I have a full rig populated and am trying to figure out how to get this thing mining. I can log into the ip address using my laptop via the bitfury admin page and set the pools address along with my username and password. However when I hit start mining, nothing happens. If I look at my screen hooked up to the raspberry pi, it asks for a login and password. I think the raspberry pi doesn't like my sidewinder x4 Microsoft keyboard has it constantly looks to have a stuck key. Not to mention when I try to type a password, nothing shows. It makes typing on this keyboard quite difficult. I'm thinking I might need to pick up a basic keyboard.
Anyone have a good how to setup link
We seem to be suffering from the same problem. I think it's an issue with the firmware not being installed correctly. However, I'm not sure how to fix it yet. RE: heatsinks.. I'm positive its not the temperatures. I have a large box fan on them and the temp in the room is about 73 degrees... I have a 20k BTU A/C to help keep things cool.

I got my unit running with bfgminer, the only thing I could get chainminer to do was output
"M-Board version 2 detected INIT: 256 chips detected"
Now I'm having issues with bfgminer outputting this, and the hashrate dropping.

Not only did mine need that heat sink on the regulator on both sides but I found that if I covered the entire exposed part on the back they worked even better. I bought small heatsinks so they dont touch the traces.

.stat.log doesn't exist because chainminer isn't working right, not the other way around. Try running chainminer directly like this, to see if it gives any explanation for not working: sudo killall -q miner ; cd /run/shm ; sudo /opt/bitfury/chainminer/miner
Thanks. Turns out I had a few problems; 1) miner was not built. 2) so far 1 bad hboard out of 32.

Guys how much would it cost per board to manufacture and assemble the H-boards in quantity of 100? I am thinking of getting it done in the USA, since H-boards are not available and only chips are available

If it's running, then; cat /run/shm/.stat.log Looks like my second M-board no workie. Fuck. Troubleshooting continues...

I am thinking of getting it done in the USA, since H-boards are not available and only chips are available +1 The PCB layout is simple enough, someone here made an 8-chip h-board and shared the design. They had it manufactured by oshpark.com Easy enough to hand solder.

I am thinking of decoupling the voltage regulator from the PCB since it causes so much overheating issues. It will reduce board BOM and hopefully faster turnaround by PCB manufacturer. I am planning to use multiples of this regulator since the output can be paralleled (~$55 e.a.) http://www.intersil.com/en/tools/reference-designs/isl8225meval3z.htmla) Order chips ($25 ea on megabigpower.com) b) Order decoupling capacitors for ASICs c) Get PCB made and assembled by the PCB company (only solder ASIC + decoupling caps. No need to solder voltage regulator section) d) Order Voltage regulators e) Test assembled cards f) Mine g) If successful, sell to interested parties

That's $400 for the ASICs alone. And I think it's generally expected when MGP and BFSB started selling H boards again they're going to have to price them at less than $300 per board or they'll generate very little interest.

you sure not use BGFMINER and not working well with Hboards.

That's happened to me with chainminer before. I just rebooted the rPi or restarted chainminer until it worked. Also, be patient, sometimes it takes a minute or two to get past that point.

OK, I can manually run chainminer with this: sudo killall -q miner ; cd /run/shm ; sudo /opt/bitfury/chainminer/miner But all I get is "INIT: 64 chips detected" (after I compiled) What's next? chamber32 EDIT: I got it to work by deleting existing chainminer & cloning & making a new copy

Your errors overkill more than 50% and if you are not going to run 850W with 2 full kits.
Swapped out the PSU for a Corsair AX1200. Chainminer runs fine for a little bit, then a few boards start dropping down to 0GH/s. BFGMiner is a fail spamming all sorts of nastiness. *sigh* Very frustrating These guys are finicky Have some big-ass fans keeping them cool, so I can't imagine they are overheating Room is 76C. Below you can see the few boards that are starting to reach 0GH after starting strong. speed:13568 noncerate[GH/s]:452.817 (1.769/chip) hashrate[GH/s]:478.766 good:25514 errors:3816 spi-err:8 miso-err:10 duplicates:505 jobs:230 cores:12% good:256 bad:0 off:0 (best[GH/s]:0.000) Tue Nov 12 01:47:09 2013 board-2 speed nrate hrate good errors spi-err miso-er duplic good bad off per chip good cores 0: 848 33.987 35.587 1915 35 0 1 0 16 0 0 (2.124/chip) 15% 1: 848 10.737 10.941 605 352 0 2 25 16 0 0 (0.671/chip) 5% 2: 848 12.051 14.112 679 139 0 1 16 16 0 0 (0.753/chip) 5% 3: 848 35.212 36.216 1984 220 2 0 39 16 0 0 (2.201/chip) 15% 4: 848 19.398 19.969 1093 255 0 2 77 16 0 0 (1.212/chip) 9% 5: 848 31.343 33.884 1766 100 0 0 2 16 0 0 (1.959/chip) 13% 6: 848 32.745 36.754 1845 128 0 0 1 16 0 0 (2.047/chip) 14% 7: 848 19.540 19.864 1101 327 0 1 55 16 0 0 (1.221/chip) 9% 8: 848 34.395 36.531 1938 119 0 0 0 16 0 0 (2.150/chip) 15% 9: 848 33.827 35.627 1906 43 1 0 0 16 0 0 (2.114/chip) 15% A: 848 34.697 36.334 1955 50 1 0 0 16 0 0 (2.169/chip) 15% B: 848 35.229 36.334 1985 4 0 0 0 16 0 0 (2.202/chip) 15% C: 848 34.910 35.456 1967 13 1 0 0 16 0 0 (2.182/chip) 15% D: 848 31.343 33.674 1766 905 1 1 177 16 0 0 (1.959/chip) 14% E: 848 32.017 35.365 1804 148 1 0 0 16 0 0 (2.001/chip) 14% F: 848 21.386 22.118 1205 978 1 2 113 16 0 0 (1.337/chip) 10%

Xian, turn down the voltage by turning the trimpots to the left on those cards

BFGMiner has been running for 35 minutes now, might have been a heat issue. Its cold outside now and I leave the window in the server room open.
The 1 dead H-board is still dead tho. I might try immersion cooling after it gets RMA'd
