Overall I am very happy with this blade. Today, however, I noticed it restarted itself for no reason. This was after hashing perfectly at 13,000 mh/s for the last 3 days or so. Is that normal? It restarted and is slowly working its way back up to 13,000 mh/s again on Slush's pool. Should I be concerned?

This is heat based.
It happens even on low clocks and with a large box fan blowing very cool air at the blades. I don't think it's heat based. In fact, after further testing, they still reboot at the same time even when connected to different proxies/pools. It's just not likely that two blades with overkill cooling are overheating & locking up every ASIC chip at the exact same time. it's next to impossible, really. Furthermore, if it were heat based, I'm sure i'd get much less than an hour out of them after the reboot.

If it lasted 3 days then its neither heat nor power. Its just a bug, hence friedcat offering the new power delivery and network boards for stability.

I noticed some weird behaviour today with my blade. I am running stratum proxy on bitparking to feed my blade. Today the pool went down and my gpu miners running cgminer switched to its backup pool, where the blade just stayed on the proxy with 0mhs and resetting every 2 minutes. It does have a backup pool set up and the switch server button makes the blade work fine on the second pool, but this did not happen automatically. Anyone know how this can be fixed? It seems like whatever algorithm cgminer uses to switch pools is better than what the blade has built in. Is there any way to update the firmware or any of the parameters? This is what stratum proxy is showing while the blade is trying to get work: Unhandled error in Deferred: Unhandled Error Traceback (most recent call last): File "twisted\web\server.pyo", line 156, in process

Same was to my blade today ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

Were you guys all using BitParking? I had some rigs mining on BitParking (yeah still waiting for my Blade here), and I noticed that ALL shares started being rejected (was using stratum, up but rejecting all, while I think getwork was down). For example cgminer can handle this with the --disable-reject command line switch. Your stack trace doesn't imply the same problem (timeout != rejecting), and I don't know if it related or not at all. But the timing seems coherent. About (native) stratum support, does anyone here know if that would be possible with a future firmware update? Or does the stratum protocol require some non-trivial processing that can't be done by the embedded system? I know running a stratum proxy is no big deal, I'm already doing it, but native is just... better, isn't it? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Yes it was bitparking, and there was two stages to the failure, first with all the shares being rejected then when the pool was down. The whole time the blade stayed on the stratum proxy pointed to bitparking instead of going to the backup pool like cgminer did. I hope there is some way to update the firmware to help with this issue. I dont want to be babysitting this thing 24/7, it should switch pools automatically.

Happened to me on Slush's pool. I'm pretty sure it's a bug in the blade as I've let it fail numerous times with the same results.

I have 4 blades, in latest setup [OP] they've never restarted themselves once where I haven't unplugged them to reset them manually. Longest stint was 5 days before I changed settings.

While you are here friedcat, are you able to enlighten us on the new revision of ethernet and power delivery boards we will eventually receive. 1) Why have you designed a revision, what is likely to improve? 2) Will you be rolling it out on all your blades already hashing away or just new installs? 3) Can we have another hashing board with them, seems a shame to have perfectly good ethernet and power delivery boards without a friend ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) 1) Mainly for longevity and stability. 2) Just for new installs. 3) Yes. But you need to pay for the hashing board according to the price at that moment. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) 4) What sort of time frame for the new network + power boards, are we talking weeks, months, 6 months etc? 5) And for the batch 1 hashing boards? 6) Are those hashing boards going to be any different or just a tiny revision? What will be changed? 7) I won't live at the address I had my 4 blades shipped to much longer, will you ask us all for new info or just ship to original addresses? If so, I'm screwed ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

I've documented this troubleshooting with WinTame2012 on my blade, especially if I'm running 2 proxies on the same IP address even with different ports specified.

I'm also running two proxies at the same time, but I dont think it has anything to do with the proxy. Cgminer was connected to the same proxy and was able to change to its backup pool, but the asicminer blade didnt.

I'm only using the Blade so I have no way of cross-checking, but from your description it stops me from yelling at the proxies after a week ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

All X's
"Hashrate turns to zero and all "x": Either the power module is broken or the whole blade has some problems. If you bought more than one blades. Try using other functional ones' power module to test if it becomes OK. If so please ask us to send you a new power module. If not, please return it back and we will send you a new one (we cover the shipping fee)."
this just happened to me
what can I do, " Either the power module is broken or the whole blade has some problems." both of these seems like problems I can neither troubleshoot or fix
is friedcat going to send me a new blade, or a new power module or ... what
I'm guessing a lot of time will be lost here
should I turn it off immediately? confused here

Check your cabling, might have fried.

If your PSU provides good voltage (check) and cabling is ok, try to reset control unit to defaults.
