My Impression of Avalon Machine (cooling info updated)

[techwtf]

finally the problem reason is found.

in the first machine I got, the included USB A-to-B cable is < 35cm in length (including the connectors),
during shipping the connector is dropped and I opened the case, reconnected back (so you see that I wrote that trouble).
but it didn't get fastened as the cable is short.

in the recent batch of machines, the cable is much more longer,
there is also tape to make sure the connectors never get disconnected.
so yours should be safe from this issue.

but anyway, "no_matching_work" in stats api should be 0, or you may want to check the same issue.

---

simply, the current communication protocol / the controller? is not capable of doing error correction.
flip a bit may really cause big problem.

Super! Can you be more specific about how big problem can be?

I guess that controller has own Firmware/Software and it can be upgraded some time in the feature is that correct?

1: run into a dead loop, or returned unknown bad response (since the command may be a bit flipped one)
2: yes, but I guess it wont be a easy thing... I dont think they will release it.

Is there a way to configure a failover gateway in this build of openWRT?

You better use something like zeroshell as your gateway and configure multiple upstreams on a fail over setup.
It's the way my home network works (well, a bit harder than this, i load balance my upstream via some magic called VPN bounding, a layer 3 stuff if i recall correctly).

Yes via shell script as add on. You can do whatever you want:)
There is no buildin recipe to solve every problem but it is open source and you can take advantage of it and find a solution
