the raspberry pi interface has a link to the firmware update page at
http://downloads.canaan-creative.com/but there I see many firmware update files listed so i am very confused:
MM-6.0 Firmware | MCU Firmware
there's NO documentation available to Avalon 6, anybody have a clue on how to proceed?
the pi interface has links to "MM Upgrade" under the "Status" tab and "Backup / Flash firmware" under the "System" tab
First of all, send them an e-mail containing "WTF? Where is the manual?"
I have updated a firmware of hashing boards (that link to MM upgrade). New FW brings some ipmrovements, Avalon6 should work at voltage up to 12.8V with it (it's a factoid though).
Follow the link:
Then click on mm.mcs and you'll see this:
Right-click at that page and choose "Save as..." Be sure that the filename is "mm.mcs", not "mm.mcs.txt" or whatever.
Then you know what to do - in RasPi web-interface go to "MM Upgrade" and choose this mm.mcs you have just saved.
It looks that RasPi will update this FW on any newly connected Avalon6 units.
BTW, I have updated a Raspberry FW too. Looks like it started to run more smoothly.
