is tnat one?
ok, I have Corsair AX 1200 power souply. if I run this as external psu, is good?
I`m trying to reset but still nothing. ping coming, but I can`t conect to tp-link. may be i do something wrong.

Yes.

Good PSU
Then check cgminer api log, may be you have defective module.

I never do it by myself, but someone managed to reset this router successfully https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=140539.msg2673018#msg2673018

Just as an aside, I am currently touring through Europe for the next 6 weeks.

Care to elaborate which countries?

Just Greece from here on Net access is not so great so far where I am...

i hope you stop by Santorini.  just got back from a one week vacation there.  absolutely stunning.

I use BFGminer. cgminer don`t work with my avalon no one fpga and avalon in my system don`t work with cgminer. only bfgminer working. where I can see logs?

make sure your pc is on the same subnet as router.

So if I have inside  750W? there is no reason to change? a model is  unknown ... something in Chinese written on it.
 is stable at 300MHz, 325 goes to idle mode and orange light blinking. the temperature is not more than 48 degrees. it is the power supply or something else? I connected directly to PC because my TP-link internal router not working

Move out PSU from case.
I run my avalon with external PSU at 336 with 750 stock PSU (Enermax ENM750EWT-S RG) and it never restarts.
Tested @354 but noise level unacceptable, 750w PSU easily handle moderately overclocked units.
if problem still occurs than check you "cgminer api log"
It must be something like that (my unit @336 2 days w/o restart):
   [no_matching_work] => 0
   [match_work_count1] => 20069
   [match_work_count2] => 20320
   [match_work_count3] => 20197
   [match_work_count4] => 19944
   [match_work_count5] => 20103
   [match_work_count6] => 19962
   [match_work_count7] => 19976
   [match_work_count8] => 20163
   [match_work_count9] => 20064
   [match_work_count10] => 19961
   [match_work_count11] => 20056
   [match_work_count12] => 20235
   [match_work_count13] => 20173
   [match_work_count14] => 20481
   [match_work_count15] => 20215
   [match_work_count16] => 20042
   [match_work_count17] => 20044
   [match_work_count18] => 19992
   [match_work_count19] => 20040
   [match_work_count20] => 20398
   [match_work_count21] => 19627
   [match_work_count22] => 19978
   [match_work_count23] => 20354
   [match_work_count24] => 20186
All counters have almost same values. (~5% diffs) if not you have defective modules or some module overheated (usually second module w/o temp sensor ).

And you can try to reset your router, may be it's not dead.

All I can say is, how the heck you get a no_matching_work stat of 0...thats crazy! , ever avy screenshot Ive seen has a slight number above 0...

when are we going to be able to order 4th modules for batch 2 units?

[cypherdoc]

is there any accepted shutdown procedure for the avalons or is it just hit the off button?

[SolarSilver]

You can log in with ssh and issue the halt command but other than that, most of the system is read-only so you can just hit the off button (as long as you don't have any pending change config / updates happening)

So far, I have not seen a shutdown button on the interface

[SolarSilver]

aftermarket, like from bitmine.ch

sighs at that price...what a ripoff, oh well .. soon as BTC settles down to 10$ again.... ASICs will be much cheaper =P

This is strange.

- I cannot ping one of my avalons, and web interface stopped responding
- but on the pool I see that it still keeps submitting shares! And even the hash estimate for it is increasing.

how this can be possible? Maybe something is wrong in my LAN...

Perhaps it changed IP, due to your dhcp setup?

nmap -v -sP your network range and look for new IP's that are "up"

Yeah, this is why I have my avy set to static DHCP in router

Actually the IP is assigned statically. I rebooted, and changed IP to another one, maybe there was some IP conflict.

EDIT: looks like it fixed the problem. The new IP was in the same subnet.

[GenTarkin]

did ya figure it out? if not, the ip you changed it to, was it in the same subnet still?

I cracked it! Hitting 120GH on a 3 module now

Surely you're pulling our leg. 450 is the max clock rate which puts a 3 module somewhere around 100GH. If not, do spill your secret.

Spent all of yesterday going through the firmware code, there is a trick people are missing. Uses some information from the github as well.

was wondering how long it'd take people to notice ( and more importantly share the constant that we've released on github.)

the number you are all aiming for is 450 of course, that's not really possible on just air cooling.

For gpu you can press G key to get the stats. For avalon... I dunno
You can get stats for sure using "stats" API command (see. API-README.txt)

ops wrong quote, I corrected, posted just to emphasize that the secret is on github
and bold on SHARE... but I find it nice its something most people cant find. I still cant.
