Try the v1 bin image.

Thnx, working now!

ps: Did you consider implementing some kind of autotuning feature? Would be nice if the software would be able to automatically adjust the frequency per miner to get the highest shares / lowest hw errors.

By the way, new features coming up: auto frequency tuning, revamped mining algorithm (+30kh/s/miner), detecting the IPs of running LightningAsic controllers...

After 12 hours of mining @ Ghash.io, and that's on crappy internet...

Trying to upgrade v2 controller with LAG3355_upgrade_v2.bin, but I'm getting this error:

Code:

Copied phpbxJW4u to /tmp/upgrade.bin

Starting sysupgrade...

Sysupgrade: cat: write error: Broken pipe cat: write error: Broken pipe cat: write error: Broken pipe cat: write error: Broken pipe Invalid image type. Image check 'platform_check_image' failed.

Firmware update success!

System will reboot now...

Try the v1 bin image.

For some reason I seem to be getting more HW errors with this firmware version compared to cgminer on RPi.

That's nothing to worry about, I would actually ignore HW errors unless they affect your hashing rate.

Upgrading works now!

https://www.dropbox.com/s/cetsoqgn2t5ail3/LAG3355_12-RC10c.bin

Have upgraded to V10c and I like it esp the miner log screen

Problem is with my VARDIFF pool coinshift.com the LA connects to it gets work and hashes at difficulty 256 for a few minutes but once the difficulty jumps it jumps to 3200 and stays there Sad

With CGMiner my diffs change up and down proportional to shares/sec. Is this a case of another pool that the LA doesn't like?

It changes to whatever diff the stratum pool is at, this was done to reduce the reject rate on a number of pools, primarily Ghash.io, because when the stratum tells you to change the diff but doesn't assign a new job, it's causing a flood of rejects. We're trying to keep the reject rate as low as possible, even when that means that some pools may not work properly as a result of that, there are many pools you can choose from.

OK, thank you. I'm looking forward to the improvements you are making in future

I shall try some different pools.

is there a way to repurpose these controllers and use them as routers? I just tried to SSH / telnet into these suckers, and the connection closes both times once its connected to them..

Are you getting a lot of stale shares? What freq and pool are you using?

I am using 22 and 25 for each TP-link on version B at 850. They run great for a few hours and then start spewing 30% stale shares on wafflepool.

im using 850 and i have 0.2% rejects, so i guess im cool

im not doing multi pools, im not a fan of them, people dont realise they are bull sh*t, its better to stick to a coin.

Yeah, I'm trying liteguardian right now and controller seems to place nice with it.

Ok I just did an upgrade without first installing the "V2 bin"

I simply clicked on update firmware and chose "LAG3355_12-RC10c.bin" and clicked "upload"

That worked like a treat....... Roll Eyes

Good for you.

Doesn't work for me sadly. :/ I get the "Failed to unpack" no matter which way I try it.

V3c firmware seems to have fixed my issue with 2 and 3 reporting 0.

I updated to V3 from V1 yesterday with no problems. Its a little glitchy, so I tried to update to V3b and that wouldn't work because I assume the site was down.

Today (5-4-14) I am trying to upgrade to V3c and all I get is "Failed To Unpack Software"

I have tried fresh downloads of V2 bin, cleared browser cache, using chrome, reset controller etc etc....No Joy.

Is it because the site is down still? Huh

No it is up... upgrading works (but some get Unpack error).

I updated to the first version of v3 and haven't been able to apply any of the updates since.

I just tried upgrade v1 and upgrade v2 and the rc10c. All of them give me the "failed to unpack".

I just tried upgrading from v1 and v2 and it works perfectly fine, so not sure why it does that.

I am already on v3. But I want to upgrade to rc10c. I keep getting failed to unpack with all three bins provided in main post.

Yep, exactly the same here.

Well I have no clue why it works for some, but not for you guys, I'm sorry. Huh

Feel free to send them my way if you want me to flash the V3c.
