Press i to enter insert mode then you can change things.
Then Esc-wq! to write the changes.

How are you guys editing the file? On Linux I usually use nano but I'm sure that doesn't exist on the A9. I'd like to just change the fan speeds, sick of these high temps.

Thanks!

What is the default voltage? I'm wondering if 170 is undervolting the cards.

...oh 166, wonder if that's right.

if you look in the miner logs during bootup sequence you can see it sets pll to 1250 and voltage to 166

Has anyone gotten the privileged API access working? I've changed the cgminer.conf to allow it (i.e., "W:0/0"), but the privileged RPC keeps coming back denied. I'm wondering if they compiled a custom version that turned that completely off except for local (i.e., 127.0.0.1) access.
It looks like the framework inside is completely built on RPC privileged access through RPCs to cgminer. But they implemented using bootstrap jss and php. And the formatting of the jss files are NO white space. For a generic, user-friendly interaction, someone what jss and bootstrap knowledge may need to get involved.

Says here: http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/minerapi.aspx that on Innosilicon devices it's disabled, but there's a work around. I haven't looked at it.

I've been running at 1400 and 170. Seems stable and temps are at 50C with fan at 30%. Can't say hash rates are much improved yet. Only been running for about 30 minutes so far.

I had seen that write-up. I tried modifying the .conf file with no success, but as soon as I changed the command line parameters in the systemd script, awesome miner now has privileged API access!  Sometimes it takes re-reading something 15 times before it sinks in....

Thanks for the pointer again. I think this will allow external access outside of ssh now. Should make things A LOT easier.

..and power draw has dropped from 620W to 600W. I guess running fans faster and keeping things cooler...

I tried a few speeds, I saw no noticeable change in hash rate.  The only change i can see so far are chip temps, which is a substantial optimization of >-20C degree drop

My reported hashrates vary ALOT every few minutes, +/-30ksols. Sometimes, Im hashing at 35K.  Other times I could be hashing at 60K.  Anyone seeing the same thing?

Currently running 1425/170.  I think my statements previously saying the miner would reset to defaults was actually because I had a typo in my config file.  I think setting PLL higher would work without voltage mod, but right now I spent 2hrs downtime messing around and need to "get back to work" as they say....


Fan at 30% is great!  Not too loud and ASICs are running at 55C in an 81F room temp after 7mins.

Testing this on one of our A9's with PLL at 1400 and VID at 175 looks like it is doing about 2-3k more sols than before at times (still jumping around a bit) but time will tell how much better it is, imo it seems slightly better, but if you put that into perspective if you have a lot of these it can make a big difference! So far seems pretty stable!

any numbers in increased hashrate you can provide?    suprnova seems to vary widely with zencash for me in terms of hash rate reporting...

I'm not seeing a significant increase in hash rate.  I'm mining ZEC on flypool so I'll watch that for a while to get a better idea if there is an increase.

I'd be careful adjusting voltages if it's anything similar to overclocking gpus. Perhaps just start with clockspeeds.

Attempting to set PLL to 1350 w/o setting voltages seems to make miner go back to default settings

1400/175 seems to be working ok so far.

Can someone give me a quick rundown on how to do access the ssh on the a9?
I've got putty on windows. Logged into it using miner io input root and blacksheepwall and then what do I do from there?

I can see: less Rejectes and HW errors with fan spinning faster than auto set, as well as temp went down to 50C.

firmware 6/30 (beta probably)

So I tried the following config:

Code:
    "api-listen": true,
    "api-port": "4028",
    "api-allow": "R:0/0,W:127.0.0.1",
    "noauto": true,
    "T1Pll": 1300,
    "T2Pll": 1300,
    "T3Pll": 1300

and the miner log still showed it didnt go past 1250 PLL:
Jul 22 18:25:56 InnoMiner mcompat_lib[1316]: chain 2 set PLL Lv.355 success
Jul 22 18:25:57 InnoMiner mcompat_lib[1316]: chain 0 pll 1250 finished

Try this:

Code:
    "noauto": true,
    "T1Pll1": "1300",
    "T1Pll2": "1300",
    "T1Pll3": "1300",
    "T1VID1": "170",
    "T1VID2": "170",
    "T1VID3": "170",
    "A1Fanspd": "50",
    "A1Fanmode": "0"

Fan is running at a constant 50% and the PLL seems to be at 1300.

Confirmed PLL 1300 working...using fan speed 30 right now...will monitor to see if fan adjusts
