Incorrect. The Avalon's are highly tweakable. Ref their privileged API user manual (https://github.com/Canaan-Creative/avalon10-docs/blob/master/Privileged%20API/Previleged%20API%20USER%20MANUAL%20v0.6.pdf)

eh not really we got them to open their api a few years ago and found they are really lacking a lot of useful stuff but it's a good start.

Bull. From day-1 the Avalons have always been open with full source code available on their git. As a matter of fact, when Canaan introduced the Avalons Kano wrote their API.

Now their most recent miners starting with the A10, ja there are less things to tweak and Canaan made it a little harder to find what tweaks you can do but it is still open. Now, that's not to say that the tweaking process can't be improved, after all lots of folks just don't get using a CLI however, ain't no way in hell would I pay for a GUI-based version much less one that given your prior history would also be closed source.

Nope. There are lots of posts about tweaking the A7xx, A8xx, and A9xx but those tweaks are all about lowering their power consumption and noise so they can be used as quiet/reasonably quiet space heaters. I've never bothered to play with my A10's because they run just fine in either Normal or Performance modes.

Hi There, i try to enable the privilege mode, but it doens't work.

echo -n “privilege” | socat -t 30 stdio tcp:192.168.13.20:4028,shut-none && echo
 STATUS=E,When=44997,Code=14,Msg=Invalid command

echo -n “privilege|0,enable_privilege,0” | socat -t 30 stdio tcp:192.168.13.20:4028,shut-none && echo
 -bash: 0,enable_privilege,0”: command not found

Any idea?

Heres my miner info:
