Canaan has released new OpenWrt and MM firmware for the 821, 841, and 851.

OpenWrt

AvalonMiner 821: https://canaan.io/downloads/software/avalon821/openwrt/20181223/
AvalonMiner 841: https://canaan.io/downloads/software/avalon841/openwrt/20181223/
AvalonMiner 851: https://canaan.io/downloads/software/avalon851/openwrt/20181223/

MM

AvalonMiner 821: https://canaan.io/downloads/software/avalon821/mm/2018-12-22/
AvalonMiner 841: https://canaan.io/downloads/software/avalon841/mm/2018-12-22/
AvalonMiner 851: https://canaan.io/downloads/software/avalon851/mm/2018-12-22/

There are no published changelogs for all three OpenWrt firmware releases at the time of writing.

The changelogs for all three MM firmware releases read:

Code:
Version 8211812-d33ea90

* Support low power, modify volt adjusting method and certain ss params.

Version 8411812-d33ea90

* Support low power, modify volt adjusting method and certain ss params.

Version 8511812-e19ca70

* Support low power, modify volt adjusting method and certain ss params.

Interestingly, version 20181223 is treated as a new distinct branch in Canaan's GitHub repositories. Canaan calls it avalon8-lp here, here, and here.

Notable changes in version 20181223 include:
  • changing the default voltage level to -8,
  • changing the default target temperature to 64°C, and
  • changing the default minimum fan speed percentage to 3%.
