When the control unit is working, is the LED labeled as "Done" on? Besides it, are there any other LEDs (LED1 ~ LED4) on at the same time?
Yes, DONE is instantly lit after power is turned on.
No, the other LEDs are dark.

I know the DONE LED is for the FPGA, do you actually know what the other one are for?

could you please ssh to tplink 703n, run command "dmesg | grep usb" and show the output here.

Here you go:

No -- "Err 0" is result value for success (i.e. no error). You can see this if you look at cgminer code.

Yes, you are right... Somehow redundant to display this message for "no error". Anyway, the unit is not producing a single valid share.

Hooking it up to a Xubuntu machine, cgminer says "Idling 32 miners" and nothing happens.

Using the TP-Link and starting cgminer via SSH:

Code:
root@OpenWrt:~# cgminer --avalon-options 115200:24:10:45:282 -S/dev/ttyUSB0 -o [redacted] --api-allow
 W:127.0.0.1 --api-listen --quiet

@Ytterbium

Yes, but then I still don't know

- If the board is actually broken or there's something that can easily be fixed
- What caused this error (so I can avoid it in the future, if I did something wrong)

@coldguy

Thanks, I will do that tomorrow.
144  Bitcoin / Hardware / Is this Avalon broken? ("FPGA controller messed up, 0 wrong results") on: August 06, 2013, 09:19:14 PM
Hi,

I have an Avalon (clone) here which worked for some time but now stopped doing so. Cgminer output is: http://pastebin.com/YeAPkPWP (Too long to paste it in this post)

To me it looks like there is some problem with the USB interface, like it cannot read from it. Is it possible the FTDI chip is broken? (If yes, how could that happen?)

(I tried to attach the control unit to the TP-Link router as well as to a Xubuntu machine (which generated the output above), same result)


Thanks for any suggestions!

We'll all be winners when we get our miners and bitcoinprice will go upupupupup :-)
Difficulty follows price, not the other way round.

"Through technical measures, we will try to prevent the mining and trading on other platforms"

You couldn't centralize your "TCC" more, could you?

With Bitcoin, everyone fears an entity reaching 50%, you say you want 100% of hashing power all the time. One needs unlimited trust in "Ecki CO., Ltd.", otherwise your coin is worthless.

What the hell... I'm not even talking about those pre-mined coins... You didn't learn anything from other alternative crypto currencies that failed. Incredible!

"It will be not possible to re-sell the purchased TCCs on the virtual stock exchange."

Well, that's an easy way to make 400.000$ for you.


Come on, are you just greedy? Or is it ignorance? Or both?

Sounds like i should chose DHL for the next batch... though i doubt, because of lack of communication, that i can change EMS from last batches to DHL... i now tend to do it if possible even though its only a slight, felt, advantage...
You should. I made bad experiences ordering via EMS from China. Clearing customs is nightmare, because either you pay GdSk (Gesellschaft der Schnellkuriere) very much for doing it for you or you have to do it yourself. (I actually tried it but couldn't complete the customs form in which question like "Kennzeichen des Transportfahrzeugs" were asked...)
148  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [RELEASE] Avalon Reference on: May 11, 2013, 05:18:43 PM
Well, it should be possible to read the bitstream from the flash chip on the control unit.
Someone with an Avalon just needs to do it ;-) (Maybe start a bounty?)
149  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [RELEASE] Avalon Reference on: May 11, 2013, 04:39:38 PM
The only thing missing is the FPGA bitstream, right? (At least I couldn't find it.)

How much EUR will the PCB-only option be?

Where in Germany are you located?

So we're supposed to believe that the 45 TH/s or so that's been dropped on the network are from the handful of Avalon units and a shit ton more of GPUs? lolololfuckinlol
Search for ASICMINER.

"I want to clarify the above post, as there is some potential confusion. We are not shipping yet. We plan on shipping possibly by the end of next week, but I will update on a shipping schedule as soon as I have more definitive information with regards to that."

Really, what's the matter? BFL says they are not shipping.

Yes, this has been quoted many times now but I felt like quoting it again.

Don't forget the CE symbol for EU customers.

Wouldn't be the first time for a device to get confiscated by customs and then... getting destroyed.

How can I put the "--device|-d <arg>" parameter in a config file?
Say I only want to use devices 2 and 3 for mining.

I tried "device" : "2,3" but that didn't work.

Difficulty is adjusted so one block is generated every 10 minutes. (If network hashing power doesn't change.)

Well, Deepbit is taking a 10% fee for PPS. Guess he broke more than even. HHTT's fees are incredible low for a PPS pool. (At least when using high difficulty setting.)
