same thing again, well not exactly. total timeout on 53:2:950 or 53:2:850 but works 53:2:850 HW0.83% av 18,9Gh/s . the voltage and the oscillator not resetting?

Was the firmware updated to the latest version? |

So what happened to these 16 chip Avalon boards that were supposed to be ready end of Feb?
Anyone heard a word from Barntech on any topic lately?
He has kind of abandoned the community both here and on the drillbit forums for most of the year.

Correct me if I'm wrong but there is no way the Avalon boards are gonna ROI unless they are like 50 bucks a piece.
It's just outdated technology and the difficulty keeps going up.

Barntech's post from 26Feb at http://drillbitsystem.com/forum/index.php?topic=285.15 mentions a 3 week delay. |

They might break even at about USD130 (if you have free electricity). |

Was the firmware updated to the latest version? yup something/12/2013 There were 2 firmware updates in 12/2013, the first one on 11/12/2013 and a later one on 17/12/2013. You may want to reflash the latest one (I know, it's probably a pain, as you need to do it on a PC with the serial comms driver (like the one used for BFGminer), not the USB driver used by cgminer).

Cheers yup done eight_firmware_20131217 already. powered down unplug usb, power on usb plugged in.... even went as far as to reload windows drivers, other pc same results. been hashing on 53:2:850 now for 29hours or so (19 -20 Gh/s) tried 53:2:950 but still getting asci timeouts |

What mining software are you using? (I stayed with cgminer 3.10.0 for the drillbit8, as my results with bfgminer were not as good). Cheers |

did a few test and anything with :950 produces asic timeouts
53:2:750 14.4Gh/s
53:2:850 20.25Gh/s HE 1.2%
52:2:850 20.3 HE 1.13%
53:2:750 13.44Gh/s
54:2:850 20.39Gh/s HE3.9%
55:2:850 13.07Gh/s HE35%
