It was fine with 1300mV setting, but quit working with 1350 mV.
A 450 watt psu with one 37A rail helped, no problems for more than 12 hours with hashing around 200GH/s. I really would like to know how much power is needed for 4 boards.

Title: Re: BITBURNER FURY Technical discussion Post by: shep80 on November 03, 2013, 01:49:03 PM what's your hashrate? Right around 200G (50G per board) on the BBFs. They have been very stable, running off a raspberry pi. Burnin has done a great job with all the hardware he has put together. Business dealings have been stressed but the actual hardware seems quite good.

Title: Re: BITBURNER FURY Technical discussion Post by: shep80 on November 03, 2013, 02:03:06 PM These is a lot of watt for 200 gh Yes, it is a bit high but that is the max overclocking for the boards/chips so it is expected to be inefficient compared to more moderate overclock settings.

Have you measured your consumption at default speed/voltage? If i'm not mistaken it should be 256 with 900mV, but don't take my word on that.

Have you measured your consumption at default speed/voltage? If i'm not mistaken it should be 256 with 900mV, but don't take my word on that. Just did a quick test on my 4 boards: 256 Mhz, stock mV = ~160Gh/sec @ 235w (1.4w/Gh) 278 Mhz, 1380 mV = ~200Gh/sec @ 383w (1.9w/Gh) Measured at the wall using a kil-o-watt. Power supply is Corsair AX860. I know the firmware I am using is converting those clock and voltage numbers (as it thinks it is talking to an avalon board) but the overall Gh and power numbers are accurate.

I had been running it on a raspberry pi and getting 46-48 GH/s, but my buyer wanted to know if it ran on windows (to save him ordering additional hardware).
So while I'm waiting for the courier pick-up, I've been fiddling with zadig, uninstalling drivers for unknown usb device in device manager, running zadig again etc and eventually I got it working. Bizarrely using the same settings as I had been using on the raspberry pi (getting 46-48 GH/s), got me about 48-51 GH/s when I was running on a full desktop on windows 7 and the standard cgminer 3.60 build. My settings were: cgminer-nogpu.exe -o [pool details] -u [pool username] -p [pool password] --avalon-options 115200:32:10:47:260 --bitburner-voltage 1300 This is using my bitburner fury with the firmware "as shipped", i.e. I have never updated it. Not sure why the host should make any difference to hashrate, and not sure if it's a difference caused by OS or by hardware (desktop vs raspberry pi). I just thought that this might be useful to others who have low hashrates on raspberry pi - I would have posted it in the "bitburner fury hashrate protection" thread, where most of the bitburner fury knowledge has ended up, but it has been locked.

I have one board that is only hashing at ~12Gh/s, I tried upgrading the firmware, CANBUS chaining it to another board, and a variety of cgminer versions, nothing changes. Of the 4 boards I received, 3 hash all at around 45-50Gh/s depending on my settings, with a 4th 'dumb' board only hashing at a measly ~12Gh/s (maybe faulty chips?) I emailed you twice in the past two weeks, but still no response back. I received the hashrate protection after emailing you once before (thank you for keeping your word on that), however since this board is WELL below the 40Gh/s minimum advertised, I would at least want a refund for the value of 3/4ths of the ~700 Euro I paid for the faulty board. Please help me rectify this asap. Otherwise, the boards are working well, even though I don't even know how you could even go above ~52Gh/s per board without it becoming a fire hazard and frying the chips.

You will need to install a winusb driver using "zadig" which can be downloaded from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwdi/files/zadig/ I tested this version: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwdi/files/zadig/zadig_v2.0.1.160.7z/download You run zadig and choose list all devices from the menu. Select Bitburner, then install the winusb driver. For me, this didn't completely work the first time, so I had to go into device manager, uninstall the "bitburner" driver in the USB section, and then restart, and then go to device manager, remove the "unknown device" driver from the USB section, run zadig again, and install the winusb driver. Bitburner will only show up on the list in zadig when you have the Bitburner board plugged in. Does that help?

Only the board that has the USB cable is hashing.
And what's with the power leakage??? If i touch my micro-USB cable to the micro-USB jack from the board i get mini sparkles. THAT CAN'T BE GOOD! Advice?

Where to find drivers? google zadig drivers. then options>list all devices and install When I did that, the driver seemed to install but didn't work properly in cgminer the first time (connected to the pool but wouldn't actually mine). So I had to go into device manager, uninstall the bitburner driver, reboot, install driver again in zadig (this time it wasn't recognised properly - "unknown device" or something like that), uninstall again in device manager, reboot again and then I was able to install the bitburner driver again in zadig and it worked. TL;DR - you might need to be patient and fiddle with it to get it to work. Good luck! Best scotjam Title: Re: BITBURNER FURY Technical discussion Post by: pajak666 on November 09, 2013, 02:39:02 PM When I look closer to the accepted shares / HW errors ratio I've noticed that accepted shares are calculated based on target pools difficulty, ie. A: 127 HW:1
Does that mean that in that case my hardware errors ratio is 50%. using cgminer 3.6.6 and BBF newest firmware.

I hope you understand we cannot be held responsible if something happens to a board after hashing it for weeks. One of the 4 boards I have has not been hashing for weeks because it is faulty, maxing out at 12Gh/s. I have been waiting for a response to several emails since mlate October and then you delete my posts today in this thread when I have a legitimate issue to discuss. I would rather you send me a replacement board as compensation for the lost time and hashing power, while I ship back the faulty one immediately for you to examine that its certainly faulty. The long turnaround time to ship US<->Belgium and the fact that you will attempt to 'fix' it with no estimate as to how long that will take, is somewhat disconcerting. I am just saying it how it is. At this point I would prefer a partial refund because it saves us both headaches. I can supply all the images/screenshots/videos to prove that it is underperforming below your 40Gh/s advertised minimum.

Title: Re: BITBURNER FURY Technical discussion Post by: BenTuras on November 12, 2013, 08:33:03 AM How do I check if the fuse is blown with multimeter? Your multimeter will have a few Ohms settings. Choose one and hold the two leads together. The display should show 0 ohm. Now hold the two leads to each end of the fuse, the display should show 0 again. If it doesn't, the fuse is blown and has to be replaced.

However, i noticed that the board where the USB is connected, the red led blinks much less, and is way colder than the others. Changing the USB to other board makes that other board slow down. Does anyone have a tip? I did not watch the red LED frequency with mine stacks, but what prevented them from reaching 400GHps turned out to be insufficient power. With 850W PSUs I was not able to reach more than 360 (and also had USB errors, btw.), now with a 1200W PSU everything works smooth and each board is at 50GHps on average (1080mV, 275MHz). At wall I measure around 750W draw, but there might be spikes that a PSU operated at its edge can't handle. What you can try to double check is to operate only 4 boards at a time and check they reach 200GHps (terminate CAN bus correctly + unplug ribbon cable from inactive ones). If so, you need a stronger PSU. Also, I instructed you to use an older version from cgminer for best results, which is not true anymore. Current master HEAD works fine with the latest BBF firmware (http://bitburner-fury-firmware_1.2.6_BBF.hex). Title: Re: BITBURNER FURY Technical discussion Post by: AniceInovation on November 14, 2013, 05:09:42 PM That's actually a good idea zefir, i'll even go as low as test one by one if needed.
Title: Re: BITBURNER FURY Technical discussion Post by: mgio on November 14, 2013, 05:21:00 PM what's your hashrate? Right around 200G (50G per board) on the BBFs. They have been very stable, running off a raspberry pi. Burnin has done a great job with all the hardware he has put together. Business dealings have been stressed but the actual hardware seems quite good. I knew that raising the voltage makes your consumption go up exponentially, but this seems a lot. Have you measured your consumption at default speed/voltage? If i'm not mistaken it should be 256 with 900mV, but don't take my word on that. No, that's right, I have 8 boards and it draws exactly 800 watts. Title: Re: BITBURNER FURY Technical discussion Post by: mgio on November 14, 2013, 05:33:35 PM As much as I love these boards they are a pain to keep running.
First, after some time they began to crash my raspberry pi. Like caused the pi to completely freeze up requiring it to be power cycled. I tried two different raspberry pis, two different SD cards, two different versions of raspbian, two different USB hubs and using both wifi and wired ethernet. The only thing I could think was the power adaptor was not strong enough. I bought a heftier one but I haven't gotten a chance to try it yet. For now, I gave up and switched to using a Linux PC. Having 8 boards chained together was really unstable (frequent USB write errors that would crash the whole setup), so I went with 2 sets of 4. Sometimes that would run for days without problem, but then if I ever had to restart it, I would have to spend hours, if not days restarting it repeatedly when it crashed or the hash rate permanently dropped (seems like one board would occasionally go dead?). The weird thing was if I got it running for a few hours, it would run for days or more without any problems. In other words if things were to go wrong, they would within the first hour or so, usually within the first 10 minutes. Very strange. Presently, I have a 7 port USB hub with 6 USB cables going to 6 of the boards, and the other 2 boards chained. Those two boards had their mini-usb plugs broken off. I have a 9th board with a broken usb connector too but that board is completely dead (no lights go on at all) and I have no idea why. It seemed to frequently overheat and crash a lot until one day it just died. I have a feeling static might have killed that one. It seems much more stable using usb rather than the canbus cable. I've upgraded the firmware to all the boards I could (that still have usb connectors). Also, I epoxied the remaining connectors so that they will never ever come off, but that also means they have usb cables permanently glued into them. Anyways, I have 8 boards running at 1325 mv (probably could do 1375 and be ok) and 115200:128:10:45:282 for the options settings. They are drawing about 800 watts and get an average of 381 GH/s.

Anyways, I have 8 boards running at 1325 mv (probably could do 1375 and be ok) and 115200:128:10:45:282 for the options settings. They are drawing about 800 watts and get an average of 381 GH/s. I actually managed to add epoxy to my board (before I sold it) without gluing in the cable. I left the cable in when applying epoxy (otherwise there was a risk that if the epoxy got into the connector the cable wouldn't be able to go back in), but I put tiny little bits of sellotape on the small openings in the sides and back of the connector (and where they wouldn't stay on, dipped the edges of the bits of sellotape in a drop of superglue so they would stay). Then I applied epoxy on top of the sellotape (with the USB cable still in the connector). After a couple of minutes (once the epoxy was mostly dry to the touch) I *very carefully* unplugged the connector, holding my thumb on the connector so that it wouldn't be pulled off the board as I pulled out the cable. I then plugged the cable back in, with my thumb still on the connector. I then allowed the epoxy to dry fully overnight. From then on, I was able to (still carefully!) unplug the cable without any issue. Just thought I'd post it in case it helps anyone. scotjam Title: Re: BITBURNER FURY Technical discussion Post by: cryptx on November 16, 2013, 02:01:08 PM We would like to inform you that Bitburner Fury boards are available again on www.asic-hardware.com

Title: Re: BITBURNER FURY Technical discussion Post by: warhawk187 on November 21, 2013, 07:55:08 PM As much as I love these boards they are a pain to keep running. First, after some time they began to crash my raspberry pi. Like caused the pi to completely freeze up requiring it to be power cycled. I tried two different raspberry pis, two different SD cards, two different versions of raspbian, two different USB hubs and using both wifi and wired ethernet. The only thing I could think was the power adaptor was not strong enough. I bought a heftier one but I haven't gotten a chance to try it yet. For now, I gave up and switched to using a Linux PC. Having 8 boards chained together was really unstable (frequent USB write errors that would crash the whole setup), so I went with 2 sets of 4. Sometimes that would run for days without problem, but then if I ever had to restart it, I would have to spend hours, if not days restarting it repeatedly when it crashed or the hash rate permanently dropped (seems like one board would occasionally go dead?). The weird thing was if I got it running for a few hours, it would run for days or more without any problems. In other words if things were to go wrong, they would within the first hour or so, usually within the first 10 minutes. Very strange. Presently, I have a 7 port USB hub with 6 USB cables going to 6 of the boards, and the other 2 boards chained. Those two boards had their mini-usb plugs broken off. I have a 9th board with a broken usb connector too but that board is completely dead (no lights go on at all) and I have no idea why. It seemed to frequently overheat and crash a lot until one day it just died. I have a feeling static might have killed that one. It seems much more stable using usb rather than the canbus cable. I've upgraded the firmware to all the boards I could (that still have usb connectors). Also, I epoxied the remaining connectors so that they will never ever come off, but that also means they have usb cables permanently glued into them. Anyways, I have 8 boards running at 1325 mv (probably could do 1375 and be ok) and 115200:128:10:45:282 for the options settings. They are drawing about 800 watts and get an average of 381 GH/s. While moving these guys to upgrade my Saturn yesterday, I heard a crack as I unplugged one of the USB ports with little resistance (Seriously a piss poor job). Now the board doesn't hash at all, the green and yellow lights are blinking right when I CANBUS it to another board, but when I start cgminer, it doesn't blink red anymore and just cycles through yellow and green as if its communicating with the other board but now doesn't work with any of the other boards. Willing to throw some 0.25 BTC to anyone who can help me figure out how to easily fix this, and also figure out why this other bastard board only hashes at ~12-14Gh/s, consistently every time regardless of settings. I have a 1050W XFX Gold PSU so I know that can't be the issue. Cryptx hasn't responded to me still regarding the under-performing board.

Did you terminate the CANBUS correctly? This means that the boards on BOTH ends of the CAN cable need to be terminated by 2 Jumpers each? 2. How many boards are in your stack? 3. What are u using to start cgminer? Please copy&paste the whole line 4. Did you do any firmware upgrades? 5. Did you try to plug mini usb in another board (not the one that might have a defective mini usb)? Title: Re: BITBURNER FURY Technical discussion Post by: joshka on November 22, 2013, 09:40:00 AM dego one question, I have 2 boards and only have two jumpers in one, would I need two more in the other board?
Title: Re: BITBURNER FURY Technical discussion Post by: dego on November 22, 2013, 09:49:29 AM Anyways, I have 8 boards running at 1325 mv (probably could do 1375 and be ok) and 115200:128:10:45:282 for the options settings. They are drawing about 800 watts and get an average of 381 GH/s. They should make more I think. Please calculate percentage of HW errors. My 4 boards run at 198.5 Ghs currently. With the following line: --avalon-options 115200:128:10:47:280 --bitburner-voltage 1360 --avalon-cutoff 63 --avalon-fan 80 --avalon-temp 55 The produce a HW error rate of 4.84%. If you find settings below 5% they get close to 50Ghs each. Stick with a frequency of 280 and then try different Voltage settings from 1200 to 1400 in steps of 10mvolts and let em run for 100000 shares and calculate, then note Hashrate and HW Error rate. Please note also that if you are running the firmware which shows the miners as BTB, then you have to add 300mvolts to the --bitburner-voltage option (as I did above, my 1360 mvolts are 960mvolts in reality). But if you have the firmware that shows em as BBF, then the +300mvolt is not necessary (My line would be --bitburner-fury-voltage 960). So: If cgminer shows the device as BTB -> try --bitburner-voltage 1360 If cgminer shows the device as BBF -> try --bitburner-fury-voltage 960 Title: Re: BITBURNER FURY Technical discussion Post by: dego on November 22, 2013, 09:51:53 AM dego one question, I have 2 boards and only have two jumpers in one, would I need two more in the other board? Yes. If you connect 2 or more boards with a CAN-Bus cable you need 4 Jumpers in toto, 2 on the board on top and 2on the board on the bottom. Cryptx was getting that wrong and didn't send enough jumpers. But Burning stated clearly that you had to terminate BOTH ends of the bus. So you are missing two jumpers. If you have some old harddisks or Mobos around, you might find some jumpers there...

Your HW-Error rate is far too high, its above 15%. Should be down to 5% or less. (100/Accepted)*HWErrors=HW Error Rate in percent. 2. You don't have the right number of miners in your line. It is 32 per board, so you should have 64 in your command. 3. You have the Firmware which shows the miners as BBF, so the +300mvolt calculation is not necessary, and the right voltage option for that firmware is --bitburner-fury-voltage (with values form 900 - 1100). Try this line: --avalon-options 115200:64:10:47:280 --bitburner-fury-voltage 960 --avalon-cutoff 63 --avalon-fan 80 --avalon-temp 55 From asic-hardware.com: Quote The first part is the baudrate, always 115200. The next value is the number of miners, this must be the total number of chips in cluster multiplied by 2 (32 for 16 chips or one board). Then the number of chips, always 10. then of CRUCIAL IMPORTANCE the timeout value this is frequency dependent. at last the clock frequency of the asic chips (this sets the hashing speed) example timeout values / clock frequencies: 45:282 47:270 50:256 (default) Title: Re: BITBURNER FURY Technical discussion Post by: joshka on November 22, 2013, 10:09:59 AM Now better?

This one also crashes my raspberry pis! Why does this happen? Does it happen to anybody else? Maybe I shouldn't be using Raspbian?? What installations do other people use? My other 8-board stack is running off of a linux PC and it never crashes. I'd rather use raspbery pis though to save electricity. As I mentioned before, I'd tried 2 different pis, with 2 different installations, 2 different versions of raspbian, two different power supplies, two different USB hubs (both powered), both wired and wifi internet, and the pi will still (eventually) freeze up after running for a while. I have several other miners running off of raspberry pis (raspbian with cgminer) from BFL and they never crash. It's something about this special cgminer maybe or just the hardware? I don't really get it.

Title: Re: BITBURNER FURY Technical discussion Post by: dego on November 22, 2013, 10:40:20 PM I don't know what the "is not an avalon" message means but it seems to work correctly if it hashes*. Maybe you should delete your cgminer.conf file. Maybe there are old settings in there and also your current settings might be saved in there... maybe thats the reason why changing the *.bat does not work.
I see you use standard values, not overvolted or something. I had around 42 Ghs per board with exactly those values. That would be what you get now. Just play around a bit with frequency and voltage values and I am sure you can get out some Ghs more. eg, try to use these options on your your BBF ( use this line now and have 201.2 Ghs constantly): --bitburner-fury-options 115200:128:10:40:282 --bitburner-fury-voltage 1360 --avalon-cutoff 63 --avalon-fan 80 --avalon-temp 55 you could also try these: 115200:128:10:d:280 at 1060 If you do not reach 198Ghs with this, then try to change frequency and voltage in controlled steps, until you find the right settings. just try it out but leave the boards running for at least 50k shares for each try because in the beginning the boards often throw a lot of HW-Errors... *If you want to find out more here, try to check each board separately, maybe its only one board causing failures...

Title: Re: BITBURNER FURY Technical discussion Post by: warhawk187 on November 23, 2013, 04:55:41 AM While moving these guys to upgrade my Saturn yesterday, I heard a crack as I unplugged one of the USB ports with little resistance (Seriously a piss poor job). Now the board doesn't hash at all, the green and yellow lights are blinking right when I CANBUS it to another board, but when I start cgminer, it doesn't blink red anymore and just cycles through yellow and green as if its communicating with the other board but now doesn't work with any of the other boards. 1. Did you terminate the CANBUS correctly? This means that the boards on BOTH ends of the CAN cable need to be terminated by 2 Jumpers each? 2. How many boards are in your stack? 3. What are u using to start cgminer? Please copy&paste the whole line 4. Did you do any firmware upgrades? 5. Did you try to plug mini usb in another board (not the one that might have a defective mini usb)? I have a stack of 4 successfully CANBUS'ed together ~196Gh/s. Then another pair, the 'dumb' pair. One with flashed firmware to try to get it above that damn 12Gh/s and the one with the broken usb that actually managed to revive itself from the dead last night. I had switched my PSUs for my Saturn and this stack and it must not have liked the switch initially. I went from 1050W XFX to a 750W Seasonic for this stack. Last night it came back online and I have it CANBUS connected with the 12Gh/s to come out to ~61Gh/s. My settings are: "avalon-cutoff" : "64", "avalon-options" : "115200:64:10:50:278", "bitburner-voltage" : "1360", "bitburner-fury-options" : "115200:32:10:50:278", "bitburner-fury-voltage" : "1060", The underperforming board is also about ~20C cooler than the others. I will try the newest firmware and see if that helps. All my other boards are running the stock firmware so hence the 64 for Avalon options. If it aint broke don't fix it has been my method with the good 4.

It's the only board lacking a Micro USB connector (broken). And its not hashing anymore (It did before). LED is blinking green and yellow, but never red. The other boards are delivering 50Ghs.
As it didn't work at all (tried restarting, power cycling, other order of connecting it to the CAN) I flashed the boards with a Pickit3. My first try with the firmware BitBurnerFury_for_bootloader.hex was not successful, the board didn't blink at all after programming it.

I know that the other three boards all have BitBurnerFury_for_bootloader.hex. What could be the problem? - That the firmware of the board without connector is different? - How can that be solved? - Is there other firmware that can be flashed with the Pickit3 than the production firmware?

I have two 8 board stacks of bitbury boards. One stack has 2 broken usb connectors so I run 6 USB cables to it and have the other two connected via CANBUS. I had this stack connected to a PC running Linux and it worked pretty well (average about 370-380 GH/s for the whole stack). That Linux PC recently died though and now I have it connected to a raspberry pi using a power 7-port hub. The raspberry pi is running rasbian and the latest cgminer build for bitburner and I got lots of errors like: [2014-01-13 16:49:12] BTB 4 usb transfer read error(-1): LIBUSB_ERROR_IO Performance is also signficantly worse, at about 325GH/s (about a 50GH/s drop). I have another stack of 8 bitburner boards connected with 5 USB cables (the rest via CANBUS). It has always performed worse than the other at about 340 GH/s.

My best guess is the fuse on them are blown, but the photos/documentation on these specific boards are not very descriptive and I do not have the proper tools and do not have enough confidence in my soldering to tackle it myself. One of the 5 hashing boards has a raised chip, but manages to hash at ~13-14Gh/s. And to add to the issues, 4 of them have broken USB ports.
Does anyone have experience working on these boards? And if so, what kind of turnaround time can you anticipate given the problems that I described. Let me know if you can help, at worst, I would be willing to sell the stack of 8 for BTC2 if you are interested.

Thanks, J Title: Re: BITBURNER FURY Technical discussion Post by: CaptEmulation on March 11, 2014, 09:46:13 PM I purchased 3 bitburner bitfury boards in an ebay auction. The seller packaged them poorly and one board was damaged in shipping (inductor and capacitor knocked off). I purchased and successfully installed new components for the busted board which for me was fun and an adventure as I have not used my electrical engineering workstation in years.
Then, like a total dumb-ass, I managed to cross power lines to one of the other previously working boards. It received reverse 12V long enough to pop the internal circuit breaker in the power supply (1-2 seconds) afterwhich I noticed the problem and corrected the wiring. Now I have this board which does not power up (no lights, no response). I am looking for a fuse or something obvious that I can replace. However, since the board is on the bottom of the stack, I have not taken the time to disassemble and more closely inspect. I ended up after the exercise with a net zero hashrate change-- as I ended up breaking while repairing a board. Can anyone provide any guidance or pointers on what I might have burnt out?

Here are some guidelines to install the firmware onto the board: If there was an install CD, you should install the drivers. You will need to install MPLAB X IPE ( http://www.microchip.com/mplabx-ide-windows-installer ). Startup MPLABX IPE (if you have version 1.9, you will need to downgrade to v1.8 as it has a bug). You can downgrade by replacing the ipe.jar (in attachment) located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microchip\MPLABX\mplab_ide\bin If downgrade is successful, start up MPLABX IPE again, select 'Settings' -> 'Advanced Mode' -> enter password 'microchip' -> 'logon' on the screen select the following options: - Family: 32-Bit MCUs - Device: PIC32MX564F128H - Tool: select available PICKIT3 tool (make sure it is inserted into the USB) Press 'Apply' Source: use the browse button to select the 'BitBurnerFury_for_production.hex' file (see attachment) SQTP / Serial: use the browse button to select 'Serials_7FFA.num' file Power up the board and place the PicKit3 on the 5 pins on the board (you see 5 pins aligned on the board, first pin is the one closest to you, the front-side of the pickKit3 (side with the text ans arrow) should be faced towards the left side of the board (the side where the CAN-BUS is located). Press 'Connect'. If connection is succesfull, press 'Program' After 'Program' is completed, the new firmware is installed and you can disconnect the PicKit and use your board for mining.

I tried to pawn off my Bitburner Fury with the broken USB port and the buyer is shipping it back. I'd love to use this thing if I could, but following the steps to use the PickIt don't seem to work. What mining software do you all use? Any tips for me? Even if I buy a second one with an unbroken USB port, I'd be happy. Unless I screwed up the firmware trying to fix this one. I used the information in this article: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=294735.msg3371051#msg3371051 If you've been successful at this kind of installation, please let me know. Otherwise, want my miner when the buyer ships it back? --Mpellet771 Title: Re: BITBURNER FURY Technical discussion Post by: CaptEmulation on May 07, 2014, 11:22:05 PM This is all AFAIK as a second hand BBF owner. I don't think there is any reason to update boards with broken USB port. To connect a board without a USB port you will need a board with a USB port, 4 jumpers and a CANBUS cable. You only need to update boards with a USB port that you want to connect to the latest cgminer versions.

So I had a bitburner fury a while back just a single board and after about a week the USB snapped off. Recently I have recieved another 2 boards in the hope of mining using the other board using a ribbon cable. I have plugged the ribbon cable intot he one with the missing usb port and the other end into one with a usb port and tried to mine but it just wont. The light on the miner stays a steady flashing green and refuses to mine. I have read that you need to update the firmware on the device to get it working but I can remember doing so before the port snapped off, If you need to do it again with the ribbon cable in what should i do? the usb port has snapped off so there is no way of upadting the board. Right now it is as useful as a flashing vegtable. thanks for any help guys!
