Re: [CLOSED] ASICMiner Prisma 1.4th/s

What did you do to fix it?

As i said before. Instead of using AM cgminer from crazy's minera, i compiled another one from github.com/blockerupter. Worked much better for me, filtered some of the errors and seemed to be booting the boards much better than before, i still had to do few restarts and after it boots up everything, i just leave it to do some work. From the beggining i thought it would be something terribly wrong, but it just the miner being stupid and not booting up properly. And also rather than spamming the miner restart button. Its better to keep reopening the cgminer through the terminal, more info, quicker and finding the boards better than through minera for some reason..
So whats up with yours atm.? Still struggling to start it up at all? Or do you get some hashrate going at least?

Ops. I actually replied to your post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=795477.msg9571067#msg9571067

So I tried cgminer 4.7.0 like you suggested and I'm still getting the BET0 errors. I tried re-starting cgminer ~20 times and still the same error.

When it starts do you leave it running for a while ? I'm still getting the errors also its spamming cgminer with it , but it stops at some point then it starts accepting shares and the hashrate shows up after that, sometimes its hashing very slow , usually when it boots up more than 500gh/s i leave it , then it slowly starts up all the chips on the boards , but eventually hashes on full power.
Do you get any accepted shares at all ?

is this what happens chris ? do you wait 10 minutes to see if it improves

I recommend this as well, especially from a cold boot. I find they are a bit harder to get started when it's really cold, but once the prisma starts warming up, boards start coming to life.

I agree on that , i could not boot it up when i had the miner outside where its colder, was not possible to boot it up at all. But now its inside with open windows and working, i thought that was just my imagination , good to know that i was right.

This is interesting. I had my prisma in my workshop where it is currently ~35F. I brought the miner inside to warm up.

I ran cgminer 4.7.0 for about 2-5 min each time. maybe that wasn't enough time.

With that popped cap, did you have the older shipment or the most recent one? Supposedly the most recent shipment was packaged much better. There were issues with popping caps from the 1st shipment.
