Avalon ASIC users thread

Anyone know how to reset Avalon Mini 60Gh when there is no access to the web interface.

I have set it up with a ethernet cross over but still nothing on 192.168.0.100 or 192.168.0.101

Already Done this

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.

And no joy.

There may be a pin hole near the LAN socket.  When you are powering up the device, you can depress the switch inside this pin hole.  For more instructions about timing and the resulting IP address, Google for OpenWRT fail safe.

Many thanks, is there any info on how to set a static ip as the ip on our router is 192.168.1.1 so need to set static so I can connect it to that network

Thanks guys I got it hashing connected directly to cgminer on a linux laptop. I didn't remove the jumper from the FPGA. Its nice to know these things are easy to run without TP-LINK TL-WR703N.

With the jumper installed you are supplying power to both ends of the usb cable afaik and according to the schematic.
Not healthy for the controller or the laptop. You might want to check for hot spots on the controller.

Is it running ok on 3.8.5?
I haven't tried that version yet and my batch 3 choked on 3.8.4.
I'm running 3.8.3 right now which has given me the best results so far.

Thanks. I removed the jumper and the usb port is now running 10 degrees cooler. 3.8.5 is running fine.

Got it sorted but the unit starts at approx 8Gh (instead of 60) then it drops to 0 and restarts

Anyone know where I can get the latest firmware update please, been told I am running on wrong one 20130821.

Thanks

Here http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/avalon/ but I don't think that is your problem.

   [fan1] => 4200
   [temp2] => 85

 

Looks like it's shutting down on high temp, is the fan actually running and is the air flow path through the unit clear?

Changed Fan temp to 70 & cut off 90 and it is now working like a dream.

Thanks everyone who helped.

Anyone know how I would go about getting Avlaon running though Windows 8 and running independently though BFG or CGminer I have a batch 2 model.

[ShopemNL]

Howcto hard reset? My memory is full so i cant change or delete anything.

Can you power cycle?

Plug a printer type USB cable into the avalon board directly and into your PC. On windows it should come up as an ftdi device. Use zadig to switch it to WinUSB and cgminer should just autodetect and run on it. You may need to unplug and plug the USB cable or reboot for it to be recognised but I didn't need to. Worked fine on win7 for me, I'm assuming 8 will be the same.

Turn it off.  Let 30 seconds pass.  Turn it on.

Yes, i restored default now it wont connect with my lan (no ip to connect from)

If your Avalon has been reset to default the IP will now be 192.168.0.100 on your Avalon. You need to change the IP on your computer to 192.168.0.10 to be able to connect to 192.168.0.100 using a web browser.

this does not work. I changes IPV4 settings on pc to 192.168.0.1 rest blank

if you are on a network with a router this might just conflict with the existing router

or are you using a point to point link with just your laptop hooked up to the avalon?

No didnt had that cable (you cant do it with normal ethernet cable). It worked now! Thanks =] Now i have 62% space left instead of 3%

Edit : How the hell can you see cgminer when screen option does not work in putty.

You can use a regular LAN cable between the laptop and the TP-Link 703n.  It autosenses.  I have done this.

As have I. Works perfect with regular Ethernet cable.

There are a few sales for 200GH/s Avalon devices on eBay but as far as I can see Avalon never sold a 200 GH/s device. The pics associated with the sales appear to be Gen 1,  3 or 4 mod devices.

Anyone able to enlighten me?

yes lol. 15-20btc will buy you much better these days.. no idea what chips they are running, but if its G2, they would be around 500GH for same amount of chips.
And if its 4 G1 units it would be only 110GH.
