So about 14 hours ago I had one of my S1s die, no link light on the Ethernet port on the S1, no hashing LEDs on either blade (no clicking either), just silence with a slow flashing green LED and a solid red LED on the controller board. I tried resetting it with the reset button (I had to do that once before due to a network misconfiguration).
I'm fairly certain the OpenWRT board has died on this Antminer. I've already contacted Sushi about replacing it (since they're only about a month old), however in the mean time, since each blade acts independently, is there a way to connect one or both blades from one S1 to the control board of another one? I've taken a look at how they're wired, and it looks like the controllers are only designed with the one input, and they may lack the processor capacity to functionally use more chips, but anything to reduce my downtime would be assistive!
Has anyone managed to salvage a control board, and if so, how? I see the board has a JTAG interface, and I was thinking about poking around with a debugger, but I don't really know what I'm doing at that point (I guess if I could get to the shell I could run dmesg to see if there are errors, but I don't even know if the board is booting at this point).
Any help would be appreciated! Hashing downtime negatively affects my chances at ROI in a very real way. (:
