Re: Is there a way to run the Avalon 1047 efficiently?

I still have not figured how to OC it.

Did you notice that on the new firmware low power mode only gives you 25 TH or so?

Is there a firmware version that has low power mode?  I have only seen Performance and Normal.  Canaan really did a disservice to their customers by limiting the available commands.  For all of the faults with the 84X model, you could safely run them in 110F temps by backing them down and then overclocking them in the winter.  The 1047 model chews through PSUs, we don't even run their newest firmware because of that reason.

Canaan clarified the changes in the command...With the newer FW that allows for multiple pools, you must specify the pool number in the command:

For example. to set pool #2 you put "2" after the miner password:
echo -n "ascset|0,setpool,root,root,2,stratum+tcp://btc.ss.poolin.com:443,cctrix.001,123" | socat -t 300 stdio tcp:192.168.1.174:4028,shut-none && echo
 
In order to set all three pools, a total of three commands must be executed, where the number will be 0, 1, and 2 to set each of the pools.  A reboot is needed after pools are set.

Here is mine - it works perfectly

Code:
echo -n 'ascset|0,setpool,root,root,stratum+tcp://btc.ss.poolin.com:443,btcpig.001,123' | socat -t 10 stdio tcp:192.168.2.'$count':4028,shut-none && echo

The only difference is the quotes?

Thanks for the reply!  What version FW are you using?  I get the same error.

I am now also having issues setting the pool.  Below is the error I get when sending the exact command that is in the manual

echo -n "ascset|0,setpool,root,root,stratum+tcp://btc.ss.poolin.com:443,cctrix.001,123" | socat -t 30 stdio tcp:192.168.88.1

Does anyone have trouble with the idle/shutdown command?  We have a mix of about 60 A10s and they are sporadic when we send an idle command.  Some idle as intended, some show 150c temps, idle down, and then reboot.

Code:
2.8. Shut down HASH power
Note Shut down the HASH power supply to make the miner enter the low power state. To return to the working state, use the reboot API command.

Format ascset|0,hashpower,0

I get an error when trying to enter privilege mode (and any privilege commands).

Has anyone messed around with the privileged API for the A10 series?

Thank you!

Curios, what are the review of the 1041 now that we are a year into the original post?

In regards to the PSU discussion...Curios, we have about 800 841 that we are starting to phase out and we are thinking about buying some used 1041s.  We have good 841 PSUs in the boneyard, is it possible to use two 841 PSU to power one 1041 (just thinking about cost savings if we get a PSU failure on a 1041).

Thanks

Thank you!  We do have a 24 outlet PDU and our plan is as you described.  I think that I am more wanting to win/learn as the PDU solution will work.  It just seems that if I can restart from the GUI I should be able to send a command.

Thanks again!

Fair enough.  The issue isn't that I can't make changes but that once I make a change it requires a hard reboot before I can make any other changes.

A little more background.  I am sending these commands via Windows PowerShell.  Once the command is sent, I get constant status update run vs a command prompt.

I put it here because it was specific to the commands and options that were being discussed in this thread.

It is a 3B (I couldnt get the 3B+ to work).

But once I send my SSH command, I can't repeat the process to send a new command.  It takes a reboot to send it back to the first setting (separate question, is there a reboot command).  I essentially have to send one command, reboot to the original settings, send the next command, reboot, next command, ect.

Thanks

I am using this thread to help send commands to an 841.  I can SSH in and send the below command:

cgminer --lowmem --avalon8-fan 40-100 --avalon8-voltage-level-offset 0 {REDACTED POOL} --api-allow W:0/0 --api-listen --avalon8-voltage-level 0 --avalon8-voltage-level-offset 0 --real-quiet

The only way this works is if I first stop the cgminer (/etc/init.d/cgminer stop) and then send the above command.  The problem is after that it seems that I am locked out from stopping or sending new commands (for instance, set voltage level 1 with the above command with modifier). 

It seems that I am shutting down the default running cgminer and then starting a new one.  Is this correct?  Is there a better way to be able to toggle? 

Thanks in advance

I think that one solution will be to have Awesome Miner send a SSH command.  I have played with the SSH commands but cannot seem to get the miner to change voltage levels.  I am not very versed outside of Windows and MySQL (but I grew up in the old DOS command days).

Sorry to dig up an old thread...Is there any way to make these voltage adjust via the command-line?  Essentially, if the room temperature exceeds a certain value then a command would be automatically sent (perhaps via windows CMD).

Thanks.

Thank you!!!  I will give this a try when I get back.  I really appreciate your help as I couldn't find anyone that had a clue what to try...!

There is no SD card in the slot.  Also, I wouldn't say that I am locked out as I can change settings and the unit works.  I just can't change the firmware.

I am interested in trying the SD card but I don't see firmware for an S9.  Is there no way to just do a hard reset?  I have tried the IP button and reset and it still boots to BraiinsOs.  Thanks again!

When I try to update the Firmware I get "The uploaded image file does not contain a supported format. Make sure that you choose the generic image format for your platform."

I have tried the S9 fixer firmware, Awesome Miner, and latest S9.  It seems that BRAIINS has it locked.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Need to throttle S9, still pulls electric load when the CAT5 is dropped
by
cottora
on 06/10/2019, 21:48:11 UTC
We have a need to shed load when demanded by the power producer.  Short of just "pulling the cord", it seemed that we could drop the connection to the S9 and it would idle; however, our power monitor still shows full load.  Any ideas on how to throttle down on demand (a script would be great)?

Thanks
