Used the new v3.3_4gb image, and changed the ports of the cables. And it worked. So changing the USB cable from one blade to the other might work for some of you.

Thanks then PiOne_4G_V3.3_170605.img
is the latest version for the A900 E Baikal Mini exact?

But did any of you configure and understand coem activate remote baikal management?

I have been trying and searching for days....had the no devices running error.

^^This guide was very helpful (nothing really technical there but it worked)

Hope it helps anyone. My miner is running like new again (Giant A900)

Good morning

I have three Baikal Machines
 
A Baikal Giant A900 Dash Miner
A Baikal Quadruple 600MH / s Dash Miner
And a single BAIKAL MINER ASIC 150Mh / s

I have some doubts to clarify:

First question can all be connected in series with blade cables?
If so how should the sequence be?

In the Baikal A900 there are 4 power plugs just one for Lama
or all 4 must be connected
What changes in many movies I see connected only two one for the blade.

Second question how can i understand which firmware version is installed
on my tabs to see if you need to update them?

And how do I figure out what image I have in the SD of my Baikal?

I know that only on the Baikal A900 I have the Mail Alert Manager
but immaigne is not the same for everyone?
Can I also enable it on the Baikal 150 and the Quadruple 600?
Confirm me that this is the latest PiOne_4G_V3.3_170605.img image

I have an SD 8 and even 16GB in the home so I have no problems if image
is it bigger there are more up-to-date and complete images that I can use?

I also wanted to change the host name if they entered putty
but baikal baikal does not have root permissions
which user should I use to modify the files for the host name?

Last question is not clear how I can control it remotely
can anyone speculate how to do it?

Thank you

Hi, everybody.

I have few Baikal Giant+ miners. One of them stopped working smth about 1 month ago.
Blue leds are blinking permanently and I dont see it ip address.

What I tried:

1. Moved OPI to another part (change master and slave).
2. Changed OPI to new one
3. Flash image to sd from healthy Baikal

No result.

Few questions:

1. Is it correct image for me https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B1GBwN5-i39VRzNQS28tWlpsTVk  ?
2. Is there any possibility to connect OPI Zero to monitor, so I can see how OS is booting?

Thanks.

Thanks Lafu but I've already tried this. Baikal Support told me again to return the miner. They think MCU Chip has burned and that it is a hardware damage. I think I will return it.
Interesting. Can you ask them if it's possible to replace the MCU with an off the shelf replacement?

Hi,

this forum is my last hope, it would be great if someone could help me.
My baikal giant A900 stopped working afer a electricity cut during a thunderstorm.
That was 3 days ago and since then the miner doesn't work anymore. Blue lights won't stop flashing and in the interface it says miner is up but no devices running.

I already tried to flash the latest image for sd card "PiOne_4G_V3.3_170605". Doesn't help.
I also connected the orange pi to a monitor and it shows "failed to set cpu frequency to 1536 mhz" and also "cannot enable port 1 maybe the usb cable is bad".
The PSU is alright but I also checked with another one, no change.
So I think that maybe the sd card image is bad. Does someone have another image for the giant?
I also was looking for the firmware of the miner, but I can only find the baikal mini one.

Thanks.

Hi, does someone have the firmware for Giant A900? I would like to reflash it. I also contacted Baikal Support, they told me that the problem maybe is something called MCU burn. Sounds to me like some kind of short circuit but I'm not sure. Miner doesn't work for 10 days now. Luckily I have my Giant+ working fine but it sucks anyway.

Hey dude try this one  https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4Hh_Jnj3K-CWnlnaXNLRWRmamc   OrangePI-PC_8G_V2.2_1021.img

So what blew up, the Pi controller underneath or the chip itself?
Here are photos of the burned ic.
I like to know what it exactly is.

Not sure, but I have noticed that if the Pi goes out it can take out the CPU on the miner. Is there a place where I can download the miner firmware for a reflash; I'm going to try replacing the CPU.

That is a power problem. Can you put a separate power source into the board that is blinking? It should work from there.

Hi ppl, i have bought me recently a cube, it was working fine until i saw that it stopt every 10min. and then to start again mining.
It was not getting hot.
But i saw that the power adapter that was deliverd with it was max 7amps at 80W max.
And i had a 240W 12v 30A switching psu, that i tried to power it, when the cube blew a chip.
Now only the fan is blowing, no signs from the cube it self.

What did i do wrong?

And can some one take a photo off the board pls, to see what chip it was?

I have a Baikal Giant Plus that only hashes with one board. I've tried moving the white cable as well as the control board to no avail. Let me know if there's troubleshooting I can try thanks.

Any questions about miner, please do not hesitate to contact our after-sale colleague. [email protected].

sometime maybe have delay on reply, but we surely will get back to you Smiley, we will help you make all miner back to working.

 
Good to hear from the vendor. Seems like the Orange Pi's have a habit of blowing up, would it be possible for you to post the following:

1) How one can reload the Atmel CPU on the miner in the event it needs to be replaced?
   (I have a miner here in the shop. The Pi blew up and took out everything on the SPI line which appears to be that component)
2) Exact model of orange Pi and firmware on SD card we should be loading.

Thanks!

I knew Baikal would turn up sooner rather than later.

I have generally had good experiences with these miners. Whenever I have a problem, I have often needed a bigger power supply (they degrade) or I need to check my work in connection them. Roll Eyes

Hello. Baikal miner not mining. Shows 3 in the graphical interface 450mh not 600mh. And only red flashing on one miner. Any tips on how I can fix this? Help me! https://youtu.be/k9gdTkNADCk

remove all cables, just power that top miner. if only red light on. then send that top board back to us for repairing.
contact [email protected] for troubleshooting.
