Title: HOW TO UPDATE CGMINER on BAMT 0.5.c Post by: Mobius on November 25, 2012, 02:25:17 AM Here are the instructions:
This is to update bamt 0.5c to the latest cgminer and allow you to pull update directly from the git repository bamt 0.5c will only work with AMD/ATI 5xxx and 6xxx cards bamt 0.5c will not work with AMD/ATI 7xxx cards or nvidia ( seperate instructions for 7xxx cards are available by searching the forums) burn a new usb with bamt 0.5c boot into bamt change password (instructions in bamt forum) start gpumon Code: gpumon Hit F for fixer to update update to fix 19 - skip the rest Hit q to exit gpumon Here we get the file with a working git profile for BAMT Code: cd /opt/miners You'll need to edit update.sh Code: nano update.sh replace the content of update.sh with: Code: export DISPLAY=:0 add the following at the end of update.sh Code: sync save the file (Ctrl-x,y) compile cgminer Code: ./update.sh replace mother as per https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.msg1092936;topicseen#msg1092936 Code: cd /opt/bamt re-login to bamt switch to the cgminer directory Code: cd /opt/miners/cgminer create a cgminer.conf if you do not already have one - format is explained in the cgminer forum - a working sample is in the next post below. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=127622.msg1355667#msg1355667 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=127622.msg1355667#msg1355667) start gpumon Code: gpumon enter c to edit the config file make sure you have the following lines in the configuration file in the section after the line (formatting is important) Code: settings: also configure the gpu#: sections according to your needs and include Code: gpu0: Once you have configured and tested the bamt usb key make another image file of the USBkey and save it to make additional usb keys for your rigs and/or when the actual USBkey wears out (always keep a spare ready to use) and test it!

Can someone help. I did the steps on replacing the mother file. but the first set of instructions didnt work for updating cgminer so I did ckolivas and that worked but mother still restarts cgminer every ten seconds
edit huh I dont know what I did but it eventually took lol after the 3rd time Title: Re: HOW TO UPDATE CGMINER on BAMT 0.5.c Post by: abracadabra on March 16, 2013, 05:17:25 PM on a recent git pull (not sure what version, maybe 2.10.5) the make wasn't finding the headers/lib files correctly.
I needed to change the update.sh file a bit to this: Quote #!/bin/bash export DISPLAY=:0 export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1 rm *.bin make clean cd / tar xf /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32/icd-registration.tgz ln -s /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32/include/CL /usr/include ln -s /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32/lib/x86/* /usr/lib/ ldconfig cd /opt/miners/cgminer ./autogen.sh ATISTREAMSDKROOT="/opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32/" CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure --enable-bitforce --bindir="/opt/miners/cgminer" --prefix="/opt/miners/cgminer" make -j3 sync ./cgminer -n Title: Re: HOW TO UPDATE CGMINER on BAMT 0.5.c Post by: lastbit on March 16, 2013, 11:59:17 PM I successfully upgraded BAMT to cgminer 2.11.2 using segabtc quoted instructions. Thank you.
Title: Re: HOW TO UPDATE CGMINER on BAMT 0.5.c Post by: Nancarrow on March 21, 2013, 06:23:22 PM Aargh this isn't quite working for me yet.
When I run autogen.sh I end up with the following messages: Configuration Options Summary: curses.TUI...........: FOUND: -lncurses OpenCL...............: NOT FOUND. GPU mining support DISABLED configure: error: No mining configured in I presume this also happens if I do update.sh instead, but everything scrolls past too quickly. Why can't it find OpenCL? Where should it look? How can I tell it where? This is on a fresh BAMT stick. ETA: so after reading segabtc's and abracadabra's posts more carefully, and studying update.sh, I ran the command Quote ln -s /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32/include/CL /usr/include ... then update.sh again. This at least gets rid of the above problem... now it found OpenCL, GPU mining is ENabled. BUT: still no mining. :'( ETA2; never mind... herp derp. My cgminer.conf was bollixed but it's okay now. Though it's mildly annoying that I can't see any share submission stats on the web interface or the gpumon main screen, only the cgminer screen. If anyone can help with that it'd be shazam. Title: Re: HOW TO UPDATE CGMINER on BAMT 0.5.c Post by: abracadabra on March 21, 2013, 09:29:17 PM does gpumon show anything?
did you update mother as described above? did you do all the BAMT updates minus #20? Title: Re: HOW TO UPDATE CGMINER on BAMT 0.5.c Post by: superfastkyle on March 22, 2013, 07:51:06 AM whats the best way to switch pools on a bunch of rigs at once? I think the developer of bamt recommended rsync. Can someone explain how to use rsync or anything really to sync a cgminer config file against several rigs?
Title: Re: HOW TO UPDATE CGMINER on BAMT 0.5.c Post by: Mobius on March 22, 2013, 11:53:27 AM I use a script to do it:
Code: #!/bin/bash add as many rig#="Ip Address of Rig" and copy and edit the echo line with rig# as needed Title: Re: HOW TO UPDATE CGMINER on BAMT 0.5.c Post by: Nancarrow on March 22, 2013, 05:59:51 PM Just to clarify... my miners ARE working now, it's just that the hashrate and submitted/rejected shares aren't showing up on the web interface or the main gpumon screen. Lots of other info is... temperatures, fan speeds, volt/mem settings.
does gpumon show anything? did you update mother as described above? did you do all the BAMT updates minus #20? As above, yes, and yes. Is it possible it has something to do with my API settings? Here are the lines I've got in cgminer.conf: Quote "api-listen" : true, "api-network" : true, "api-allow" : "W127.0.0.1,W192.168.0.100,W:192.168.0.102,W:192.168.0.103,W:192.168.0.104", blah.100 is my laptop for everyday use, blah.10{2,3,4} are my rigs. Title: Re: HOW TO UPDATE CGMINER on BAMT 0.5.c Post by: superfastkyle on March 22, 2013, 06:07:55 PM so thats a call to cgminer itself to go to the next pool? do you have to specify that port in your config
Title: Re: HOW TO UPDATE CGMINER on BAMT 0.5.c Post by: Marrs on March 22, 2013, 06:22:49 PM I use a script to do it: Code: #!/bin/bash add as many rig#="Ip Address of Rig" and copy and edit the echo line with rig# as needed Instead of hard coding a separate echo line for each rig, you can do something like this: Code: #!/bin/bash Title: Re: HOW TO UPDATE CGMINER on BAMT 0.5.c Post by: superfastkyle on March 23, 2013, 04:54:28 AM I get this message "STATUS=E,When=1364014383,Code=25,Msg=Missing pool id parameter,Description=cgmin er 2.11.2|192.168.1.115"

Hey I never said it was perfect or even that it was ideal. But it is something you can copy and paste and will get the job done. If somebody would make a better script to just copy and paste and go, I'm all for it. But it is alot easier than making your own script for newbs.

But my miner is not working. I am guessing it has something to do with the cgminer.conf file. The IP address part im unclear about. Am I suppossed to put my miner's IP address in that field, or is this intended to point the miner to another machine that is running the proxy?
Title: Re: HOW TO UPDATE CGMINER on BAMT 0.5.c Post by: Mobius on April 16, 2013, 03:21:42 AM no proxy needed, look at sample .conf file in opening post
Title: Re: HOW TO UPDATE CGMINER on BAMT 0.5.c Post by: logicbomb666 on April 16, 2013, 04:30:34 AM I'm sorry, I misspoke. (I'm pretty noobish when it comes to this stuff) I was referring to this...
Quote You'll need to edit --api-allow W:192.168.1.1,W:192.168.1.31,W:127.0.0.1 for your specific ip addresses you want to allow access to the cgminer API I do not know what the api-allow ips are for. Title: Re: HOW TO UPDATE CGMINER on BAMT 0.5.c Post by: Mobius on April 16, 2013, 06:45:06 AM It is the IP address of the systems you wish to allow to access the API system in that instance of BAMT. W:127.0.0.1 and the IP Address of the Actual BAMT rig itself (I.E. W:192.168.1.31) are necessary for BAMT to work correctly with cgminer. The W:192.168.1.1 is the address of a remote machine you designate to be able to send API commands (read the API-README for more information)
Title: Re: HOW TO UPDATE CGMINER on BAMT 0.5.c Post by: Zanatos666 on April 16, 2013, 01:34:21 PM Isnt configuring the API only really needed if you are running some program that is going to access and collect info for display from BAMT? I dont use that code. I guess if you are wanting to track things from outside of your network, then yeah. But not having a properly configured API wouldnt prevent the system from mining would it? The API would just fail and not work, but that shouldnt stop the miner from actually connecting to the servers and mining, right?

check to see if cgminer is running.. (type "screen -ls") if there's a screen with cgminer running, attach to it to see what it's doing.. (type "screen -r") if cgminer is not running, attempt to start it and see what it's saying.. - change to cgminer directory (type "cd /opt/miners/cgminer") - start cgminer (type "./cgminer -c cgminer.conf") Title: Re: HOW TO UPDATE CGMINER on BAMT 0.5.c Post by: Izael on April 20, 2013, 01:36:35 PM There is a few mistakes that we must change:

You need write a " before the number 20. Quote "gpu-powertune" : 20", "gpu-powertune" : "20", And one thing more... we now can do all fix in BAMT, there is a new FIX #21 that do a solution to fix #20, so now not is a problem do the fix in row until end.

Appears to have been mining all along? http://www.seriallogic.com/pictures/working.jpg yes.. looks like gpumon is not getting the info from cgminer via the api. try testing the api and see if you can get info from it manually Title: Re: HOW TO UPDATE CGMINER on BAMT 0.5.c Post by: Zanatos666 on April 20, 2013, 06:03:10 PM Pardon my ignorance, but in your BAMT conf file, when you declare using cgminer_opts:, do you need the -k phtak --api listen at the end of that? I use a similar setup and I dont use those options. Also, below when you are configuring your GPU, I see that you are enabling it to change your core, clock, and other settings. Again, I dont do that either. For my GPU settings I simply enable it, and then enable cgminer for it (cgminer : 1).
You are redirecting BAMT to the cgminer.conf file and in there is where all of your arguments are and it will get all of its info, nothing else should be needed inside of the BAMT conf. You dont even need to edit the pools conf file in BAMT, again, cgminer.conf will do all of that for you.

I am not sure if the the -k phatk --api listen info after declaring the use of cgminer is a requirment, I just copy and pasted from the instructions. I left my previous BAMT conf setting alone so I could easily flip back and forth between the 2 different miners if needed. I think you are correct, once cgminer is up and running, you no longer need any of the extra stuff in the bamt.conf and you wont need the pools conf either. As far as gpumon being used for mining status, i'm not sure if it pulls the settings (temp hi, temp low, etc.) from cgminer.conf or bamt.conf. yes.. looks like gpumon is not getting the info from cgminer via the api. try testing the api and see if you can get info from it manually I have adjusted the correct IPs in the api settings in both the bamt.conf and the cgimner.conf. gpumon now shows live statistics for me. Thanks for everyone's help. Maybe one day, after a lot of experience and even more help from the community, I might actually be smart enough to help someone else out for once. :-D Title: Re: HOW TO UPDATE CGMINER on BAMT 0.5.c Post by: Zanatos666 on April 22, 2013, 06:30:37 PM Mobius, will there be instructions on updating to 3.0 now that its out?

Actually yes I did, and it does not specifically say "do this every time to download the newest version and keep up to date". Sorry, some of us actually look for definite statements instead of inferred ones.

Title: Re: HOW TO UPDATE CGMINER on BAMT 0.5.c Post by: Zanatos666 on August 16, 2013, 08:10:30 PM So, I took down the post I have and am just going to post what to do here since all of the other steps are here, and only really need one step changed.
During the nano update.sh process, just need to change the ./configure flags. This will enable scrypt mining, Block Erupters, Avalon and any BFL device. Code: export DISPLAY=:0 |
