For those of you it seems they now have an official forum, http://forums.hashfast.com/forum/software/firmware-updates/34-firmware-0-4

Also Seems the update was released about 3 days ago.

I created a user there, but apparently users can't post / reply / do anything there (?)

New signups need approval before they can post -- approval which we are aiming to do within 24 hours.

I can't imagine why. Cough, cough.

Let's keep the discussion and thread here, folks. HF will edit out the disgruntled customers and problems it can't fix over at its own forum. This will create false impressions suggesting there are fewer problems than there are in reality.

Any way to install the new firmware if you are running windows and have no interest in getting the Raspberry Pi back out?

Firmware 0.4 has been released. It is backwards compatible, but should work best with cgminer 4.0.1. (And vice versa.)

Does the RPi auto update to it if we have auto updates checked? I noticed my RPi reboot and firmware is showing as blank now. Is it safe to assume it updated to 0.4 or is there a way to tell somehow with some terminal command?

An RPi image that both auto updates itself and the firmware is planned, but not yet ready. But people have waited long enough for this firmware update.

Again the image linked to in the forum post is *only* an updater; there is no MinePeon or web interface supported. Do NOT overwrite your HashFast / minepeon SD card; (unless you back it up first!).

First thanks Amy for the update. So there is currently no easy way to run the new firmware with the new cgminer version with the minepeon right (because I can't update the cgminer version on the minepeon)? Do you know when you update for the minepeon is ready?

After 2 hours of running new firmware, I can already tell it is helping a lot.
Prior to the firmware update: 562mhz showed 360GH/s on pool and 10% error rate
After firmware update: 562mhz shows 375GH/s on pool and 0.3% error rate

I will try to push the core clock up tomorrow and see how it handles it. Before the update I could not go higher then 562mhz without it becoming unstable.

Looking forward to hearing how it goes.

Most boards run poorly at certain frequencies, which can vary from board to board. So if you go up by 1 or 2 MHz at a time, you might run into a poorly performing clock speed far lower than the optimal speed.

That and some frequencies just don't work; you will ask for 610 for example and you will get back 609. Cgminer will show you what you actually got.

Should I be worried about all these

Code:

Notice: Hash Core Error: Squelching die 0 core 21

errors, or are those normal HW errors? Starts to happen when I bump it up to 562mhz. I didn't notice any at 550mhz

That's the new firmware disabling cores that are misbehaving. Some of these are fine. If you are getting lots, then you might find the hashrate is actually equally good, if not better, with more stability and less power usage at lower clock speeds. I certainly found that.

Code:

HFA: Failed to receive OP_NAME response

over and over. Any ideas how to fix? (cgminer version 4.0.1)

cgminer 4.0.1 basically needs new firmware flashed as 0.2 won't work with it.

A fix for this is now in git, allowing you to use the most current cgminer with older firmware.

Yeah I just tried cgminer4.0.1 on my ubuntu machine, looks like it didn't update (same OP_NAME error). I am kind of feeling like a dumbass right now.

Edit: ok so it was very easy. On my ubuntu machine, download first link (http://setup.hashfast.com/files/hashfast-20140224-0-multiarch.tar.gz)
extract
in terminal, go to that folder you extracted to
run

Code:

sudo ./field_firmware_update.py

Note: it doesn't work without sudo. got errors. Works now! However, cgminer 4.0.1 is showing it hashing at 990GH/s at 550mhz (wtf?) Pool end so far (only 5 minutes into it) shows 380gh/s.

The above are for Ubuntu 32/64 and Raspberry Pi (ArchLinux) only.

For users on Windows or otherwise less familiar with Linux, the HashFast firmware update version 0.4 is also available via a one-click upgrade through our custom Raspberry Pi image. This image is *only* an updater; there is no MinePeon or web interface supported.

*DO NOT* write this image over the HashFast MinePeon SD card that came with your system (unless you back it up first). Use a different SD card instead.

I don't think that it updated. It still shows the older cgminer version.
