[Work in progess] Burnins Avalon Chip to mining board service

[Roy Badami]

Those of us who are running both Bitburner XX boards and Bitburner Fury boards might be  interested in a new option in cgminer 3.6.6 that allows you to mine with both types of board in a single cgminer instance, and set different avalon-options for the XX and Fury boards.

See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=294735.msg3415231#msg3415231 for details.

Got my 2 burners yesterday and i'm having trouble with one of the 2 boards i got.
My 10chip works just fine at around 4gh .
But my 20chip board keeps rebooting every 30sec.

Currently testing them without the CAN untill i can get them both running.

I'm using "--avalon-options 115200:2:10:d:400 --avalon-auto  --queue 4 --bitburner-voltage 1285".

Any1 got an idea to why my board keeps rebooting?

I'd look at what's powering the XX board.

Spot on!
He is using a 5Amp PSU, that is only good for about 380Mhz at 1.2V.

Guess i shouldn't have gotten the power supplies from you then since they can't power your own boards =)
And the CAN BUS cable doesn't seem to work either, both boards alone is fine, but when connected and each board has been terminated.
I get like 50% HW errors when i try it.

Burnins psu can power 2 boards easily... even 10 bbxx overclocked to 450mhz.

You terminated the boards correctly with 2 jumpers each on both ends of the stacking cable? Did you build the stackingcable correctly?

As i only have 2 boards together, they are both terminated like burnings FAQ.
And burning supplied the cable.

I bought everything to remove any chance of my fucking it up =)

I guess you've should read the specs more carefully.
The Mean Well is good for 60W (http://www.burninmining.com/product/mean-well-gs60a12-p1j/), which is good enough for up to ~372MHz:

ambient: 25°C, water temperature 26°C

Air cooling:
282 - 45.8, 40.5, 1.2, 46W, stable
340 - 50, 43, 1.2, 56W, stable

390 - 52.5, 46, 1.2, 2% hw errors

So, no reason to complain...

I have order 386 that is "processing", form this thread I can see that people with order numbers much higher have already received their boards. I decided to stay with burnin and not withdraw my order because I thought it would go fast and smooth.
On top of that I've sent a lot of e-mails and received not even one reply.

Which chip batch were you in? I was in zefir batch and 3 and got my bitburner XX this week. Remember orders were sorted by pay date, not order placement date, so order #s might not be in order. I think order # was set before payment.

They were also sorted by batch #, i.e. whichever batch arrived first got produced first. Shouldn't be to many batches left though.

Thats strange. Maybe try firmware upgrade in case an old one is running. Are both boards powered the same way? Maybe try changing the power cable from one to another just in case its the cable or the output from psu for that cable is broken. But when it works when you use it with 2 usb-cables instead stacked then i dont know whats the reason.

Zefir batch 3, Burnin order #6xx. Still processing, this thread is making me think my order is at the end of the line? I didnt think so

My batch 3 was just under #400. 7/23 I think was the date on invoice. I recall logging in to register and pay as quickly as I could when I saw he web site was up. (Maybe 2nd day? Not sure.)

Got my tracking notice, a bit late, but it should arrive today.

I just realized I have no CAN bus cable, but only two bitburners anyway.

The question is, how do I set up CGminer when I am actually connecting two of the bitburners via USB?

I've got 4 BTB XX, each one connected directly via USB cable and this works fine:

"--avalon-options 115200:2:10:32:400 --avalon-auto --queue 4 --bitburner-voltage 1230"

btw., I'm not able to oc more than this

Is this connection variation alright if I use only one power cable? That is, connecting two boards with two usb cables but only one power cable, "sharing" the supply?

Hey burnin,

Are you still planning to refund me? My emails don't seem to reach you, and I don't see anyone else talking about refunds so I thought I'd bring it up right here. I paid you 30~BTC, and all my chips are refunded. Let's talk. I'm sick of waiting.
 

[alle.sello]

I still waiting for Order #489 — 2013/07/23 .
For me Burnin = SCAM

[Schrankwand]

Burnin,

You have 240 of my chips from Zefir batch 3, which still shows up as 'Processing'. I emailed you several times and gave me vague responses as to when my boards would be assembled. I would like to have my order refunded and my 240 chips shipped to me ASAP, because unfortunately you cannot hold your timeline. I understand the Avalon debacle screwed you over, but now you are screwing those of us with incomplete orders. My patience has dried up, I placed an order on 7/31 and no updates to it since then. I applaud your efforts and congrats to everyone who got their units, but at this rate, I will not accept assembly that is already a month behind and already 3-month behind schedule. Thanks for trying at least.

The assembly as far as we know is already finished. Now, it is up to packaging, which is handled through packlink.

[pazor]

order 665 fullfilled
i received today my two bitburner XX
everything works fine

thank you burnin, kano and all developers and workers!
