Flashed the dead boards again with .98 - removed the prefix

THEY ARE ALIVE

@phoenix - play with mining url in the GUI and keep flashing 98 and rebooting/saving/rebooting CGMiner - ive been doing this and for whatever reason things are starting to wake up now

Really?
I have one jup with .98 on it that has a bad ASIC... might try to reconnect it


Top 2 are R5/R6, bottom left is the 3/4 jup. Still gets 415!

Wow, my "good" Jups don't go above 550 - You lucked out.

I did the whole DC of the boards and RC - not sure if that had any affect

FYI, Before I updated to 0.98, a Jupiter on 0.96 & 0.97 never went over 390GH, now over 500+
Will run it over night and see how it goes with the 12 hour average.

So far with fw 0.9.8 my saturn went from 135GH/s to 203GH/s at the pool. That is the first time I've seen it hit 200GH/s. I wish I could get to 270+ like some of you guys are getting.

4HRS into .98 on Saturn

server pool stats:
miner_knc   280.53 GH/s   55,000k (99.83%)

beautiful hash rate.

cgminer stats:

294.0G/284.9Gh/s | A:898688 R:12032 HW:21756 WU:3995.8/

around 2% HW error , when 15%-20% prior

Room temp a hot 80F (about 27C) and chips are 51.5c and 53c

I hope this keeps up!

Hey, have you used bertmod to see what is going on in there? Post those stats, maybe give you some ideas. Hurry!

[DPoS]

Had issues with closed http/ssh ports after a previous firmware upgrade. Simple reset did not help.

My good miner just closed up like that but it is still hashing strong on BTCGuild so I'll just leave it to mind its own business


Troubled miner on .98 has woke well with the little overclockin that it does..  keeps many more cores alive and around 2% HW error rate.  Still have one dead die.   But gained about 75Gh which brings it over 500 on avg

still would be nice to have release notes on the firmwares

So, yeah, its a config file issue for sure. It's adding the extra http prefix - when in the GUI settings it is not present.

We had that problem on one as well. I will get Redacted to jump in here and explain what he did to fix.. I think he overwrote the cgminer.conf file completely, and then it went back to working 100%.

And try running it a bit hotter.

I don't get the http: in cgminer when not present at the gui.

5 hours in and 0.98 has worked miracles on my jupiter dramatically reducing the HW errors and so increasing the hashrate at the pool by 50GH

0.97
CGMiner: 545
Pool: 500
HW: 8.5%

0.98
CGMiner: 559
Pool: 550
HW: 2.1%

 

[FiatKiller]

Just put the proper stratum+tcp prefix in the miner settings screen. Works fine for me.

[Rampion]

Had a small problem with 0.98, hashrate skyrocketed very hard on all the miners (some had a 35% increase in pool hashrate!) but the electricity it draws was too much for one of the UPS, which switched itself off.

Funny thing is that precisely into that UPS I had also plugged in the switch to which all my units are connected, so it brought  down all the farm.

The obvious explanation is that the UPS couldn't handle the power drew by the miner with 0.98 + the 16 ports switch, but that's ridiculous because the switch shouldn't draw more than 10w and the UPS is 1500va, so it is supposed to handle with no problem 900w of continuous power.

I'm now testing a couple of units with 0.98 (the ones in which the increase was spectacular), and I rolled back to 0.97 on the rest. Will report later.

[FiatKiller]

Could it be the bertmod screwing you guys up? I did not install it yet and mine works fine.

Nope, I have bertmod (with zpm fix) installed on mine and no problems.  Rock solid at 560-565GH/s.

I also renamed my asic_test file before FM9.8 also. Probably not related. Miner seemed a bit worse afterwards FYI.

mine is working great w/ bertmod zpm

[FeedbackLoop]

So, after a while:

583 GH/s at Slush. Woot!

Plenty of extra airflow though house is quite warm at the moment. Temps from 51 to 60.5, about the same I was getting with running it hot in 0.95 getting 520. (500 running it cold)

HW just below 2% from like 16% with 0.95 cold.  (From 4% 0.95 hot.)

Careful not to fry your machine with all those setups of stopped fans with this fw.

Works like a charm! Congratulations to ckolivas and KNC!


No Bertmod. Can't reach Eligius.

how many and which type of miners?

[DPoS]

if anyone likes to have their miner status page and core stats on different pages (so not to constantly check cores) then just put asic_status.pl in /config/mods/ and run this script

Code:

#!/bin/sh
while true
do
for b in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ; do
 perl /config/mods/asic_status.pl > /www/pages/corecurrent.html
 echo $b >> /www/pages/corecurrent.html
 cp /www/pages/corecurrent.html /www/pages/core$b.html
 echo $b
 sleep 1200
done
done

that will create a core status page and also keep archive of the last 9 checks

the sleep is set for 20 minutes

you can change anything you like to fit your tastes
  (if anyone knows a simple way to append and display $b into the corecurrent.html that would be nice to readily show which archive point is last made) thx texaslabrat

I would think something like "echo $b >> /www/pages/corecurrent.html" would work, no?

Yep - that's exactly it- I wish I knew how to navigate more in SSH so I could open up the conf and rewrite it.

SSH in
login
cd /config
cat ./cgminer.conf - lists the file out

to edit cgminer config file
nano ./cgminer.conf

to kill the current bad cgminer invocation
killall screen

to restart cgminer
screen cgminer -c /config/cgminer.conf

to copy the factory version of cgminer config over the current one
cp cgminer.factory.conf cgminer.conf

To get into the cgminer running under screen when you log in
screen -dr

Use  CTL-A followed by a lower case d  to detach from the running screen before exiting.
