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. Just buy one Wr-842ND and do whatever you want. In current situation every minute downtime counts.

at the moment you need another cgminer instance. currently you can't reach your goal...
That IS what i'm doing. I've compiled a NEW version of cgminer for the 703n. And I'm trying to run a separate instance of cgminer. The avalon is still using the original version of cgminer. Just buy one Wr-842ND and do whatever you want. In current situation every minute downtime counts.
Generally, I'm not shutting down my avalon. I compile cgminer on a separate linux machine, upload the binary and test. If the avalon cgminer hangs, it's a matter of seconds to restart the original cgminer process.

If the avalon cgminer hangs, it's a matter of seconds to restart the original cgminer process. ttyUSb is different from Avalon one right? and binary name is different? Maybe BFL cgminer is probing somehow USb com ports and fucks avalon sending it crap to see if this is BFL? 1. Disable hotplug in your cgminer BFL config 2. Kill avalon cgminer 3. Run BFL miner 4. Run Avalon Miner But all that is damn stupid just buy another router PS: You need just to ask Kano or someone which knows cgminer better and be 100% that when you run your BFL instance it is not sending crap to avalon to probe if it is BFL that is the problem as you are describing it

The current Avalon code will ONLY work with an Avalon (not anything else) ... as I said when I first saw the code. Yes you need to run two separate cgminers. One with the Avalon only code (that doesn't support other devices ... unlike what Avalon said it would do ... not surprising at all) and one that is based on the current proper cgminer code. I've no idea what the USB identification of an Avalon is ... I don't have one nor will I ever ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) If it overlaps with the BFL or MMQ device (same Vendor/Product as one of them) then yes there will be problems. Unfortunate ...

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. Have you tried the BFGMiner Avalon firmware? This should work with both Avalon and BitForce devices.

He paid about BTC 114 for the machine at the time (last week of September 2012) The price in $USD is $USD 1359 ($USD 1299 + $USD 60 shipping), so 5 or 6 days at the current exchange the purchase breaks even in $USD if he mines about BTC 8 / day The price in BTC is BTC 114, so unless difficulty skyrockets dramatically, a Batch #1 machine can break even in BTC in about 15 days. Now.. for Batch #2, wave 0, a machine cost $USD 1500 or BTC 76.2 at the time for Batch #2, wave 1, a machine cost $USD 1500 or BTC 56.45 at the time Time will tell when these are delivered and what the $USD/BTC exchange is and more important difficulty. I hope they arrive before BFL starts shipping ;-)

I would like to expose the API to external servers.
What is the proper way to add additional cgminer command line options?
Is there a config file somewhere? I am tempted to edit /etc/init.d/cgminer
Thoughts?

That's probably (I don't have my Avalons yet) what starts cgminer and seeing some other people post command lines, you should just be able to slap the usual API enabling / configuring arguments on there. As a batch 2 buyer, my concerns lie with: A week before batch #2 is ready to ship, we will make an announcement to those who wish to trade-in their last generation units to sent in their units
Given there's been no announcement, I can only presume we're still over a week from the beginning of batch 2 shipping ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

For what it is worth, my /etc/init.d/cgminer had this line: PARAMS=" $DEVS $POOL1 $POOL2 $POOL3 --avalon-options 115200:24:10:45:282 -q --api-allow "W:0/0" --api-listen " I changed --api-allow to be more restrictive.

This may be Avalon's broken GBT. If so, you have two options: - Use stratum
![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) - Try out the BFGMiner firmware

Looks very suspicious. You are running at approximately the speed of 2 modules, so maybe check the module connections. The counts are right, but I dunno if the UI is simply displaying the arguments passed to the miner or if cgminer actually detected 24 and 10.
