most current cgminer version so no configuration should be necessary. It is
possible to plug a USB cable from a PC into the Avalon device and use the
--avalon-options copying the command as used by the internal router used by the
Avalon. However since the Avalon code still currently uses the old serial usb
interface and is being rewritten to use direct USB, it is prudent to not be
dependent on this command long term, assuming it will go away.
Avalon. eg:
--avalon-options 115200:24:10:45:282
The values are baud : miners : asic count : timeout : frequency.
Baud:
The device is pretty much hard coded to emulate 115200 baud so you shouldn't
change this.
Miners:
Most Avalons are 3 module devices, which come to 24 miners. 4 module devices
would use 32 here.
Asic count:
Virtually all have 10, so don't change this.
Timeout:
This is how long the device will work on a work item before accepting new work
to replace it. It should be changed according to the frequency (last setting).
It is possible to set this a little lower if you are trying to tune for short
block mining (eg p2pool) but much lower and the device will start creating
duplicate shares.
Sample settings for different frequencies (last 2 values):
43:300
45:282
47:270
50:256
Frequency:
This is the clock speed of the devices. Only specific values work, 256, 270,
282 (default) and 300.
If you use the full curses based interface with Avalons you will get this
information:
AVA 0: 22/ 46C 60%/2400R
The values are:
ambient temp / highest device temp set fan % / lowest detected fan RPM.
Use the API for more detailed information than this.
