it was corrupted somehow. Now it is not??
Should I take a backup assuming it's OK at the moment??
Thanks,
Thomas

Ok, finally had time to get the right image on an SD card and the RasPI is booting. Changed the network info to :
192.168.1.1 as our router is on that.
I can login into the Avalon 6 Dashboard but the Miner is not showing up and I'm not sure how to diagnose going forward.
Any ideas?

forgot if you use there downloaded image you have to set you network on the PC your accessing the PI from to
192.168.0.1
255.255.255.0
the rest won't mater
then once you do that type in any browser
192.68.0.100
it should ask for a PASSWORD type root
once you log into the main UI go to the network link on the left hand side i think it is three links down change it to either
DHCP or
192.168.1. xxxx whatever you want it to log to for the XXX
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.1
reboot and set your PC back to auto or DHCP
the rest is easy

I can tell if I see it but here is RPI 2 B aka RPI2
https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-2-model-b/
here is
RPI 1 b + aka RPI b +
https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/model-b-plus/
it is very confusing or can be.

Hey. Thanks for your info. Just got time to check back on this. Will work on your pointers tomorrow.
How can I determine which RasPi I have? I booted it connected to a monitor, imagine the info is in those startup lines.
As a beginner miner I got caught out with my Avalon 6 Pi image
The different images are for different Rasberrys Pi's
I had a original Pi and was trying to use the largest image , did not work
https://canaan.io/en/support/
Make sure you select the right image for your model Pi
I had to use my camera to format my SD cards as the SD card imager on my PC did not work

Hello All,
Been running an Avalon6 beastie with no issues for several months but lately it's been dropping offline at a minimum every with 24 hours of being restarted.
Other symptoms are the web portal seems to be broken so can't flash from the RasPi:
Broken image:
http://imgur.com/a/fgO1q
and no menu or content after logging in:
http://imgur.com/a/ZIH9g
I've created a couple of sd cards with the latest image:
openwrt-brcm2708-bcm2709-sdcard-vfat-ext4
Using the win 32 disk imager. I've compared the crippled but working SD card contents to the new card contents and they seem to be nearly identical as to type and amount of files but when I use the new SD card in the RasPI it does not appear to boot. LEDs inside are read as opposed to the red and amber and green ones.
What am I missing here? What other info can I provide?
Thanks,
Thomas
