Title: Avalon 741 - Help Setup
Post by: overcon on December 05, 2017, 02:18:55 AM
So this company might make nicer hardware, but their instructions and setup are sub-par at best.

I just got my first 741 and controller (apparently a Raspberry Pie). Trying to get it up and running but so far no luck. Did some digging around this forum but my setup is not looking like the ones posted. The Raspberry pie didn't come with a power module so I used one from another Pie I had, which powers the unit. I am able to login to the 192.168.0.100 site, which apparently has no password, but that is it. From there it looks nothing like screenshots I have seen posted on the help forum.

I am beginning to think cgminer is not installed for this unit, but I can't be sure as I have never seen a working unit.

When I hit Advanced Version I see nothing but system statistics.

Here is the Dashboard:

Appreciate the help. Little frustrated this is so, undocumented, brand new.

Um, a. Read the Getting Started link on Canaan.io home page.
b. click Configuration to setup user and pools...

That is the Avalon simplified but pretty main page you are on. For raw cgminer with OpenWRT interface click on Advanced.

i tried the configuration page, I also set the pools. Nothing. it will not save anything.

Well all I can say is repost in Official Avalon A7 thread in Hardware (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1673843.0) where all the Avalon A7 owners hang out and close/lock this thread... Someone there probably has seen this but can't say I have.

FYI, Canaan's Directer of Global Sales hangs out there and monitors it...
