Version 3.3.0 - 24th June 2013
- Add an --avalon-temp option to allow a user specified target temperature.
- Demote no matching work message to verbose logging only on avalon.
- Make the fan control on the avalon a simple PID controller with a target
temperature of 45.
- Demote bflsc hw error messages to verbose logging only.
- bflsc - handle xlink timeouts by having generic IO functions
- Demote the invalid nonce warning to log info.
- Ignore iManufacturer for BFLSC devices since the device name will still match
and some unbinned chips are missing it.
- sc_count shouldn't be +1 in bflsc.
- Use the info timeout for read_nl in getidentify bflsc.
- Add a usb_read_nl_timeout macro.
- bflsc try getinfo twice
- set MSG_ASCUSBNODEV always defined
- Hard code the preferred packet size for AMU, BLT and ICA.
- API V1.26 update ASIC support
- Icarus enable the read buffer for the detect nonce
- Support new overclocking speeds for avalon: 325, 350 and 375
- undo icarus show errno, put it as debug in ubsutils
- icarus add errno to rerr and werr
- Sleep after sending icarus work to emulate working at 115200 baud.
- Use the nusleep function for sleeping after sending work in avalon.
- Show an integer only for diff if it is one.
- Set the avalon preferred packet size to 512.
- Reinstate the maxPacketSize determined by the end descriptor but allow the
driver to override it.
- Only update hashmeter if we have done hashes or haven't updated longer than
the log interval, fixing a us/ms error.
- Use only one cgsem in avalon signalling when the write thread should commit
work by reading the status bytes off during an avalon_read, minimising the
number of usb calls and resetting from only one place.
- Change avalon no valid work message to no matching work to match API
terminology.
- Use low latency usb transfers on the avalon, sleeping up to half a buffer's
worth only if no data is returning to increase hashrate, abolish lost work and
decrease CPU.
- Minimise the sleep times in avalon read to avoid result loss.
- Use a half nonce range before cycling through avalon's scanwork to ensure it
gets a chance to fill work if time is tight for the write thread to signal a
wakeup.
- Temporarily limit usb transfer sizes to 512 till we provide a way for each
driver to choose the upper limit.
- Increase watchdog sick time to longer than it takes for a pool to be detected
dead.
- Limit USB transfers to the max size reported by the descriptors.
- Increase the BFLSC timeout to allow the maximum number of results to be
returned for BAS in time.
- Decrease BAL and BAS latency to be just larger than one result read.
- disable curses device resize that crashes on windows
- BFLSC latest firmware has its own thermal cutoff set to 90, so use the same
value in case we have an old firmware that isn't throttling by itself.
- Drop watermark low limits for bflsc.
- Set the fanspeed on bflsc to max if we don't know the temperature.
- Use a low watermark for queueing mandatory work on bflsc instead of zero.
- Only mandatorily grab the bflsc mutex on submitting work when the queue is
empty.
- Adjust bflsc v2 watermarks.
- Only increase sleep time on bflsc if the queue isn't emptying at all over the
sleep duration.
- Fix warning.
- bflsc yet more API stats
- bflsc add some more API stats
- bflsc correct firmware matching
- bflsc correct comment
- Fixed Commands with No params
- bflsc driver support for v2 firmware
- Odd Issues
- Fixed Python Example
- Added Python Api Example
- Added Python Api Example
- Multiplier fail for microseconds vs milliseconds when updating hashmeter in
hash_queued_work.
- Only make threads report in/out across the actual driver code and update their
status on reporting out as well as in.
- usbutils initialise close key/sem
- usbutils cleanup linux semaphores on release
- Difficulty should be unconditionally byteswapped, not swapped to big endian.
- We should be setting cancelstate, not canceltype when disabling it for usb
locking.
- Pthread cancel state should be set to disable on usb DEVLOCK.
- Fanauto on bflsc is Z9X according to the source code, not 5 as per the draft
protocol document.
Version 3.2.2 - 16th June 2013
- Record and report USB pipe errors via API stats
