they can be flakey at times. the waiting time matters and the better  micro sd card helps

Did you follow the instructions exactly?


The only thing I did differently besides using a higher quality SD card this time, was removing the SD card before powering the SP20 down for 15 seconds.

I waited for 15 minutes (to be sure) with no luck. The budu dancing didn't work either. 

I have the same version

FW Version
    2.6.14
CGMiner Version
    cgminer4.8.0

What could be the issue?

How should I set the pool in the SP20 configuration tab?

yes, I have the following

FW Version
    2.6.14
CGMiner Version
    cgminer4.8.0

How do I need to set the pool to enable #xnsub  ? thanks

I'm trying to restore my SP20E's firmware using the SD recovery method. How long is the process supposed to take? I'm supposed to wait until the green and yellow LEDs stop flashing back and forth right?

Edit: Never mind, got it fixed. Flashing indicates that the operation is complete.

Try pressing start miner. If not works then power cycle them.


Strange but i just found my sp20 not connected and waiting for pool. Power cycle fix my issue.

My miner does not get to the point of requesting an IP address from the dhcp server on my network, I do have a reservation for each miner.  Nothing shows up on the log where I can clearly see the DHCP Discovery packets of other miners when they boot. Nothing about this miner appears on myminer.io. The controller board is simply dead.

Thank you for your help dough.

Anyone else has tried to use the serial port on the controller? I have a cisco serial cable  that I can cut to change the RJ45 plug for an RJ12 one but I’m unclear of the wiring to make it work.

I just need access to the bootrom (if it is still working) to work from there. No one else has tried this?

Cheers.

Yes, I have in the webapp a DHCP list of clients connected on the router (cable or WI-FI). I am software engineer, I'm pretty sure I tried every method to acces the miner.
From my electronics skills and after read the beaglebone black schematic the result is obviously: the ethernet controller is running (EM2803 make the ethernet leds to flash) and the processor or other devices (ram, emmc or power regulators) is faulty.

It sounds like TP-Link routers allow you to see the IP address it assigns to devices without the need of an IP scanner application; unlike my Apple Airport Extreme Base Station.  This sounds like you definitely need to Skype with support.  If they cannot even connect to it through Skype, they will make arrangements for refund, repair, etc...

I have 4 sp20. One is burned; magic smoke an smell is out from controller board. One with network leds blinking but I can't access and 2 full functional.
I have a tp-link router; all miner use DHCP; the router do not assign an IP address to 3rd miner, only 3 IP, 2 to the functional miners and one for my laptop!

Does myminer.io show the rig and it's IP on "Your Miners" page?

If it does show an IP but you are unable to connect, you have a similar issue to what I had.

Download LanScan [or similar application] to scan for IP addresses on your network.

Once you do, you will find out the IP address myminer.io has given you does not even exist.  However, you should see a new IP address on the device [At least in LanScan].  Enter that IP address in the browser address bar of your browser.  If that isn't it, try another IP Address you see in the LanScan application or similar application until you find it.  If you do not find it, do as Spondoolies said.

I use MacBook Pro's [not PC] at my house.  LanScan, is an application I downloaded from the Apple App Store.  If you have a Mac, I suggest you download that application.  It is quite nice and it was free.  They have a LanScan Pro that cost money but I did not get it.  I didn't even need the Pro version to fix my issue.

You may have had your SP20E for a while and it is only now that this has happened.  It is still possible for this to happen if you did not go static IP or you did not assign each rig an IP address [manually] while in DHCP like I did.  If you have a power outage and the power comes back on [while using DHCP] it is quite possible your router assigned a new address to that one rig but myminer.io still says it was the previous IP.

My issue with IP addresses came up both times [when I first set up my 15 SP20E's and after a power outage when I did not have an IP manually assigned to each rig yet before the power outage].  

Sometimes, after a power outage, I have to go to "Pools" and click "Submit" [Even though all my pool info is entered in].  Because the home page of the miner would say CG Miner was not working or "NA."  Once I clicked "Submit" on the pools page [sometimes I clicked 2 or 3 times] the rig would begin mining and CG Miner would be "Running" on the homepage.

I hope this helps!

If it did, Happy Mining!

If not, do as Spondoolies Support suggested with Skype.

Hi,
I have the same problem. I tried the sd recovery and sd-boot methods. The machine with problem is inaccessible from network; my router didn't give the miner an IP address.
And the spondoolies support email tell me :

please try contact support Skype. They need a way to access the machine.

Open port forwarding to the unit or install chrome remote desktop.
Make sure you can power cycle the unit.
Make sure you have proper HTTP access to the unit. If you don't - find out the unit IP with IP scanner.
Download putty to your Desktop in case you use windows.


WHY?!  The OS on the miner is not starting obviously

Hi everyone.

I been having problems with a sp20e that is giving me headaches.

When I turn on the unit, the G and Y Leds stay off, the NIC Leds do report an ethernet link but the fan goes to full throttle and stays like that.

I already tried the sd_recovery/sd-boot methods without any luck. I tested the PSU with other SP20 and it works fine.

The unit was working just fine, but I found it like that one morning.

Should I try something else before I open a ticket with spondoolies?

Cheers

Pt0x

you need cgminer 4.8 see below.  what is your firmware version?

What firmware level are you on? Did you update to 2.6.14?

I have used this config and It doesnt seem to work in westhash.

Also, my miner has this config:

CGMINER Version : NA

what does that mean?

I cant enable extranonce.subscribe

Internet must have went down. Odd because it appeared to be up. Restarted modem and router. All good now.

Hmmm...Came home to find both sp20's cycling and not connecting to pools.

What's the best procedure to fix? I restarted both but still not connecting.

I belive the reason bitmain are touted to have is the lack of fruition of another competitor's release of a new chip in the (previously anticipated) near future, thus the difficulty increases that had been factored into the BTC futures (had they gone into production), have now been pushed back. A result of this SHOULD be a filip in the value of BTC (which it seems to have had a bit of today) and consequently bring the BTC price of the S5 back / nearer to its earlier listing. If this does not materialise, then I am sure bitmain will be issuing S5 coupons (never got any for the last round!) to mitigate. Nevertheless, that price rise was / is ridiculous!

EDIT: Just realised, bitmain's logic and reasons are a bit flawed! If the lack of competition coming to market is the major reason for the hike, then BTC value has to rise to at least US $364 per coin (I have it around $289 now) .... not impossible and there's definitely a filip in BTC value today, but that has to be in the next few days  ...!
