Canaan Avalon 1047 reset / connect to PC / PSU not starting problems

[jamiemirror]

Hi,
I bought several used miners Canaan Avalon 1047 and I'm facing several different problems, maybe somebody have more experience with them:

1. Some PSUs don't even start. Is there some known issue to check first?
2. On some the PSU is working, then I see them connected to the network hub but no DHCP working (no IP assigned, just device attached to 100MBps port of the network hub).
The miner's board is blinking white-yellow-green-red-red-red-red and again.
Tried to reset them with FUNC, pressing for more than 10 seconds at start - result is blinking white. But after the restart the same happens again - no IP assigned, no access to the miner and blinking white-yellow-green-red-red-red-red and again.
Tried to connect laptop via LAN cable (straight one) directly to the miner, no network hub. Configured the laptop network as specified to IP 192.168.168.100 and tried to access 192.168.168.168 (the miner in setup mode). Not successful.

I need to set them to DHCP operation in my network, how this can be done - how can I put them in factory default?

PS: there is no 12V to the hashboards (yet), but with no network set on miner probably this is normal.

It seems that the PSU you received is dead usually due to delivery without care.

About "no IP assigned" can you try to use the reset"RST" button instead hold them for 15 seconds then release. After that try to scan the IP again and access the IP through the browser in incognito mode.

If not work try to use the software provided from canaan.io from here https://canaan.io/service/447 the name of the app is "FMS" download it and install and let's hope it can detect your units.

Still have problems to reset the miner to factory default.
Using the method from Canaan I was able to put the machine in fixed 192.168.168.168 IP, this means service mode. But I can't still access it via web browser, only can ping and detect with network scanners.

Is there also a way to re-flash the board?

[BitMaxz]

I can't find any on Google that you can force to flash it. It seems that you can only flash it through the browser.

Can you disassemble the unit and take a picture of your control board. I just want to know the control board name so that we can use it to search for ways to flash it.

Or try to access it with the telnet command.

Here's the command.

Code:

telnet 192.168.168.168

Or use any SSH tool to access that IP and if it's asking for a password try to use root. Let me know if it works then we will try to find some ssh command to reset it to factory default.

The progress so far - got one of them working. For like ... 10 minutes. Then started to indicate overheating without any hashing, everything is stone cold.
Seems there is a problem to read fan speed, the fans are attached and at start I was able to hear brief lowering of fan speed, then went back to maximal:

Temperature 13C / 55F                 Fan 0

Connecting your miner to a PC isn't all that simple, I have written a simple guide which you could follow here > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5122949.0.

I need to set them to DHCP operation in my network, how this can be done.

I don't use Avalon gears, but common sense is that if the miner is set to static ip, you have only 2 ways to sort this out, 1- Reset the miner to factory (which you seem to be having issues with) 2- Configure your router to work with the miners static ip, contact the person you bought them from and ask them about their gateway/router IP address and use that on your router.

I am sorry I can't help any further, if this was Bitmain related I would have probably helped you a lot more, try to reach out to HagssFIN, he is an expert in troubleshooting Avalon mining gears.

Thanks for the support! I will contact  HagssFIN too.

More progress, one of the boards was set back to factory defaults successfully, all others are reacting inadequate. The one with 10 seconds online behaviour - after putting new fans started to perform normal, no red blinking anymore etc. Now the next drama, 0 hashboards, will soft this out slowly.

Tried to update to the last firmware, failed:  A1047-A1026_20033101_daa810f_57f076c.aup

See the manual: https://canaan.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Avalon1047_UserManual_EN.pdf.

Restore factory settings: When power is on (before the indicator flashes ), press the FUNC function button for five seconds, until the white light flashes
to indicate success, then press RESET or disconnect the power to restart.

[jamiemirror]

Was successful to restore and gain access only with 1 of 6 miners. Is there another method to reset / flash BIOS etc? Also how can I handle FAN 0, Hashboard 0 situation? Probably there is kind of safety lock when the fan speed is not recognized to not start hashboards?

[HagssFIN]

I haven't needed those methods, so unfortunately I don't know.

Have you tried to ask Canaan?

[jamiemirror]

Yes, their support responded, now I'm waiting for analysis of logs etc. Have no idea what to do, I can see weird values when parsing the log:
