User manual

TP LINK WR703N

The USB on the AR9331 has bugs. If you want use serial console, please use the direct serial console on 703N (the /dev/ttyATH0). It's far more stable than USB-serial converter. You may want add a USB hub between machine and 703n

Raspberry Pi

  • The default firmware IP address is 192.168.0.100, you can access it by http://192.168.0.100
  • You may need update the address/DNS to your local configuration. DO NOT FORGET your IP address.
  • If the Raspberry Pi can access internet, cgminer should automatic start

Using BFGMiner

Avalon 2 units communicate with a UART, usually attached to your host via a generic USB UART adapter. First, figure out what COM port (or /dev/ttyUSB on Linux) and run BFGMiner with:

bfgminer -S avalonmm:\\.\COM22 --set avalonmm:clock=1500 --set avalonmm:voltage=1 --set avalonmm:fan=80

Manual by others

Overclock

  • Chip Freq: 1700, Voltage: 10750 --> 119GHs
Extra cooling is recommended, GJPMiningco recommends removing the slide panel that covers the heatsink and adding some fans that blow down into the heatsink - at least 3 fans evenly spaced along the heatsink.

Avalon3 CGMiner Under Ubuntu 14.04

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev pkg-config libtool libncurses5-dev libudev-dev screen xterm
sudo apt-get install git-core
sudo apt-get install openssh-server byobu
sudo apt-get install autoconf
sudo apt-get install automake

Inside your home directory, download Cgminer
sudo git clone https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer

cd cgminer
sudo ./autogen.sh --enable-avalon2
sudo make -j 4

-
sudo ./cgminer -S /dev/ttyUSB0 --avalon2-freq 500 --avalon2-voltage 7250 --avalon2-fan 50 -o http://stratum.pool:3333 -u  work -p pass 
or
sudo ./cgminer -S /dev/ttyUSB0 --avalon2-freq 500 --avalon2-voltage 7250 --avalon2-fan 50 -o http://stratum.pool:3333 -u  work -p pass --api-allow W:192.168.2,W:192.168.2.1 --api-listen $@ 2>./log

If you use cgminer 4.5.0, the command will like this: 

sudo ./cgminer --avalon2-freq 500 --avalon2-voltage 7250 --avalon2-fan 50 -o http://stratum.pool:3333 -u  work -p pass 
or
sudo ./cgminer --avalon2-freq 500 --avalon2-voltage 7250 --avalon2-fan 50 -o http://stratum.pool:3333 -u  work -p pass --api-allow W:192.168.2,W:192.168.2.1 --api-listen $@ 2>./log

  • NOTICE: Only for testing
  • Fixed fan speed can be change by users.

Test plan

  • New firmware don't break Avalon for sure
  • New firmware don't use all flash. have to keep some space for save configuration
  • Either and WiFi(703N) connect works fine
  • Cgminer works fine(the kernel user driver, cgminer it self, cgminer-monitor and uci configurations files)
  • After configure cgminer. [Save & Apply] can restart the cgminer
  • The Status/API log page works fine
  • Test mining. the hashrate should be correct
  • Test the cgminer-monitor. make sure it can restart cgminer
  • When network was down poweroff ASIC
  • Automatic fan adjustment
  • Make sure 80/22/4028 open on WAN.
  • Test 10 avalon2 single module with one host (703N or RPi)
