I can access web interface I did upgrade and downgrade firmware but nothing works. miner configuration page doesn't show hash rate and vid.

What does it show?

it shows pool settings on miner configuration page and on system page other then miner type shows everything. Miner status page never load.

it doesn't show miner frequency and vid on miner configuration page. Just shows url worker and password. Frequency and vid empty

my 2 a4+ not working. all boards lights on and fans always working full speed. I can access web interface I did upgrade and downgrade firmware but nothing works. miner configuration page doesn't show hash rate and vid. Try to telnet but I am not good on that always says read only file. Try chmod doesn't work ( or I am doing wrong)

For anyone curious, you can turn these A4+'s into A6s. The control board has enough ports for 8 hashboards and 4 fans. I changed over 30 A4s so I only have to monitor 15 ASICs now. Way better. The inno support guy gave me an older firmware that supports it, the latest only ran 6 boards total. He said there should be a new firmware today or tomorrow that supports all 8 again.

Thanks, update_180129 appears to have no issues running all 8 chains.


Just made the exact same change to 10 miners today. Appears to work just great! Along with halving the work upkeeping them, the best benefit (IMHO) is having spare controller boards now. Smiley
I use separate PSUs for each tube, and this has no negative impact either.

FYI, I did the 0129 upgrade on 10 A4+ today and it seemed to all go smoothly.  I did notice that one of my boxes was running 471 hash rate so I took a look and found that the ASC2 card was missing from the miner status/minerinfo section.  I made sure all the cables, power and data ribbon were all secured and the LED shows the board is getting power.  I upgraded the firmware (0129) twice again to no avail.  So I'm wondering what I should try next.  I cannot say with certainy if this was caused by the firmware...I have a feeling not because the 24 hashrate shows as 465 on the monitoring page (i didn't bother to look before i guess).

Any ideas on what to do next?


omg i got this problem too Sad

420mhz all other 620 ~

Me too. Upgraded to 180129.bin, and lost ASC 2 on its next reboot. Have tried to downgrade to 180112.bin witout luck, and the light on ASC 2 is still lit. I'm in touch with Innosilicon support and will keep you posted. Please let me know if you sort out this problem before I do.

Update: I downgraded to http://www.innosilicon.com.cn/download/update_171229.bin, and everything went back to normal. All four hashboards now hashing on full speed.

Did you get such solution from Innosilicon support or it's you idea? I also solved the problem by this way, but I'm not sure that's right idea because the same miner had the same problem before and I solved it in another way (I think it was just luck).

Hi, it's my first time on this site.

I ordered a couple of Innosilicon A4+ miners. I was having problems with getting them started, however providing them with a dynamic IP did the trick.

The issue is that I want to connect to one of my miners however as it has a dynamic IP, I do not know how. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks Guys!

Hi, you can reset IP to default by pressing IP SET button within 10-20 seconds. It's located on the left side from Internet cabble. Chains LEDs shall become OFF and then you can unpress IP SET button. You will reset IP to 192.168.1.254.  To avoid such problems, you have to set static IP from web interface of miner or you can fix IP in your router with MAC address of the miner.
BTW, some routers could provide you with statistic which IP address are leased you you can try to try each one to find miners without IP reset.

Hey fellow A4+ owners - i'm getting my tail kicked a bit
we're running a handful of these and they are only working on some pools.
we're updating everything to the 112 Bin file, the later one seemed to cause more problems than it helped

We're seeking mainly LTC, but litecoinpool will not connect with these - tried dozens of times
F2Pool & Antpool - only show onen board for each miner we connect

after nearly two weeks on this, the only pools withfull hash shown is Hash to coins & Multi Pool
we're pretty familiar with Asics, but dealing with this company has been a nitemare and we will never buy there again

any input would be appreciated

Hi to everybody!
Need you help with Innosilicon A4+ LTCmaster miners:
Miner Type   17
Hw Version   G19
Build Date   Sat Dec 9 02:33:32 CST 2017

After one week of working it stopped working as wollows:
All green indicators are working but it does not mine and I can not connect web interface, just see the following:

I rebooted manu times, but no luck. What can I do? May be there is a possibility to upgrade a firmware through telnet?


P.S. One of miners lost one chain, but it was returned back after few reboots, firmware upgrade and clicking "Auto Search" button on "Voltage" block of "Miner General Configuration" tab.

P.S.S. sometimes miners shows huge Running time (above 14 or 17 thousands days!!!) it fixes by rebooting.

Thank you for any help.



You are running old FW and sounds like the issue with few people (incl. me) have had.

Try:
Code:
1) telnet to miner IP at port 8100
2) login: root
3) password: innot1t2
4) rm -rf /lib/python3.4/__pycache__/*.pyc
5) reboot
Hopefully you have working miner after this point, then go ahead and upgrade your firmware via web interface.
Link to the latest FW (as of 04.02.2018): http://www.innosilicon.com.cn/download/update_180129.bin

Thank you.
I done above mentioned actions, but no result - web interface still not responding and I can not update firmware. And after those actions pool shows this miner as inactive. Is there any other way to update firmware through telnet?


I found that mining process was not executing:
Code:
ps|grep innominer
  840 root       0:00 syslogd -f /etc/syslog.conf -O /tmp/log/innominer.log -s 1024 -b 5
 4269 root       0:00 grep innominer

after that I executed it manually:
Code:
./home/inno_tools/run.sh

and mining process was started, but I still can not access web interface to upgrade FW.

I belive I can upgrade is by loading FW .bin file to miner and running /home/inno_tools/upgrade.py, but I'm not familiar with Python and can not understand how to feed upgrade.py with FW .bin file Sad((

Can anybody help me?Huh

Thank you in advance.


UPD. "OK" and "ERROR" LEDs on control board are OFF.

UPD1: Solved the problem by deleting all .pyc files with command  
Code:
find / -name "*.pyc" -delete

For anyone curious, you can turn these A4+'s into A6s. The control board has enough ports for 8 hashboards and 4 fans. I changed over 30 A4s so I only have to monitor 15 ASICs now. Way better. The inno support guy gave me an older firmware that supports it, the latest only ran 6 boards total. He said there should be a new firmware today or tomorrow that supports all 8 again.

Thanks, update_180129 appears to have no issues running all 8 chains.


Just made the exact same change to 10 miners today. Appears to work just great! Along with halving the work upkeeping them, the best benefit (IMHO) is having spare controller boards now. Smiley
I use separate PSUs for each tube, and this has no negative impact either.

FYI, I did the 0129 upgrade on 10 A4+ today and it seemed to all go smoothly.  I did notice that one of my boxes was running 471 hash rate so I took a look and found that the ASC2 card was missing from the miner status/minerinfo section.  I made sure all the cables, power and data ribbon were all secured and the LED shows the board is getting power.  I upgraded the firmware (0129) twice again to no avail.  So I'm wondering what I should try next.  I cannot say with certainy if this was caused by the firmware...I have a feeling not because the 24 hashrate shows as 465 on the monitoring page (i didn't bother to look before i guess).

Any ideas on what to do next?


omg i got this problem too Sad

420mhz all other 620 ~

Wow. Talk about bad luck. Both of your problems started with the FW upgrade, so signs point to control board issue... Have either of you tried swapping controller from one miner to another?

Also, didn't older ASIC miners use something like raspberry pi as a control unit? I for one would LOVE to ditch the innosilicon g19 board and replace it with ... pretty much anything else.

While I initially thought everything was working just great when I switched from A4+ setup to A6 arrangement, I've now realized that this current setup is not as stable as the old one. I would imagine these issues are sorted out in the future with FW upgrades but still, DAMN.

For anyone curious, you can turn these A4+'s into A6s. The control board has enough ports for 8 hashboards and 4 fans. I changed over 30 A4s so I only have to monitor 15 ASICs now. Way better. The inno support guy gave me an older firmware that supports it, the latest only ran 6 boards total. He said there should be a new firmware today or tomorrow that supports all 8 again.

Thanks, update_180129 appears to have no issues running all 8 chains.


Just made the exact same change to 10 miners today. Appears to work just great! Along with halving the work upkeeping them, the best benefit (IMHO) is having spare controller boards now. Smiley
I use separate PSUs for each tube, and this has no negative impact either.

FYI, I did the 0129 upgrade on 10 A4+ today and it seemed to all go smoothly.  I did notice that one of my boxes was running 471 hash rate so I took a look and found that the ASC2 card was missing from the miner status/minerinfo section.  I made sure all the cables, power and data ribbon were all secured and the LED shows the board is getting power.  I upgraded the firmware (0129) twice again to no avail.  So I'm wondering what I should try next.  I cannot say with certainy if this was caused by the firmware...I have a feeling not because the 24 hashrate shows as 465 on the monitoring page (i didn't bother to look before i guess).

Any ideas on what to do next?

Used a single 2400w psu to power it. Root password is the same as 22nd Dec firmware.
