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.

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!

    "T2Pll": 1300,
    "T3Pll": 1300
