ANTMINER S5: 1155GH(+OverClock Potential), In Stock $0.319/GH & 0.51W/GH

I have a question?
I just put the new firmware om my S5, but now i have a red light blinking. Is that right??

Thanx,

Beffje

It is supposed to blink slowly when it is flashing/booting. Once it's mining it is supposed to stop blinking. How far are you in the process?

Also which light is blinking red?   Are we talking about the red light on front or on controller?

I can't find it but I could have sworn on the zendesk they have there was something with led status, but could not find it at the moment.

Personally i assumed and am talking about the main red led next to the reset switch and the Ethernet port. It blink slowly while the unit is booting and also blink and potentially beep when the miner lose connection for about 1-2 minutes~

The red one the big one is blinking now. It is still hasing, all good. But it's new after update. https://www.bitmaintech.com/files/download/SD-S5-20150715-fan_ctrl.tar.gz

yup it happen to me too when i upgrade to new firmware. not all my s5, just some.
still hashing but the red light is blinking.
my solution? downgrade your firmware, the red ones will be normal again.

Thanx for the info. So i'm not he only one.

But in the same spirit, its not happening to me, so it sound weird, and i also manually updated to the fan control version. Maybe its a board version thing? Mine is v1.91.

Thanks for your input. If everyone else with this problem share this information, maybe we'll be able to figure it out, but anyways, if its not beeping then i guess its not really a problem?

Just received my new beaglebone ... i'm having 4 green light and 1 red on the daughter board .. still no power on the beaglebone ...

anyone has a troubleshoot HOWTO on the daughter board ?

Hard to believe I have receive a DNA from Bitmain :/ (I'm pretty sure the BBB is good)

How much you paid for BBB with shipping ?

I can no longer change pools in my Antminer S5.  When I input the change on the miner configuration page, it will hash anywhere between 2-12 hours before it simply stops hashing (fan is still running, lights are still going but miner is DOA at pools and also unresponsive by IP address).  Then I have to manually reboot with the power supply and the miner boots back up to the old pools before I had changed it.  I've tried factory resetting twice with the paperclip, yet still has these old pools in the config.

I'm not sure if this is related but this seems to have happened after I SSHd into the S5 and turned on Load Balance.  Since load balance had low hashrate, I switched back to failover.  Then I noticed this problem, I'm not sure if this caused it or if it was a pre-existing problem, that was just noticed at the same time because I changed the pool after I changed it back to failover.

Any ideas on how to change the pool settings so it sticks and/or just factory reset the device?

[RichBC]

Sounds like something got messed up during the SSH edit process? I would do a hard reset to get back to defaults and take it from there.

[zsmith]

How do I do a hard reset?  I tried the paperclip but it didn't work.

[RichBC]

Paperclip should work but the button is often offset from the hole so make certain you are actually fully pressing the button. Hold in for 10 seconds.

I've tried it off then I tried it on.  It beeped for awhile but never reset.

I've heard people report similar atrocious problem appearing when turning on load balance on this miner and the S3 as well. Not sure about others. Regardless, i believe you would need to put back the launch config back to default. Either use a copy or some such. Maybe i could pastebin mine for you?

Otherwise you might have to flash the sd card but strangely enough, there does not seem to be one in the S5 by default?

[zsmith]

If you could pastebin a copy of it that would be great.  Thanks.

cgminer.sh right? Here is mine;

The param's section that i used before and messed my stuff up on S3;

PARAMS="--bitmain-dev /dev/bitmain-asic --bitmain-options 115200:32:8:$timeout:$chip_value:$freq_value:0725 --bitmain-checkn2diff --bitmain-hwerror --version-file /usr/bin/compile_time --queue $queue_value"
   echo PARAMS = $PARAMS
   start-stop-daemon -b -S -x screen -- -S cgminer -t cgminer -m -d "$DAEMON" $PARAMS --api-listen --default-config /config/cgminer.conf

[VirosaGITS]

So i now have a dead PCB, when plugged and the miner otherwise running, the chip will return ------------------------------- and the voltage across the board is 0. When ran alone it will report oooooooooooooooooooooooooo but won't hash anyways.

Any thoughts? Any thing that can be easily checked to know if the board is salvageable?

I see some one updated one of  Smity firmware on nicehashs ftp in Aug for the may firmware bitmain release , i do renumber that link at one time having a version from  Jan's software with CG 4.9 .
look like all that did was add nano_editor_performance_graph support to a more up to date firmware, some one asked for a while back .
 

 http:// your miner IP/cgi-bin/graph.rrd  use that to check, if. you install it, i did .

BFG has a working version for the S5 right now, that looks like once it goes live will fix a lot of stuff bitmain won't ever do , i have tested it and it works but has issue like luke says, it's there for testing and feedback but does work and works better even in it's state now then any of bitmains CG releases .

were still waiting for kanoi CG improvement version for the S5.
