hmm.... seems not many people know our wiki page:
  https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon

Here is for nano:
  https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon_nano#Cgminer_for_Avalon_nano

The cgminer support Avalon nano out of box after 4.7.0:

I just wish we could get it compiled into BFGMiner or cgminer standalone.  I keep messing with them and no luck.  I worked CLI to fine tune settings and they still dive off a cliff for some reason.  Start out well and then just stop.  
They are fun I like the way they throttle based on temps and such in a more active way than previous USB miners.
Been interesting for sure.
You would not happen to have cg or bfg standalone would you?

Forward to mailing list.

Xiangfu

Next questions:

1.  Can we do like that  :Power  0.9 V -> pin1 VDDIO  [ chip N]  pin42 VDDIO -> pin1 VDDIO [chip N+1], without connection on PCB between pin1 and pin 42 on the same  ASIC

2. VDDPLL is pin 14 ; pin 29 is  NC(not connected). Can we use  pin 29 for VDDPLL to the next ASIC

3. The NC (not connected ) pins do they have some function ( i.e. Inputs, Outputs etc.)

Hi

You can email to this mailing list:
  http://lists.canaan-creative.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discussion
(All canaan creative developers was there)

And you can join the IRC #avalon @freenode.net
(Most of the developers was there)

I can answer one of this question. [Why there are 3 Clock Configuration words]:
Because there ~4000 cores inside the Avalon4 28nm. so we split those 4000 cores to three group. then we can make the three group work at different clock. this is a great design I think. that can make all core work at best condition base on voltage and clock.

I will update your questions to wiki(en.bitcoin.it/wiki/avalon4) then others can see the answers.

BTW:
I have forward your question to mailing list. (http://lists.canaan-creative.com/pipermail/discussion/2014-September/thread.html)
Xiangfu

Thank you .
As far I still do not have contact for technical questions .
Please andswer to the rest questions .
Here is a new one too:
Not clear how to calculate the register contents for the clock Configuration
Fout = Fref * NF / NR * Next -> what means Next?
Now is calculated OD, BWADJ.
Why there are 3 Clock Configuration words in the A3222Q56 Configure Sequence - (Clock Configuration 2, Clock Configuration 1, Clock Configuration 0)

I recently acquired an Avalon 2 (200GH) clone and want to update software. Do I just download this file....openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-factory.bin.....or others as well within the folder...never done it before I am an Avalon newbie.....thanks

Hi,
I'm not terribly familiar with programming FPGAs - and I'm sure I'm not alone on that. Are there some simple instructions describing equipment required, and how to program?

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon1#Update_FPGA_controller_firmware
There are two methods: using free software xc3sprog + Jtag or using xilinx tools.

Do you foresee any problem programming the FPGA on 3rd party 'clone' avalon miners (e.g. lketc's avalon3 miner)? They seem to have much different electronics layout and it is quite possible that they tweak the source to match their design (it's impossible to tell for sure, as they do not provide source code).

lketc's avalon3 miner do use MM from Avalon (direct download from http://downloads.canaan-creative.com). they didn't change anything.

There is another project using MM firmware. named: HashRatio (Machine: 768G). they using asicminer's ASIC. there is a Chinese post talking about that:

Hi

How do you compile your cgminer? you have to add --enable-avalon2 for cgminer support Avalon2 machine. or you can use the compiled firmware for 703n or Rpi:

The major differences is OpenWrt update to r38031 and update Cgminer to latest(Version: 3.4.3 Latest commit: d5f61e9, Sep 22 2013) you can see that at the ChangeLog Smiley
  https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon#20130923

Thanks Xiangfu!  My question is what are the major differences between ckolivas' 20130821 and this new xiangfu 20130923?  I did run xiangfu's 20130723 for a bit on my Batch 3 just fine, but I've been happy with 20130821 so I am not exactly itching to change...  

Seem like both Xiangfu and cklovias use OpenWRT r37008 but the new one upgrades cgminer 3.4.0 to 3.4.4?

Hi

There is a new Avalon firmware released (Version: 20130923), update your Avalon to latest firmware is always better.
  Please read the ChangeLog before reflash, here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon#20130923
  The firmware test plan: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon#Test_Plan
  You can find the firmware here: http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/xiangfu/avalon/latest/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-factory.bin. don't forget compare the chksum.

The biggest update was the Cgminer. you will have the best mining software in your Avalon after upgrade. hope we have 45% Avalon upgrade in 72 hours.  Grin.  also I have update the Openwrt to latest release. means your Avalon will gain some more open source power(OpenWrt r37008, Linux 3.10.12 ...)

淘宝上一大堆的充值都比你的便宜,充50只要49。你这里不但原价,还要手续费呢。。

You can use taobao.com. but it's not cool at all. the key is not about 1块, you know this website cannot even cover the cost Grin the key is we have such website in China. then what we want do with this website? what feature do you want on such website? 点卡?Q币?

Please give us feedback and don't compare Btctelecom with taobao.com. it's such different thing.
