Please add me to the list as well, Phil.  I've purchased two so far, one from minersupply on amazon and one from 419 mining.  Both happily crunching along at 700 mhz for over a month now!

One has 873 on the hs, one has 884.

Seconded.  I've picked up two so far, I'm interested in finishing the build-out of my mini mining farm.

Just wanted to post an update:  Received my RMA unit from 419 mining today.  While the box was a little squished, the miner arrived unharmed.  It's currently crunching away on it's inagural session.

Thanks 419, the other unit will be in the mail tomorrow night.

Yep, just the gekko option, and without any of the other miners plugged in.

Yep, tried running it by itself on the Rpi, same issue.  After posting last night I also:

-Redownloaded the gekkoscience 4.11 cgminer build and only plugged the terminus into it.  Same issue
-Re-formatted and installed raspbian onto the Pi, installed latest updates, and then reinstalled the gekkoscience build.  Same issue.
-Downloaded cgminer 4.9.2 and built with gekko support flag.  Same issue.

The fan on the R606 spins up, orange lights power up, and the white LED blinks while the Pi attempts communication, but cgminer gives up after 4 tries and marks the device as Zombie, then Dead.

Regarding the old stuff, yeah, I know.. It was more of a sanity test to make sure the other subsystems were still functioning properly at that point.   Smiley

Hi Everyone,

I believe this is my first post, but I'm just jumping back into mining after a few years hiatus - got burned by Butterfly Labs and MTGOX a few years back and called it quits for a while.

I'd been researching for a good quiet home miner setup and settled on the Terminus R606 (actually planning on up to 5 over a few months) and a RPi3 SBC to start, later ramping up to an octo-core ARM SBC or Intel Nuc of some kind running debian or ubuntu.

Just got my R606 yesterday, hooked it up, had cgminer 4.11 (gekko build) installed and preconfigured.

The miner ran great, around 628Mhz on voltage 5 in a ~70-75F condo (ground floor on concrete pad, shaded) overnight.

Went to work, got home, miners are not blinking.

Tried to SSH into the Pi, unresponsive.

Rebooted the Pi, restarted cgminer and got this output:

Eventually cgminer gives up and gives me this status for the device:
Code:
4: GSI 10040137: found 0 chip(s)                                         | OFF

Verbose Output in cgminer gives me floods of this:

So unless there's some sort of soft reset on the miner that can possibly get it back up and running I'm looking at a warranty replacement?  Does anyone have any tips to troubleshoot this sort of issue?  I've been roaming back and forth in this thread trying things and nothing's worked so far.  I've done all the simple stuff like repeated power cycling of the r606 and tried to hook it up to my windows gaming rig but even after running Zadig it wouldn't even display the GSI device, much less give me a status or miraculously recover it.

It really seems like the controller is initializing and identifying properly on the USB bus, but it's not able to enumerate or initialize any of the actual ASICs.

Well, maybe I can alibaba some replacement BM1387's and reflow solder the board if all else fails.
