Has anyone ripped or got a copy of the TP-Link flash for the controller? I forgot I have 2 sitting here at the shop that were for an avalon project awhile back.

Ewww.

All the messages from jack and from around the community in different languages say that the controller is locked down. But I wonder when jack finishes this new firmware if you will be able to load it on them?

there is a guide how to get .... into the locked ... Lightningasic controller ... and unlock it ...

FYI the TL-WR703N is a wireless router, so if you can get root access you can connect it directly to an AP

I'll try to remake the lightningasic firmware, unfortunately I don't have too much time to deal with it right now. If anybody wants the original and the lightningasic versions of rootfs to play with let me know. A few things probably have to be removed from the default install to get some extra space. LA also removed all of the wireless drivers.

also this would benefit a lot ... if we could ... open the wireless part ...

I went back through the instructions and ran into a problem.

First, I successfully have CGminer hashing in SHA-256 mode. When I then go to run CPUminer in scrypt mode with the dual flag, I get this error:

Code:

./minerd: error while loading shared libraries: libjansson.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I went through the CPUminer installation instructions again to be sure I hadn't missed something. All of the commands completed successfully, but I do still get the error above.

I also tried launching minderd without CGminer running.

Note that I know just enough about Linux to be highly dangerous, and I appreciate any help from the folks who know more.

Ohhhhh

Try this

Code:

sudo -s
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libjansson.* /usr/lib/

And let me know. I omitted it from the guide because it didn't appear to be needed on my system.

Just to keep the public thread on this clear, this link command did allow me to launch CPUminer, though I can't get it to return any yays. Still working on that, but I wanted to thank miaviator for getting me this far!

I had that problem on my Pi and did this to fix it

apt-get install libjansson-dev (or something like that)

Router is a tp-link.

I'm using a linksys WRT-54GL as a bridge.

First router has AP isolation disabled, it is bridged to second router. wireless security disabled on both (for now).

What is weird is being able to see the ip address of the controllers but not access them. lol. suck.

Don't suppose you hardwired just to make sure that everything works?

Pulling my hair out. lol.

I had to go with the controller option instead of PC because of electrical wiring in my house.

So I setup a second router as an AP and used my main router to bridge it.

I can see both of the controller ip/mac addresses. When I type them in.....nothing. Cannot connect.

Any ideas guys?

AP client isolation may be turned on.

What are the models of the two routers (the bridge and the router)

Any idea on what to do? The virtual com17 say is working properly.

thanks

Use

--gc3355=\\.\COM17 instead, that should fix it. you need the direct address for COM10 onwards

This actually helped big time the \\.\COM11 (and so on) is working on my machine currently now. So I have 10 running in Windows 7 x64 currently.

My units are red - what are the practical differences - should I feel speshul compared to the golden peasants or just jump off a bridge?

Sometimes the units do this :

Code:

0: >>> LTC : 55aa1f2816000000
0: >>> LTC : 55aa1f2817000000
0: >>> LTC : 55aa1f000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000c0ff3f00000009a1993dbcaaeb744a2f84d36bd2540e97e4df56486ff3ead1a12a70d0db998700000002d50931d314c0e2070a387b02a95ca2605c1e61b569d425fc9a34ac01588e7f0aecdc35f508449ec1eaf003bfa0a02374a6f0470e0b9719c94201c16e6941a0155313d8f31c08174500000000ffffffff12345678
[2014-03-03 02:21:04] Stratum detected new block
[2014-03-03 02:21:04] 0: Dispatching new work to GC3355 LTC core

for like an eternity , with pools not reporting any hashrate. Any magic tricks to make them do the YAY or is everything as it should be?

There is some difference which I have yet to find. The lack of yay usually means you are not submitting shares. You could try another pool but it sounds like you are submitting shares as you said sometimes.

I had this issue as well seems unplugging/replugging usb connection resolves it. I changed the port speed to 115200 and run it at 800 MHZ which seems to make me have to do this with much less frequency. Anything higher and its every few hrs I must reset it seems.

I think I'm having a UART problem in that my cheapo $20 Inland 10 port hub's UARTs ain't keeping up because they aren't really HIGH SPEED chips , just FULL SPEED just 1.1 compatible shyt... which I don't frikkin need...that is if its really the hub....might have only one downstream UART and 1 upstream instead of a high speed full duplex uart at each port, which I am thinking costs more than $20 ;]. I don't mind spending the money for a good hub but they gotta stop BSing people about them being real 2.0 High Speed hubs.....UGH!

Anyway, anyone know what a good REAL 10+ port 2.0 high speed hub costs? Brand name? Model number would be great, too! Wink

Was hashing great downstream 'receiving and dispatching work to GC3355 but would get hung up with the comeback downstream work...didn't do work, nothing. Just keep receiving and going DDDDUHHHHHHHHH!
So I lowered the port speed on all comm ports to 38400...and lowered the clock speed from 850 to 800 for now until I am sure I've solved the port issues.

So far Winblows 7 is holding up otherwise.
Forget about solving comm port issues on XP machines. Never ending battle, I fear. Fret not, Win7 has no comm port issues, assignment wise. Sees device, assigns comm port automatically, no hassles.

While I was hashing away at 850 for around 6 hours before the UARTs bottle necked and said "WHAT?" I was doing up to 496KH/s! All 5 total hashed at 1950+KH/s at times per pool stats. Ran at around 85* F. Whole smash running at no more than 25 to 30 Watts total for all 5 pods. Nice! And that's with only 2 fans cooling all 5 pods.
They're made to run much warmer - full time - so, 30+ Watts ain't nuttin! Saves around 10.65 Watts of energy which translates into more coin for my little machines to pay themselves off in a few months!

Let me know how you do. I'm sure others will be equally curious if not as adventurous or,, brave Wink
Peace!
