When my batch 1 unit gets into that state where all temps and fanspeeds are zero (and indeed the fans are stopped), I have to turn off the power supply switch for 20 seconds or so.  When I power it back on, it's happy again.

Just soft-rebooting the wr703n is not enough.

I have my restart timer set at 60 seconds from power off.

what's the stratum pool address for ozcoin from the US?  stratum.ozco.in:3333 isn't working for me.

trying to set solo mining up just now, but having some issue, avalon just won't connect. but when i plug an erupter in and open bfgminer with the right config it works?

I also find solomining directly against bitcoind using getwork to be broken in recent releases.  It worked with 0519.

Eh? Did it ever work? bitcoind can't provide 70-80GH of getworks and cgminer can't do GBT solo mining to bitcoind.

It definitely had some GetFailures, and some work leaked to backup pools, but it did find blocks.  Not anymore though.

I guess I should look into that eloipool setup jgarz wrote about.

I got eloipool working now using his guide. 

The -blocknotify bit was tricky as I happened to be running the daemon on a Windows VM, and eliopool on Linux, but my old friend xinetd helped to bridge the gap.

Is there a way to view multiple avalons information on one screen?

350 and pretty cool without airco



(1 fan on max rpm)

How do you set your ASIC to be like that? I'm getting 46 degrees. its crazy!

With Ambiniet about 15C. Temp1 is showing at lest +5 when mounted inside

PS: by the way i am prety sure that all reboots/hangs are due to USB disconect issues. I have tried whatever i can but mu unit needs rebot twice per day.

I don;t understand. What is ambinet?

Thank you Con 
My grammar sucks no spell checker around. Buy the way do you get usb disconnects? How often do you need to restart your unit. My batch 2 is coming shortly and i will have some clue what is going on with USB there. I have removed ftdi driver, tried direct usb connection to various hosts including PC and USB just disconnects from time to times. If i wait long enough it reconnects and all is fine. I did it just once otherwise reboot not to waste time
 
Can you comment?

I do not get usb disconnects any more with my latest code and with wifi disabled.

and this totally replaces xiangfu's official avalon firmware?

Basically yes.

nice.  glad to see you're in charge.  i had good luck with cgminer and my gpu's.

if i get these mofo's working, i'll be tipping.  thanks.

Got one b1 overclocked with blue fan running fastest i ever seen....very few modifications needed

Not entirely in charge. There are vast areas of fpga and avalon router that I don't touch. I've only really fiddled with the user interface enough to work with the newer cgminer features. The rest is still xiangfu's domain, but I understand he's busy looking after a baby so is probably too busy to worry about such trivialities

just to be clear; that firmware your link pointed me to doesn't require any unpackaging or unzipping, right?  just download it and then upload to avalon?

Yes, just flash the .bin
http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/avalon/20130627/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-factory.bin
file as is. Sometimes you may need to power it down for a minute before powering it on again after a major change if it doesn't start hashing immediately after flashing and restarting automatically.
