How's it going? Do you have our mailing addresses, Lucko? I can't even remember if we did that anymore.
Yes I have... It is hard to say since I don't know why only in first 20 boards I detected problems... But MrTeal did find a way to make even problematic boards to hash so it might be best to make all boards and see if any needs fix. Next week MrTeal will build phase 2 outside the board to see if that solves the problem... Soon you will also hear from thus who risk and got boards. Generally you can't use CGminer since it crashes if board crash but BFGminer recovers and when board finish restarting it start using it again... So it is posible to run more boards from single computer. With CG you are limited since if one crashes you need to start it up again and if one crashes you need to restart it again and so on... It is hard to be lucky enough... So if anyone else would like me to make his boards let me know... |

Boards have not yet arrived (tracking says out for delivery) Another quick fix is to have multiple copies of BFGminer running. If a board crashes, just delete it from the miner, then start a new session of BFG and re-capture the board. Mind you, 20 sessions of BFG running on one PC will use up a lot of internet bandwidth and processor. |

O I see... I was hoping this will not be a case... But they do report in news about it so it is big... Delay - Weather Conditions. Delivery At 1st Opportunity Mind you, 20 sessions of BFG running on one PC will use up a lot of internet bandwidth and processor.
Just use single one... It works... |

Weather is a problem, our road into the village was under 600mm of seawater for about 3 hours around mid day.(the back road is not well known) https://www.dropbox.com/s/lca8q8sl8npbrsh/2013-12-05%2012.44.30.jpg This was 2 weeks ago and only 300mm deep The multi BFG is only used as a fix for errant boards, It saves disconnecting the ones that run well. |

Hello Lucko,
my 10 boards arrived this day. Thank you.
Don't forget to send me the bitcoin address and how much I should pay.
I'm active in freenodes #bitcoin-de channel for questions.
I've send you my nickname via mail. Send me the wallet address where
I should send the bitcoins by email.
Cheers...

Also received today mines, thanks Lucko, At this moment i try to put first one at work but resets at 27 GHs and 32 ºC. Bfgminner have restarted board many times but until now without results. Tomorrow i will install remaining boards and see what are the results. Regards |

It was not on dropbox at that time so no... Link didn't work... Also received today mines, thanks Lucko,

I was sure I didn't send any of thus out but it looks like I did a mistake because I'm missing one... I will send you another can you send this one back... I probably made a mistake when randomizing boards for sending... |

Lucko,
out of my own curiosity. Have you seen a difference in board performance and behavior between the 1st gen chips and the 2nd gen (shinny) chips I sent you?
And no, I don't want my boards yet please get to the source of the problem first!
Mr Teal, if you read this I hope you can finally find the source of the (design/software/component) problem.
Thx

They don't have a problem with engine 0 they need more power and act differently at low voltage... So theoretical max without overclocking is 4,5 not 4,2... |

Ok, I have the same issue here now with the first 3 boards. The others are not completed, yet because of missing coolers, which should arrives over the day. The messages looks like the same as is described on Mr. Teals forum a a result of high performers. With 119, 121 they are not really high performers, the third with 126 looks like more that.

Here the LED 2 an 4 are on, 7 is blinking ~4Hz.

After a while more left 6 are blinking randomly for a second and then all are going off. Now it looks like the board has to been reset. Then I can restart bfgminer. It looks like really the problems comes from the power rails. I didn't cool the FETS active by a fan any more at the moment so the fet temp rises 45 °C which limits the vcore <1.1 V. So flashing to 1.1V limit could be solve the problem. Block: ...6cb9f38a #278547 Diff:1.42G (10.15Ph/s) Started: [10:02:38]

At the moment so I guess do not blow the power fets. This will limit also the voltage and is a work around. Also the other one could I fix by removing the fan to blow the fets, too :-/ Cheers... |

It was not on dropbox at that time so no... Link didn't work... The link for the modified firmware is up now. He has a link to it on the first page of his thread with the other firmware links. https://www.dropbox.com/s/rfa4kuigov99sg8/Chili14e1v1.hexworks again it was down |

At the moment so I guess do not blow the power fets. This will limit also the voltage and is a work around. Also the other one could I fix by removing the fan to blow the fets, too :-/ Cheers... You have too good chips. You need limiter firmware... I would put it on but it was not available at the time. You can upload that with https://www.dropbox.com/s/xpccbhfkbpinov8/ChiliFlash.exe https://www.dropbox.com/s/rfa4kuigov99sg8/Chili14e1v1.hexBlinking 7 light means that board is cooling off and waiting to start selftest. Blinking 7 and 8 means selftest... if anyone else would like me to make his boards let me know...
Go ahead and make mine please. Thanks. Go ahead and make mine Lucko. Go ahead and make mine as well. I'm curious if you ever tried the modified firmware that limits the voltage to 1.1v, if so what were your results? One of my received board acheived 39.2 during 1 minute then stop responding: I flashed 1.1V firmware and now got 36GHs stable board Regards Yes that is same thing... It can go over 20A per chips at this speed... And power supply is only 160A with cooling... |
