Avalon 851s and 852 firmware help

[hanjun941]

Hello,

I have set-up a A852 using the Avalon controller, network and pools are all set up correctly and it hashes fine. However, when I connect my A851s on its own to the same controller, it just says failed to connect.

On CGMiner Status only my A852 shows up, if it is a firmware issue, I can't find anything on canaan's website only stuff for their newer models, any help would be appreciated, I attached my API log for when I connect both units.

Is it not possible to connect the different models on the same controller? Thanks

The different Avalon models MUST be on their own controller!
The reason is simple: The different models all have different command values and more importantly different firmware. When upgrading the MM firmware the update would be applied to all miners attached to the controller which would be a bad thing because the 851's or 852's would think they are now a different model.

So I got this 1x 851s brand new out of the original box from a forgotten package at the warehouse I work at, the other 3 I have are 1x 851 and 2x 852 that I bought from a chinese supplier, these 3 can be connected together on the same controller, however that 1 from the warehouse wouldn't connect to the same controller, does that mean the chinese supplier uploaded the 852 firmware on the one 851 that I have? Also do you know where I can find the firmwares? or a guide for the 851 and 852?

Thanks.

All Canaan firmware is located at https://download.canaan-creative.com/
Look at the labels on the side of the miner to see what it should be then connect just the 1 that does not work to a controller and look at the GUI to see what it says under 'DEVICE". If it is blank or does not match what the label on miner says you will need to apply the correct MM firmware to the miner. You may also have to load a matching OpenWrT onto the controller as well.

No matter what, the different Avalon's need to be on different controllers.

Yes thank you very much, seems like the MM doesn't match the side :/ there's 1 that says 14.5TH/s instead of 15 which I suspect is actually an 851 cause they scratched off the number so I can't say for sure

Would you mind explaining how to identify the controller? mine looks like the avalon one, but doesn't have the avalon logo on it, I opened it up and the chip is some chinese brand.

The controller needs to be some sort of RasPi, it can be made by anyone. Most common is the RasPi-3B. The 3B+ will NOT work. Odds are your controller is fine. If you look at the GUI > status it should say something like "Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2"
