Guys I have a question about the H-board.

Where can I download the H-board layout file? I am trying to get one manufactured.

Thanks

Okay I got it working. The only problem I got now is that I can only get bank number 1-11 working. I have 12 plugged in. but only 11 looks to be working.
I’m have a problem running the rig when I have all 16 h boards plugged in. it would just power up and shut off. But when I remove 4 (left with 12) it would power on and I would be able to hash. However it would only hash with 11 boards. i've also notice that after hashing for about 20min or so, some of the h boards stop hashing. only 4 would be hashing still and the rest would stop. why is that?

Any idea on how to fix this problem.

i doubt that its the psu. but i could be wrong. my psu is 700w and 570w towards 12v. i have 2 pci-e cables on the psu.
if you think its the psu. please direct me to the right place to buy the right psu.

That PSU is definitely insufficient, because it is multi-rail and has low per-rail limits. Even if the two cables are on separate rails, you can only pull ~400W from them before you exceed the PSU's specs on those.

Go get a high-quality single-rail PSU with at least 700W on the 12V rail.

Here's a good one for $90 if you don't need it to be modular: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182073
I try to find ones that get good reviews from JonnyGuru or HardOCP.

Hi! I download the raspberry pi image from the first post https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/43738391/2013-Sep-27_BFSB_GM2.rar and write it to SD. Now how can I connect to Rpi? What is the default IP in this image?

mboard is v3.0
Ok there is 16  factory overclocked board. I think PSU can't handle that much.
First set speed on all boards to 52
Login to Pi and do command

Code:
rm /opt/bitfury/best.cnf ; for i in {1..256} ; do echo -e "$i\taIfDSo\t52" >> /opt/bitfury/best.cnf ; done

1 - After that try run with 12 boards for test for 30 min.
2 - If no hash drop, shutdown miner and add 1 more board.
3 - Make test.
Repeat for max board count working stable.

I strongly suggest decrease voltage on all boards. Turn little pot near Pulse inductor on Hboards counterclockwise about a quarter turn or so.

I think the software takes the network address and replaces the last number by 249, so if your network is 192.168.11.x your bitfury will be 192.168.11.249.

You can probably get a list of clients by browsing to your access point ip address.

I am selling in stock OneStringMiner boards, based on the Bitfury chips. Have a look here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=495536.0

It uses dhcp and gets the first free ip from your router/switch... just look it up in your router or switch.

I would also recommend the following if your hash rate is fluctuating wildly using automatic settings, it definitely stabilized my rate!
(I'm only running 4 boards, so I didn't change voltage settings.)

Thanks GandalfG!

all of a sudden got a dead rig.

i can ssh in but don't get the normal log printout on login nor can i call up a stat.log.  raspi has green, red, yellow lights as normal but 0 hashing.  tried rebooting to no avail.

Had same problem. In my case there was two burned boards. Remove all boards except one in each bus, try again. If it work add one board by one.
In my case two boards was burned.

that doesn't even work even with diff h boards in the first slot.  still can ssh in but no stat.log.  can still access BF GUI but 0 hashing.

does this imply a defective M board?

1 - start Chainminer manually sudo /opt/bitfury/start-miner-console.sh and check log.
2 - Try other SDcard and RasPi
3 - Check 1V8  and 3V3 on M-Board - You can measure 1V8 on coil L01 and 3V3  pin 1 Raspberry socked.

well there you go.  bad sd card.

need to copy image over to bad card.  

by running this:

Code:
dd if=/dev/sdx of=/path/to/image bs=1M


how do i determine what sdx and /path/to/image is in Ubuntu?

this is what lsblk returns:

Code:
sr0                    11:0    1  1024M  0 rom   
mmcblk0               179:0    0   3.7G  0 disk
