Hi. I just solved the problem. Thanks for your help.

The problem was the USB cable from the RPi to the AUC2. We were using a brand new cable that came with those tiny cell-battery chargers that are given away at most trade shows.

I had brought the entire system to work and my IT guessed that to be the problem after researching for an hour or so. I kept thinking that it was a bad AUC2.

He plugged in the new cable and it started to mine!

Thanks.

What screen(s) should I do the network settings of?

OK. We installed Putty on our PC and accessed the RPi Root User.

When we ping google.com, we get: "ping: bad address 'google.com'"
When we ping an IP that is pingable in a CMD prompt on our Windows machine, we get: "ping: sendto: Network unreachable'"

Any ideas now?

Thanks.

Thanks. Any idea what the default PW would be for the Pi?

Thanks.

Hi. I'm new to mining. I can access the Avalon6 webpage. I have tried Kano.is and Solo.ckpool.org and nothing ever happens. I enter the addresses (for example stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333), my Bitcoin Wallet Address and x for the PW.

The Cgminer API log gives this message: Socket connect failed: Connection refused.

Any ideas?

Anyone know where I can get one (and the cable)? Thanks.

Hi. We can get the Avalon6/Pi working properly. The PSU stays on with the fan on low. The fan on the Avalon6 comes on loudly for a couple of seconds and then stops. The light on the black blinks yellowish-green.

The Pi has the software from Canaan.io, but the system really never boots up.

When we bought the Avalon6, it didn't come with a 4pin to usb, so we bought this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000IV6S9S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, but some posts seem to say that we need an AUC2. Is this my problem?

Or do you think the problem is solely on the Pi software? When I run the Pi, hooked up to a monitor, it says "Link is not ready". If I then plug it into the Avalon6, it starts looping, showing 4-pixel square (looks like a rainbow) and lines of code. I do notice a line that repeats quite a bit that says "usb 1-1-port2: over-current change" as well as "EXT4-fs error".

Any ideas?

Thanks.

elduderino,

Did you ever get this working? I have the Avalon6 and a Raspberry Pi. I bought this (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000IV6S9S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), but still can't get everything working. Not sure if it's the lack of that AUC2 or something else.

Thanks.
