Title: New Kncminner Jupiter, with 0GH/s after installing 0.99 firmware Post by: jbssm on November 27, 2013, 10:43:55 PM Hi guys,
I just received the Jupiter, I was setting it up and yes it worked, but since in the manual it said to install the firmware, well I did it. After that, it starts and I can configure a pool. It connects to the pool, but it doesn't hash... absolutely nothing. What's happening? Can anybody help. Thanks.

Why don't you post in the dedicated KnC thread? Why did you install 0.99 firmware if it already had 0.99-E installed(that's what i had)? Try hard reset maybe. Title: Re: New Kncminner Jupiter, with 0GH/s after installing 0.99 firmware Post by: jbssm on November 27, 2013, 10:52:26 PM I tried but no solutions yet.
And I tried to update it cause I didn't know if 0.99-E is more recent than 0.99 after all in the manual it says to update to the latest firmware so I did :/ Title: Re: New Kncminner Jupiter, with 0GH/s after installing 0.99 firmware Post by: jbssm on November 27, 2013, 11:02:50 PM I was checking the file /var/log/initc.log and I got this: It says the ASIC board was not found.

Unplug power cable and open your miner and check all cable inside. If not then just e-mail them.

Now someone at the KNC forum told me they think the new Jupiters are different and use a different firmware. Well, there is absolutely no info about that in their page, the firmware is just that one and it's completely careless for the guys from KNC to just put a firmware and a device page that makes it completely malfunction. The cables are fine. In fact everything is fine, I can even access the miner settings... it just doesn't mine.

Get 0.99-E firmware and you should be fine. Just chill.

Yeah, I also suspect that, but I tried to download it anywhere (even but tying a lot of combinations in the firmware download address like: http://www.kncminer.com/userfiles/file/kncminer-0.99e.bin and similar), and I find no way of getting this November Jupiters firmware. I'll try to contact hno at #kncminer irc channel Title: Re: New Kncminner Jupiter, with 0GH/s after installing 0.99 firmware Post by: CMMPro on November 28, 2013, 01:14:47 AM 0.99E is for the November shipment units with the Ericsson VRM's. ("E"=Ericsson)
If you installed 0.99 (not E) on one of these god knows what will happen...they have GE VRM's. Best case is that they just do not hash which is what I think is happening there. Get back to 0.99E if that is what you received the unit with. On the site it only has the 0.99.bin....this is for the older units with GE VRM's. Why are people updating firmware if the old version is running fine? I'm running 0.97 on my Saturn and it's running full speed. If it isn't broke...don't fix it. Just plug it in and hash the shit out of that unit...make some money. Title: Re: New Kncminner Jupiter, with 0GH/s after installing 0.99 firmware Post by: madsusies on November 28, 2013, 03:40:41 AM Hi guys, Jesus where you live, it's obvious the 1st gen (till October) didn't have a turbo mode like 2 gen lol now we don't even know if the next firmware will support 2 gen :) or if you will waiting to an extra firmware,I just received the Jupiter, I was setting it up and yes it worked, but since in the manual it said to install the firmware, well I did it. After that, it starts and I can configure a pool. It connects to the pool, but it doesn't hash... absolutely nothing. What's happening? Can anybody help. Thanks. Go on #kncminer and ask developers for a firmware to November version :) Title: Re: New Kncminner Jupiter, with 0GH/s after installing 0.99 firmware Post by: edgar on November 28, 2013, 05:54:25 AM good luck getting anything from hno - in #kncminer
i saw he posted the only option for 0die issues is to RMA BUT RMA is not offered for SINGLE 0die issues.... that was 7 hrs after help request was made - and NON KnC people took their time to help. but that may not be the usual state of affairs... the NON KnC cats are priceless!! Title: Re: New Kncminner Jupiter, with 0GH/s after installing 0.99 firmware Post by: sickpig on November 28, 2013, 08:12:53 AM good luck getting anything from hno - in #kncminer he usually responds if he thinks it's worth responding, after all he's doing it in his free time. anyway in this case the only thing he has to do is provide a link for a firmware. I hope i did it and, more to the point, that re-flashing the firmware fixed the problem.

Luckily there is a feature (kind of hidden) where the Jupiter keeps certain factory files. If anyone else has this problem, follow this: - login to your Jupiter by ssh mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/1 mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/2 cp /mnt/2/initramfs.bin /mnt/1/initramfs.bin shutdown -r now - after it comes back up, if it still doesn't work, do an hard reset and power off/on and then it should finally work |
