To elaborate a bit on how the auto overclocking works, if the chip has hashed for over 600s it will attempt to change the frequency. If there is more than 1 HW error or if the current hashrate is less than the previous hashrate (after that 600s period), it will decrease the frequency, otherwise increase it. It will stop adjusting if the frequency has been decreased atleast once, so make sure to pick a low enough frequency to start with. The frequency adjusts in steps of 25MHz, I have found this to give the most stable results while overclocking, and it also makes sense if you look at how the frequency is calculated from the PLL variables.
I get the same "failed to unpack" problem with RC10d as I did with RC10c.
There has to be a sollution for this, other than mailing it to either of you guys and loosing out on days or weeks of mining.
Those of us experiencing this problem, were we supplied flawed controllers from AsiaBTC?
What exactly is it you guys fix if we were to send the controller to you? Can it really not be fixed in any other way?
This is starting to become a big problem with new versions looking better. This needs to be adressed.

If you are good at soldering, you can attempt it yourself: http://forums.openpilot.org/blog/52/entry-92-unbrick-wr703n-wifi-router/
Reflash your controller through the serial console to the v1 bin image, then using the web interface upload the rc10 bin image.
I'm offering to repair free of charge, all you need to do is send them to me and pay the shipping.
thanks a lot

New updated firmware available (v3d).
With this update, it is possible to run some of your miners at 925MHz without hardware errors.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6c5xbwiud9fbrz7/iWVpZNkIMm/LAG3355_12-RC10d.bin
Changes:
As always, a cold reboot might be necessary after updating.

Changes:
- Added Auto Overclocking: automatically finds the best frequency for each individual chip, and adjust it accordingly. The number after the '@' sign indicates the chip_id
- Fixed a bug with delayed work dispatching, this should further decrease reject rate
- Disabled FIFO
As always, a cold reboot might be necessary after updating.
good works.
hope LIGHTNINGASIC can help to improve mining investment ROI.

Jack,
Is there a way to get replacement controllers? I updated to the first version of the V3 firmware and after that, it won't allow me to update the firmware again. I get "failed to unpack firmware" errors on both of my controllers. I don't want to miss out on the improvements in later versions.
Or you could mail them to me, you pay for shipping and I will repair them for free.
good works.

Something is wrong with V3c and WIIBOX i can´t get my miners working 
Did you try a cold reboot? Make sure the miners are getting the 12V from the PSU.
good works.

Anybody use this firmware with moded(volt-mode) over-clocked (=/>1100mhz) gridseeds? Can you share your experience please?
cant wait for new firmware release, very nice things are coming 
sandor111,
Any chance you could enable API listen support? Those of us using Rig Leasing services really benefit from being able to accurately report hashrates directly from the miner instead of relying on pool based statistics!
Things are running great on my RPi so i'm definitely a low priority, but it seems like you're making great strides in the original LA hardware performance and i'm considering a switch back.
Best of luck and keep up the good work!

can you use usb 3 hub with this controller ?
Why not? Just make sure to daisy chain properly, have one root hub where the other hubs connected to.
i doubt controller can handle over 15+ miners
It's really weird, but I am finding better results the more miners I add to a single controller. I have six of these spread out between 48 miners. The best results so far are when I have 27 and 21 on two controllers. I cannot get everything on a single controller without moving between locations. My hashrate goes from 16700Kh (4 controllers all set to 850) to 18700Kh (2 controllers at 850). Also, the wiibox controllers us a lot less memory. Anyone know the specs?
The wiibox controllers have double (64MB) the RAM, so yes. It still would be interesting to see anyone attempt to hook up 100 miners on a wiibox, we haven't had the chance to push the firmware to the limit yet, since the 32MB on the 703N was holding that back.

It can handle up to 50 miners, we have tested that ourselves, and there is a screenshot of that somewhere in the LA main thread. The wiibox controller could probably handle double of that.
