Thank you for the image.
It works great on the first try.
I was able to connect with DHCP by finding the IP address on my router control screen.

However, when I turned it off, and moved the miner a little, and then turned on again, and re-connected it, the a2 miner stopped mining after that.  I looked inside the front fan area and can see green lights blinking on and off on all boards.  I'm not sure, but maybe it's a hardware issue?  I sent Innosilicon an email and they said some boards might need to be reseated.  Do you have any advice or instructions on reseating the boards?


Hi guys and girls,

DISCLAMER
Use of this custom firmware is on your own risk.
Make sure to fill out your own pool information after installation of the image, and check it at the pool.


My miner is currently running overvolted on 1380MHz at about 17.4 Mhash/s/board, with about .40% HW errors at a stable temperature of +/- 36 Degrees Celcius (mind that I have a custom casing for better cooling, and heatsinks on the Voltage regulators).

------Version 3.1 ------

Rar file with the cgminer where the pool switching parameter has been set to 1 minute instead of 5, and the correct index file (made some mistakes in the previous versions with the difficulty setting and some obsolete options have been removed). Also all the stratum code of cgminer 4.9.1 has been implemented.

This version seems to have some issues with pool switching with some users. I use miningrigrentals as my first pool to solve this problem.

NOTE: Have no new A2 myself, received one log from user suggesting the reset command is not returned and thus the miner does not start mining. Might be an incident. If you try the image please report if it works or not.
