Cairnsmore1 - Quad XC6SLX150 Board

[yohan]

Are their any models that are in teh $150-$200 range?

Also I'm confused about the power supplies? Does it require more then one supplies? Can it run on just USB power supply? How about regular power cords in USA?

Nothing in that price range.

The main power supply is 12V which can be from a range of sources but the controller section can also power from USB.

I modified again my cairnmore worker for MPBM, please redownload if you use it. I corrected some timings that have to do with restarting worker etc. if a unit doesn't work as it should.

Also a new modification I have done to the Statistics Webpage, I have added a column for "Processed per minute" like you know from cgminer "U:" (Utility defined as the number of shares / minute). Please copy the modified file "statsgadget.js" to the directory "\mpbm\modules\theseven\webui\wwwroot\static\statsgadget\".

Download it here.

I upgraded my board (0005) to the 1.3 controller and programmed the twin bitstream, and it seems to be hashing away stable for the last 11 hours (using the cgminer version found on the Cairnsmore1 support page).

One of the 2 FPGA's does seem to be slower:
CM 0: | 439.6/427.5Mh/s | A:1715 R:9 HW:0 U:2.56/m
CM 1: | 494.6/438.4Mh/s | A:1310 R:8 HW:0 U:1.96/m

Were those stats over the 11 hours?

yep

I tought I propably should mention that the following usb-hubs havent proven to be a solution to boards dissapearing from the device-manager and thus crashing cgminer:

Unpowered:
Belkin usb 2.0 lighted travel hub, 4 port (F5U034erBLK)
Powered:
Fujitech 4-port active usb hub (ean code 6438148000158) This one wont ever even detect four boards properly and is too light to use for a paperweight.

But it does put me in a nice spot where my RoI is negative after nearly two weeks of mining. Anyone struggling with this issue might want to hold off on buying more accessories that propably will not resolve the issue anyways. I'd love to add something positive, constructing or supportive here, but sadly I dont have shit.

Final Warning for June Promise Customers

Anyone promised a June delivery should have received an email saying units are available by now. There are a very small number of people that have not responded. Any of these units that are not paid for this week will be removed from our list and new pricing structure will apply on any replacement orders. We are doing this so we can satisfy demand for these boards and allow us to either supply more units to other customers or simply to pull forward orders for other customers.

Anyone on an early to mid July promise should have had notification that units are available. If you have not received notification let us know and/or check your spam box.

Please redownload it, I have made some changes today with help from TheSeven to get better performance and stability with p2pool and his donation group. the donation group should get 1% from overal Mh/s and its working now. Download it here.

Special thanks to TheSeven!

Please make sure you use the latest testing branch from mpbm!

I've tried that and I'm still getting the same error. Same error with icarusworker as well.

I'm doing a

Code:

git clone -b testing https://github.com/TheSeven/Modular-Python-Bitcoin-Miner

Then adding the "cairnsmore" folder with your cairnsmoreworker.py and init.py files in it.

Then running

Code:

python run-mpbm.py

.

Then adding the worker and that's when it starts outputting that error

Hmm, did i have changed more?...?

Don't know atm, just download my new uploaded mpbm.7z here. Thats my working mpbm, if you want you can search the change i missed.

Strange.
I'm running that now and still getting the error after adding my worker.
There must be more to the error than what it's saying.
Failing to communicate with my FPGAs for some reason maybe.

cgminer is working fine though so =(

[ebereon]

something is wrong with my uploads to wuala. please wait a bit, i have renamed the newest one to mpbm_new.7z and also the worker to cairnsmore_new.py.

If the files show up, it should the new ones. sorry about that.

No problem.

I've got the new files now, but i'm still getting the same error.

I really don't understand what's going wrong.

Perhaps I need to update something separate to MPBM.

Thats what i get in a windows7 x64 with out a boards attached. Do you have the pyserial 2.5 package installed? That is the file that is asked after your error message.

I have uploaded the setup for pyserial-2.5.win32.exe. I think thats the one you need.

Thanks! I'll try that. I'm running on Debian but I'll let you know if this works once it's installed

EDIT: I already had the "python-serial" installed but after I installed the latest pyserial from the source at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyserial everything started working!

Thanks again ebereon! PM me your donation address?

The second decision is that until the we reach 800 MH/s on Cairnsmore1 the offer price will be available for any new orders. The 800 MH/s performance can be by any available bitstream and that changeover is at our sole discretion. The pricing changeover will be announced in this thread. The post 800MH/s pricing structure will be announced at this point and not before.

Did I miss something ??

[gyverlb]

Did I miss something ??

My thought exactly...

I've yet to see 800Mh/s. Even 370 stable would be nice: I must reinit the boards quite often by powering them down to continue hashing. It's so bad I'm even considering buying an USB relay to automate the process.

[wildemagic]

Did I miss something ??

Do the boards now do over 800MH/s stable? - NO
Do the boards have their own bitstream? - NO

So I dont think you missed anything.

Hopefully its a prelude to Yohan announcing a bitstream that works.
Or perhaps they have hardware in the lab that works and they are going to recall all the faulty boards.
Hopefully they did a respin of the hardware and will ship it with a working bitstream this time.

kind regards
