  CM2: Running at 24.803891 MH/s
  CM2: Job interval: 47.000000 seconds
These number are incorrect with my worker. My worker is only correct for the 190Mh bitstreams (SW6#1 off!). The interval that is detected is wrong here also. For shipping bitstream please use the icarus worker, it should show correct numbers.

   CM2 (FPGA3) gets 50-70% less shares than CM1 (FPGA0) (Average Utility of 1.4-1.5 & 0.8-0.9)
   Also quite a few of the following errors on both FPGA's

The detected Mh/s is completly different each start of the worker, but after some seconds it will show you the correct Mh/s in the website of mpbm.
The Watchdog message come from my changes in the timings, the original timings wait ~3 times longer until it restarts the worker. It could be realy normal to get that message from time to time. But if you can watch the LED's and if you get the message when the orange LED is turned on, you will notice that then it turn off. this is the behavor I had on my board#0015. And my shorten timings make sure the board don't have the orange LED (no work/job) to long.

I know we're not at full potential, and no sign of any full potential yet, but id at least like to get this one board working ok before i dump a load more cash into more boards Sad
Please take a look at the mpbm webconfiguration, the interessting part are the invalid shares, they must be realy high on your board or the Watchdog messages come really often (orange LED turn on very often).
