It is beyond my comprehension that users are willing to run hardware on their local network knowing someone else (unknown) has root access to the device. Especially inside the world of digital currencies. Why risk it? Use rasp pi and feel safe in the knowledge that you are in control. The modified mining software used in this binary is on github.
No one has root access to the device, stop making things up. Feel free to run a network sniffer to confirm. Is ssh not active? I gave away my 703n , so can't check. SSH is disabled and serial console is disabled. Absolutely nothing happens. It seems like its either not taking DHCP address or giving it out if i put a client in the ethernet port.
I should possibly say that its with the standard tp-link firmware that its having this issue.
Connect the Tp-link directly to a PC, log in to telnet and change the network configuration. |

Try http://tftpd32.jounin.net/, works really well. Make sure you set the IP of the network connection on your PC to 192.168.1.100 or it will not transfer to the Tp-link. So set the host computer to 192.168.1.100?? same as the ip address of the TPlink? Because by default thats the ip for the tplink Yes, the Tp-link IP should change to something like 192.168.1.111 when connected. I have a question:
The original wiibox system is able to cut the power of the gridseeds by a relay connected to the gpio ports.
Can you integrate this hard reset by relay into Lightningasic, too?
I think they are using this script (gpio_0.sh):
Thanks.

We already have this feature implemented. |

just a quick question
is the auto overclocking feature a part of the "firmware" or is it part of the miner software thats part of the frimware -cpuminer is it? and if its the miner ie cpuminer/cgiminer (whichever one it is) can we run that as a standlone or does it need the firmware to run?
Part of cpuminer, the link to github sources is somewhere in this thread. Btw, can you post a screen with the web interface fully visible? thanks yeah i seen the link and refound it. So in theory i could use openwrt on the tp link and complie cpuminer to run on it? only i wouldnt have the nice graphical user interface?. did post one of the miner log as its empty nothing : ie : Tailing file: /tmp/log/ltc.log | Grep keyword: "" | Inverted: false and thats it nothign beloew that line. I sorted it. it appears you have to fill in THREE DIFFERENT pool Url. Whcih makes no sense as you only providing one worker name, each pool has a different worker name and password. Not really. One pool is enough, however it will cycle through the pool URLs if it can't connect to one. anyone have any luck setting up a tftp server? For some reason everytime i set one up either in windows or mac, it just will not for the life of it connect!
fustrating!

my unit is hashing with 404kHs says the Miner-Logs tab,
but is not submitting shares.
Pool shows Hashrate, but 0 Shares submitted too...
Try a cold reboot, all USB power off. |

If I update the wiibox controller to this can it be reverted back? Does the wiibox controller use cpuminer for scrypt?
If you have a backup OpenWrt image for the Wiibox, I can upload that so it can be reverted. I'm not sure about Wiibox controller, but I think it uses the standard cpuminer from Gridseed, without any speed/memory optimizations or mods. ATM I'm working on a minimal JSON API for cpuminer, this will allow you to check the stats of your Gridseed miners without accessing the web interface. |

Yes you could. Seems like the miner process is constantly killing itself. Make sure that a single worker name and password is correctly filled in. |

Quick, someone port this over to rPi!
Have ported V1 LightningAsic wiibox to PI (works quite well!) does anyone know how i can access v3 703n they seem to have removed all ways of telnet, SSH and even removed serial console access! Simple answer, you can't. |

get some errors the grid wont hash! [2014-04-14 18:01:50] USB bus not found, try to open the USB controller power [2014-04-14 18:02:00] New miner device(s) found: 8D#########4 (ACM0) [2014-04-14 18:02:00] LTC process shutdown done power cycle of tp link and gridseeds of every possible combo no joy  I don't see anything unusual, are they 'running'? Can you post the miner log? |

brincked tp link, unbricked it, installed openwrt, install v1 it hang, start again, install via serial console (v1) same again. after installing v1 i cant get into it. whats its default IP address, as the tp link default dont work! ive the TP link plug into spare eternet port on the pc so its not connected to the router yet, and even when i do connect it to the router its not recongisned so doesnt get assigned an ip.
By default it lets the router assign an IP by DHCP. |

Honestly no idea what that error means, maybe the pool operator can help...

Just installed LAG3355_12-RC10d.bin - it still does not work with many pools. fr.hbn.theblocksfactory.com:3336 , hbn.stratum.smartmining.net:17373 and many others just give all rejects, 0% shares accepted. Actually this firmware does not work with the most of the pools I use Well I don't know why it happens, but it would help if you send me the log contents. |

Well just bricked mine. It froze when right after I issued the command to write the file, and now nothing is showing up on my network nor can I reset anything with it.
Well shit I did not realize that the wifi was disabled...... turns out I did not brick it. Two questions. 1) Why can't I ssh into the controller after I updated the software? 2) Why can't I add worker names for the backup pools? 3) Goes with 1) I want to ssh to add wifi support back as the tp-link that I have has been modded with more flash memory and has more space for files. Other than the above issues, great work sandor111! Seriously the software is tits and will probably be the solution that I choose for controlling these guys. I've tried alot of the different solutions and so far this one has been the easiest setup after my "bricking" non bricking mistake I made, the setup was simple as pie. For some reason only cpuminer is giving me the hashrate that I would expect from how many units I have. Bfgminer one or two units will hang up + the hashrate is about 1MH lower than anticipated, Cgminer same, the local hashrate is what I expect but poolside its half of expected. Your solution is wonderful, I just would love to see separate worker names for my pools as my username is different for different pools. SSH is disabled because the firmware is still proprietary and protected, however the cpuminer sources are on github and can be found here: https://github.com/siklon/usb-miner/tree/master/software/cpuminerI will add worker names for backup pools in the next release. I'm sorry but you'll have to wait until Jack feels comfortable giving me the green light to open up SSH. I understand, just wish there was a way for me to enable wifi since I have enough memory on my TP-link to do so. Will the auto freq would with volt modded units or is it only for stock ones. Whats the ETA on the next update with separate worker names. After that I will have every feature I need. Very good job too, I will donate soon for the work you put in. I get what you're at, LightningAsic firmware will be fully open source pretty soon, someone just needs to convince Jack besides me. Anyway, yes auto overclocking will work with any unit, in fact, some units are happily hashing at 925MHz with no hardware mods whatsoever. No ETA on the next update, I will release it whenever I'm motivated enough to put enough work into it to call it a release.  Another thing I'd like to bring up and make sure that people understand, it's directed at everyone using the auto overclocking feature, or isn't... HW errors! as long as the hashrate isn't lower than it's supposed to be, why should you care when the units occasionally like to throw HW errors? Some people get erratic about it and think that it might cause the chip to deteriorate long term (not true AFAIK), but the only thing that matters when mining is your pool's hashrate (which is why I opted to display that, instead of the 'real' hashrate) and it's what you will be earning. My point is, that it will never be mining at a frequency that will make you profit less. |

A BIG thank you to sandor111 for all your effort.... this little control box was a waste of time, until your recent updates. I've just updated to the Auto Overclock from the previous version and i'm getting an extra 500kh/s overall. Very happy  Many Thanks again I am glad it is working well for you, the auto overclocking algoritm still needs some finetuning but it seems to be increasing the overall hashrate for most. |

got 20 tp-links today, gonna have some fun this weekend
Holy fuck, how many Gridseed miners do you have? |

I have flushed successfully with 3d ROM. Is it not possible to use internal WiFi?
Wifi has been disabled due to space constraints. |

Yes the hashrate displayed is basically (time elapsed x some constant x frequency x 5). So in that sense, hardware errors don't affect hashrate, at all. The way I do it, increment a hashes variable and time_spent_hashing variable, when a HW error occurs the hashes isn't incremented, but the time_spent_hashing is, and thus hashrate drops. That is the way it should be IMO, to get an accurate estimation of how HW errors affect the hashrate. Not using any of those, but Lighningasic firmware (which uses cpuminer) has per chip auto overclocking ATM.
Can you explain (or provide a link to) how the auto overclocking feature works? Thanks. |
