OK, where's the debugging info?
Right! "Built with avalon mining support." on the screen.
with -D --verbose, every displayed line should be debugging info, but I'm not sure why it didn't detect your device...OK, where's the debugging info?
Right! "Built with avalon mining support." on the screen.
Edit: please run as root user, with su or sudo
@loshia
I see. Want to post the debugging info/report but don't know where to find it..
PM me a teamwier to your Windows box near by your avalon:) I see. Want to post the debugging info/report but don't know where to find it..

Yes, latest openwrt image has been upgraded.
Did you mean I need to connect Avalon to PC via the WR703N board not from the controller board?

I think it does not matter if you will use PC or WR703N.
What about debug cgminer output as suggested can you post this

Fuck ...Did you upgrade to latest openwrt image?
Please check if your cigminer starts with -S/dev/ttyUSB0
There are two things left - Power cabels from PDu to each Avalon to be faulty, or interface cables to be faulty...
The easiest is to upgrade image first...then manually start cgminer with appropriate ttyUSB
And finaly check all boards one by one.
1. Leave only one AVALON ASIC board powered and start cgminer with
http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Avalon
115200:8:10:45:282.
Check both three of them one buy one. There might be faulty board (or cables/power) doing this you will know which one has problems

Yes, the USB hub has been changed by a workable one. And been connected to PC, but when running ./cgminer it come out: "All devices disabled, canot mine!"

Check Usb Cables
inspect dmesg Wr703 and see all masages about USB and FTTDI
ls -la /dev/ttyU* should tell you if you can see the usb
Remove jumper p5 and just plug USB cable from avalon to any windows just to save time you should see found new USB device bla bla if you see it it will work in Linux if not something is wrong
Again change all usb cables first

I'm working on the option1:
1. Remove jumper, use linux i386 pc compile https://github.com/BitSyncom/cgminer avalon branch and go
Thanks!

what would be the purpose of 3G?
Automated internet connectivity backup dude:)
Shit always happens
well now that would be cool. i have 4G service
3G is enough
belie me but with 4G you will able to use torrents on top

the 703N is a modded ver, we moved a 0R resistor from one place to another to let the 703N could get power form its USB-A port. (sorry, i don't have a 703n on hand right now)
why there is a ugly USB HUB there? because some compatibility problems come out if you connect the 703N to the controller board directly. the FT232 chip sucks. add a HUB can 99.999% solve this problem.
about P5 jumper: close this jumper will supply 5V to the USB-B port. in this system, the controller board power the HUB and the HUB power the 703N.
but if you connect the controller itself to a PC, you must remove the jumper. because PC will send 5V to the USB port too.

So basically you have powered usb hub right?
Is there enough power to usb hub so that we can use other USb devices (3G for instance)?
ng: I have noticed on one of my borads that when PSu was to close to it it was disconnecting and reconnecting like crasy so FTDI seems to be very sensitive to such things otherwise 0 problems with FTDI usb + wr842Nd USB with or without hub
Probably avalon fttdi is too close to psu and that is why you need to use the hub?
great question on getting 3g added. I would like to know too.
You will need a custom image for that or at least usbmodeswitch package as add on and some kernel modules also. Making it work is a pain in the ass at least for me. But i have it working. It is very important to distinguish between your ttyUSb - AVALON and ttyusb modem some symlink will help udev/hotplug rules
oooh and changing cgminer start up script also so i it will not mine over usb modem port

PS:
after review this issue, i think maybe one or two HUB ports damaged during the delivery. just change to another USB port and try please.
or just insert another USB HUB for a try.
or a RMA is waiting for you...

the unmodded 703n power input is micro usb (Not 12V), have to remove the two screws in order to get it. yeah, the first method worth trying...
is it 5V? Shit:)Ok..my mistake with the homework
I am wondering why usb hub is there just to route usb wires nicely? and why ngzhnag stated it will not work without a hub when juper is there P5
Misery 
ngzhnag? tell us about P5 please
PS: On a second thought P5 just injects +5v in usb which explains that it has to be romoved when PC is used. But it should be no different when hub is skipped and P5 is in place and usb cable is connected directly in wr703. I just can not get it
Same problem after update to latest firmware and added with a workable USB hub. Cgminer Status read "Sick" after running less than few second.
Fan1 read "0"
Temp2 read "-1"
Strange?
fan1 is alway 0 (no connect, add a 4pin PWM fan to trigger), fan2 / fan3 should >= 2000 (yeah, a little noisy).Fan1 read "0"
Temp2 read "-1"
Strange?
temp2 is always -1 (no connect, unknown sensor type if want a replacement), temp1 is income air temp (or machine temp?), temp3 is module temp (should be 40+ after working for a while)
it would be strange if fan2 & fan3 are 0, MHS 5s from devs is 0.0, it may require hard power off for several sec & wait the back light to be off, then power on again.
as nghzang clearly stated it will not work when you skip the usb hub doing your way
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1600301
There are two options left
1. Remove jumper, use linux i386 pc compile https://github.com/BitSyncom/cgminer avalon branch and go
2. Do not do it unless nghzang or someone else confirms. Ethernet board wr703N has modded power supply via usb. I guess it is still able to be powered via 12V from PSU. If answer is yes, again find a way route wires 12V from psu to Ethernet board, so it is not powered via usb. Remove jumper and plug usb cable from controler directly to Wr703 Ethernet board. Basically same thing but instead of PC you will use Wr703. My first try will be to use PC then Wr703 (to exclude possible problem with WR703 USb port)
BIG FAT NOTE DO NOT DO ALL DESCRIBED IN STEP 2 UNLESS CONFIRMED OR DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK, BECAUSE WR703 IS MODDED AND DETAILS ARE UNCLEAR FOR THE MOMENT

cypherdoc: no, this does not change anything. In fact 240V halves the amperage, so using even thinner gauge cables is possible.
I would add, to use the thickest gauge 3-prong you have if a choice is given. I have seen some really thin ones and I would rather not read about a fire due to a broken sheath. I have some server grade ones waiting for my units.
This should never be a problem. You can use any of the vast majority (99%+) of cables with a C13 connector on the market, shipped with computer equipment, as they are at least 18AWG, which is rated 8A (derated). This is 960W at 120V which is sufficient for the Avalon which consumes only 620W (825W with 4 modules).
i plan on installing a 30A 240V dedicated outlet to run 3 Avalons, 4 modules each. does that change anything you've recommended?

so the end of the power cord that plugs into the wall is a standard 3 prong as in this pic?:
Yes, or any other cord, for example I have C13 to C14 cables that plug directly from our equipment in the back of the UPSIn the shipment I got, there was a matching power cable for my area (Europe) so I guess they must have done the same for US shipments (included a power cable with a NEMA 5–15 USA 3 pin plug).
Originally Jeff got a Chinese power cord:
Should be no problem, I'm sure we all have plenty of matching power cables laying around. I have boxes of weird cables that arrived here with various shipments and I also have enough equipment to cannibalise cables from.
Run into any hardware store and you can pick one up for $USD 2.5
yes
can someone post a picture of what the power plug connector looks like?
It's a simple ATX power supply so it has a C14 inlet
You can use any power cable of your own that has a C13 plug

it will not work if there is no hub between the 703N and controller board.
Well, unfortunately it didn't just work. My Avalon#1 running maybe few seconds after every reboot then always stop working. I'll continue working on the problem next day. Thanks for all the help from you guys.
If you log into the web interface, what does the Status -> Overview -> Status
System
Firmware Version
say?
OpenWrt Barrier Breaker r35097 / LuCI Trunk (trunk+svn9610)
is working fine.
no clue on how to relate that to the release names at
http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/xiangfu/avalon/
though...
edit: OK if you download the file http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/xiangfu/avalon/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-factory-20130225.bin
you'll find in the header the referrence
Code:
OpenWrt
r35097
so that is the version shipping out on the current working Avalon
Well, unfortunately it didn't just work. My Avalon#1 running maybe few seconds after every reboot then always stop working. I'll continue working on the problem next day. Thanks for all the help from you guys.
upgrade your firmware to 20130225 version. http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/xiangfu/avalon/Update: you still have to use the hub as ngzhang says. huh

USB hub has a red light.
WR703N has a blue light.
WR703N is powered by USB hub via a USB cable.
If WR703N is connected well with USB hub, you could see that blue light.
@techwtf
No blue light from the front side or from the ethernet board inside the case. The USB hub inside the case showed red light.
you may pick the 703n out of the box & use micro usb to power the 703n. alternately you can use a longer USB A-to-B type cable to get rid of the usb hub. No blue light from the front side or from the ethernet board inside the case. The USB hub inside the case showed red light.
OK... I connected Avalon to my laptop's ethernet port then switch the power on, but the light of ethernet port was dark. So I switch off the power for now. Was there something I missed out?
Connect using an ethernet switch.1) Connect laptop to ethernet switch
2) Connect Avalon to same ethernet switch
@techwtf
No blue light from the front side or from the ethernet board inside the case. The USB hub inside the case showed red light.
Are USb cables OK?No blue light from the front side or from the ethernet board inside the case. The USB hub inside the case showed red light.
check if J5 is in please also
From FAQ
Connect to PC
Notice if you want to plug the USB to a computer instead of 703N (Ethernet board), you must remove the Jumper on the controller board. the jumper's label is P5, next to the USB port.
So the jumper must be there not removed
As an alternative you can remove Jumper P5 and plug the usb cable which connected the usb hub in your PC. You should see (windows) new hardware found USb bla bla
doing this you will know that the problem is inside the white USB switch or Ethernet board itself But you have to remove the jumper when doing PC test

No blue light from the front side or from the ethernet board inside the case. The USB hub inside the case showed red light.

OK... I connected Avalon to my laptop's ethernet port then switch the power on, but the light of ethernet port was dark. So I switch off the power for now. Was there something I missed out?

Cable probably? It may be damaged one. Other stuff as long as Wr703 is powered via usb there were reports of not connected (loose) cable because of transportation. Remove the cover of the unit and make sure all cables are in place especially USBIs it OK? crossover or straight. Other way to go is to use network switch switch or LAN of the soho router
