Well i wrote this update with the help of XiangFu
the update is that you are now able to run CGminer 4.0.0 which before this update the avalon mini was running 3.9.0
I am seeing about a 5ghs improvement ( normal speed was 47ghs - 49ghs before update due to a bad chip or miner since only 15 of the 16 chips/miners work )
if someone can show or tell me how i can post a pic i will post the pic up to prove new speeds

Are you running 24 or 16 miner count? If you set the miner to 24 miner count all 16 miners should work without a hitch unless you have managed to fry a sub board. Also the miner is supposed to be running at 350Mhz by default which would put it around 55-59GH/s. At 400Mhz my miner does closer to 62GH/s but I don't recommend you running at 400Mhz unless you plan to put your miner into a deep freezer. Con Kolivas < kernel@kolivas.org> also develops firmware for the Avy, so I am surprised he hasn't come out with an update. But I have alerted him to this post so hopefully he comes out with something soon; I find his updates are better than YiFU's.

i have tried running 16 and 24 and still i get
[match_work_count1] => 3878 [match_work_count2] => 3755 [match_work_count3] => 3849 [match_work_count4] => 3763 [match_work_count5] => 3786 [match_work_count6] => 3785 [match_work_count7] => 3799 [match_work_count8] => 3717 [match_work_count9] => 3949 [match_work_count10] => 3846 [match_work_count11] => 3886 [match_work_count12] => 3762 [match_work_count13] => 3858 [match_work_count14] => 3822 [match_work_count15] => 3734 [match_work_count16] => 0
but even missing that 1 i am getting pretty good speed with it

So the only thing to do is check the cables inside, and see if the last sub board is burnt in anyway.

Thanks for the firmware.

How much are you paying for electricity that it's no longer profitable? Mine is still ~75% profit. Or did you just run out of power / cooling capacity for more efficient gear?

I didn't dump the old setting as I wasn't sure what it would do. LOL

Thanks, I just dl'd it. I will have to decide now if I should try it or not. Does it give any advantages that make it worth the risk?

Did it give you any boost in performance or extra useful settings? Also did it save your existing settings like some of the other firmwares do?

Hello all. I've posted my setup guide for Avalon2 units and modules, including a cooling mod. I also have a proposed one for gen 1 Avalons which I'll write up [after I've finished dying of this flu], if there's any demand. **Avalon Avalon2 setup guide**

Hey ckolivas, I am experiencing a weird issue with p2pool ( http://p2pool.smoothrunnings.ca:9332/ my local miners on my LAN (an Avy mini and b1) are showing "no shares yet" both were upgrade to cgminer 4.0.1 from using your firmware. Would there be any reason in 4.0.1 why this feature wouldn't work anymore, possibly a bug? I am going to switch back to the previous firmware and update you when I know more.

You said you are running the 55nm chips? I am using the 100nm chips which is what the Avalon Mini and Batch 1 and 2 use.
