2 of my 8 avalon asic miner are not running any more. does anyone has an idea what to do? cgminer is permanently restarting! Did you change the More Options(Default: --quiet) field recently ? I had the same, had an invalid option in there.

Ok, getting close. I can access the web interface. I have re-flashed an old FW and connected wifi and cgminer configs (via backup tar.gz). But still no hashing. I have two wifi routers in my house. 192.168.0.108 and 192.168.0.115. They wouldnt be interfering would they? (also thanks smoothrunnings, PM me a tip addy) Cgminer log: [Firmware Version] => 20130923 cgminer: 48681dd cgminer-openwrt-packages: 3527ce4 luci: 296b358 Socket connect failed: Connection refused You need to set your computer IP address to 192.168.0.1, subnet 255.255.255.0 and leave everything else blank. Then apply the settings, and make sure your computer and the Avalon are plugged into the same network and then open up IE or Chrome and go to 192.168.0.100 or http://192.168.0.100/ and you should be able to log into your Avalon. I believe if you have a look at the Avalon Wiki it explains how to log into the Avalon with the default settings. I would recommend you install CK's latest firmware, I think that's still 0821. I have seen a couple of people complain they have had nothing but problems with the latest Avalon firmware installed on their machines. Flash the machine with the CK firmware, do not restore the settings. And add your mining servers back manually and confirm if it's working. I am not sure if you have are doing this, but my Avalon's are set to failover and I have two pools added to them, I found when I only added one Pool the hashing sometimes would not start at all, it's only when I added the second pool (as a failover) I didn't have any issues at all and at restart the hash kicks on pretty quickly. Keep in mind when you update the firmware (pushing it back to CK's 0821) the default settings will be applied to the Avalon, so you will need to connect to it on 192.168.0.100. When you connect a computer do your network does your computer get an IP address? If so there is a DHCP server (application if you want to call it) running likely on your internet modem or router. Avalon's by default enable DHCP server so you need to make sure this is disabled as two DHCP servers on the same subnet (192.168.0.xxx) will fight with one another as you are technically only supposed to have ONE DHCP server in your network environment. So disable DHCP on your Avalon, assign the Avalon a static IP within the range that your DHCP doesn't operate in; example again DHCP servers may say the first IP is 192.168.0.100 with a pool of 50 so .150 is the last IP it will hand out. You have IP's 192.168.0.1 to .99 and .151 to .254 which you can statically assign out to your equipment. If you assign a DHCP server address statically when a second device grabs that IP from the DHCP server which doesn't know what machines have that IP assigned statically you will have an IP conflict problem between the two devices. The last thing I forgot to ask or mention is plug your computer into your network and confirm you can get out on the internet. Then go to command prompt (if you are running windows) and type "ipconfig /all" without the quote, then look for the network adapter that has 192.168.0.x for the IP, copy down the numbers, IP, Subnet, Gateway, DNS. On your Avalon you it should have it's own IP, subnet, the gateway must match what your computer says, and DNS I set mine to 8.8.8.8 which is Google's openDNS server.

First off, thank you ckolivas for all of your hard work, I will be sending another tip soon!
I just upgraded my mini's to your latest firmware and had a question about the --avalon-auto mode. On my Batch #2 Avalons this setting slowly tweaks the clockrate from my default 350 to find the sweet spot between hardware errors and hashrate and ends up at around 356-357. On my Mini's the clockrate stays at the default 375 so I was wondering if there was an upper limit in the --avalon-auto setting that prevents it from tweaking it since I've been able to run the mini at 400 but with a 3% error rate. Just curious!
Keep up the good work!
I don't believe the --avalon-auto feature works with the mini, but like my mini which came with a 850W Gold Evermax PSU your's may have the same PSU (you'll have to check), my runs comfortably at 400Mhz doing 63 ~ 65GH/s. Thank you for sharing this information! On the other hand may I ask hot hot it runs? Temperature controlled room or no? How hot is too hot?

If I recall my Avalon Mini default temp settings were 50f low and 70f high. Though my mini has been as low as 13f. I would think 70f is too high, but it should be able to handle 50~60f.

Re-flashed 0821 without keeping settings, connect wifi, dhcp (no hash), switch to manual IP, HASHING! Thanks all.

I don't have time to read all topic ... Can somebody tell me "What about customs" I understund that the miners comes from china with free shipping . They write the price in $$ ? (we pay in BTC) What is the declaration value on the customs form ? Is there someone here from europe that he recieve miner from Avalon ?

avalon mini overcloked 400mhz on btcguild 67.15 GH/s HW 1.5%
just overcloked 2 unit at 401mhz
now it s better to buy 2 avalon mini instead a 4 modules
avalon mini is more stable

i just flashed my mini to CK 0821 firmware - overclocking the chips at 400 Mhz, question: for the miner count(default 24) in the cgminer configuration tab do i need to change the miner count to 16? cause i remember each module has 8 miner count and minis have only 2 module. would an erroneous miner count cause any problems? any insight as to how i should proceed is greatly appreciated!

There's some kind of fpga bug that makes it not work with the lower miner count, so leave it at 24.
