TXSteve ... do a latest git pull and run the update web gui script. Let me know how advanced page looks now and if it works for ya =)

ok, I'll do it now
hey it won't load bfgminer after the gitpull, or using latest img then git pull -- ran web gui update

am I missing something??

Ooops sorry! Forgot to add a renamed file to git, try another pull ... then go to advanced tab and test out switching versions around.

ok

I can get 5.2 to load but not 5.1

do I need to reboot? or just restart bfgminer? btw I tried both ways

Doh! Sorry bout that didnt realize the stock bfgminer binary wasnt getting uploaded either, ok now try another pull then test =)

Thanks for info but how can I add your github to repository , maybe I dont saw earlier posts?
sorry for that but I'm begginer
If you want the link of the img to flash its here:
https://github.com/GenTarkin/Titan/releases/download/v.93/titanSDshrink.img

I will be releasing a new img soon w/ lots more features.


this one I have but u make few modification
how can I include newest files to my Rpi?
just copy ?

Well, I'm getting answers all over the place. Sad  This is bonus, so no LCD.  Yes, get GUI and can ssh.  With or without cubes, same response.  I hope its not the controller board.  That may prove hard to replace.

The difference is I advocate correctly isolating the problem before throwing money at it if possible.

Based on your response I'd put the BBB last on the list of suspects.

It sounds like you already did all this but lets review.
Unplug everything and start with the simplest possible, just the controller.
Add one cube retest, try a different cube same ribbon cable.
Only change one thing at a time and see if anything works.

Test with the last known locally working version of firmware.
I'd completely unplug the whole controller from everything and let it sit unpowered for a many minutes. I had one I thought I killed. I replaced it with a spare Hoopiter controller. After few reflashes the original came back to life.
This may have been because I had everything unplugged in between flashes and whatever caused the 'lock up' cleared.
(some residual capacitance somewhere in the PCB design that affects the FPGA or the power chip on controller)
The reflashing I did may not have been necessary, the process may just have provided the long enough power down for it to clear.
My priority was getting it back in service so I never properly isolated root cause.

Another thing you can test for.
Take a single cube, unplug the cube power but connect the ribbon.
Turn on the controller and see if the temp on the ASIC shows up on the web page.
The temp chip on the cube is powered by the controller over the ribbon.
If this works the controller is prolly OK, as it tests controller power chip and FPGA operation.
This might/could point to a wierd 12VDC issue on a cube interfering with controller communication.

If/when you think throwing money at it is a good idea...
You might find a used Merc, Sat, or Jup controller with a BBB for what a new BBB would cost.
Those old knc specific BBB lack some connectors and might not be valued as highly seperately FWIW.

YMMV

Hello,
I need a bit of help for my Titan
Can someone make a diagnosis and tell me if my cubes are burned or my controller is burned ?
When i am running only the controller, the screen works and everything seems ok but
When i am connecting one cube the screen is not working any more, no green flash light , and less green lights on the controller
check the two pictures , without cube and with cube connected




Any idea ?  Huh
thank you in advance

Those two pictures have two different sd cards in them. Is that the only things you are messing around with before taking pictures?

The pictures don't help much though i'm afraid you give very little information on what it is you have done to the boards/cubes/anything and  sd and when they ran and in what configuration they were last working.

My advice is to strip the miner down again and start again making sure EVERYTHING is plugged in properly. try different power cords to the board and cube also from a different psu. Make sure you change one thing at a time so you know what it is you have if at all done wrong.

Hi GenTarkin,
I want to test your newest soft
but like I understand I have to copy new files to Rpi?
or you make the new repository incuding all news?
please explain because maybe I don't understand
cheers

You have to use my latest release and flash that to a new SD card and reconfigure your miner settings, if you want you can do git pull when u log in via ssh to update it to my latest changes which are OFFICIALLY not released yet into an img.

TXSteve,  I just laid some ground work for a box in webgui to select BFGminer versions.

that would be easier

I saw some file changes ..webgui-update-branded and unbranded ?? or is that something else?

I took a guess and ran branded lol

Yeah, branded adds my donation addy =) unbranded takes it off, its supposed to be for the difference between people who just download my image vs the ones that are being sold ha

Hey, TXSteve ....
How is my latest firmware changes working for ya?
I think its working well on my single titan, its done some soft / hard resets once or 2x ... my code handled it as intended .. I think =)

Whats ur experience been?

Im gonna make an updated official release soon if all keeps going well.

I think it's ok too, still waiting for word on the 5.1/5.2 issue on the bfgminer thread

haven't had much in the way of hard resets yet to confirm, temp control is solid !!

Luke-Jr saying to use the git bisect command, you know anything about that?  Looks like it checks revisions to find where a bug is introduced

Nope, I dont =/

yeah it is beyond me too, would it be too much trouble to get a 5.1 version? that way I'll at least have temp control on that rig and then use 5.2 on the others
 I suppose many don't use load balance, but probably going to be a problem if anyone else tries it with 5.2

btw I did have a successful hard reset today, seems to be working

Very cool, Im glad the soft / hard reset is finally working as intended.... thus far.... fingers crossed ... LOL

If ur just using 5.1 for one rig, couldnt u just git clone 5.1 to that pi and compile it for yourself? Thats what I assumed u did anyways to run the comparisons no?...

I wish I was that advanced, lol   I just used the knc 2.0 image and tried your v.85 img too

let me think about that, I'm trying to wrap my brain around this git stuff

actually starting to make some sense, thx for the tip



Oh, I see what you mean, the stock bfgminer is what you want?
Wasnt something broken in it.... isnt that why everyone wanted the latest? lol I dont know anymore.
Basically if you wanted that version again, u would need to go to the bfgminer_stock directory and just copy bfgminer from that folder to bfgminer folder then restart bfgminer. All of this is in /home/pi. Make a backup of the newest one first if you wanted to, by moving it to a diff filename. IE: mv bfgminer/bfgminer bfgminer/bfgminer_new_bak

I used  cp -r /backup/bfgminer/* bfgminer ....  lol so easy, you wouldn't believe how complicated I was making that

thanks so much for another tip

when I do a git pull will it upgrade to 5.2 again?
Yeah, it will probably complain about local changes and needing to stash them, not sure tho =/ ... or it will just reupdate the file haha!

I could possibly write a webgui box & submit that allows a pulldown of which miner to use and restart the miner w/ selected version. But thats more than I have time to code atm, if you really want it Im sure I could do that sometime this week. More donations would get me coding it for sure haha =P

well, this is what I found out.
If I start with your v.9 img, then restore 5.1, then do a git pull it'll grab your updates and leave 5.1 intact.
If I start with v.93, then restore 5.1,  5.1 overwrites some of your stuff and git pull doesn't get it back
maybe it has to do with an index or something where git keeps track of what's been updated, and if you change it git doesn't know -- but I am just speculating
let me think about that box, I am still not done messing around here
