hi again.
well i was fooling around with my cm1 trying to make it work in cm1 (i want it there hahaha hardheaded me). so i did
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=94317.msg1073047#msg1073047

to update the bitstream using shortfin_dcmwd4e_ed_test_220_overclock.bit found here https://www.wuala.com/ebereon/Shared/bitcoin/bitstreams/

the thing is everything went kinda ok (at some point i think i flashed the controller onto the bitstream) but then i reflashed the above mentioned bit following the steps.

now i have a red blinking light permanetly on and it doesnt mine

my dip switches are SW6-1 off and in SW1 are all on


any ideas?

edit:
for the record i tried upgrading to controller 1.5 putting the dip switches as described in cm1quickstart and when i do SPIProg.exe CAIRNSMORE1_CONTROLLER_REV_1_5.bit
all i get is:
SPIProg V1.0 Copyright Enterpoint Ltd ⌐ 2012
Cairnsmore Control FPGA Loader

Bitfile OK
NumPages: 207


Take a look here -> http://www.enterpoint.co.uk/cairnsmore/cairnsmore1_support_materials.html

If you have 1.5 controller, scroll to the bottom on this page. The switches are named Switch1 to Switch8. Make sure Switch6 is on when mining or off (+Switch3 off) when programming SPI. I can remember that in one controller version they messed up the Switch settings, so you can also play with Switch 5, 6 and 7. If you have only one cm1 with version 1.5 make sure Switch 4 is on (Master).

The red led on the controller have to flashing to be able to mine, permanetly on means clock is set to 0Mhz and you can program the controller or the 4 fpga's depends on Switch settings.

I hope it helps a bit. Can't remember correctly because i don't have a cm1 anymore.

Greets,
