mm-tools is a program to upgrade Avalon4 mm firmware through Raspberry Pi and AUC.

Support mm versions(MM-4.0: >= 401412-7ef4ab10, MM-4.1: Any one)

Ugrade file link: For MM-4.0 For MM-4.1

Method 1:Upgrade it through CLI

In order to use mm-tools, you should use RASPBIAN image on your Raspberry Pi. Keep AUC connect the same as mining before upgrade.

  • How to use mm-tools
1. Install dependency
   sudo su
   apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libudev-dev
2. Clone & Compile & Run
   git clone https://github.com/Canaan-Creative/Avalon-extras.git
   cd ./Avalon-extras/mm-tools && ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make
   sudo su
   wget http://downloads.canaan-creative.com/software/avalon4/mm/latest/mm.mcs -O ./mm.mcs && ./mm_tools

Method 2:Upgrade it through LuCI

Use the latest avalon firmware for Raspberry Pi(Model B) openwrt-brcm2708-sdcard-vfat-ext4.img

You can upgrade mm firmware through the page: Status->MM Upgrade
