Well shit I did not realize that the wifi was disabled...... turns out I did not brick it.
Two questions.
1) Why can't I ssh into the controller after I updated the software?
2) Why can't I add worker names for the backup pools?
3) Goes with 1) I want to ssh to add wifi support back as the tp-link that I have has been modded with more flash memory and has more space for files.
Other than the above issues, great work sandor111! Seriously the software is tits and will probably be the solution that I choose for controlling these guys. I've tried alot of the different solutions and so far this one has been the easiest setup after my "bricking" non bricking mistake I made, the setup was simple as pie. For some reason only cpuminer is giving me the hashrate that I would expect from how many units I have. Bfgminer one or two units will hang up + the hashrate is about 1MH lower than anticipated, Cgminer same, the local hashrate is what I expect but poolside its half of expected. Your solution is wonderful, I just would love to see separate worker names for my pools as my username is different for different pools.
SSH is disabled because the firmware is still proprietary and protected, however the cpuminer sources are on github and can be found here: https://github.com/siklon/usb-miner/tree/master/software/cpuminer
I will add worker names for backup pools in the next release.
I'm sorry but you'll have to wait until Jack feels comfortable giving me the green light to open up SSH.
I understand, just wish there was a way for me to enable wifi since I have enough memory on my TP-link to do so. Will the auto freq would with volt modded units or is it only for stock ones. Whats the ETA on the next update with separate worker names. After that I will have every feature I need. Very good job too, I will donate soon for the work you put in.
I get what you're at, LightningAsic firmware will be fully open source pretty soon, someone just needs to convince Jack besides me.
Anyway, yes auto overclocking will work with any unit, in fact, some units are happily hashing at 925MHz with no hardware mods whatsoever.
No ETA on the next update, I will release it whenever I'm motivated enough to put enough work into it to call it a release.
Another thing I'd like to bring up and make sure that people understand, it's directed at everyone using the auto overclocking feature, or isn't... HW errors! as long as the hashrate isn't lower than it's supposed to be, why should you care when the units occasionally like to throw HW errors? Some people get erratic about it and think that it might cause the chip to deteriorate long term (not true AFAIK), but the only thing that matters when mining is your pool's hashrate (which is why I opted to display that, instead of the 'real' hashrate) and it's what you will be earning. My point is, that it will never be mining at a frequency that will make you profit less.
