Avalon A921 | Avalon Devices not detected.

[systemalive]

Guys .... need your expertise to help me to solve the below isuse. I  have issue for setup Avalon 921 miner.

Have use RPI 3 Model B as controller and connected to Miner and the Auc3 converter. but still having issue to start mining. The miner's LED stay at Yellow and also the Auc3 converter. The avalon Devices and status showing " This section contains no values yet".

I installed the firmware img from https://download.canaan-creative.com/avalon921/openwrt/latest/rpi3-modelb/. also have input all the pool address which is same as i did for my Antminers. Please see below enclosed API Log for your reference.

Code:

Since you are using the latest controller firmware you probably also need to update the latest miner firmware (MM). In the past I've found that they need to be matched to each other or the miner just does not run.

Now as to where the MM firmware is on the Canaan site... Since they redid the site I've no idea

https://download.canaan-creative.com/avalon921/mm/latest/

But I am not sure that would be it. IIRC with the older firmware mismatches it gave an error if it was not matched, it did not just not mine.
But, it's been a while since I had any 921 around.

And the obvious question, did it work and stop or did it never work?

Please see my screenshot.

i have re-flashed the firmware to latest version and as well as the MM upgrade. still showing same result. it never work. my RPI 3 model B controller cannot detect the Avalon device at all.

Have you tried any other pools and/or using the more typical port:3333 vs the other ports?

[systemalive]

Ya, i tried with Binance pool. its also not working.

from the CGminer status, it seems like the controller is connected to the pool, but not connect to my Avalon device.

Power supply big enough? The 921 requires at least a 1,800w PSU and a 2kw one is better. Only other thing I can think of is that the AUC3 is bad.

edit: Because the log does not even report the AUC, got a different USB cable? The cable must support data transfer and NOT be just a charging cable. Been a long time since anyone ran into this so took a while to remember that point.

Any progress on finding wassup with your machine?

Hi, have you found the solution? Can share as I am newbie  with same problem 😭

As I said in a prev post, does the controller see the AUC3? If not then replace the USB cable with one that is known to be a data cable and not just a charging cable.

Also make sure that the controller and miner are running the same versions of firmware. Mismatched versions usually will not run.
