sure man, no doubt. but one simple script could get that holy cgminer file with preconfigured data and thats it, IF, the if they had all the data in good shape. which is not the case, since they have to manually check all the orders. so they are already having that extra work.
If you look in their github, you can see that there's actually very little to edit. There's space for three pools and that's it. It takes the user all of 30 seconds to edit. If they did it for people, it doesn't save the end user any time, especially if things change between when they get the pool info and when the device ships. In addition, they'd be having to match physical devices with shipping labels, etc where right now, they just stuff any device in a box and ship. If you ordered, shut up and enjoy your interest(tm). If you didn't order, you're in the wrong thread. :p Bro! Im just saying thats not impossible and would be neat, It does not diminish the fact that its an AWESOME product. Im waiting Avalon and Im sure I can beat that 30 seconds set up via SSH You have to setup via the web interface first before you can get to ssh, thats why I said 30. from wiki: ssh root@192.168.0.100 # Once you setup the password the telnet service will be stop. use ssh instead. telnet then? well we lost way more time discussing this.

good question. with SSH you go into command line interface of router, so you can edit the file yourself. I know that cause I use same router and image by xiangfu as host to my icarus. avalon may be quite the same. this script is called cgminer and resides in /etc/init.d/ #!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common START=99
POOL1="-o http://stratum.ozco.in:80 -O user:password" POOL2="-o http://us.ozco.in:80 -O user:password"
POOLS="$POOL1 $POOL2 $POOL3"
start() { DEVS=`find /dev/ -type c -name "ttyUSB*" | sed 's/^/-S/' | sed ':a;N;$ cgminer -q -T --api-network --api-listen $POOLS $DEVS & }
stop() { killall -s 9 cgminer

There's a web interface where you can just fill out the form, or so I'm told. No ssh needed.

Well that sux ... Those API settings mean you can't control cgminer, you can only view it. If you want to be able to control cgminer ... it's documented in the API-README ...

There might be something wrong with controller itself. I have not heard of any soft way to restart the controller yet. I have asked this many times...so to be on a safe side we have to use power plug:) having said all this it actually does not matter how you are going to soft restart it when it will not work again. I took care of this already and when i got my Avalon it will be powered off and on automatically if any problem occurs. As long it does not have HD like PC it is not hurting at all:) About the default API settings - most of 99% the guys here do not care at all. And 99% of the cases unit will be behind NAT - soho router modem or whatever this is by design i think. Having that in mind i can say that here is 0% problem with default settings. For those of us who know what we want and how we want it we will do it. change files use iptables, vpn, miner.php and all fancy stuff that i have in mind

http://www.ipnetcontrol.net/en/item-products-en/p-4r1t1a-bgNo English version you can use google translate from Bulgarian There are two options 1. power device can be controlled via snmp and power off / on each of the four power lines independently. It has web interface also which can be used for power off/on manually. The process of monitoring and restarting four independent power lines can be automated via shell sell script 2. Automatic way that is what i am going to use first when more Avalons come one of them will monitor the rest and control power lines via snmp accordingly How it will be done Power Device has a built in function to monitor every minute via ping given IP address and when ping fails it can restart (power off/on) one of the configured power lines where avalon unit is connected. So there is built in script inside avalon which does soft restart when accepted shares are not changing or when cg miner is dead #!/bin/sh # This file is for cron job C=`pidof cgminer | wc -w` if [ "$C" != "1" ]; then /etc/init.d/cgminer stop /etc/init.d/cgminer start exit 0; fi A=`cat /tmp/cm.log` B=`cgminer-api | grep "^ \[Accepted\]"` cgminer-api | grep "^ \[Accepted\]" > /tmp/cm.log if [ "$A" == "$B" ]; then /etc/init.d/cgminer stop /etc/init.d/cgminer start exit 0; fi https://github.com/BitSyncom/cgminer-openwrt-packages/blob/master/cgminer/files/cgminer-monitorThe quick and dirty hack to this script is changing /etc/init.d/cgminer stop /etc/init.d/cgminer start to ip a f dev br-lan or whatever interface name is then power device will not be able to ping avalon unit and within a minute it will be rebooted powerd off and on:) Nice easy and clean:)

Bro! Im just saying thats not impossible and would be neat, It does not diminish the fact that its an AWESOME product. Im waiting Avalon and Im sure I can beat that 30 seconds set up via SSH you will have to use telnet / http first to edit passwd. at the first ssh login, the priv/pub generation would take ~10s for 703n, have fun waiting XD

Initially, I think my avalon was restarting every now and then, but I upgraded the firmware. Here are some stats after running for a day. Not quite sure what the expected stats should be. Anyone know?

I know the field is currently limited, but has anyone else tried to do some stupid shit like me and attempted to get a custom version of cgminer running on the avalon? I compiled a new version of cgminer without avalon support but with bitforce support (since the avalon version of cgminer is incompatible with other hardware). Everything compiles, but when run it I get "BFL0: invalid nonce - HW error" The post at https://forums.butterflylabs.com/fpga-single-minirig-support/266-bitforce-single-fails-2.html seems to point at some bad/incompatible usb issues. My avalon miner also tends to crash after I plug a bitforce into the usb hub. Edit: this post is separate from my previous post about stats. i'm not trying to tweak the avalon with a new cgminer. i'm trying to use the avalon as a host for a bfl single.

kaerf, what on earth are you trying to do? Your stats look fine. They report 67 Ghash/s. 3439 getworks indicate cgminer works on shares of an average difficulty of 428. There is no need to recompile cgminer.

I'm trying to run a BFL single from the avalon. I'm not messing with the avalon miner itself.
