= 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:
bfgminer -S avalonmm:\\.\COM22 --set avalonmm:clock=450 --set avalonmm:voltage=0.6625 --set avalonmm:fan=80
= Firmware =
== 703n/RPi Host Firmware ==
After 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 =
== 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 protocol.md
== 2014-06-06 ==
* MM version: 331406-35fef700
* Turn on the red led when the module id was match.
== 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
== 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
== 2014-04-17 ==
* MM Version: 331404-b191ace0
* Add ASIC core test code, host application is avalon3-a3233-modular-test.py
* Fix the power good shifter, it is binary format. 0x1F mean all 5 power module are good.
== 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 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
== 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
