Topic: [Instruction]Detailed manual for Dragon 1T Miner (Read 6136 times)

Hello to @,

sorry that i reopen this blog   :-)

i just play around with sutch old miner and it NOT run.
On my Web Interface i have only: Headline: T Series Concole with 2 Buttons Home + Setup
on Setup i fill my adress Datas and so on.
On Home it seems like all Run, but in my Account Online adress i see no Static !!!

The miners get worm and seem to run, but NO accepted.

I try to get an newer Version of SD card, but "all" Links are brocken.

Does anybody know what goes wrong on my machine or has somebody an "good" SD Image for the Dragon T1 ?

best regards and thanks

@Easy2Mine:

Have you tried to use this image https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9151622
for tweaking and undervolt/underclock the 1TH Dragon instead messing around with the SW source code of the Dragon ?
It has been used by the factory for testing/tweaking purposes.

can i ask for lastest firmware for Scrypt Miner

Drsgon-32M Scrypt Miner

Reading is an art.
Learn to read first.

Despite your lovely bedside manners, have you tried the cgminer thread? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.15440

Doing a search there for A1 shows that ckolivas and kano have not done any work on the Innosilicon A1 driver and its all proprietary stuff, and they have never been approached by the manufacturers either for permission or help with building drivers.

Good luck with your decompiling efforts I hope you manage to make a better version for the Dragons.

Download the image I have post a few post back at this thread.
If you have more than 1 Dragon, flash 1 Dragon with my image and then reboot at the same time a Dragon with factory image and see wich one already finished copying and start to mine and the other is still copying the original files back to their directory.
LKETC made a lot hidden files and hidden directories to protect their logo, it replace every time you reboot the original files.
I have to learn linux to replace their password and find out where all the hidden files are located.

I can now replace every hidden files with my own.
This thread is about overclocking, but you can also underclock the Dragon using this thread.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/dragon-miner-overclocking-552946

The reason that you have to repeat these steps is, the OP didn't know where the hidden files are located at the time of posting.
After every reboot, the Dragon start with the config in the hidden folder.
I replace the config in the hidden files with a file what I have learn in this thread.
I am pretty sure CK can reverse engineer all the shit from Innosilicon if LKETC didn't spend so much effort in hide and seek.
CK don't have time for that.
With every version of CGminer, CK do a terrific good job in improving his master work.

All I want to know is, how much improvement there will be with the latest version of CGMiner on the Dragons compare with version 3.9.0
Since you don't know nothing about compiling and decompiling and can't point me to the right direction, I have to use Google again.

Because I did ave something to add they won't even let Con have access to their modifications to hi source code, and that's illegal in most countries.

Plus with the stats I see from the dragons the reject rate and hw errors are pretty low for an ASIC, other than underclocking (which you said you can already do) I don't see how you will make them more efficient with a new version of cgminer.

I already made a new Dragon image that boots faster and react faster and replace their logo with mine own logo.
I already made a new image with lower hashrate, but with better power consumption.
After 2 months, dragons are not power efficient anymore using the factory settings.
I am asking the community about stuff how to compile and how to decompile cgminer.
Don't worry, I can learn things fast, I have to, otherwise I can't earn more Btc out of the Dragons.

Since you have nothing to add, why bother?

They are never going to let you do that.

I have never compile binary code in my life before.
Can someone point me in the right direction and what software is used.

The Dragons use CGMiner 3.9.0
I want to compile newer version of CGMiner to work with Dragons.
What kind of program is used to decompile the binary code?
And what kind of program is used to compile binary code?

I already know how the different versions of the Dragon image works and where the hidden files and hidden folders are.
I have not seen the Dragons mining and sending encrypted packages back to a Chinese IP address.
It is not possible to overclock the Dragons, because they are already overcloked to the maximum using lesser chip quantity.
However it is possible to underclock the Dragons to be more power efficient.

I want to use a newer version of CGMiner to see if it hash better than version 3.9.0
I will upload an image with underclocked config and if I can learn how to compile newer version of CGMiner to work with Dragons I will also upload
this.

Thank you for your time

In order for the Dragon to communicate on your network it has to be set to the same ranges as your existing network.

However in order to connect to it initially you have to set the computer you are using to configure the Dragon to the same network as the Dragon.

Once you are connected to the DRagon, you need to set the network settings in the Dragon to a unique IP address (make a note of it) in the same range as your existing network, same subnet and same gateway.

Then save the settings, configure your computer back to the settings it had before you started and then you should be able to connect to the new IP address that you set on the dragon.

HELP PLEASE - HELP - How do i get a Dragon miners running on Virgin Superhub ??

Hi All

The Dragon miners state it needs a network of 19.168.0.1

So i set the miners address to 192.168.0.90 on my network (192.168.1.1)

It detected it fine when i put the IP address in heut would not connect to a pool/show speed......

I then changed subnet or gateway which was 255.255.255.254 to 255.255.255.255 and now i can not detect it at all

Although it detects it in Angry IP Scanner


Anyone help ?



Cheers

This is an image of the latest firmware of the Dragon miner with Chinese, English and Russian languages.
The IP is 192.168.1.101
The username of the password protected page is admin and the password is empty, you can change that when you login to the Raspberry.
SSH login into the Raspberry with pi as username and raspberry as password.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/14a66jqudfjkulw/Dragon_192_168_1_101.7z

I have change all the LKETC logo with my own logo.

Also is the ip address the same - 192.168.1.134 ?

ALSO, little info guys i purchased one of the 8G Kingston card and the image will not fit on it !!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=321445958468

The image is 7.4Gb but the card is only 7.26Gb.

BUT in properties the image is 7,948,206 and card is 7,801,405.

Anyone recommend a card that WILL fit this image ?

Cheers

It is for newbie,most of guys here can handle everything without this.

Yes,it is PCb board ,please update me if you make it work when you get them.

Very helpfull topic, we need more guys like you to share manuals and other instructions. There should be sticky guides organised for every manual.

You 'tracked PCb package'? What do you mean by this?

Yes,it can work.
I tracked PCb package,ups took it away yesterday,it late one day,please note it.because on Monday lketc delivery guy absence,ups didn't find it.

Thanks

Can you also CONFIRM that when i swap the ip address of miner to 192.168.0.XXX that it will work on a Virgin Super hub that is is 192.168.0.1.

Thanks
