Title: Canaan OS for Avalon 821
Post by: valkir on October 30, 2020, 08:56:44 PM
Hey all.

Winter is coming and I'm trying to start some old gear to heat up the place. I am going a bit crazy with the os since I can't figure out how to make it work. Should be easy but maybe I'm too tired.

I am downloading the os here: https://download.canaan-creative.com/avalon821/openwrt/20191114/

Using the raspi 1 img. And then flash it on my pi and that's where I have an issue. If I understand well, the static IP of the Canaan OS is 192.168.0.100 but whatever I do I can't see it. I've used angryIP and can't see it.

Any idea what I could do. Why the hell does Canaan set a static IP.

Have you set your pc to the same subnet (eg., put ip 192.168.0.101 and mask 255.255.255.0 for your pc) ?

Also, would my old guide be any help? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2937129

And do you have the right Pi image? There are different images for the different flavors of Pi.

Thanks guys! Was a problem with IP management. I managed to do it with one friend.

Now working to underclock it for the house.  ;D

Make sure you are running the most recent version of the software and miner MM firmware then select Low Power mode and in the More Options box use --api-listen --avalon8-fan 10-30

Instant quiet space heater.
