Block Erupter Prisma (>=1.4 T/device, 0.75-0.78 W/G, <1 BTC/T, October Shipping)

[xhomerx10]

anyone recived tracking number
starting to worry here !

Don't worry -

...Round 1 Sales

Shipping date: 8th October, 2014 to 27th October, 2014...

 They'll be shipping by two weeks^tm time

Well, at least ASICMiner delievers their gear. Has ASICMiner ever not delivered their gear on time, or a delay of a day or two tops?

 Nope.  Last time there was a minor delay they gave partial refunds.  They still have exactly two weeks^tm.
I'm just afraid to use that phrase without the tm since it might be owned by BFL and I'm sure they'll be looking for alternate revenue streams now.  Don't misunderstand my humour; I love AM.

Ha Yeah, well when people use that phrase they often imply the same outcome as with BFL. I'm sure FC will pull through. Hopefully gen 4 comes soon, as well.

could someone post or PM me their TX info for a purchase they made

thanks

anyone....im getting bored over in the speculation thread

In an unexpected but most welcome move, the driver for these was submitted to cgminer. I've reviewed their driver and suggested some changes which they've already resubmitted so the driver is now part of mainline cgminer and will be in the next release due out today.

Very Cool! 

Will use your stuff from GitHub for the CubieTruck Build.

Many thanks! Small donation sent have a case of beer on me

Another case of beer if you can get them working with p2pool ck.......

Hah, all I did was a code review and merge. I've never seen the hardware in the flesh or virtually.

Well done ckolivas, for another time.

Excellent, another + for AM over BM!

Can we send a unit to Luke-Jr so he can take a look at it?

Maybe bfgminer can fix some of these issues?

Is this still open?  What's the price for a full device 1.4 Th/s with shipping to U.S.?

You'll have to go over to the Group Buy threads to purchase a single Prisma. ASICMiner doesn't sell individual units. They come in packs of 10.

When using a RPi, I'd recommend to keep a fully configured second RPi ready to go so in case the first one dies it is a simple plugging exercise to get back mining quickly. (Just make a full backup of the SD card once everything is set up and runs as it should).

If you can't spare that extra 35$, at the very least keep a second SD card ready.

Better yet, immediately exchange any class-6 or lower cards for a class-10. It will help protect the OS during any power outtages, whereas the cheap class4 cards almost always end up being corrupted by a power blip

Where do you buy the AM's USB Adapter?

For those who care.

I am working on building the CubieTruck A20 image for use with the Block Erupter Tube / Prisma.

Here is the update of where I am:

1. Using the Cubean build system from http://www.igorpecovnik.com/2013/12/24/cubietruck-debian-wheezy-sd-card-image

2. SD Card image will be built with cgminer (latest).

As soon as I have a working image I will post w/ md5 sums

That's really cool! I'm reading about the Cubieboard now. Why did you choose that platform instead of the Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone Black? It seems a bit more expensive than even the BBB and has functionality (Bluetooth, wifi) that we probably wouldn't need really on a miner controller. Personally I'm considering using a VM on a regular server to control my Prismas, but I really want to get mining on Eligius with them, so I'm looking at using bfgminer in proxy mode, or ckpool for that. I'm really hoping these ship soon, and that it's relatively straight-forward to get them running under Linux, otherwise I'll just use the controllers they come with, and point -those- at my computer's proxy. I've read a lot about the regular AM Tubes not working on many pools due to the mishandling of Extranonce2_size and low-difficulty shares, hopefully the Prismas won't be quite as problematic.

Also, I saw an image of the USB to UART adapter on the forum, and someone earlier posted a question about it too. Will these come with that adapter? And does anyone know how many will be required per set? Would it be one USB<->UART adapter per Tube, per 4 Tubes? And if it really is 1 per 4 Tubes, then could 3 of them attached to a single computer operate all 10 in an order? Hopefully the cable I use for Arduino work will work with the Tube, but I'd rather not have to buy 10 of them to run 10 Tubes, the overhead on these is already stacking up. For reference, this is close to what I have:

It does look like a lot of buffer ICs (or something) from that picture and there are certainly caps, I can't really tell what's on the other side of the chips though...

There's some slightly more clear (but not quite clear enough to make out part numbers) shots over here:

From those pictures it looks like the hashing boards are powered by 2 6pin pcie plugs or am I just looking at it wrong? Are these going to be like the S3 where one 6pin pcie per hashing board will work but two is needed for overclocking?
