In testing:
Direct upgrade from STOCK KNC firmware 2.00 to my firmware!!!! ... so far, in practice its been working =)
Will post .bin v.98 build to github later on.
No more need to flash .img files =)

This will keep all ur current settings as well =)

Is the webGUI running on an http server? Can it render PHP files? If so, I can make a quick API in PHP and that would open up the firmware to be controlled through a mobile app.

So, had another idea ... Im contemplating how hard it would be to install my mods using KNC's upgrade firmware method. I think I would be able to pull it off , that way people can just upgrade from stock to my custom firmware right from the webgui and keep all their settings..
They would flash the tarball available from my git page using knc's "upgrade" option in SYSTEM tab.
Whats ur guys take on that?

Nevermind, that would be harder than I thought, for now at least.

Not sure but in my past days of Hacking Navigation System FW it was easy to simply change a file indicating the revision number with one of a higher value and it would accept the flash even if everything was the same I had bricked a few NAV units and needed to find a way to re-flash them this might not be the same case here

Yeah, its totally different on KNC, basically their upgrade firmware button just checks for the existance of runme.sh in the tarball then it executes it. Im testing this out right now, the trick is creating the tar in the format the upgrade script wants. I think I got it tho, I just wrote my own "MakeUpgradeBuild" script that should put my working tree in the proper format =)

Guys we are looking for someone that can help with graphics. We want to remove the KNCminer logo as we do not want to be associated with them in any way. If any of you have graphic skills can you make a nice logo that has the same dark blue color as the Kncminer logo, except it will just say "Titan Miner". This will be used in the Titan Gui. Make it nice and fancy as you can. Be original, and please submit your work here on this thread. Also we need some help with our new OP. Can someone create a nice looking op with our current information compiled and post the code here, so we can create a new professional looking OP?

Thank you
Vegas

You are welcome

Thanks for your vote guys on the lighttpd access logging. If I get around to coding it into the webgui it will be under the "SYSTEM" page most likely, makes most sense.
TXSteve, all it logs are page access's to the webgui, it may log access attempts & fails to the webgui as well. If your concerned bout that then I would leave it on.

Basically, why I turned my off is cuz I like like leaving the webgui up w/ the status page open. The status page refreshes w/ new data every 5 seconds. Well, when that refresh happens it writes the access to the log file. Every seconds a decent amount of data is written, averaging 2.5KB/s to the SD card, over time that will wear it out. For the people who dont leave the webgui open at all, this problem shouldnt really exist.

My problem was described at May the 9th here it is

...
I'm getting crazy because I am trying to upgrade, but after I upload the 2.0 and reboot, it start rebooting but then freeze in the screen at kncminer spinux. And don't move. So I flashed back to 1.02 and it works. When I try to upgrade in whatever version (even the 1.15) it freezes.

Please help me finding the clue of it. It makes me crasy!

Some things you can try:

Try a different flash disc
Start with ONLY 1 cube and see if it boots

Let me know from there.

I agree an option to turn on off and maybe ability to access from the web interface would be nice

It seems like an ideal thing to have a check box for (and a 'view log' button maybe).

Most of the time you'd want it off but if tweaking or new firmware or issues tick the box to see whats happening

So, today I was monitoring writes being made to the SD card while the rig is running, and it had a consistent average of 2.5KB/s being written. I set out to find out what was doing this, turns out its lighttpd's access log piling up into a gigantic log when ur actually just sitting at the webgui idle.
Ive turned the access log off to conserve the SD card. Would this be a mod anyone want me to put into next release at all? Or do yall prefer the logging to be on?
Let me know.

What's the log used for? for KNC when it's rma'd? what info in it?

I read on one of the threads this:

I have removed the aluminum plate, so now I can see the Ericsson VRM's..... this is bad: they are the BMR4641002 (max 40A) instead of the BMR4641008 (max 50A). :mad: ...... no OC possible !

The 1002 has a OverCurrentProtection of 48A and looking to my Advanced-page: nearly all the VRMs are already around 46-47A (and this is KnC's default setting).
They should have used the 1008 instead, which has 50A and an OCP of 62A.

So my question is how difficult would it be to replace the VRM on the board with BMR4641008 (max 50A)? Is this something that can be done with a soldering iron , or does it require a special machine like a reball machine? Is it JUST the top chip or the entire board underneath that VRM chip too?

Vegas

Vegas where can I find (buy) BMR4641008/203 ?

Possibly because the KnCMiner Titan is a piece of hardware designed for mining altcoins? As it is, this thread should probably be split, but this mix of company/bitcoin/scrypt hardware is what happens when companies retain a single all-encompassing thread.

Yeahp, so its hard to really advertise in this section I guess, but then again many that have Titans, browse this section... so w/e LOL!
