100% Hardware errors.
All others run at 220 and 216 straight. Other chip is declared sick fast, then declared dead and then off within an hour.
The broken chip does not even bring a single piece of work though. I bought it broken and knew it, I was just thinking about a few options that might not have been considered yet. I did reflash and get the code running, however it seems that the FPGA chips cannot be configured one by one, is that right?
For a reparation request please use the contact form http://www.ztex.de/contact.e.htmlIf you bought it broken I wold charge a fee if it can be repaired successfully. |

In order to get the maximum amount of activity points possible, you just need to post once per day on average. Skipping days is OK as long as you maintain the average.

Yes, the version 2 of the board, is it sensing the die temperature? The board temperature near the FPGA? Does it somehow sense the temperature of the heat sink?
Temperature sensors IC16 to IC19 (see schematics) are placed on the PCB near the FPGA. The measure a mixture between PCB temperature and air temperature below the heat sink. It's not an exact science but this sensors can detect overheating of the heat sink as well as improper installed heat sink (heat sink cold, PCB hot). |

From the design I believe it is a chinese rip off copy of your boards, actually. So I would not take your service for repairing a ripoff board here  Would you also repair one of those for a fee? I would first supply with you better data though, before making a decision. |

Since your boards don't feature large USB rack connectors, I would argue it is a clone Do you have any ideas what I could do to check without repairs? |

Set -oh to 0.7 or higher in the BTCMiner start code. It will then shut down later. I know that S. does not recommend doing this but since it's a clone you should give it a try. Once the bad chip fails, hit control C, restart and repeat over and over again. If you are lucky it keeps hanging and will then mine fine at a lower frequency. Sounds like cgminer. Try BTCminer for this one board. Gives you more information when the chip goes out. Here you go: 2013-06-19T16:01:30:

Turbor, thanks for the idea. I have done this already with CGminer, since cgminer clocks down continuously, it declares "Dead" only somewhere at below 120mhz usually and shuts it off.

Do not forget to check the heatsink sits correctly and that there is a good connection between the chip and heatsink (thermal paste!). And if you accidentally shorted parts with that paste (if conductive) Unstable powersupply and cheap hubs do their part too! Did you reset the board by using JP 1 (hardware reset) and reprogrammed the bitstream again? |

Asking for JP1, by the way, is another way to spot a clone: JP1 has no connector pins on the clones. Funny. I will short it with a paperclip to reach my goal then. No jumper here  I had reprogrammed the Bitstream before using fwloader, but I might try it and do it again after circumventing EEPROM as in the manual. Looking at the heatsinks, I might perform some changes here as well and exchange whatever is in there (looks like Heatpads, ugh...) with some Arctic Cooling mx-2 paste. But considering that the other chips run nicely, I believe that one of the Chips might have gotten damaged through improper heating. It can happen with these thermal pads. |

Ztex puts a waring leaflet in the packets that says: "Do not use the provided heat pads. USe thermal paste instead!") |

I can confirm that an FPGA Board with the MAC address "0004a36dd5f2" was not produced by ZTEX.
The FPGA delivers wrong results from start-up. It's no overheating issue (but may be a defect caused by overheating). Probably the only thing you can "repair" by yourself are shortcuts, e.g. caused by electrical conductive thermal grease or metal (solder) remnants.

I'm having an issue with the FPGA Module 1.15y, getting a no devices found.
I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 off a thumb drive and I've downloaded the SDCC and BTCMiner. I've installed the SDCC and I got the openjdk-7-jre package through apt-get. Last night I was trying to figure it out and I had the LEDs on the board all flashing, but was getting no devices found. Today they aren't flashing, but I'm still getting no devices found when I run
sudo java -cp ZtexBTCMiner-121126.jar BTCMiner -host[hostinfo] -u[userinfo] -p[password]
This is my first experience trying to mine from command line... kudos to you all that know what you're doing, because I feel like I have no idea what's going on.

BTCMiner with '-i' produces no connected devices.
Edit: I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 on an iMac, booting and running Linux from a flash drive. I downloaded the .jar from ztex - am I missing something? Should the fans automatically kick on when I plug it in? Should the LEDs flash?

The Fans should run and the LEDs should be on (Green). If they are configured they are off.
Did you follow the guide on the Ztex homepage?
Is your hub powered?
Is it a brand or a cheap one? (Same for the Cable)
Did you install the right libusb (cgminer and BTCMiners are different)

All I really saw on their page ( http://www.ztex.de/btcminer/) was "All files required are packed into a single jar archive which can be downloaded from the download section and runs under Linux and Windows," which I downloaded and ran the command they supplied while in the folder. I have the newest Java, but I'm not sure how you 'install' libusb exactly, unless there's more than the apt-get command. I think the board is faulty though, I couldn't get it to even made the LEDs come on when I plugged it in, and none of the fans kicked on. |

To run mine i need 12V 5A at least (laptop grade). But the printout displays nothing like mine so the board is not recognized..... Could be USB, could be Power issues.... Do you have a computer at your place with a normal atx power supply and a spare 5,25 Molex (or anything else that has yellow and black cables <12V, Neutral>). Then you could provide the board with power over the proprietary connector (mine are black and i think the fake ztex boards do have a green one). There is a tutorial on the ztex page. |

Mine is also 12v 5a laptop power supply, and no, I don't have anything like that, I run mostly Apple products.
I think the board is defective, and the seller agreed to supply me with a new one, so I'll see then I guess.

Rpi is not handling Ztex miners very well.
I tried but the pi failed (one or multiple units) after some random time.
Has something to do with the integrated USB....
i have 4 1.15b running on a pi and its solid as a rock... |
