Topic: [Work in progess] Burnins Avalon Chip to mining board service - page 64. (Read 624200 times)

When your order is shipped your order status will change to Complete and you will receive a mail with a tracking number, if applicable

Burnin, any word on when order #824 will ship.  I placed an order for a BitBurnerXX with zefir batch #1 chips and attached heatsink on August 6th.  I lost access to my lavabit account because of Edward Snowden and the NSA unfortunately.  It still shows my order as "Processing" in my burninmining account.  I would really like to receive a tracking number or at least hear that it has or hasn't shipped.

Thanks!

Try a canbus cable that only has as many connectors as you have boards.

I've committed it into ckolivas master git now
Though it does only add a "version" to the API stats
We don't use it for anything quite yet
However, ckolivas has been making some sweeping changes tonight so I'll post again here when we've finished with what he's doing - and thus when it's back to ideal to get current git

Edit: it shows 1.0.0 if your firmware doesn't have it

Source from ckolivas or Kano's repository?

I have new firmware for you, that will increase the effective hashrate.
But it requires the newest cg-miner build from source to function.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/0lo1t40yhkbsq25/BB_Firmware_1.0.2.hex

This one now has a  number  

And don't mix different FW-revisions in a cluster.

What is the power consumption?

Is it normal that the last miner in a row of 5 is having the red led shining nearly all the time? Only blinking going out instead like the others that go on blinking?

Its this way:

Miner 1: Green normal blinking, Yellow not blinking, Red normal blinking
Miner 2-4: Green normal blinking, Yellow normal blinking, Red normal blinking
Miner 5: Green normal blinking, Yellow normal blinking, Red constantly on and going out blinking occassionally

Is this how it should be?

By the way. Till now i didnt find a way to get above a 42.34GH/s (The amount reaching the pool. No rejected shares and >1% HW) Settings are 29ms 440MHz 1330mV for this. Running at 50°C (Less when its night and its cooler.)

OK, yep got the email from Mr Firmware
I'll try adding it so that it reports 0.0.0 if it is missing or whatever it is if it is there.
(I can also try with some of the older firmware I have to make sure it works)

The current firmware doesn't report the fw-version.

A completely aside comment ... just in case you didn't spot the obvious
Until the problem is sorted, you can of course mine with 4 independent BTBs with 4 USB cables

The later firmware is supposed to report a version number, I'll track down that to find out how I can check for it in cgminer so to be able to check exactly what the version number is.
I don't know the control transfer codes to read it.
Burnin, if you happen to know, could you post/PM me the info.

Tried cgminer 3.2, no change :/

Tried just 2 boards / 3 , no combination seems to work....

Tried the horizontal CAN-BUS ports, no change...


put my multimeter up to the jumpers, it showed no resistance over the jumpers in the direction of the photo example on the website (front to back), however, in the other direction (left to right), resistance was there .... moved the jumpers into that configuration, and no change......



This *looks* ok .... stumped....

I would take photos, but they look exactly like the the website + other photos here,

Tried my spare can-bus cable .... no change ....

yellow light only flashing on one board that i have the USB plugged into

reflashed 4 devices, using

https://www.dropbox.com/s/q22eb8f85ybtxzm/BitBurner_08.05b.hex

triple checked the jumpers - using the jumper supplied in the box, they are aligned in the same fashion as the pics on your news section, two jumpers on the first board, two jumpers on the last board in the chain

plugged the CAN cable by using the top 4 plugs in the chain, tried others also.

only one board seems to be doing work, the one that the usb is plugged into only, switching the usb cable around doesnt change anything else either, only the board thats plugged in does the work

using settings:






Cant understand why this isnt working, version of cgminer perhaps?!

recompiled cgminer from github, no errors anywhere, on a different server, same issue, only one bitburner is doing work.

Does that mean there is a fee due?  What does it take to get them from the customs office?

I was able to install that java package but when i run that command in cgminer dir and cgminer is running "bash: java: unknown command" for all commands you wrote.

Anyway. I know the formula now. I calculated that 450MHz should be 28.2ms timeout. Im not sure if its perfect because when i tested it at the day i got 10% rejected shares. One ms less zero rejected shares. But now, at the evening i cant replicate that anymore. The d param works now and no rejected shares. I dont know why.
My pool doesnt count rejected shares and i wouldnt want my pool paying out rejected shares to others when i know how i can prevent rejected shares.

Based on this i started another test. I sat the mhz to 450 and didnt bother with HW. Only WU was of interest for me. Even with >50% HW the WU calculates all shares. Every test i ran for 15minutes after that my htc ringed to read the values. After that time the values have relatively good settled. So i tested and found that the optimum voltage is 1228mV with 670WU. Unfortunately when it became later and the temperature went down outside the bitburner cooled down too. Which leaded to the effect that the temperature went from 50°C to 46°C and at the same time 1228mV only was 630WU anymore. Instead the optimum voltage was at 1224 now. 4mV less because 4°C less. So 4mV does have such a big impact. I tend to believe a settings per °C is needed because one cant change it back and forth when you host it at a datacentre.

*sigh* And i hoped to find an ideal setting...

At least its interesting to know that the voltage always has a sweet spot at a working temperature. Going 100mV above or below has a big impact. Even one mV can have a not small effect. I cant explain why.

They are at the customs office.

Burnin, my chips have been awaiting you at your post office.  Tracking says "Addressee requests own pick-up - Item being held, addressee being notified"

See my PM for the tracking number.

That shouldn't make a difference.
When CAN is working the yellow LED on both boards should flash when running cgminer.
Could you triple check those jumpers?

Have you read the instructions?

ah! i didnt click "run application", im assuming thats the issue here

going back to reflash....

Hmm, i upgraded using this hex file on all bitburners: (as per the link on your website)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/q22eb8f85ybtxzm/BitBurner_08.05b.hex

Got this as the output on all of them
