I think this project will be pretty successful and we realize that HF has put a bad taste in everyone's mouth, however Mr. Teal, Chip Geek and I decided a while back to move on this project and build a better and faster board using their chips. We are excited to see what can be done with The Habanero and will continue to update everyone here and on our site with our progress.

I would be up for a few depending on price and boards.. it seems like that chip can really push the limits ..
|
|
|
|
So where can we see some info on what you have in the works MrTeal?
I got BTC burning away ready to get in on a new 28nm miner.
+1 Details...? Stay Tuned.. website coming on line soon.... |
|
|
|
One hint.. it will have no bfl chips on it, unless Mr Teal glues some on the pcb's as little rubber stoppers on the bottom  |

 Grown with care, coming soon to a farm near you.  Wow.. I love that pepper, must mean something fast is coming! |

any ideas of what variables to change to make 5 boards take the OC settings. edit: I have tried adding 4 to the end of 0 1 2 3 at the 2 or 3 points i could find this mentioned bellow, but it did not have an effect. eidt: if anyone can edit the bellow for me so it works with 5 boards i would be extremely grateful and would offer a small reward #!/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
use_bfgminer=
if [ -f /config/miner.conf ]; then
. /config/miner.conf #if bfgminer is enabled, this file contains: use_bfgminer="true"
fi
if [ "$use_bfgminer" = true ] ; then
exit 0 you can try this.... http://pastebin.com/AsGZKu4Eno clue if it'll work, i just used the individual die setting to try n oc all your mods...i've set'em all at 291 for ya...Let me know if it worked The Bermod 0.4 operates in the firm 1.0? Júpiter october 4vrm
yes its working for me on 1.0fw So to confirm you updated to 1.0, then changed the cgminer.sh based upon this pastebin, did you do any web admin changes in the advanced section? |

Not sure if this has been addressed and I'm coming from more of the Sierra side of things but coming soon I hope their should be a few changes that are in deff need to be implemented on your devices.
1. New Firmware, I think the current version is .3 and new one coming out.. Also hopefully a support forum will be up soon to explain a bunch of this.
2. Latest cgminer 3.12.3 which has a lot of HF driver and usb fixes plus some stuff that takes advantage of the new firmware .. fan speeds etc..
3. With the 2 above I would either build your own ri pi image with this (I have one that I might be able to provide) thats set up with cgminer, git and the latest version of cgminer. Note until you get a new version of the firmware u cant take advanced of some of the advanced features of cgminer 3.12.3
As for the Eligius pool, always check your 3 and 12 hour stats which are more accurate than the other ones.

Hey guys, I just ran into an issue of wanting to upgrade because a new version of software and or firmware was released. I was bitten by the my Sierras where down over night bug and just wanted to say to everyone here esp since this is still all wip with miner software and or firmware please jump on things quickly because well you end up like me with lost btc generated. Anyhow things happen and I will do my best on this forum to post my results of new updates and smoke test them so you guys dont have to.. Ill plan to donate one sierra to updates and test them for a day or so to make sure nothings is wrong and report back here. Right now their was a bug in cgminer 3.12.1 that came out last night that if you updated you prob know that something broke after a period of time, this now has a hotfix which im testing, if you want to avoid both I suggest using 3.10 for the weekend (esp if you dont have access to your boxes easily.) Ill report back in a few hours before im off to the SF Beer Week opening party and let you guys know how the 3.12.2 is doing with the Sierras. cheers! More updates and into go come |

Thanks Gateway for the board layout pictures. That helps clear things up.
Thanks again for the technical details of your sierra.
+ 1 and thanks for the thread. No problem.. my next task is to figure out a good way to define what is the best clock rate per box.. they are all a bit different, I'm waiting for hopefully cgminer or bfgminer to allow me to adjust the clock rate via api and would write a script that would try clock rates though a range and report the best after running for some time since it takes a good 10-20 min for a good average reading. Also if you get these boxes I suggest you mine at the eligius pool and if you do ever have questions about the pool or sierras im usually hanging out on the irc channel #eligius What have you found to be a good starting point for OC and is there a point where the tradeoff for speed is drowned by the extra wattage? How many watts can the PSU's support? 600 or 610, but OC at your own risk.. Off the top of my head I dont recall what the psu's are.. maybe 750's op 850s.. i know the jets come with 1000 watts |

Here are some mining boxes pics  These are on our test bench in our server room.. finding enough power on that bench was quite a challenge you can see on the right a jupiter with its cover off..  Back of some boxes.. 2 psu's one usb connector out per box..  Some of them in one of my racks.. |

Update..
Im able to stop and restart cgminer about 95% of the time now and the boxes come back up but I had it a few times where I would have to power cycle and unplug and start fresh again..
If your 2nd or 3rd device comes up with ZOMBIE give it a few to re-kick in..
more testing results to come.

2 Sierras running under cgminer 3.12x right now..  |

I haven't done much exploration of my BJ1 units other than to get them mining, and experiment with different external fan arrangements. I ordered some corsair i100 coolers in anticipation of the MPP. It is looking like the Seirra's seem more efficient than single BJ1s, so I may arrange my MPPs are seirras.
Thanks again for the technical details of your sierra.
What are your Jets running at temp wise? You need to only really worry if they pass 90 and at 100 the chip will shut every thing down. Also are you using the --hfa-hash-clock <number between 550-650> (Sweet spot for most of my boards are around 600 or 610, but you need to play with each board and look after a few hours at the place your mining) I also hang out on irc #eligius if you have any questions. |

I have several arriving soon. I'm really hoping they can be hosted on one host.
Im trying cg and bfg today with more than one plugged in.. Ill be testing the following: Starting with more than one sierra plugged in at start Stopping the miner and restarting it (biggest issue I had) |

New version of cgminer 3.12.0 I just posted has some communication improvements for usb errors that hopefully should help the reliability of these.
+1 , trying it now, I hope it can resolve the multi sierras on one box.. Hello, Is everyone who received their Sierras from batch1? Anyone in batch2? I am in batch 2 and have not even got the confirmation mail. I don't think that they make it until 31st of january, looks more than mid-february to me. Lets hope you get your soon but please keep this to only tech related stuff, I perfer not to turn this into a I didnt get mine thread yet.. but as I said I hope that yours arrives soon.. cheers! |

I'm going to test it tomorrow, I had a ton of work todo today and didn't have time to mess around with them, and I always have to walk in the server room and do my magic trick if they dont work.. more info to come... |
