has anyone tried the firmware downgrade ? want to try the December to return, but I fear the brick to

Anyone update to update_180112.bin and notice the config section is bugged up ?

When I click CONFIG to change settings everything is blank in the pools and voltage option menus. Unable to change settings.


-edit update, might of been a browser cache problem.

Hi,

just started to Setup my new A4+ (first time ever that I Setup a miner).

I have uploaded the new Firmware, Settings seem OK.
However:

Even after 5hours operating, I still see in the "Minor Status" site only three rotating asterixes ("Sanduhren"). No Contents/ results, only the template
Sometimes the fan Speeds up.

Who can help?

Hi,

I placed an order for 10 units on 12/21. It took my bank several days to confirm the wire as they wanted to make sure I wasn't getting ripped off. Innosilicon confirmed my wire on 12/29.

On 1/3, they provided me with a DHL tracking number and I received my units today!

I have put four into service and they all seem to be working as expected within their stated +- 8%.

They came with firmware dated 12/29 and I've only updated 1 of them to the latest version...

Does anyone have the 12/29 firmware version? I updated the one but I'd like to compare the performance to the earlier version.

Hello Everyone,  I would first like to think everyone who’s has contributed to this thread very informative.

I just received my A4+ yesterday and have a few issues to get worked out.  It looks like mine is a G19 and a build date of December 15.

First question is should I do the upgrade first before configuring network IP address?  I noticed accessing the browser was a little buggy and had to be constantly restarted.  It also hanged up a lot when accessing different  tabs.  I just didn’t want to lose access while in middle of update so haven’t updated yet.

I think because my gate way is 10.0.0.1 I need to use the network cross cable method to configure IP address correctly. 

I did change my gateway to 192.168.1.1 which allowed me to access 192.168.1.254.  The problem is all other devices are 10.0.0.* on network including an Antminer S9 which went offline.

The steps I plan to take to tackle the IP configuration.
1. Change gateway back to 10.0.0.1.
2. Then take a crossover cable and connect A4+ to laptop off network.
3. Go into the settings on laptop and change IP address to 192.168.1.1.  Try to access A4+ with 192.168.1.254 and change Network to DCHP.
4. Change laptop back to dynamic IP
5. Reconnect A4+ and laptop back onto 10.0.0.1 gateway.
6. Look up new IP address for A4+
7. Hope this address allows connection.

I want to make sure to do firmware update correctly so here are my step
1. Download latest build Jan###
2. Save to desktop
3. Access miner from browser
4. Go to update tab
5. Select file to update
6. Run
7. Keep fingers crossed!

Hopefully this make the browser less buggy!

Thanks for any insight to these steps about to be performed.

Also, what PSU are you guys using?  I thought I was getting a Innosilicon version, but was shipped a 1850 watt PSU that is European voltage 180-240 volt with yellow & black leads. 

I ended up testing with Bitmain power supply.

I’m in process of upgrading circuit to 220 volt to run both miners on same circuit.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Hello. I bought an ASIC, previously configured. Someone changed the password 12345678 to another. An instruction is required to reset the ASIC A4 + Dominator password. Specified in the instruction 12345678, does not accept
Resetting to factory settings - does not help. Is it possible to configure via telnet? thanks for the help

Well... a few days with 50 A4+ now and they really do suck.

I've got all 50 in Awesome Miner so I know when they stop mining and the stats aren't good.
If I mine on a pool that isn't 100% stable/efficient they can't handle it and where I assume the AntMiner D3s/S9s I have just deals with it  and pick up where it left off the A4+ stops mining and restarts the mining process, losing you 5-10minutes of shares. NiceHash is a complete no-go too, they're can't handle it for some reason (vardiff?)

I'm using litecoinpool.org and this does appear to have helped stability. will update again in a few days.

This works, I was able to edit the inno-config file but I still can not add it to the awesome miner program. "Failed to connect. Please ensure that the correct hostname has been entered. 

I've a Innosilicon A5, any ideas?

Thank's

Very true, but be aware; I've had this one nasty issue where some of the .pyc files got corrupted. While the file system is read-only, this could never happen (I believe the decision to make the FS to read-only was not just to bug the miners, but to eliminate some of the issues that could happen). It's not that big of a work to manually switch between rw&ro when needed and honestly believe that is the safer route.

Wow awesome! I believe this was a huge help. And I'm asking for others much smarter than me to help.


E: Yeah, most likely DES. And unfortunately the right pw wasn't found in the "inno" wordlist. Damn.
E2: I've submitted this to be cracked by crack.sh - let's see.

I have been thinking about cracking the password but my skills in that area are limited to bruteforcing. If there is someone clever enough to give me some pointers for more sophisticated methods, they would be most appreciated... I
 made a wordlist for 8 characters long password, all starting with the word "inno" and rest characters are all lower & uppercase alphabets and numbers.

I just got the A4+, but I'm having problems connecting to the control page (192.168.1.254). I've changed the IP of my computer, checked that all the cables on the miner were fastened and in place, and ensured that the ethernet cable running from my router was giving an internet connection, but the control page still won't load and the red "fault" button flashes on the miner from time to time. Any ideas on how to fix this?

For those that might have the same problem. Looks like my a4+ corrupted files during  a reboot  then stopped working.
/home/inno_tools/start_miner.py

The damn thing deleted a couple characters and killed itself.
Here's what the file looked like

vi /lib/python3.4/_sysconfigdata.py...

 'HAVE_GETLOGIN': 1,
 'HAVE_GETNAMEINFO': 1,
 'HAVE_GETPAGESIZE': 1,
E_GETPEERNAME': 1,
 'HAVE_GETPGID': 1,
 'HAVE_GETPGRP': 1,
...

There might have been more errors, i dunno. I coped the file from another miner and now it works.
Symptoms were the HTTP control page loading, but not showing any data e.g. not showing me  "miner type" under system.
I found the file by manually running each of the commands in /etc/init.d/rcS

Good luck to the rest of you.

I'll just leave these here as a reminder.
Why doesn't the hash rate reported by the pool match that reported by my miner?
The pool keeps reporting a much lower hash rate than my miner. What's going on?
