Hi,
this forum is my last hope, it would be great if someone could help me. My baikal giant A900 stopped working afer a electricity cut during a thunderstorm. That was 3 days ago and since then the miner doesn't work anymore. Blue lights won't stop flashing and in the interface it says miner is up but no devices running.
I already tried to flash the latest image for sd card "PiOne_4G_V3.3_170605". Doesn't help. I also connected the orange pi to a monitor and it shows "failed to set cpu frequency to 1536 mhz" and also "cannot enable port 1 maybe the usb cable is bad". The PSU is alright but I also checked with another one, no change. So I think that maybe the sd card image is bad. Does someone have another image for the giant? I also was looking for the firmware of the miner, but I can only find the baikal mini one.
Thanks.
Hi, does someone have the firmware for Giant A900? I would like to reflash it. I also contacted Baikal Support, they told me that the problem maybe is something called MCU burn. Sounds to me like some kind of short circuit but I'm not sure. Miner doesn't work for 10 days now. Luckily I have my Giant+ working fine but it sucks anyway.

Thanks Lafu but I've already tried this. Baikal Support told me again to return the miner. They think MCU Chip has burned and that it is a hardware damage. I think I will return it.

Interesting. Can you ask them if it's possible to replace the MCU with an off the shelf replacement?

Hi, everybody. I have few Baikal Giant+ miners. One of them stopped working smth about 1 month ago. Blue leds are blinking permanently and I dont see it ip address. What I tried: 1. Moved OPI to another part (change master and slave). 2. Changed OPI to new one 3. Flash image to sd from healthy Baikal No result. Few questions: 1. Is it correct image for me https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B1GBwN5-i39VRzNQS28tWlpsTVk ? 2. Is there any possibility to connect OPI Zero to monitor, so I can see how OS is booting? Thanks.

Good morning
I have three Baikal Machines A Baikal Giant A900 Dash Miner A Baikal Quadruple 600MH / s Dash Miner And a single BAIKAL MINER ASIC 150Mh / s
I have some doubts to clarify:
First question can all be connected in series with blade cables? If so how should the sequence be?
In the Baikal A900 there are 4 power plugs just one for Lama or all 4 must be connected What changes in many movies I see connected only two one for the blade.
Second question how can i understand which firmware version is installed on my tabs to see if you need to update them?
And how do I figure out what image I have in the SD of my Baikal?
I know that only on the Baikal A900 I have the Mail Alert Manager but immaigne is not the same for everyone? Can I also enable it on the Baikal 150 and the Quadruple 600? Confirm me that this is the latest PiOne_4G_V3.3_170605.img image
I have an SD 8 and even 16GB in the home so I have no problems if image is it bigger there are more up-to-date and complete images that I can use?
I also wanted to change the host name if they entered putty but baikal baikal does not have root permissions which user should I use to modify the files for the host name?
Last question is not clear how I can control it remotely can anyone speculate how to do it?
Thank you

I have been trying and searching for days....had the no devices running error. Used the new v3.3_4gb image, and changed the ports of the cables. And it worked. So changing the USB cable from one blade to the other might work for some of you. https://www.eastshore.xyz/tutorial-baikal-giant-a900-x11-miner-900mh-217w-dash-miner/^^This guide was very helpful (nothing really technical there but it worked) Hope it helps anyone. My miner is running like new again (Giant A900)

Thanks then PiOne_4G_V3.3_170605.img is the latest version for the A900 E Baikal Mini exact? But did any of you configure and understand coem activate remote baikal management? in the setting menu Remote control Private key

I have the same problem too so I wondered if there are more up-to-date images of PiOne_4G_V3.3_170605.img Also I would like to understand why the manual is not explained how to create remote management and private keys and if somehow you can change the host name with baikal user i can not do it i would use a root user to modify in raspian host name. @baikal
Thank you

Hi, just to give you an update. My Giant is working again for some weeks now. What worked for me is to clean the whole boards with isopropyl alcohol. This worked for me when repairing my old smartphone and it helped here too. After cleaning I let it alone for some days and it worked again. I don't know if the isopropyl was the solution or if it would have worked anyway, but you can give it a try. But earnings are very, very low with the giant now and I'm not sure if it's worth bothering with it anymore.

Thx for answer, but my 2 A900 works fine, just 1 of it does not see one of the blades when I(pool) change the algorithm from 11 to any other or from 13 to 11 and the same... i donno why. And its only on 1 A900, second A900 works fine with this situation.

Even I have the same problem the car has no physical problems Only if you change protocol often suffers if you use nicehash often one of the blades remains idle Succeeds also with the @baikal 600 but most often with the giant 900 Baikal is far from updating images and the firmware for these products I think we feel a bit abandoned we hope they will continue to develop these products and soon create a firmware or SD image which solves this problem. I also have difficulty remote control because I'm behind a non-public IP and there is nothing left for remote control of baikal without having to use it a common PC I did not understand how the Private key in Remote control is generated And how this part works. Thank you

I didn't have to do enable-nicehashsma: true
for some weird reason it started working on its own.. and all the pools are alive now with nicehash.

A few hours ago I followed the advice and set my baikal with option enable-nicehashsma: true
I did not have the problem of the dead pool I had only happened a few times
But now that I have enabled this parameter I see that actually now often change the protocol now for example they are all on X13 and is actually having more profit than before who was standing with the Quark protocol
So actually it's a good thing to enable and add option enable-nicehashsma: true In this way our Baikal if we work with nicehash minions always on the most profitable protocol at the moment.
Control this option enabled for a few days so I understand if it actually helps

sometimes I use enable-nicehshsma is very helpful but I more often do manually to add options because more thorough but enable enable-nicehshsma is very helpful to do in a job in a solid time
