Title: Avalon #2 damaged
Post by: el_rlee on June 04, 2013, 12:14:44 PM
Hello Everyone,

 my long looked for Avalon arrived in my home when I was (still am) thousands of kilometers away on business trip.
As time is money I told my wife to switch it on. I configured it via the Internet trough my VPN. So far so good.

It was not running totally stable, so I searched for help and found the controller PCB version 1.5 F1 issue. Described to my wife how to cut the fuse and told her to open the housing and do it.
As the miner was open my wife lost confidence because "it's so small" - I said okay, let it run like this, so just restart it a few times per day. Unfortunately there was a screw falling in when she closed the case - and a flash when she was switching on power again. Long story short - my beloved miner is damaged even before I ever saw it.
After my wife hired somebody to change the power supply I can access the box - here is the debug output of cgminer:

Code:

Especially worrying for me is the line

Code:
 [2013-06-04 12:15:28] AVA0: FPGA controller messed up, 1 wrong results

Can I re-program the FPGA myself? Whats the procedure?

Many thanks in advance!

This is a harmless warning that happens at regular intervals where the system will reset itself. If your avalon is mining, don't worry.

.... Long story short - my beloved miner is damaged even before I ever saw it. .....
My condolences ... this is bad  :'(
I hope you can get a replacement board anytime soon.
Be nice to your wife (:-*), I'm sure she feels terrible!

All the best!

I didn't get angry with my wife, no worries.

Thanks for the swift answers, but it isn't mining  :'(
The pool stats show 5000MH/s for the first 5 minutes or so and then 0...

From your log. it's an old frimware(cgminer 2.11), you better update to latest firmware(20130519):
  https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon#How_to_reflash

Your log too short. try to log more after upgrade and can you take a picture on your fpga controller board?

Indeed, wifes are known for fudging Avalon's. You may need to replace the wife with a newer model as soon as possible.

(I am kidding!)

Wow, guys, I have to say Im impressed w/ your mature & heartfelt responses reguarding his wife. Totally not what someone would expect from a community of 'hackers & geeks & nteen year olds' =P
Way to go =)
I gotta be honest, I would get pretty upset, try not to let it out on the wife as much as possible, but I would none the less get upset at the situation =(

Hello Everyone,

 my long looked for Avalon arrived in my home when I was (still am) thousands of kilometers away on business trip.
As time is money I told my wife to switch it on. I configured it via the Internet trough my VPN. So far so good.

It was not running totally stable, so I searched for help and found the controller PCB version 1.5 F1 issue. Described to my wife how to cut the fuse and told her to open the housing and do it.
As the miner was open my wife lost confidence because "it's so small" - I said okay, let it run like this, so just restart it a few times per day. Unfortunately there was a screw falling in when she closed the case - and a flash when she was switching on power again. Long story short - my beloved miner is damaged even before I ever saw it.
After my wife hired somebody to change the power supply I can access the box - here is the debug output of cgminer:

Code:
 [2013-06-04 12:15:28] AVA0: FPGA controller messed up, 1 wrong results

Can I re-program the FPGA myself? Whats the procedure?

Many thanks in advance!


Did the screw fall on the control PCB? I feel for you, but if Yifu can't get you a new control board you will still get a very healthy profit from selling the individual modules.

cant you just connect them to some computer with usb, and mine with it using cgminer?

The code for all devices is built into the binaries I have uploaded except for Avalon on windows (but why on earth would anyone want to do that?).

Hello All,

 thanks for being helpful. As the message length here is limited here is the full output of cgminer after flashing to the newest version:

http://pastebin.com/tj59xv6k

I would still appreciate a lot if somebody could give me a hint on how to re-program the FPGA - https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon#Update_FPGA_controller_firmware doesn't really tell a lot, also not the readme from http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/xiangfu/avalon/fpga-controller/

Do I have to understand it like this:

* download and compile http://xc3sprog.sourceforge.net/
* download and compile https://github.com/Wolfgang-Spraul/fpgatools/tree/master/mini-jtag
* download what exactly from https://github.com/xiangfu/mini-slx9-board/tree/master/firmware ?
* download xc6slx16-2-ftg256.bscan_s6_spi_isf_ext.bi from http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/xiangfu/avalon/fpga-controller/
* Run mini-jtag load bscan_spi/bits/xc6slx16-2-ftg256.bscan_s6_spi_isf_ext.bit && sleep 1 && ./xc3sprog -c qi -v -I fpga-controller-firmware.bit

Can I do all of this in OpenWRT?

By the way

Wow, guys, I have to say Im impressed w/ your mature & heartfelt responses reguarding his wife. Totally not what someone would expect from a community of 'hackers & geeks & nteen year olds' =P
Way to go =)
I gotta be honest, I would get pretty upset, try not to let it out on the wife as much as possible, but I would none the less get upset at the situation =(

First part: Yes, really - Bitcoin and the community seam to be mature!
Second: I told her to open the housing, she didn't like to - how should I get upset then?

Thanks!

Dude,

I suggest when you get back home to unsolder F1 to avoid USb chip overvoltage (control unit v 1.5) and to install usb hub in between (WR703 and FPGA controller).

I do not know how long will you be away from your avalon but if you can afford to leave it offline until you are there and fix the problem that would be best option. Otherwise USB chip can melt
And finally last time when i asked my girlfriend to help me out with wires when i was away it turned out to be complete mess :)

so leave the lady alone :)

Best
PS: if you do have more than one avalon you can install one hashing module in each of the working units and change PSU accordingly + cgminer opts.....

Is the fuse F1 a semiconductor fuse or just a glass tube with a wire inside? Either way, wouldn't it be sufficient to just cut it with a side cut or so?

I'm an expat - so we are talking about a really scarce good here... I wouldn't mind however if somebody could have a look at the log I've posted and tell me what might be the problem.
Or somebody point me to how to reprogram the FPGA.

Without an available bitstream for the Avalon, that will be impossible.  The .bit file available is just a test file which blinks the LEDs on the front of the unit.

I am delighted to hear that. Is it likely that an FPGA looses it's programming? I guess not, ha?
Is there a compatible popular development environment / standard / board where some instructions exist on the net?

This. If you can't get it working, I can program your FPGA flash for you.

Thanks a bunch! Where are you located?

The programming isn't stored on the FPGA, it's stored on a separate piece (flash memory) that's connected to the FPGA. Everytime the FPGA "boots" up it loads its programming from the flash memory. I'm in the US.


*Edit* Actually xiangfu recommended upgrading your TP-Link firmware. That is an easy process that you can do from the Luci web GUI. Did you already try that?

Without an available bitstream for the Avalon, that will be impossible.  The .bit file available is just a test file which blinks the LEDs on the front of the unit.

The real bitstream is available at https://github.com/BitSyncom/avalon-ref/tree/master/FPGA

Thanks mrb.  Hadn't seen that.  I was keeping an eye on http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/xiangfu/avalon/fpga-controller/  for the bitstream.  :)

I am delighted to hear that. Is it likely that an FPGA looses it's programming? I guess not, ha?
Is there a compatible popular development environment / standard / board where some instructions exist on the net?

This. If you can't get it working, I can program your FPGA flash for you.

Thanks a bunch! Where are you located?

The programming isn't stored on the FPGA, it's stored on a separate piece (flash memory) that's connected to the FPGA. Everytime the FPGA "boots" up it loads its programming from the flash memory. I'm in the US.


*Edit* Actually xiangfu recommended upgrading your TP-Link firmware. That is an easy process that you can do from the Luci web GUI. Did you already try that?


Yes. Log on pastebin. Didn't change much as far as I can tell.

If you end up needing a Control Unit replacement, I can sell you a clone (based off of Avalon published specs). I will have several of these ready and working in about two weeks. You can try one first, if it doesn't work for you, simply return it. If it works and you want to keep it, just send me back a few Bitcoins. PM me if and when you need it.

Will you have these preflashed with the fpga bitstream?

Yes, of course. Otherwise, how can it work?

The Miner is working again! I am soooo glad.  ;D ;D ;D ;D
They guy my wife hired to change the power supply did a sloppy job, one of the yellow wires was pushed back into it's connector.
6.5 hours pure flight time to solve the problem in 10 minutes. What do we learn from this? You want it done -> do it yourself.

Thanks all!

Or marry a geek. :-*

By the way, Congratulations!!
