First try a different ethernet cable its possible it may be bad. Its not able to bring your Ethernet interface up which could mean a lot of things possibly even a bad Network jack on the PI. However I would try a different cable first.

Also try to see if you can bring it up manually.
Code:
sudo ifup eth0 


You can also use Nano to edit the interface file yourself with
Code:
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
And then add these lines below to the file, however change it to your Network IPs and DNS of your ISP.

This will statically assign your IP to eth0

Code:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static

address 192.168.1.10
gateway 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
dns-nameserver 208.67.220.220 208.67.222.222
      

Hope this helps.

Finally decided to grab the image file from the OP. All looked fine until I booted up, seems it doesnt like my network although all my rigs using usb miners run error free

also noticed that the new image removes the 'configure ip' and 'shutdown' from the web gui interface for bitfury, is this to be expected?

thoughts?

Same results with one board... here's my latest from swapping the boards.

Try running them at a lower speed than 53. Maybe start at 49 and work up from there.

I changed it to 49.  It ramped up to 60.  Stayed there for longer than normal, hovered around 45 then back down to 18 or 20.  I am really at a loss here.

I forgot to say to turn off autotune as well. Depending on your chainminer version, it may have ramped up the speed setting until the VRM overloaded.

And if miso errors are always coming from specific chips, turn those chips off.

Also, check the console output of chainminer and see if it's having any problems with the proxy (lots of queue messages).

How do I find out what the settings in the interfaces file should be?

edit /etc/networking/interfaces

You should see something like this:

Code:
address 192.168.254.17
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.254.0
boadcast 192.168.254.255
gateway 192.168.254.1

Now, to figure out what you should have for netmask, broadcast, and gateway, you can open a command prompt in Windows and type:

Code:
ipconfig /all

Look for those values (probably have to scroll up).

OK - that no route to host means your gateway is probably set incorrectly in the interfaces file.  That, or the subnet mask.  I fixed it and that solved an early problem.

think Im getting close. Looks like its my network settings. When I look at the output of one of the screens I see this

'no route to host'

And bitfury's accounts/RMA team has gone radio silent.  RMA was supposed to be processed days ago and now I can't even get a response.  Is this normal for them?

Dave has sent me several emails over the last 2 days in an effort to get my cards working. Quite happy with the level of customer service from them so far.

Hi Ben,

i have measured now. The Result, exactly 12.0 V

In the meantime i have tried a compeltely another 1200W Power Supply with it, but still the same.

Is it possible the image/linux has a problem ?

I also see this when I boot pi, but not every time

That 'bad: 32' does that mean both boards arrived doa? Huh



What results do you get with just one h-board?   (try one, and then try the other)

I've got a bitfury unit with 2 cards.  However, together they are only spitting out 25GHs rather than 50.  I've got logs, etc. if they are helpful to post, and not sure how to troubleshoot this.  When I restart the miner, it spins up to 60, but within 20 - 30 secs it's back down.

Thoughts?

You've got miso errors (which indicates bad communication to the chips).  Either a card isn't seated properly, or you've got a bad card/board.  Try 1 card at a time and see what results you get.

My good cores are at 2%, and I am down to less than 9 GH/s.   I'm wondering the same thing...

Here is my pool setup and output of sudo screens





I also see this when I boot pi, but not every time

That 'bad: 32' does that mean both boards arrived doa? Huh

I've got a bitfury unit with 2 cards.  However, together they are only spitting out 25GHs rather than 50.  I've got logs, etc. if they are helpful to post, and not sure how to troubleshoot this.  When I restart the miner, it spins up to 60, but within 20 - 30 secs it's back down.

Thoughts?
