Ultra Under-overclock image for A2 Innosilicon by Emdje - V5.0

[emdje]

how can i edit IP of machine on windows? i cannot get ot my miner since its on 192.168.1.XX and i need it at *.0*

You can change that on the PI. Ssh into the PI and follow this tutorial: http://www.penguintutor.com/news/raspberrypi/linux-static

For Ssh follow this:  https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-6-using-ssh/ssh-under-windows

Hope this helps.

Greetings Maarten

thanx worked!
decent OC here

1300mhz running a2 at 90mhs+

You are welcome. If you like to split your additional income because of the overclocking  you are of course free to do so  : 1FiHCFcP4ovbV89nGhYEMWXSZsWnGUASSe

The miner can send work to 8 boards, I only have 2.
But as you can see the 1320Mhz is accepted by the miner 

I will test some more, but this looks promising

New image uploaded. Device accepts the following values:
1000
1080-1200-1220-......1400 (increments of 20 MHz).

It can take 1220Mhz as effective? So its REALLY set as new frequency and not defaulted to 1200? Which cgminer binary is that? Thanks

Yes it REALLY sets it as a new frequency! Look at post 42 (the first two frequencies, I only have an A2 mini). This was 1320Mhz, it takes that, but it takes the rest as wel.

1320 was always possible as far as i remember. did you try e.g. 1220?

I have seen more of the same article on different websites, but that is about the image I made before this one, where indeed only the values 1000, 1200, 1280, 1300 and 1400 were accepted.

In this version the values 1000, 1080, 1200, 1220, 1240, 1260, 1280, 1300, 1320, 1340, 1360, 1380 and 1400 are accepted.
However, this time it does not work to simply change the index.php file, you need the entire image: https://mega.co.nz/#!GNMQAIrb!IjkpJvS36O29AfOKc_jR9aezdH5yZnHMiGY5mIGyypk

oops, forgot to add..... One last question mate.

Crytptalk mentioned the Scrypta OC firmware I have the link for, mentioned above, doesn't require extra cooling for the a2 chips because the firmware apparently controls the temperature of the a2 chips to prevent overheating.

Question: Does your latest update to your firmware, do the same, so I won't have to build an airconditioner pipping assembly to feed the air con air straight to my miners intake fans?

emdje: good job! where did you get the cgminer binary, if I may ask? Might be cool if voltage can be increased.

The temperature is controlled by decreasing the amount of work going to the processors.
Just try it out, see what the hash rate (poolside) does and decide what to do.

Someone who makes mining hardware contacted me with a problem I might be able to help with. So we helped each other. I can't give anyone the source code, at least not yet. But I have seen nothing that indicates the voltage can be increased in the code. Seems all hardware.

Hear ya loud and clear mate. Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it

Understood you may have made some agreement, but altering cgminer without releasing the sourcecode to github is againts licence policy. At least I think so.

Can you name changes that are made in comparison to original Innosilicon FW? E.g. community of A2 users desperately needs extranonce support in cgminer.

Do I need to install whole new image or just copy over the /var/www directory? I wonder how this will perform on my 1st batch A2 - it can do 84Mhs on poolside now, running 1200 Mhz (1280 makes no good).

I altered the driver, not the actual code of cgminer (and then compiled it).
On page 16 from the programming manual http://www.usbminers.nl/Innosilicon_A2_PG_v120140424.pdf there is a column named: io_pll_fb_div. In that column there is a binary code which is related to the clock frequency. Only increments of 20Mhz are accepted otherwise the is_pll_fb_div becomes a comma separated number, and that can't be transformed to binary.
So, I added the extra binary numbers to the driver, and 'paired' it to the dropdown menu you see in the browser (index.php)

Because it is not a simple change of the index.php you need the whole image.

Guys, just a noob question. Im not able to shutdown miner via SSH. Either 'sudo shutdown' or 'sudo poweroff' kills just the OS (disconnects SSH), but the miner keeps running. Any idea? Thanks.

does anybody know if this will work with the new A2 terminator mini, and with what frequency setting, if so?
