So I thought I'd make it easy for everyone to try the latest cgminer 3.3.0 and overclock settings all rolled into one, so here is a firmware with the overclock settings settable from the web interface:

http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/avalon/20130624/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-factory.bin

Note that I have donation settings in the configuration so if you do not use your own config settings, it will start mining for me until you change them.

Usual warnings apply with aggressive overclocking: do so at your own risk!

Enjoy 

[Elokane]

Thanks!

Will definitely let it mine for you for a while.

Thank you ckolivas!

If you could add the 5Mhz steps from strombom into your firmware and the ability to change it via web interface, I will send you a tip of 0.5BTC

I am inspecting the info provided from strombom

There are difference between registers

Form latest con cgminer source

 switch (frequency) {
case 256:
buf[6] = 0x03;
buf[7] = 0x08;
break;
default:
case 270:
buf[6] = 0x73;
buf[7] = 0x08;
break;
case 282:
buf[6] = 0xd3;
buf[7] = 0x08;
break;
case 300:
buf[6] = 0x63;
buf[7] = 0x09;
break;
case 325:
buf[6] = 0x28;
buf[7] = 0x0a;
break;
case 350:
buf[6] = 0xf0;
buf[7] = 0x0a;
break;
case 375:
buf[6] = 0xb8;
buf[7] = 0x0b;
break;
}

Form hacked cgminer 5 Mhz steps

    } else if (frequency == 325) {
        buf[6] = 0x2b;
        buf[7] = 0x0a;

 } else if (frequency == 350) {
        buf[6] = 0xf3;
        buf[7] = 0x0a;

    } else if (frequency == 375) {
        buf[6] = 0xbb;
        buf[7] = 0x0b;


I will not patch mine cgminer unless con decides to implement it

PS: Att to strombom

Can you comment why values are different and timing also?

Thank you!

[Elokane]

Do I stack these with the warm, screw-studded side down or up?

[server]

Is there a way to update the firmware from the shell ?

I can't update from the web interface because it gives me a time-out error.

Did you power off/on the maschine? Try another Browser? Turn off antivirus/firewall for this moment?

I use chrome and works without problems.

Sry I can't help with shell update.

I had one of them a bit farther away from the router and the upload took much longer till it timed out on the first couple of tries.
Either make sure the connection is fine or just do it by connecting it directly to another computer with an ethernet cable.

Yup I tried everything... even modified the upload time-out settings in Firefox.

I think it's possible to start an update script from within the shell.
But if not I will make a direct connection with a laptop orso.

Can someone post the donation settings for ckolivas ?

Thanks, I will try it with a direct cable connection.

So I thought I'd make it easy for everyone to try the latest cgminer 3.3.0 and overclock settings all rolled into one, so here is a firmware with the overclock settings settable from the web interface:

I have tried it and I am back to FW 20130519 which was the most stable for me

first I had this




(perhaps my mistake was that I have kept settings)

and then





this was with only 282 Mhz




with 300 and 325 cgminer runs only a few minutes, the fans went up to 38xx rpm (noisy) and then cgminer restarts


thx for your work
PS: I have learned again -> never change a running system

+1 for the 5Mhz baby steps. Would be nice

is this a batch one or batch 2?

either way it should not be doing that on 282mhz......

It's timing settings, I did not have the information available so I simply extrapolated the numbers from the four available settings. Maybe those provided by BitSyncom are more optimal, so use them.

[dogie]

Is there a way to set max temp to 48/49? One of the modules sits on 47 which triggers max RPMs.

Also those of you running upright, do you have the PSU at the top or the bottom?

[Elokane]

So which way do I stack these?

BTW running ckolivas' latest at 325 and works flawlessly for 4 hours now.

HELP ME PLEASE!

My unit has been offline for 8 hours now

is this good enough for upgrading a batch 1 PSU?

Maybe because you pushed it to 350 stock?

kill cgminer process (needs to be done twice)
save config again.... try 345 instead of 350... it seems more stable for me
goto startup and RESTART cgminer.....

repeat this process every 5mins if not working
