That are still a lot of HW errors 
. It is quite possible that the two boards that have more HW errors have slightly different resistors (lower value) 'controlling' the voltage regulators. I don't know if you run these with free electricity, but if you do it is very worth it to overvolt them. I am running the board on 1400 MHz with 0.40% HW error:

Here's a pic to give you an idea of the 2 flaky boards:
Do you think I should bother lowering their speeds to try and minimize HW errors? In that screenshot, 0 & 1 are running 1300MHz, while 2 & 3 are running 1280MHz.
Here's my 90MH, for the hell of it:
All 6 blades are running at 1300MHz.
What pisses me off the most about the 2 flaky boards is that I was screwed out of an RMA from pcfli, he told me a new firmware (which never came) would fix the issue.

Well, I could use them but I don't want to be a pain. My 60MH unit has 2 blades that like to spit out a whole lot of HW errors for some reason, so I used to run them at a slower speed than the other 2 which run at 1300MHz.
If you have to remove options, would removing 1320 and up be more logical? I don't think most blades will run properly above 1300 without increasing voltage which most people likely won't be able to do.

It's not a pain. I like to provide something that is most usefull.
I am at work tonight and the raspberry pi I use for compiling is not on right now. But I'll change the code for version 3.1, and put the options between 1200 and 1280 back in. And then in the next version I will take out the indeed more logical higher 'in between' levels. (And probably try again to leave them all in as well
)Sounds good, take you time. Don't rush yourself on my account!

No they weren't broken, but when I was working on the underclock version I needed to sacrifice some options, because with to much options cgminer doesn't start at all (don't know why).
But if you need them I will put them back in for 3.1.

Here's hoping you hear from him soon!
I flashed the new Image on my 60 and 90 MH units, and for some reason they're getting a lot less hw errors. Not that I'm complaining, but what could have caused that? I was previously running version 2.0 on both.
I guess you were never able to get cgminer 4.9 working properly on the A2s? Also, did you ever figure a way of seeing the cgminer screen through ssh/putty?

I think it has to do with the updated stratum code having the miner run more smoothly.
And no I can't get cgminer 4.9 get to work. And if you stop cgminer in the browser you can start cgminer in the terminal when you are logged into the pi, that way you can see the cgminer screen:
Code:
sudo ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://eu-01.miningrigrentals.com:3333 -u emdje.3166 -p x --A1Pll1 1300 --A1Pll2 1300 --A1Pll3 1300 --A1Pll4 1300 --A1Pll5 1300 --A1Pll6 1300 --diff 4096 --api-listen --api-network --cs 8 --stmcu 0 --hwreset --no-submit-stale --lowmem
Cool, thanks. Going to give that a try later!
I noticed 3.1 is missing a few speed steps between 1200MHz and 1280MHz. Were they broken in 2.0, thus removed?

Thanks emdje, much appreciated. Sent you some beer money!
Have you got your replacement chip back on the board?
Have you got your replacement chip back on the board?
Thnx
No I have not yet heard back from the person who offered his broken board (in return for underclock options, yet to be released).
If I won't hear anything I might try to connect pins 13 and 14 and try the board then.

Sweet, thanks for the updated cgminer emdje. Are you planning on releasing a new image with the latest updates? I suck at linux command line.
Sure I can. Will do that today.
Edit: compressing image now, then uploading and posting the link

Nice, I kindly ask only for cgminer binary, not the whole image :-)
Rar file with the cgminer where the switching parameter has been set to 1 minute instead of 5, and the correct index file (made some mistakes in the previous versions with the difficulty setting and some obsolete options have been removed) Also all the stratum code of cgminer 4.9.1 has been implemented.:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/f3t9eykuv1x2b1v/cgminer3.9.0-A2-v3.1.rar?dl=0
Don't forget to mark the cgminer as an executable by using the command "chmod +x cgminer"
I remembered having a kitchen hotplate lying around, so I used that to heat the board to 90 Degrees Celsius:
Then the hot air soldering gun was enough to remove the chip (albeit a little bit to soon, should have let it heat up a tiny bit more. Now you can see a little damage to one of the grounds on the chip base, but since it is the ground, and that is very large I think it will still work if it gets a new chip)
