Re: [Work in progess] Burnins Avalon Chip to mining board service
Oh and be extremely careful with the micro usb jacks. One of mine broke clean off when I first disconnected it. (cold solder joint? the whole area looks quite matte and rough)
Fortunately this happened after updating the firmware, so the board runs over the CANBUS just fine. Of course that means Im stuck with this firmware, but it seems to work flawlessly so far.
If you look really closely, you can see the micro usb-jack and PCB flex an awful lot from just the weight of the cable alone.
It is probably a good idea to zip-tie the cable to one of the bolts for strain relief. (Zugentlastung
