== Debug port ==
[[File:DEBUG.jpeg | 300px]]

= Using BFGMiner =

Avalon 3 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:

<code>bfgminer -S avalonmm:\\.\COM22 --set avalonmm:clock=450 --set avalonmm:voltage=0.6625 --set avalonmm:fan=80</code>

= Firmware =
== 703n/RPi Host Firmware ==
After '''[https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon2#20140320 20140320]''', the Avalon2 firmware support both Avalon2 and Avalon3 out of box. Please download the firmware here:
  https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon2#Firmware

= MM Firmware =

== [http://downloads.canaan-creative.com/software/avalon3/2014-08-08/ 2014-08-08] ==
* MM Version: '''331408-a15cac80'''
* Add long coinbase1 support.
* '''Support p2pool''' (Avalon project have a server for p2pool in HK, Domain name: p2pool.ehash.com)
* Disable DEBUG when release. Cleanup the gpio LED and reset code, etc.
* Update [https://github.com/Canaan-Creative/MM/blob/master/firmware/doc/protocol.md protocol.md]

== [http://downloads.canaan-creative.com/software/avalon3/2014-06-06/ 2014-06-06] ==
* MM version: '''331406-35fef700'''
* Turn on the red led when the module id was match.

== [http://downloads.canaan-creative.com/software/avalon3/2014-05-27/ 2014-05-27] ==
* MM version: '''331406-fe02da80'''
* Add code for turn on red LED
* When all those two temperature sensors bigger then 90C. power off ASIC.
* Clean old local works when get detect message
* Add one quick poweroff self test, indicator by red LED.
* Known Iusse: All modules(connect to one usb-serial port) red led will blinking when turn on any one of them

== [http://downloads.canaan-creative.com/software/avalon3/2014-05-04/ 2014-05-04] ==
* MM Version: '''331404-dbb0c7c0'''
* Support newest ADP board
* Fixed a typo on read temperature
* Change default modules count from 3 to 4

== [http://downloads.canaan-creative.com/software/avalon3/2014-04-17/ 2014-04-17] ==
* MM Version: '''331404-b191ace0'''
* Add ASIC core test code, host application is [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BitSyncom/avalon-extras/master/scripts/avalon3-a3233-modular-test.py avalon3-a3233-modular-test.py]
* Fix the power good shifter, it is binary format. 0x1F mean all 5 power module are good.

== [http://downloads.canaan-creative.com/software/avalon3/2014-04-01/ 2014-04-01] ==
* MM Version: '''331404-ed2bbc80'''
* When temp > 90C. MM will power off all ASICs
* Make the Avalon3 MM 100% compatible with Cgminer Avalon2 code
* Please use the Avalon2 703n/RPi firmware after [http://downloads.canaan-creative.com/software/avalon2/2014-03-20/ 2014-03-20].  the firmware will support both Avalon2(A3255) and Avalon3(A3233). '''PLEASE NOTICE'''
** The voltage range is different
** Voltage: '''0.6v ~ 0.8v'''
** The frequency is Mhz not MHs under Avalon3. so the range is
** Frequency: '''400MHz ~ 650Mhz''' (MHz * 11.81 = MHs)
** For example: if you config the Frequency to 400 under Avalon3 that mean 400 * 11.81 = ~4.7GHs

== [http://downloads.canaan-creative.com/software/avalon3/NEXT-TESTING/ NEXT-TESTING] ==
* NOTICE: Only for testing

= Design file =
You can put 7 or 10 chips per small miner.
 7 chips: high hashrate with more power consume
 10 chips: high hashrate with more ASICs. save more power

== 20140319 ==
* Fix one component footprint

== 20140317 ==
* Init version
