If it works: thanks. Will try tomorrow. Anyone tested it?

well done!
it's working, but what are the options now?

Now black sheep can enter the miner and do stuff 
I myself will try to find the miner configuration and just look if you can mess around a bit. Maybe cronjob for autoreboot for the guys who have the problem that after a given time, the miner hangs. Hmm.. what else? If there are some more professional people, maybe they can tune it even more.

Looks like there operators are responsible for performance tuning:

The password for what?

[wKiV7378U]

who wants to be brave and attempt some commands? 

[wKiV7378U]

so i tried ./cgminer --A1Fanspd 20   and it turned my fan speed to 100%, disconnected from the pool....i think you need to run cgminer with the entire commandset in order for proper operation.

[TrueCryptoMiner]

who wants to be brave and attempt some commands? 

Give me some.
I putty'd in to one of my devices

[wKiV7378U]

Reading through the miner log file, the A9 reads the config file in /etc/cgminer.conf  to load all the config settings

The A9 has 3 cards, it seems default PLL clock speed is set to 1250MHz and Voltage is set to 166 (not sure what that actually is in volts, maybe 1.66V?) .

Anyways, we need to edit that .conf file to contain the parameters we want instead...currently it looks like this for me:

Code:

{
    "pools": [
        {
            "url": "stratum+tcp://....",
            "user": "....",
            "pass": "x"
        }
    ],
    "api-listen": true,
    "api-port": "4028",
    "api-allow": "R:0/0,W:127.0.0.1",
    "T1performance": true
}

I think we can do this edit the file to do say something like this to increase PLL to 1300, and Voltage to 175...(WARNING: i dont know if these work or what happens when you do this):

Code:

{
    "pools": [
        {
            "url": "stratum+tcp://....",
            "user": "....",
            "pass": "x"
        }
    ],
    "api-listen": true,
    "api-port": "4028",
    "api-allow": "R:0/0,W:127.0.0.1",
    "noauto": true,
    "T1Pll": 1300,
    "T2Pll": 1300,
    "T3Pll": 1300,
    "T1VID": 175,
    "T2VID": 175,
    "T3VID": 175,
    "A1Fanspd": 30,
    "A1Fanmode": 1
}

Not sure if Fanmode needs to be 0 or 1 here...

Also, you can edit the api-allow ip address to include your local host if you want to use Awesome Miner software now!

anyone want to try and report back?



EDIT:: seems this is a read only file system??  i guess we will need to run the cgminer command directly?

[wKiV7378U]

Someone try this command:

Code:

./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://pool:3333 -u worker.1 -p x --T1Pll1 1300 --T1Pll2 1300 --T1Pll3 1300 --noauto

replace with your pool worker name. password.

This should set PLL clocks to 1300mhz


Warning: I tried this and I dont think it worked...my miner ended up resetting back to defaults, including IP address and default mining pool.  BE CAREFUL!

So I tried the following config:

    "noauto": true,
    "T1Pll": 1300,
    "T2Pll": 1300,
    "T3Pll": 1300

and the miner log still showed it didnt go past 1250 PLL:
