Fellow miners,

this is the build I use with my AMD rx series rigs.

rxOC is a customized Ubuntu 16.04 build with AMD OC support, manual fan support, auto launching on boot, and a single easy to configure Bash Script (oneBash) which can be configured from a windows pc using wordpad.

Expected Bios settings (I have not tested all of these for AMD rigs):

If you are using an ASRock H81 PRO BTC or BIOSTAR TB85; either should work with without any changes to the bios settings.

If you are using an MSI Z270-A PRO; ensure you enable Above 4G memory (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3ra23kLdr5lX3RWZGlibzY1QzA/view?usp=sharing) option in the bios before connecting the nvOC USB.

If you are using a GIGABYTE GA-B250M-Gaming 3; ensure the Audio Controller is disabled in the bios. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3ra23kLdr5lenQxUW5uUWtmM1k/view?usp=sharing)

If you are using a BIOSTAR TB250-BTC; ensure Miner Mode is enabled in the bios. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3ra23kLdr5lSDI2czY4R1g2SjQ/view?usp=sharing) Also ensure Max TOLUD is set to 3.5 GB in the bios. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3ra23kLdr5lc1VySnNjZGdiQkU/view?usp=sharing)

If you are using an ASUS Z270-F GAMING; ensure 'Above 4G Decoding' is enabled in the bios. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3ra23kLdr5lQ3ctQVdUckJJLTA/view?usp=sharing) Also ensure PTP aware OS: is set to 'Not PTP Aware' in the bios. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3ra23kLdr5lLWtQT0FDcjRUWVE/view?usp=sharing) Finally, ensure you 'Clear Secure Boot Keys' in the bios (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3ra23kLdr5lM3pmUGw3dnJndjQ/view?usp=sharing).

If you are using an MSI Z170-A GAMING M5; ensure 'Above 4G Decoding' (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3ra23kLdr5lZ3dPczFoYndUX1U/view?usp=sharing)is enabled in the bios. Also download, unzip and copy to a usb key ( the 2016-12-19 Version 1.D ) Bios and follow instructions to flash the bios. (https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z170A-GAMING-M5.html#down-bios)

If you are using an ASUS PRIME Z270-A; ensure 'Above 4G Decoding' is enabled in the bios. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3ra23kLdr5lamVuS1hEUTBVVjg/view) Also ensure PTP aware OS: is set to 'Not PTP Aware' in the bios. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3ra23kLdr5lZWs3R1daMVhFdUU/view?usp=sharing) Finally, ensure you 'Clear Secure Boot Keys' in the bios (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3ra23kLdr5lblFCdTN4M2dIQUE/view?usp=sharing).

If you are using a GIGABYTE GA-Z270P-D3; ensure the Audio Controller is disabled in the bios. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3ra23kLdr5lSHdaUnNDVE9jbUU/view?usp=sharing)

If you are using a ASUS PRIME H270-PLUS; You must update the bios; with this motherboard it can be done by connecting an ethernet cable and entering the EZ Flash 3 Utility. Select DHCP and download then install the update. It should look like this. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3ra23kLdr5lTWF0OWFOMUYzb00/view?usp=sharing) After updating ensure 'Above 4G Decoding' is enabled in the bios. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3ra23kLdr5leTRGaGFRVWJhQ28/view?usp=sharing)

If you are using a BIOSTAR RACING Z170GT7; Ensure you are only using the first 6 pcie slots closest to the CPU. Ensure you set Security Device Support to: Disable (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3ra23kLdr5lNlM1RklBQ09jNDA/view?usp=sharing) Finally ensure you set the max TOLUD to 3.5 gb (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3ra23kLdr5ldE91QnhjaVRhSXc/view?usp=sharing)

Hi fullzero,

Could we get a sgminer (with ethash-new.cl) as an alternative to Claymore.

The big news now is Claymore's ASM implementation may have some issues in the coming epoch and diff level.

I am on Claymore for ETH mining and I think we better have Plan B just in case.

Thanks

It should work with R9 fury GPUs.

You have a disk error. Ubuntu grubloader will attempt to repair the error; if you wait a long time it might repair it and boot; but I would do the following:

Reimage the USB key; like so:

first check and see if your zip has downloaded correctly by following the directions here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1984302.msg19757170#msg19757170 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1984302.msg19757170#msg19757170)

If your zip produced the same hash it is good.

Maybe you imaged from the zip without extracting?

Ensure that you extract the image before imaging.

After imaging is complete, and you have configured and saved oneBash:

ensure that you properly eject the USB key.

Let me know if this works.

I did it all the process again, downloading, checking, extracting, flashing.
Same error :( .
I am using an 32Gb Adata USB Key.

Anyone have rxOC working with 7 GPUs on MSI Z170A PRO Carbon motherboard?

I modded the BIOS a month ago and have it running 7 x 470s on Windows 10- but tired of windows instability.

Recently, I tried both smOS and rxOC with no luck.

If any one has been successful, please let me know.

I will also enquire elsewhere to check if EthOS works for this setup.

This mobo should have similar requirements to the z170 gaming 5; but I can't say for sure (as I don't have one myself):

Other members have reported that the Version 1.7 bios is the one to use for this mobo:

Download BIOS Version 1.7: https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z170A-GAMING-PRO-CARBON.html#down-bios

unzip, copy to usb key, attach to rig, use the m-flash to flash the 1.7 bios

then ensure you set Above 4G decoding to enabled

Also you might need to use a skylake CPU: G4400

If you try this let me know how it goes.

Yup- I have a skylake CPU -ie: G4400. I f i have another bad day with my windows 10 system , I will try what you suggested and let you know how it works.

Thx. :)

I'm not sure if anyone is aware of this, but the motherboards that fullzero lists are all intel motherboards.
If anyone was wondering though, I have a MSI 970A SLI Krait Edition AMD motherboard and an Athlon II CPU and I got fed up with ethOS, so I gave rxOC a shot. I can confirm this works with 4 GPUs.

by the way fullzero, thanks for nvOC and rxOC. Amazing work!

okay been trying to test this OS
but the love of me i cant get it to stop rebooting
it comes up with a popup says HI m1, you have a file open what would you like to do.... bam reboot

im a moron i left the SRR connected to the motherboard so it kept restarting it because it wasnt getting the signal..

How can I change the hostname so all your scripts still work?

m2-desktop, etc...?

You can change the hostname of the computer that TeamViewer uses without changing the hostname itself
When you sign in with your account it gives an option to add this computer that's when you change the hostname

Good Morning FullZero -
I apoligize for the long post but I need to get it all in here :)

My first working mining rxOC AMD rig is up and running.

I want to ask some questions about clock settings.

Question is easy. How do I tune Linux version to get speeds near Windows?

As a base line I am dual mining Claymore ETH/SIA at -dcri 12

My cards are as follows -

GPU #0: Hawaii, 7991 MB available, 40 compute units (R9 390)
GPU #1: Ellesmere, 4050 MB available, 36 compute units (RX 570)
GPU #2: Ellesmere, 4050 MB available, 32 compute units (RX 470)

The 2 RX's have been bios modded and under windows 10 they run app. like this -

ETH: GPU0 29.897 Mh/s, GPU1 27.030 Mh/s, GPU2 27.096 Mh/s

I get those speeds by using Trixx and setting the following -

GPU #0: Hawaii, 7991 MB available, 40 compute units (R9 390) - 1100/1500
GPU #1: Ellesmere, 4050 MB available, 36 compute units (RX 570) - 1140/1900
GPU #2: Ellesmere, 4050 MB available, 32 compute units (RX 470) - 1140/1880

OK thats my stuff and how it runs on Windows...Now lets talk Linux

*****************************************************************************************

As a base line for the rest of this talk.
Using rxOC V12 with Parallax's mod
Dual mining ETH/SIA Claymore 9.5 -dcri 12
ETH_EXTENTION_ARGUMENTS="-dcri 12"
Same cards as above -

MY CURRENT SPEED WITH THE FOLLOWING SETTINGS -

ETH: GPU0 24.910 Mh/s, GPU1 24.086 Mh/s, GPU2 25.116 Mh/s

My oneBASH is currently set as follows -

PERFORMANCE_LEVEL="HIGH" # HIGH LOW

# select level: to see supported clocks scroll to the top of the mining process
__CORE_OVERCLOCK_LEVEL=4 # for ETH use lowest without decreasing the hashrate / Highest for ZEC
MEMORY_OVERCLOCK_LEVEL=7 # use highest level

that's the question that may kill gpu mining. the point of gpus mining was to be able to decentralize mining, actually btc mining is more accessible than gpus mining. There is a solution to easy oc with ubuntu as ethos and this have the functionality. however it's not released publicly. Asics or PoS.

Why not modify oneBash to be like the one for Linux?

Have individual card settings?

I don't anybody that mines with AMD that hasn't modified the straps in the bios and then uses some OC tool to set the clocks.

So instead of

# select level: to see supported clocks scroll to the top of the mining process
__CORE_OVERCLOCK_LEVEL=7 # for ETH use lowest without decreasing the hashrate / Highest for ZEC
MEMORY_OVERCLOCK_LEVEL=2 # use highest level

How about -

INDIVIDUAL_CLOCKS="YES" # YES NO

# Set individual clocks here if INDIVIDUAL_CLOCKS="YES"
__CORE_OVERCLOCK_0=100
MEMORY_OVERCLOCK_0=1000

__CORE_OVERCLOCK_1=100
MEMORY_OVERCLOCK_1=350

__CORE_OVERCLOCK_2=100
MEMORY_OVERCLOCK_2=100

__CORE_OVERCLOCK_3=100
MEMORY_OVERCLOCK_3=100

__CORE_OVERCLOCK_4=100
MEMORY_OVERCLOCK_4=100

__CORE_OVERCLOCK_5=100
MEMORY_OVERCLOCK_5=100

__CORE_OVERCLOCK_6=100

__CORE_OVERCLOCK_7=100

i have both of these and tested them and IN MY ENVIRONMENT it hasnt been the best choice

so i use this drive and its awesome! it loads faster for me and is stable

https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Cruzer-Low-Profile-Drive-SDCZ33-016G-B35/dp/B005FYNSZA/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1499032154&sr=8-6&keywords=sandisk+usb+flash+drive (https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Cruzer-Low-Profile-Drive-SDCZ33-016G-B35/dp/B005FYNSZA/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1499032154&sr=8-6&keywords=sandisk+usb+flash+drive)

now imaging the drives i use etcher because its just simple and plain easy to use. plus it also does drive checks it can be found here

https://etcher.io/ (https://etcher.io/)

when setting up the onebash first thing is first i dont cpu mine. all of my miners have slow dual core intel cpus so its just meh to even try
with that i do use a SRR which if you dont have one you are not living right go here https://shop.simplemining.net/ (https://shop.simplemining.net/) and get one

if you dont have an SRR then you dont need this

now somewhere before plusCPU add this line

Code:

SRR="YES"

example http://imgur.com/JbQLcF4 (http://imgur.com/JbQLcF4)

then move down in the onebash file to right before plusCPU == YES add this right before it

Code:

if [ $SRR == "YES" ]
then
HCD='SRR'
guake -r $HCD -e "bash /media/m1/1263-A96E/SRR"
fi

example http://imgur.com/O6aQ7US (http://imgur.com/O6aQ7US)

before saving make sure you change your address and pools around!! then save the file

here is mine if it helps https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0614dRHRS0RNXU0STR0U1hWWlE/view?usp=sharing (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0614dRHRS0RNXU0STR0U1hWWlE/view?usp=sharing)

now before you pull out the usb you need to add in this file in the same section as onebash https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0614dRHRS0RLWgtOS1OSlV6dDA/view?usp=sharing (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0614dRHRS0RLWgtOS1OSlV6dDA/view?usp=sharing)
with this file you have to edit it just like the onebash file for it to be able to work with your SRR
edit these line

Code:

srrEnabled="1"
srrSerial="000055"
srrSlot="1"

make sure its a 1 to enable it. change the serial number to match up to the one you have and make sure the slot number is correct

example here http://imgur.com/uVjeV2a (http://imgur.com/uVjeV2a)

i use custom bios on all of my rx cards i copy straps and bump up the memory just a little get a solid 25 mhs all the time even when dual mining
also i use this https://github.com/sling00/amdmeminfo (https://github.com/sling00/amdmeminfo) to find out info about the cards i have and its easy to install

i use an overdrive setting of 10 tried 15 nothing changed and 18 crashed the system
so 10-15 did nothing for me and that was with a core lock level of 7 moved to 3 for now
the fan setting is at 230

Over the next few weeks ill keep testing the system with different settings to see if i can find a sweet spot
also ill keep the posted updated with anything new i find worth sharing

thanks fullzero for a nice mining experience with this OS

just some pictures of the rig and it mining

I have been updating the nvOC oneBash and I will add your implementation as well. I will add it to a new rxOC oneBash after I implement some of the requested changes.

I don't have an SRR; so I'm not sure;

In the SRR file there are some variables:

Code:

srrSerial="000055"
srrSlot="1"

do these need to be changed in your SRR bash when using different SRRs or slots?

i added this to the OP!

:) SUCCESS :)

I have successfully created another rig with 5 AMD cards and achieved the same speed as windows!

I modded all 5 cards bios's again and this time hard set my clocks and even went ahead and undervolted them slightly while I was in there.

Results? I am actually 5 MH/s average OVER my Win10 build.

Thank you FullZero for help and ideas...

First off, can't thank you enough for your contributions to the community. nvOC was a huge help for me to get my Nvidia cards up and running.

I am wondering why in this version you have set numbers for core and memory clocks? Also why there is no option to limit the power? Ive been trying to figure out a way to limit power for quite a while.

Also, there any way to find out what type of memory my gpu has within this os? I would rather not flash the cards but if thats the only way than I'll do it.

Post by: osnwt on July 05, 2017, 11:56:38 AM

After trying nvOC I decided to try rxOC. It works, but I have few questions.

My test rx470 rig has modified BIOS with low voltage levels (around 950mV for GPU, for instance). Under Windows I used WattTool to alter clocks and voltages as well. But if I didn't run WattTool, I had BIOS-defined low voltages and clocks.

Now under rxOC I set GPU clock to 6 (of 7 max). It runs but I have 200 more watts for 6 GPUs comparing to Windows system. Using rocm-smi, I realised that GPU still runs at level 7. After explicit command to set it to lower levels (say, 5 or 6), I can see it set for few seconds, and then it immediately reset to level 7. I read that change is active until another OpenCL program is started. So I tried to change it before Claymore's miner, and after it started - nothing helped.

In addition, since power usage is much more than under Windows, I guess that drivers ignore BIOS voltage levels and set them explicitly to some defaults (at least, I read about that on Windows some day).

So in short, all rx470 run and maximum clocks and use some high voltages and not those written in the BIOS.

Any suggestions? I wish I can have the same power and performance as on Windows system. Hash rate is a bit lower comparing to Windows one (around 0.5-0.7 MH/s per card), and it might be the difference between Linux and Windows miner timers (it always was for fglrx as well). But what about voltages? Please advise!

I use amdmeminfo alot during my initial farm setup -- saves me a lot of trouble going back and forth Windows and GPUZ.

I can identify GPU details, memory, etc and flash them all in Linux (Polaris-BIOS editing in Windows though)

The utility also list each card according to slot ID so its cool.

You've missed the point. I have modified BIOS using PBE, but it seems that drivers ignore flashed settings and use some driver defaults for voltages.

I guess I do something wrong. Anybody who is running rx470 under linux with low voltages, can you show your PBE values and corresponding rxOC settings (powerplay, etc)?

Didn't you think about putting oneBash to GitHub? Makes it much easier for custom modifications.

For instance, I would group similar options for cards (mostly for nvOC version) into loops using bash (you can pull changes if like it). Another option for me may be to split oneBash into few option files like 10-power.sh, 20-miners.sh, etc... Next step would be to add a kind of rig autodetect (say, using NIC MAC) and load rig-dependant options automatically, still having single settings repository.

Will do it for myself, but integration of user changes will be much easier using git.

Maybe this will work:

Ensure the monitor is connected to the primary GPU ( the one in the 16x slot closest to the CPU )

Disconnect the USB or SSD/HHD from the rig.

Fully power off everything: including the PSU.

Press the power button several times to clear any remaining power in the mobo.

Turn the PSU powerswitch back to | "on".

power on (without the USB attached)

See if the bios posts; if you get nothing in 20 seconds; press ctrl + alt + del repeatedly until the system reboots.

Wait and see if the bios posts.

If the bios posts attach the USB key to a USB 2.0 port and press ctrl + alt + delete.

if it boots; stop the mining process before it starts mining:

then go to the top left and click the ubuntu button

type u

and click on software updater

run updates

reboot

Let me know if this works.

I tried with a new motherboard MSI Z270 Gaming Plus with only one GPU directly connected to it, and a new PSU.
Same Result.
I have extra pendrives but I am not able to copy the image there because they are 15.5 Gb and I it needs 15.6.

If there is enough interest I can make an R series build of rxOC; but I am trying to focus first on helping users resolve problems, then with implementing the most requested improvements first.

I will add an R series build to the request list for rxOC.

If you want to do a build using the AMD 15.12 drivers (which are the best for the R-series cards but don't support the Fury or anything later), you will have to move to Ubuntu 14.04 (or earlier but I don't recommend earlier) for the base build - and even THERE you can't "upgrade" everything as the newer XOrg version that "apt-update" inflicts on 14.04 DOES NOT WORK WITH THE fglrx DRIVERS.

AMD got particularly stupid when they decided to ignore older cards in their LINUX "pro" driver series, though they've had a long history of not supporting LINUX all that well.
A lot of folks count 15.12 as an amazingly good but one-time exception.

to:

Do you have the same results?

So I believe I am having the same problem (except my cards are stock), my hash rate doesn't change no matter what settings I use, I even tried your suggestion here leaving overdrive and performance level blank and I was still getting the same hash...

Actually, I tried to remove all nvidia-smi commands at all and reboot. Still higher power consumption with modded BIOS comparing to Windows.
That is why I asked anyone who was able to run rx470 undervolted on Linux: please post your PBE screenshots and linux settings.

If the bios posts; you can access the grub loader menu by pressing

esc

continuously while booting (note holding it down doesn't usually work), then select boot in recovery mode.

in recovery mode:

Enable networking

then install updates from the cmd prompt:

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade --yes

and reboot

this should ensure your build has all known system files for your system.

I think I've found the problem, it is not solved by updating:
I installed xubuntu in a new pendrive. And did a apt dist-upgrade, after that, I rebooted and installed lastest amdgpu-pro drivers, and then it happended exactly the same.
I am able to press ctrl+f1 and work via command prompt, but it is not solved by updating.
I am still trying to connect the pendrive to the 2.0 USB port, but it is not recognized. Why do you suggest to do it like this?

Thanks for your help!

I am ok to use Polaris BIOS Editor, or do manual hex patching. No matter what I was not able to fix the issue with high power consumption under linux with rx470 and asked for anyone who WAS able to do that to share how.

@Fullzero

Version 0013

Can you make a global switch to turn off all overclocking?

OVERCLOCK="OFF"

This will allow a single onebash to work on rigs that have all cards fully modded and have mixed R9 with RX.

Currently I just did this.... Get some errors but it works...

# select level: to see supported clocks scroll to the top of the mining process
# __CORE_OVERCLOCK_LEVEL=7 # for ETH use lowest without decreasing the hashrate / Highest for ZEC
# MEMORY_OVERCLOCK_LEVEL=1 # use highest level

Unless I am missing something if the cards are modded with timings, undervolted and clock speeds then rocm-smi is unnecessary. (right???) (except maybe for fans)

Just an idea for more flexibility....

So I have been watching all the cool stuff going into the Nvidia build and wondering why the AMD build is getting no love when it occurred to me....Why not make ONE build for both?
Wouldn't it work to just have AMD AND Nvidia drivers in one build?

I am currently building a new mixed rig with 4 AMD and 1 Nvidia and plan on using rxOC build 12 and adding the NV drivers manually and then just run a second screen.
Thats sort of where this idea of a single build came into play..

Some sort of switch like IF GPU=NVIDIA THEN (DO SOMETHING HERE LIKE USE NVIDIA DRIVERS) ELSE (USE AMD STUFF HERE)

Just thinking out loud...

Mixing AMD and NVidia in LINUX is at best a royal PITA, and often just flat out doesn't work.

I spent about 3 WEEKS trying different things to get the AMD 15.12 drivers and a reasonably current NVidia driver working on one of my A10-7860K based rigs, never did get it all working so finally gave up on the idea.

That's WHY I'm currently working on shifting cards around as I can, to get them away from mixed-GPU so I can drop Windows in favor of much-more-reliable LINUX for my dedicated mining rigs - it USED to work, but doesn't seem to do so any more on recent driver versions.

gpu 1 is a sapphire 580 4gb nitro+
gpu 2 is a xfx 480 4gb (with the stupid white leds)

If I run both gpus with unchanged clocks on onebash, I get pcie bus errors and it fills up the USB. I know it's not the risers because I tested them individually (after receiving replacements from the seller) on both gpus using smOS and rxoc individually and got no pcie errors.

I'm mining ZEC and it doesn't matter if I use optiminer or claymore, eventually the system hangs due to some error. I checked the error logs and this is a snippet of what I find

from the xorg.0.log: [ 2402.679] (WW) AMDGPU(0): amdgpu_dri2_flip_event_handler: Pageflip completion event has impossible msc 143245 < target_msc 143246 (a crapload of these)

fullzero, thank you for your NvOc and RxOc. Can you please update the RxOc? I want to change SimpleMining to something better, flexible configuration, but RxOc is didn't updated so long time and I don't know if you stop working on this.

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade --yes

and reboot

this should ensure your build has all known system files for your system.

I tried again a MSI Z270 gamining PLUS, only one gpu connected to the monitor, disabled avobe 4g memory, and it worked.
If I enable 4g, the screen gets like this http://imgur.com/a/w8sSc . Dont even reach grub.
I tried in UEFI and Legacy, and PCI gen 1 and 2.

First I would try setting:

Code:

OVERDRIVE="NO"

and seeing if that is what is causing the problem.

Ensure your fan speed is set high enough to keep your GPUs cool:

I would try 200

Code:

FAN_SPEED=200

It also looks like there are some disk errors occurring: if disabling the overdrive and increasing the fan speed doesn't solve the problem: I would reimage the USB or use another USB.

Let me know how it goes.

Well, I just tried to run rxoc again, I turned off OVERDRIVE and increased fan speed to 200. I am still getting spammed with these errors in xorg log

(WW) AMDGPU(0): amdgpu_dri2_flip_event_handler: Pageflip completion event has impossible msc 143245 < target_msc 143246

and pci errors in syslog.log but I know for a fact that the risers are good. I think it might be the mobo, Guntis Vintolins posted a video on youtube and had problems running your OS on biostar tb250 (he has the 12 riser board) and went back to his previous OS. What else do you suggest I try?

Hey,

I tried to image rxOC on a 32 gb flash drive, I am using the link with multiple colors for v0012 - "rxOC_v0012 Google Drive Link use this image for all mobos"

is this the correct link to we download and then image onto our usb after we decompress it?

I imaged the usb and tried using it on one of my rigs but it's just a black screen for hours with some text in the top left corner.
/devsda2: recovering Journal
/dev/sda2: clean, 456748/958464 files, 2246366/3805440 blocks

I tried doing the cmd and typing what you said to put and I get "they system cannot find the file specified"

I tried this on my mac as well and the command does not work, so what am I doing incorrectly? Thank you!

Have you tried updating the bios on this motherboard?

Yes! I am currently using 7A75v12 (https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z270-GAMING-PLUS.html)
Does it have to be in a special latency value? It is set by default in 32b. Pcie gen 1 o 2? UEFI o Legacy?
I've tried many permutations, all the same problem.

I've been trying with 4 GPU.
With disabled above 4g memory, only 3 GPUS are detected in most cases (sometimes all of them are able to mine)

With the downloaded zip follow the process in this post to verify the downloaded zip file has no errors:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1984302.msg19861481#msg19861481 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1984302.msg19861481#msg19861481)

If you are having trouble verifying the sha256 hash; most likely you are not replacing:

Code:

PATH_TO_IMAGE_ZIP_HERE

with the path to your downloaded zip

you can find the path by:

Code:

dragging the zip to the terminal window to add the absolute path without typing it.

after you have confirmed the sha256 hash

Extract the img from the zip file (this will take several minutes)

Use the resulting image as the source when imaging to a USB key.

Your first imaging may have had an error; and reimaging is most likely the solution.

However it is always a good idea to verify a download ( when it is this large ).

Thank you for getting back to me. I started over from the beginning on my Mac. I downloaded it and dragged it onto my desktop. I could not confirm it in the terminal using SHA256

I don't have one of these mobos; not sure what bios setting are needed.

Does anyone have one of these mobos and know good bios settings?

Ok, I decided to try with 6 GPUs. The first attempts it got stucked at a black screen.
Then it started to show the debug console of linux and got stucked here: http://imgur.com/a/iDZ1a http://imgur.com/a/FSwHP (this is the final lines of the trace, the first sentence it showed said: "Invalid ROM content"
After that, the main gpu (the only connected on the pcie port closest to the micro) stop emiting image, and I was forced to connect the monitor to the other gpu in order to get image.
Then following attemps it went to the loading screen from ubuntu forever.
And then it started to work "fine" (only 4 gpus recognized)

The OS is only recognized in Legacy boot mode, if I switch to UEFI, it asks me for a booteable device.
I have two identical mobos (MSI Z270 gaming plus), both with the same problem: I cannot enable 4g memory. With your OS it shows the image I posted, and with other ones it only gets stucked in a black screen at logon.

I read a lot of posts in different forums from people with the same problem, and I tried everything and nothing worked. :(

This is exactly what I was looking for 8) I was done with the error 43 in Windows 10 with my RX570 cards.

An overclock option in MHz like said before in this topic would be very nice! That's actually the only thing that fails in Linux; an Afterburner alternative.

I tried to overclock with Polaris with the same numbers as I used in Windows and getting good hashrates while testing, but unfortunately it's not stable. I keep getting OpenCL errors in Claymore after a while. I got back to stock and will experiment later on. Maybe Claymore 9.7 will do this better?

Keep up the good work! When I got this AMD rig stable I will switch all of them to rxOC and nvOC.

I suggest bios modding your AMD cards if your mining on Linux. No real good tools for OC'ing and stuff.
You can set your default clock speeds in the bios and be done with it.
Alternatively you can mine with Claymore and set clock speeds in the command line. (if you dont mind paying the Claymore tax)

I did some quick tests with the numbers I know from Windows 10 that I used in MSI Afterburner. In Ubuntu I got at the beginning almost the same hashrates as in Windows, but unfortunately Claymore hangs after 5 minutes because of OpenCL errors. Next week I finally have some more free time and will experiment a bit more with the bios to get higher hashrates. I'm getting 23,4 Mh/s now and in Windows 10 I got about 28,5 Mh/s so that's a 30 Mh/s difference with a 6 card rig. But Windows is not an option anymore with my AMD cards, it was giving me a lot of headache ;)

My owner and I made OhGodATool for this - and it works well. Claymore's options for voltage, fanspeed, and clocks do nothing on *nix.

That sounds great for future implementation. You are right about Claymore, I tried -cclock and -mclock but it does nothing.

Oops sorry was thinking Windows when I wrote that. Claymore does't support clock speeds on Linux. Although I don't need these tools as I bios modded a million cards I will definitely check out OhGodATool for the future.

Guessing based on your errors:

clone or download:

Code:

https://github.com/akheron/jansson.git

and place the contents in the

Code:

'/home/m1/sgminer/submodules/jansson'

directory and try again

Figured it out. For anyone at home playing along here it is -

First blow away any sgminer folder you have

A: sudo rm -rf sgminer
B: Go get the new sgminer with skunk - sudo git clone https://github.com/tpruvot/sgminer.git
C: Jump in the sgminer folder - cd sgminer
D: sudo git submodule init
E: sudo git submodule update
F: sudo autoreconf -i
G: sudo CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure
H: sudo make

Now go set up 1bash for SIGT and go get some :)

If anyone is interested here is my MiningPoolHub setup for rxOC -
MPH auto adds your workers so you don't even have to go and set them up first...

# MPH (MININGPOOLHUB)

COIN="MPH"

MPH_WORKER="$IP_AS_WORKER"
MPH_ADDRESS="WhatEver"
MPH_POOL="us-east.ethash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:12020" (This is the auto-switching port)

if [ $COIN == "MPH" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/eth/Genoil/ethminer'
ADDR="$MPH_ADDRESS.$MPH_WORKER"
$HCD -S $MPH_POOL -O $ADDR:x -G

You can edit this last part if you want Claymore....

Hi.

Have two questions.

1. How I can boot without onebash? In pure linux.

2. Are any debugging mechanisms exist? After 1st boot have clean black screen - need to determine reason.

This is 1st time loading rxOC...

Hi,

Got the same problem here.

I'm using MSI Z270-A PRO, when I enable above 4g memory in BIOS, I get that broken screen as in the link posted by Zucca. All my GPUs are Saphire RX 580.

Interesting enough, I used the same board with nvOC and 6x1080ti and did not have the problem. I'm using the latest BIOS.

Also another problem only in rxOC is that the Ubuntu doesn't recognize the network adapter on the mainboard. Worked fine on nvOC, only broken on rx0C. Any ideas?

Hello,
The causes can be many, it is really hard to tell, I wasnt able solve the problem with this OS so I moved to Windows.
From the experience I have, a main diferrence between Windows and Linux is the driver, when linux amd driver cannot load a GPU, it fails and stops booting, Windows, in contrast, boots anyway and it hits you with a error message in the device manager o simply doesnt recognize the card.
I know that the main cause of blank screen when enabling 4G, is due to the amd driver not working properly.
What I think it could happened to me, some risers worked unstably and caused driver failures.
When you try to solve mining related issues, you have to make sure that the risers are working, otherwise you will get some errors that will be problematic to identify.
Probably nvidia drivers work different to amd.

Hi, fullzero.

First of all - thanks for your work.

You are using 17.10 AMD driver in your build. But latest AMD driver for RX series is 17.30. Does it make sense to use latest version of driver?

Thank you fullzero for your awesome work.
Having configured the BIOS according to the guide and added "pci=noaer" as well as "pcie_aspm=off" to the grub boot parameter, I can successfully boot the machine. Currently I face a few problem with my 12 R9 390X rig. First, it boots into low graphics mode, which isn't too bad as there is still a terminal for me to run oneBash. However oneBash always hangs here.
http://imgur.com/thIws8b
I tried running Genoil and Claymore in ~/eth/Genoil and ~/eth/9_5 respectively and both ran into the "GPU fault detected:147" just after a few seconds of mining.
http://imgur.com/E36sdze
Dividing the GPUs into separated Claymore sessions helps but I have never been successful in running all the 12 GPUs. While ubuntu recognises all 12 GPU judging from lspci output, if more than 8 GPU is mining the error "GPU fault detected:147" will appear.
Any hint on how to solve these problems?

Hardware: Biostar TB-250 Pro Ver.6, Intel Celeron G3930, 4GB Ram, 3x 1200W Server PSU, 12x R9 390X.

Hi fullzero and all.

Really...REALLY like the NvOC OS for my nVidia cards - using v17 without any hiccups for over a month now.

However, trying to spin up a 12-rig tb250-btc pro rig at the moment using rxOC v0012 and finding that I'm completely incapable of lowering the power consumption of the GPUs.

How can I verify that the MEMORY_OVERCLOCK_LEVEL and __CORE_OVERCLOCK_LEVEL parameters are actually doing what they're supposed to? The rocm-smi utility shows that the lower levels aren't being utilized properly...I'm either at the lowest level or highest, depending on the PERFORMANCE_LEVEL variable alone. So...sadly, it seems I can't get a middle ground.

No issues with these same cards (mix of RX580 Nitro+ and Pulse) within Windows.

Did some digging around with other mining OS and found that two of the big ones use wolfamdctrl to modify core-state and mem-state as well, but I haven't had any luck with that utility, either. The only values I seem to be able to change between rocm-smi and wolfamdctrl are the Fan speeds, memclock/core-clock, and overall Performance Level. Also, modifying the pp_tables directly by using 'echo manual > /sys/class/drm/card*/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level" and similar shows that nothing sticks.

All the work is being done under root - so I know it's not permission. It's almost as if something is overwriting every change I'm making, although nothing is jumping out at me...

Any ideas?

Here's an easy to see example of what I'm talking about:
^{root@bad:/home/m1# echo "manual" > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level
root@bad:/home/m1# more /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level
auto}

I still need to mess around with the direct amd api commands. In my experience so far; the current amd api is absolute rubbish for the exact reason you are describing above. AMD has announced they are making a new mining driver and api, hopefully it is as good as nvidia's. I will look into making the current amd api OC better (it has to be possible as it can be done by the windows OC applications) probably after I finish nvOC v0019 and translate as many of the v0019 features to rxOC as possible.

Thank you for the quick response and sanity-check.

I've had to abandon my late night trouble-shooting due to other affairs, but I'll be back to continue in a few weeks. In case you're curious, I left off attempting a clean Ubuntu desktop install (kernel 4.10.5) with AMDGPU-Pro 16.60 drivers. Also found it surprising that wolfamdctrl binary was so difficult to obtain - however, managed to pluck v1.2 from a "simple" OS as was trying that next as well...

Anyway - appreciate all your efforts into this distro. I'll certainly let you know if I come across anything substantial before you figure it out yourself.

Currently no; rxOC does not support individual OC: mostly because the AMD API is shite. I am now working on a new rxOC version.

Thanks for your reply.

Is the overclocking in the rxOC oneBash file a level i.e. 1-10 rather than MHz as in the nvOC?

Hello FullZero and all,
Thank you for this great rxOC v12, has been using it for two weeks with biostar tb250-btc pro 12pcie(but only 6 rx570 attached). Until today, I add another 6 rx570, it wont boot into my terminal, while I have enable 6+ gpu in bios, have set tolud to 3.5g, tried legacy/uefi combinations for storage and graphic in bios boot, still no luck today, the furthest I can go is until a message box pops telling me "the system is running in low graphics mode"(but I plug my hdmi into the same main gpu n monitor), if I click OK, it leads me to several options,
1, try running with default graphical mode
2, reconfigure graphics
3,trouble shoot the error
4, exit to console login
but I was unable to choose other options except the first one, which brings me back to "the system is running in low graphics mode".... if I move to console 2, I could login to cli, and able to start claymore manually with 12 gpus working.

I am lost now, switching back to 6gpu, and everything is working perfectly.

Somebody please enlighten me to let all 12gpus working.

Thank you in advance

I have had a similar experience using 6x proDuo (although this begins to happen when more than 3x proDuo are used) I will look into this more for v0013; for now what I am doing is starting the mining process via ssh on this rig, which is essentially the same as starting it manually from console mode, but easier as it doesn't require me to attach a monitor / keyboard / mouse to the rig.

I noted the ip for the rig, then on another computer; I use the terminal cmd:

Code:

ssh m1@the_rigs_ip_here

and press enter, then type yes (if it is the first time I am accessing the rig via ssh), then I enter miner1 as the password (unless you have changed it)

then I enter the cmd:

Code:

bash 2unix

this launches the OC, then mining process.

Thank you so much for your reply, will give it a try tomorrow.
Waiting for the better v013.

First all, Thank you very much for the awesome work you do!!

So,

Tried to put the DAG fix using the following:

#Install new ROCm Kernel:

wget -qO - http://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/debian/rocm.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c 'echo deb [arch=amd64] http://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/debian/ xenial main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rocm.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rocm

#edit grub
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
#2MB fragments for Ellesmere are enabled with a grub option:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="amdgpu.vm_fragment_size=9"

sudo update-grub
sudo reboot

The problem is the first GPU will now do about half speed while the other GPU's are running properly faster. Tried multiple times, different gpu's, etc, same results.

I know it's being updated in V13, anybody have a clue how to fix this first GPU problem in the meantime? I've just reverted back to untouched V12.

If anyone cares, my 580's run at about 25(no oc), with dag fix 27, but the first gpu will run at 14, would be nice to get them all to 27.

What happens if you run headless? Is the first GPU still nerfed?

I did the same to apply dagfix, with the same effect on the GPU0, tried to run it headless and yes, it is the same slow without monitor attached. By the way I had the same problem with nvOC headless P106 rigs, and it was easily solved by reconfiguring xorg with nvidia tool when no monitor attached. Maybe reconfiguration is the right way here too, but I don't know how to do it with RX cards.

I've decided to stop waiting for v0013 and just run with v0012 for now because all my 1000-series rigs are now stable (thanks, @fullzero and all the contributors!) and my six Radeon RX470s were sitting idle (boo! BOO!)

But I'm running into a snag. On First Boot with the v0012 build after imaging (with the same solution I successfully use for imaging nvOC), the rig falls into BusyBox, as shown in the top screen, here:

https://imgur.com/a/VzZjm

Second boot goes into Grub, which allows me to start Ubuntu, but goes into the second image in the image above, reporting some sort of corruption and need for fsck. :(

I've scratched and re-imaged the USB key (same model used with nvOC), I've removed all video cards but the one in the primary X16 slot, I've pre-edited the oneBash file and dropped it into various folders for First Boot, but no joy.

It's on an Asus Z170-AR mobo - which worked fine in Win 10 for mining 6 cards after BIOS update. I have Above 4G enabled.

Any suggestions or direction for troubleshooting? I'm happy to provide whatever info anyone needs to assist. (Warning: I am still getting my bearings in Ubuntuland.)

I'm currently set up with a single video card in the primary X16 slot, connected via USB riser. On First Boot, I briefly get the purple Ubunu desktop background before the screen goes black and it drops into BusyBox.

If necessary, I'll pull the mobo out so that I can do a first boot with a card directly in the slot - that's something I've found necessary for Windows builds, but which I have not found to be necessary for nvOS builds.

Thanks, in advance!

Update:

Figured out that I can run fsck manually with the following:

Code:

fsck /dev/sda2

Afterwards, CTRL-ALT-DEL gets Ubuntu to start, but no GUI... just a login.

Will continue trying to troubleshoot and look through the thread again to see how to start the GUI...

@shade123 - rxOC only has video drivers for AMD cards. @FullZero has a separate build/project called nvOC with NVIDIA drivers.

nvOC is actually much better developed:

You can try running nvOC and then adding AMD driver for your 380x... but the automated setting of power and OC is effective on NVidia, but not on AMD right now.

(Under Linux. Under Windows, AMD tweaking works better. It's a function of the drivers available, so no good solution for Linux, right now. I think that's part of why rxOC gets less attention - until drivers make tweaking more possible, there's not as much demand for rxOC.)

Not my area of skill, but I hope someone can answer you... I'm literally in the process of rebuilding my 6xAMD rig into Windows 10 right now, and will come back to rxOC in the future when it's ready. (All the rest of my rigs are NVidia and are on nvOC.)

To open the terminal window after nvOC boots you should press F12.

Try installing drivers for your 380x using this manual http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Install.aspx (http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Install.aspx)

Hello and thanks for this post.
I've build my rig with Asus Prime Z270-a mobo, 8GB RAM, Intel Celeron G3930 2.9GHz 2MB LGA 1151, 1200 PSU and 6 Radeon Saphire RX580 4 GB GPUs
In Windows 10 / 64bit it works only with 5 GPU, and the performance for two of them is lower - 4 are giving 30 MHs , 1 is giving 28MHs and 1 - 20MHs.
I've tried the mixing of 17.5.1 and 16.11.3 (as described in the post), but there was no effect. The computer boots, all 6 GPUs are recognized in Device manager, but once i start the miner (Claymore etherium v 10) i get blue screen and the PC crashes.
I've tried also to set it up on Ubuntu with the image provided here (rxOC_v0012). The miner starts with all 6 GPU with performance around 26 MHs for each one. In few minutes, one of the GPU is dropping on 0MHs and miner freezes with message (just rough recall) ... GPU 5 hangs in OpenCL, miner has to be restarted .... When itry to close the miner, entire system freezes and only option is power shut off ...
I'll appreciate any advice on this.
Thank you All

Yep. Before that the mobo was not recognizing all 6 GPUs. I'll try today to install the amdgpu-pro-17.40-483984.tar.xz driver, i'll write if this fix the problem
I was thinking if this is possible to be hardware issue, as no one had problem with working 6 GPUs in Linux ....

If that doesn't work, consider getting the exact error and popping into the nvOC thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1854250.0). That thread is more active and there are several knowledgeable people who help each other out, but they'll need detail.

This thread will be more active, I'm sure, after fullzero gets out the next update and rxOC becomes more useful for AMD miners.

anyone know if rxOC works with 12 of the same card?

Yes; absolutely. The drivers and many of the miners installed on rxOC are known to work with 12+ cards under Linux, provided you have a compatible motherboard.

I can't say that with certainty for EVERY miner included in this distro; there are many, and I haven't used them all.

Both rxOC and nvOC include miners which are well-known to drive more than 12 cards under Linux, given the appropriate motherboards.

Generally speaking, rxOC and nvOC are the same thing, except for the graphics drivers (rx is built for AMD drivers, and nv is built for NVidia drivers)... but the differences in graphics drivers, and therefore differences in how to address setting fans, power limits, and OC settings, drive a ton of changes in the bash files that control the systems. That's why two different versions are needed.

I have tested my stopgap version of rxOC on a lot of rigs now; with most GPU models it offers significant improvements when mining Ethash coins. I will clean it up a little; its still very beta, but works well for ETH, ZEC, ETC. I will try to upload it tomorrow before the end of the day.

Hooray! THANKS!

Perfect for me, that's all I mine with the AMD rig.

Just switched to stopgap and I can't get it to launch the mining software. It sets all the overclocking and echos the prompt to view using "screen -r miner", but when I open a quake terminal and input screen -r miner, that screen cannot be found. I tried a couple reinstalls, tried switching from claymore 10 to claymore 9.5 to Genoils. None worked.

Ideas?

Thank you for the fantastic work and support, FullZero and community.

Definitely no miners to be opened on other screens, then... I have my only AMD rig racked and headless right now, but when I have it out on the bench, I'll see if I can figure out how to help.

Is it throwing any errors? And did you make any mods to oneBash besides setting your coin/address/wallet? You're mining ETH, right? (I'm guessing from the Claymore versions you mention.)

Afterthought:

Set oneBash for Claymore, but turn on logging by doing it like this:

Code:

GENOILorCLAYMORE="CLAYMORE"  # choose GENOIL  or  CLAYMORE

ETH_WORKER="$IP_AS_WORKER"
ETH_ADDRESS="youraddress"
ETH_POOL="yourpool"
ETH_EXTENTION_ARGUMENTS=" -dbg 0"    # add any additional claymore arguments desired here

The -dbg 0 will tell Claymore's debugger to turn on some basic logging.

Reboot and let it fire up.

Then, go look in the folder:
/home/m1/eth/10_1/
for files named like this:

1509915035_log.txt

These log files will show you if Claymore is starting up properly, or crapping out, or what. If there are NO log files, then Claymore isn't trying to start at all, and the problem is somewhere else.

I've got a 6x MSI Armor RX580 with modded bios that I have running in windows at ~30mh/s each with some clock changes as Claymore arguments (-cclock....)

When I boot up rxOC I get only 27mh/s for each, I thought maybe it was the onebash not accepting my overclock options so I tried to run my own bash in the claymore folder with the arguments and it still only ran at 27mh/s.

Is there a setting I missed?

I commented-out the CORE_OVERCLOCK and MEMORY_OVERCLOCK because I assumed I would be clocking them in Claymore.

Thanks

I am thinking about building an AMD rig. I already have a couple nvOC rigs. However I am still a newb and keep reading about this bios flashing stuff. Do I really need to flash my GPU bios in order to get decent hash rates with sapphire rx580 8g's? Or can I just use the OC settings within rxOC?

If someone can explain my necessity to mod the bios or tell me I don't need to that would be amazing.

I am thinking that if I need to mod the bios I might just build another nvOC rig.

Hi,
I finally got my rig working and am using this cool tool.
I do have one issue though. Under windows I can get 31.8MH/s at 102W, but under Linux I can only get 27.6MH/s and am using ~40W more power.
The BIOS has been modded and the voltages have been set to 950mV.
The cards that I am using are the Sapphire Nitro+ 8GB rx580 special edition (blue case, has both Samsung and Hylinx memory).

There are several users here, where some have reported better values than under windows.
Would you be able to share your bios files, so that i can see where I messed up?
I really do not want to mine under windows.

Thanks
Martin

Get one copy working.

Use "dd" to copy that DRIVE to another drive of the same or larger size.

If you use the same MB and GPU setup (CPU and RAM can vary), you now have a working clone of the first system.

In some cases, you can even use a DIFFERENT motherboard, but might have to go in and edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to match up to the correct PCI bus identifiers.

Nope, the interface is completely different IF it exists at all under AMDGPU-PRO - that's a question I've been trying to find an answer to for many months (and most recently did ANOTHER round of web searching yesterday) and have yet to find an answer.

AMD is WAY overdue to release a replacement for aticonfig from the fglrx days, though I'd REALLY prefer for MSI to release a LINUX version of Afterburner.

I am TRYING to use it. It only hangs if i use the on board video. If I unplug the on board video it works for a few hours before it just stops mining. Not sure why. Im going to turn off overclocking, if i can figure out the settings (I believe its different then in my NVOC rig). Then I will re image the usb drive and let it re-run the config the first time. After that Im not sure what to do. Maybe playing with settings in the bios, as the B250 Mining expert mobo is not mentioned in the list of mobos and custome bios settings.

I don't have much experience with rxOC, but your problem usually comes from a broken display driver.
Try to run this command from ssh or terminal (Ctrl - Alt - f1) then reboot

Code:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Hope it helps

I tried using this. Im not sure if I downloaded an old version or what. Rx580 4GB was hashing at 14MH/s so I tried upgrading the drivers. The OS using a custom 4.11 kernel which the blockchain drivers don't support to top it off damn difficult to upgrade Xserver to 1.19 Hwe stack! Spent so long trying to configure it that I gave up. The setup is quite bad sets your fan to 100% as well and ubuntu support sucks for the amd card. Spent two hard nights trying to get it working and no luck. Stick with windows 10, unlicensed it's free anyway. You can install gpu-z to check memory is Hynix or Elpida which doesn't seem possible in ubuntu. Save you all the hassle from installing windows 10 to initial stock 2xMH/s hashrate to flashing bios, 30.x MH/s in three hours!

It's not that Ubuntu has poor AMD support - it's that AMD has poor LINUX support since the move to AMDGPU-PRO when it comes to those of us doing compute-type work.

Is it possible to reduce the size of the image? I have 3 different types of 16GB USBs (a lot of them) and they are all smaller than 15.6GB :(

There are 1.8GB free space at the end. So I guess you just can put the image to the smaller stick. Image itself only needs 13G.

As I recall, AMDGPU-PRO drivers don't support anything older than the Polaris (RX-series) cards.

One of my MANY ISSUES with AMD the last couple years has been their FUBAR older-card support on their more recent drivers - especially for stuff like the A10 iGPUs that even under WINDOWS have very iffy support since 15.12 despite still being current production at the time.

LINUX has been MUCH worse - one of the reasons I've moved AWAY from Team Red since 2015 has been the total GARBAGE that AMDGPU-PRO has turned out to be.

The older fglrx drivers can't be used on Ubuntu past 14.04 due to changes in the kernel that the drivers don't work with - and even 14.04 was a nightmare after Canonical "updated the kernel" to a version that did NOT support them (this can be reverted via apt, but it's a PITA and Canonical caught a LOT of flack for changing the kernal version and BREAKING a lot of stuff without changing the RELEASE version).

I just had a thought.

I normally have my monitor plugged into the build in video card on the motherboard. For this I have tried it plugged into the video card, and into the motherboard. However I wonder if there are any settings I need specifically in my bios?

On the front page, it just says

Quote

If you are using an MSI Z270-A PRO; ensure you enable Above 4G memory option in the bios before connecting the nvOC USB.

But I wonder if the onboard video should be disabled or something...???

I will try playing around with it more tomorrow.

I spend roughly 2 days now trying to get 8x rx580 running with rxoc. I have another rig with 8x 1060 and nvoc running. Hardware i use:

Asus prime z270a
Hp dps1200 with breakout board
160w pico psu
8gb ddr4 ram hynix
Celeron 3900

When i use 1-2 cards in the main 16x pcie slots they boot fine. But a 3rd sometimes doesnt come up (using the 3rd big pcie slot) and on 4th card sometimes screen freezes up on boot or i get strange pcie error output in terminal (using the 1x speed slot on the top / nearest to cpu)

Bios settings i did the same as the other rig i am using sith same asus board. On this video you can see wich settings: https://www.google.de/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=%23&ved=0ahUKEwi6oY6Er9XYAhVOZVAKHadWCukQwqsBCB8wAA&usg=AOvVaw0VTJzWxrN8ZFOD4xbU2nov

Double checked the settings. I switched mainboard, psu, riser, usb cables, cards, hdd. I tried every card on its own as single card setup, they all boot up fine.

With one power cable 6pin pcie i power riser 6pin pcie and psu 8pin pcie by y-cable. I get power for the ssd from the pico psu wich gets power from an own pcie port of the dps1200.

The cards have a bios switch. I tried both modes without success.

I really hope someone has an idea because i am lost.

If this is the first time you have tried using the rxOC image on a newly built drive then I expect you may have not edited the oneBash file before booting the system.
I had this same issue the first time I used it.
There are some default settings in there for mining address and such that won't allow the system to boot all the way so it needs to be cleaned up.
If you had it running before then I'm sorry I have no helpful ideas.

Since fullzero has stopped the support help for rxOC (and nvOC as well) I don't think any of the other code writers have picked up for AMD.
nvOC is still getting quite a bit of activity and great support on that blog so I've decided to rid myself eventually of my AMD setup unless I find a substitute.
I have mostly Nvidia cards anyway.

1. I am still getting low graphics mode when using more than 6 cards. I can start mining with SSH and bash 2unix but unfortunately mining doesn't autostart anymore after reboot. anyone has a tip on how to fix low graphics mode, or disabling GUI or other way to autostart mining?

2. somehow rigs dont do sudo shutdown or sudo reboot. they loose SSH connection but nothing happens. need to power off.

3. will it be very hard to implement telegram, auto temp, wtm profit switcher from nvoc? I am looking forward very hard to build an image and if working, I am willing to distribute.

It's not rxOC (I haven't figured out how to get it working on a USB flash drive yet) but I've got a working XUbuntu 16.04 setup running with AMDGPU drivers.
It does some undervolt and substantial underclock with Polaris cards, but the R9 290 cards I've tried on it have no clock control at all (limitation of the bloody AMDGPU driver stack) and I'm not sure of the BIOS mods on those cards (TheStilt) is letting them undervolt.
I've not tested it on Vega as my only Vega card is in my gaming machine.

It does NOT allow use of an AMD iGPU as video output (MORE AMDGPU limitations, over 2 YEARS since AMD has supported any APU at all under LINUX) but the ROCm stack for OpenCL support DOES work on the iGPU of an A10 (for what that's worth).
It DOES allow fan control on everything I've thrown at it.
It's also not a fancy "one place setup" sort of thing, more of a "minimal install standard XUbuntu" type setup.

The main issue is that the AMDGPU driver stack is still a very poorly done and VERY incomplete "work in progress", to the point I actually recommend using Windows 7 instead of LINUX on Polaris cards BECAUSE of the junk drivers for LINUX.

Hello All,

First off, big huge thanks to fullzero for creating this great mining OS. Check out my recent gist post on how to incorporate EthControl mining control software from EthMonitoring website into rxOC stopgap version below. EthContol is a mining control/monitoring software. EhtControl downloads crypto mining software to your rig based on what configuration you have setup in the EthMonitoring website. You can also use the same steps taken to setup EthControl to incorporate other miners into rxoC oneBash script. I am going to work on incorporating xmr-stak next.

Software development is not in my wheelhouse, so please excuse any missteps I have taken. Maybe we can create a fork of current development , and have the community test and provide vetted commits. I see in the first post that software upgrades have been disabled. I have not gotten a chance to dig in yet, but how can we enable updates to get us to at Ubuntu Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS. If anyone is interested in helping please hit me up on DM or Discord chat.

Incorporate EthControl

You HAVE to move to the AMDGPU drivers to use Ubuntu 16.04 or later, as the older fglrx drivers flat out are not supported - they actually got "unsupported" in 14.04.04 but you can "roll back" the XServer in THAT version to make them work again.
You also have to install the ROCm stack for OpenCL support, but oddly enough that seems to work on ANYTHING out of AMD that is GCN based - even the GCN-based APUs that the AMDGPU drivers themselves do NOT support like my A10-7890k and A10-7860 models.
The ROCm stack appears to offer ZERO support for pre-GCN cards at all, so forget about HD 6xxx and older or the early low-7xxx series cards (anything lower than the HD 7750) or the iGPU in AMD APUs that were pre-GCN like the A10-5700.

I'm actually not certain about the status on 14.10 15.04 or 15.10 but as those releases are no longer supported at all by Canonical there's no point in even looking at them.

Hi guys, we have new AMD drivers, new Claymore version, new Ubuntu 18.04 coming...any hope of somebody to make a new versione of rxOS?

...undervolt is very interesting, since I tried with mod. bios in polaris but it seems with nosuccess...and what kind of performance are you getting compared to rxOC? Can you share a link to it? TIA

I've never used rxOC so I can't compare to it.
I don't have a link to my "work in progress" at this point, possibly soon.

Optimally the next AMDGPU release will make it obsolete, as AMD has CLAIMED they're going to "add undervolt support" to it.

rxOC is running 16.04.3, it is using amdgpu driver, and I do see shell scripts related to ROCm. We gotta make the move to AMDGPU-Pro Beta Mining Driver version, upgrade all miners installed, update oneBash script to include variables for new mners.

The AMD beta mining version has LESS support for older cards (not a big deal if you don't mix them with new stuff) than the current 17.50 release, and doesn't support underclock or undervolt at ALL as far as I can tell.
It also has widely reported issues with "doesn't work with VEGA", though there appear to be possible work arounds for those issues in some cases.

How to add support for Claymore's ETH miner ver. 11.6 ?

I would to add latest claymores ETH miner in into current version rxOC : v_stopgap

Two options - replace existing claymore miner with new miner or follow my gist above and replace ethcontrol with whatever miner you want.

Download & install miner software
Add variables & miner run statement to onebash file

rxOC comes with block chain drivers(missed that in first post of this thread) version 17.10-429170. Not sure there is much hope for older card, I believe on my regular non rxOC install AMDGPU-Pro worked with my older 7850 and R9-270X cards. Looks like folks have had success getting VEGA working by installing latest kernels. As you know, the state of AMD drivers in Linux is not good.

Title: WTM Auto Switch for rxOC
Post by: papampi on April 30, 2018, 12:46:29 PM

As requested by fk1 and some other rxOC users, I made a simple wtm auto switch for rxOC

Here (https://github.com/papampi/WhatToMine_Auto_Switch/tree/rxOC)is the wtm auto switch for rxoc
I dont have rxOC so I can not test, hope it works

Please check and let me know how it goes.

Hi papampi,

I just had a try: it seems like there is no wtm_auto_switch running in the background after fireing up oneBash. with ps -ef | grep wtm I can't find any running process. Here is what the output of console is after I fire 'bash oneBash':

Code:

edit: I tried to manually launch 'bash wtm_auto_switch' manually. This seems to work without all those errors in the beginning, however, now I think the problem with this old oneBash starts to come up just like I had on several trys before:

Code:


LAUNCHING:  WTM AUTO SWITCH


workername: _38

rig IP: 192.168.178.38
.............

For my example I start mining zclassic and should switch to ETH. When I start wtm_auto_switch, the mining process also starts in the same screen. After I cancel it:

Code:

My guess is that once someone decided to split the oneBash code into 0mining and 3main for a reason. After a while I can see this:

Sorry for late reply

I will try to find the problem on oneBash, in the mean time install python request with:

Code:

sudo apt install python-pip
sudo pip install requests

This should solve the WTM python problem

Edit:
What happens when you run this command:

Code:

guake -n /home/m1/wtm_auto_switch -r WTM_AUTO_SWITCH -e "bash /home/m1/wtm_auto_switch"

Edit 2:
Does rxOC has screen installed?
We can try to run wtm in screen mode

Change oneBash wtm start command from guake to screen and see how it goes:

Code:

screen  -dmS wtm  bash /home/m1/wtm_auto_switch

If screen is not installed in rxOC bt default install with :

Code:

sudo apt install screen

After restart oneBash, run

Code:

screen -r wtm

This shows wtm switcher output, to get out of screen "ctrl a+d" (dont use ctrl+c)

I found these unary operator expected issues before. When I tried to split the oneBash into a new form of 0miner and 3main I also had these: Seems like somehow the format of oneBash is broken. The lines are blank but deleting them doesnt do anything.

Code:

sudo apt install pip
sudo pip install requests

This should solve the WTM python problem

couldn't install pip: E: Unable to locate package pip
googled and installed python-pip, that was 8.x I upgraded to v10 and seemed to successfully install requests

Sorry, my mistake, it should have been python-pip

Made some changes to WTM_SWITCHER, try the new one from GitHub: WTM_SWITCHER (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/papampi/WhatToMine_Auto_Switch/rxOC/WTM_SWITCHER)
Then check if this gives any errors:

Code:

python2.7 /home/m1/WTM_SWITCHER /home/m1/WTM.json

Code:

m1@m1-desktop:~$ python2.7 /home/m1/WTM_SWITCHER /home/m1/WTM.json
9169.22
BTC PRICE: 9169.22 USD
ETH 13.50 USD
ZCL 7.58 USD
New profits
ETH: 100 %
ZCL: 56 %
m1@m1-desktop:~$

e: we have some part success: I tried the process again with running 'bash oneBash' in a 'main' screen configured ZCL as coin.
unfortunately the mining process still suffers but the wtm screen is running and after a while it recognized eth is the new coin to go and it switched the mining to eth/claymore inside the 'wtm' screen.
I will try to figure out now why zcl doesn't start. tyvm papampi

e2: ok, I googled this unary expression thing again and found https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13617843/unary-operator-expected

I changed the first lines that had this error for testing in oneBash:

Code:

if [ $COIN == "NICE" ]
then

if [ $GENOILorCLAYMORE == "GENOIL" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/eth/Genoil/ethminer'

to the following (There is no reason I did the first two: I started out and on 2nd extra quotation I realised I should have a try first so the first one might have been enough)

Code:

if [ "$COIN" == "NICE" ]
then

if [ "$GENOILorCLAYMORE" == "GENOIL" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/eth/Genoil/ethminer'

ZCL works again. However, because of these early stages of rxOC there was no screen session implemented for ZCL, only claymore I guess. therefore, a second mining instance starts parallel in wtm screen. I guess I need to add this in oneBash.

e3: hmm yeah, now I get double screen -r miner :D What to do? - ~~answer: 'bash wtm_auto_switch' @ screen 'main'~~ <- This does also open two miner screens/processes when starting out with ETH it just does one, but there is also a message saying "now mining in screen -r miner" not sure if this message holds further bash lines from executing. I added screen -dmS miner to ZCL oneBash like this:

Code:

if [ $OPTIMINERorCLAYMORE == "CLAYMORE" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/zec/c12_5/zecminer64'

ZECADDR="$ZEC_ADDRESS.$ZEC_WORKER"
screen -dmS miner $HCD -zpool $ZEC_POOL -zwal $ZECADDR -zpsw x -dbg -1 -i $ZEC_INTENSITY $ZEC_EXTENTION_ARGUMENTS

perhaps i am just an idiot and even the simplified version isnt simplified enough for my newbieness but i have having issues. i am trying to solo mine ETH with this and am having incredible difficulties getting the prompt for mining to display (the one that shows speeds and how many shares you have successfully mined). I modified the onebash file such that it is set for ETH mining and i inputed my wallet address, still nothing. so i modified the pool so that it goes through nanopool, still says no pools. inputed like this "eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999" I am really new to linux and really have no idea whats going on. honestly, i dont know which way is up. please help.

my rig is an MSI z97 gaming 5 motherboard with a core I5 4440 8gb of ddr3 and 6 rx 580's.

I had it working on windows until this recent update and now everything is slow and fucked up. as far as i can tell, the flash was sucessful and everything is here.

if you plugged in a screen to your rig and start the rig, when you are at the desktop, try to open a new terminal and type in: "screen -r miner"

Bumping this thread.

Link to drive is dead, no link to download OS. Ended up getting it off some other mining site but doesn't seem to work. I boot to Ubuntu just fine, bash starts up, goes to "miner in screen -r" but when I type that in, no miner is seen.

cards recognized, basically seems to get stuck after fan speed is defined.

I posted a basic oneBash that can be used to replace the one from the stopgap img on GitHub: https://github.com/hartmanm/rxOC/blob/master/oneBash (https://github.com/hartmanm/rxOC/blob/master/oneBash)

It should work and can be changed to support any client or pool.

I no longer have any AMD GPUs and will not update rxOC anymore; it is End of Life.

I managed to get it running yesterday by editing the bash file and running claymore 11.9. I was unable to manually overclock the cards so hash was lower than on hive...And today it just refused to boot up after updating drivers to blockchain ones. Re-imaging drive now.

Why ditch AMD? Seems like decent bang for buck ATM...

If you are not using claymore 11.9 version can be sourced.
try and upgrade to claymore version 11.9

I don't know why but the video card is not enough.
Does your cards burn?

07: 00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD / ATI] Tahiti XT [Radeon HD 7970/8970 OEM / R9 280X]
08: 00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD / ATI] Tahiti XT [Radeon HD 7970/8970 OEM / R9 280X]

there is such a sign.

does claymore recognize cards as ellesmere

your video cards may be the problem or the video card driver may not recognize.
my 4gb rx470s avaible memory 3975mb looks like yours 2330mb this is not normal.
2330mb not enough for dag file.
so claymore doesn't work.

TORRENT AVAILABLE FOR rxOC--

If anyone wishes to download the final release of rxOC (version StopGap), a torrent is available at my GitHub:

Address-- "GitHub.com/scryptr" .

This is in hope of keeping the software alive. Downloading the OS will require BitTorrent or a compatible file-sharing software. The torrent is downloadable with a web browser. The rxOC OS itself is too large of a file to post directly on GitHub as an archive.

In its current state, rxOC has outdated drivers and software. Feel free to modify it. And, the nvOC discord contains discussion channels for rxOC.
