I have one board which is being disabled showing the following error:

Code:

Read hash data: error sending control message: No such device: Disabling device

Sometimes after 10, 20 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours.... anyway, enough to affect mining.

Firmware on the boards has been upgraded to the latest available version.
I believe I have ruled out a faulty USB hub and USB cables by swapping cables and plugging the board in directly to USB without an external hub.
Power supplies have been swapped with the same result. Eventually, I'll get around to making a cable for a large regulated power supply I have to completely rule out the power supply.

In the end, the problem was with the power supplies... both little cheap wall warts. After switching to a 12V 5A regulated power supply, no problems. Maybe not as efficient in term of power, but the boards have mined reliably for days without having to restart anything.

Until then I made a little Expect script to detect and reset the disabled miner. Expect is a program that can "talk" to other interactive programs via a script. My script is by no mean perfect but gets the job done and it resets the miner and has been running unattended for the past day so I figured I would share it.

I have tested this on Debian linux, you need to install "expect" in order to run it.

Code:

apt-get install expect

should be enough on Debian or Ubuntu.

Then start monitoring the following command:

Code:

expect ztex_restart_disconnected.exp

More details about the scripts below.

Two scripts are needed first a simple script containing the you use to start BTCMiner. The scripts should in the same directory as BTCMiner.....jar

The first script, start_ztex is what you use to start your cluster. eg... with mine I connect to a local stratum pool. You will need you change at least the host, port , username , password and perhaps firmware.

start_ztex.sh

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#
java -cp ZtexBTCMiner-121126.jar BTCMiner -v -host http://192.168.1.XX:XXXX -u XXXX -p x -f ztex_ufm1_15d.ihx -v -m c

The second script, is the expect script which monitors the output

ztex_restart_disconnected.exp

Code:

#!/usr/bin/expect -f
#
set timeout -1
spawn $env(SHELL)
match_max 100000
expect "*\$ "
send -- "./start_ztex.sh"
expect "./start_ztex.sh"
send -- "\r"
expect "(Re)Scanning bus ... \r"

# wait for error, then send r return
# first check resets right after the error
# second line for other more rarely errors that may disable the device (resets on the next device status line)
while 1 {
expect {
"Read hash data: error sending control message: No such device: Disabling device\r"
{ sleep 10 ; send -- "r\r" ; exp_continue }
"Device disabled since\r"
{ send -- "r\r" ; exp_continue }
}
}

I think the board is faulty though, I couldn't get it to even made the LEDs come on when I plugged it in, and none of the fans kicked on.

Fans are connected directly to supply voltage. Obviously you didn't supply it with power.

9V to 12V PSU that deliver at least 50W are recommended

Rpi is not handling Ztex miners very well.
I tried but the pi failed (one or multiple units) after some random time.
Has something to do with the integrated USB....

i have 4 1.15b running on a pi and its solid as a rock...

Mine is also 12v 5a laptop power supply, and no, I don't have anything like that, I run mostly Apple products.

I think the board is defective, and the seller agreed to supply me with a new one, so I'll see then I guess.

The Fans should run and the LEDs should be on (Green). If they are configured they are off.

Did you follow the guide on the Ztex homepage?

Is your hub powered?
Is it a brand or a cheap one? (Same for the Cable)

Did you install the right libusb (cgminer and BTCMiners are different)

All I really saw on their page (http://www.ztex.de/btcminer/) was "All files required are packed into a single jar archive which can be downloaded from the download section and runs under Linux and Windows," which I downloaded and ran the command they supplied while in the folder. I have the newest Java, but I'm not sure how you 'install' libusb exactly, unless there's more than the apt-get command.

I think the board is faulty though, I couldn't get it to even made the LEDs come on when I plugged it in, and none of the fans kicked on.

What does the Powersupply sticker say...

To run mine i need 12V 5A at least (laptop grade).

But the printout displays nothing like mine so the board is not recognized..... Could be USB, could be Power issues....

Do you have a computer at your place with a normal atx power supply and a spare 5,25 Molex (or anything else that has yellow and black cables <12V, Neutral>). Then you could provide the board with power over the proprietary connector (mine are black and i think the fake ztex boards do have a green one).

There is a tutorial on the ztex page.

BTCMiner with '-i' produces no connected devices.

Edit: I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 on an iMac, booting and running Linux from a flash drive. I downloaded the .jar from ztex - am I missing something? Should the fans automatically kick on when I plug it in? Should the LEDs flash?

You need libusb to talsk to the boards.

try to start BTCMiner with the "-i" option. It asks you for pool, pasword and login (you do not need them) and then it displays all connected boards (if working)

I'm having an issue with the FPGA Module 1.15y, getting a no devices found.

I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 off a thumb drive and I've downloaded the SDCC and BTCMiner. I've installed the SDCC and I got the openjdk-7-jre package through apt-get. Last night I was trying to figure it out and I had the LEDs on the board all flashing, but was getting no devices found. Today they aren't flashing, but I'm still getting no devices found when I run

sudo java -cp ZtexBTCMiner-121126.jar BTCMiner -host[hostinfo] -u[userinfo] -p[password]

This is my first experience trying to mine from command line... kudos to you all that know what you're doing, because I feel like I have no idea what's going on.

ZTEX FPGA Boards

I can confirm that an FPGA Board with the MAC address "0004a36dd5f2" was not produced by ZTEX.

The FPGA delivers wrong results from start-up. It's no overheating issue (but may be a defect caused by overheating). Probably the only thing you can "repair" by yourself are shortcuts, e.g. caused by electrical conductive thermal grease or metal (solder) remnants.

Turbor, thanks for the idea. I have done this already with CGminer, since cgminer clocks down continuously, it declares "Dead" only somewhere at below 120mhz usually and shuts it off.

Do not forget to check the heatsink sits correctly and that there is a good connection between the chip and heatsink (thermal paste!). And if you accidentally shorted parts with that paste (if conductive)

Unstable powersupply and cheap hubs do their part too!

Did you reset the board by using JP 1 (hardware reset) and reprogrammed the bitstream again?

I will take another look when I am home, right now it is hashing "on travel" here.

Asking for JP1, by the way, is another way to spot a clone: JP1 has no connector pins on the clones. Funny. I will short it with a paperclip to reach my goal then. No jumper here Cheesy

I had reprogrammed the Bitstream before using fwloader, but I might try it and do it again after circumventing EEPROM as in the manual. Looking at the heatsinks, I might perform some changes here as well and exchange whatever is in there (looks like Heatpads, ugh...) with some Arctic Cooling mx-2 paste.

But considering that the other chips run nicely, I believe that one of the Chips might have gotten damaged through improper heating. It can happen with these thermal pads.

Yes, heatpads .... Ztex puts a waring leaflet in the packets that says: "Do not use the provided heat pads. USe thermal paste instead!")

Sounds like cgminer. Try BTCminer for this one board. Gives you more information when the chip goes out.

I would only repair it if it was produced by me. Please contact me via http://www.ztex.de/contact.e.html for verification details.

Since your boards don't feature large USB rack connectors, I would argue it is a clone Wink

Do you have any ideas what I could do to check without repairs?
