Title: BFL Little Single - CGMiner Errors
Post by: Bitcoin_Silver_Supply on August 10, 2013, 06:56:19 PM
Hey folks,

My long-delayed BFL Little Single just arrived and I excitedly opened it up only to find a plethora of errors when trying to mine it with CGMiner. It currently recognizes the device as both "BFL0" and "BFL4" in error messages. Error messages range from "Comms error" to "Error: send work reports" to "Garbled response probably throttling, clearing buffer" and more. The temperature of the device is often listed at 28 degrees, but it is never shown mining (while my GPUs are)

I initially had an issue with driver recognition (Win7) which was ultimately solved by doing a windows search for drivers fix... Any fellow BFL "customers" (venture capital investors) have any tips?

Thanks.

A BFL little single is an asic device and you're describing cgminer trying to mine with the old BFL device for FPGA singles. It sounds like you have a very old version of cgminer. Try downloading the latest (3.3.2) and read carefully the ASIC-README file for how to set it up.

It took about 6 hours, but I figured it out. Thanks   :)
