Title: Building custom cgminer for OSX to support Antminer U1 USBs Post by: Reebzy on January 03, 2014, 08:43:07 PM Hi all - I need help building the custom cgminer to run the new Antminer U1 USB ASIC. I have attempted to pull from GitHub and build according to Unix instructions, but I'm getting a plethora of errors. Most notably, I can't even get ./autogen.sh finishing successfully. The most common error I receive is:
Code: checking dependency style of gcc... gcc3 Any help is appreciated. This is the link to the custom cgminer I'm trying to make -- https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1/tree/master/cgminer Title: Re: Building custom cgminer for OSX to support Antminer U1 USBs Post by: jdndndndx on January 03, 2014, 08:57:01 PM Does Antminer U1 USB not work with http://spaceman.ca/cgminer/ and http://www.asteroidapp.com/?
Just wondering why you are building a custom cgminer. Title: Re: Building custom cgminer for OSX to support Antminer U1 USBs Post by: Reebzy on January 03, 2014, 11:01:53 PM Correct, it does not work.
Only the custom cgminer provided by the AntGen team works with the device (so I'm lead to believe). Title: Re: Building custom cgminer for OSX to support Antminer U1 USBs Post by: colinfx on January 03, 2014, 11:39:10 PM I did get another cgminer working but it was only returning 0.5GMh/s instead of 1.6Gh/s per unit. I'm now overclocking them to 2.0Gh/s and so far without problems.
To get the full speed I had to compile and configure with "--enable-bmsc", this provided the full speed. I used the source as recommended from AntMiner. I had a few errors along the way, primarily all related to missing libraries so I would advise you explore that area. My installation was on to an old laptop running Ubuntu 12.x. Good luck! Cfx. Title: Re: Building custom cgminer for OSX to support Antminer U1 USBs Post by: Reebzy on January 04, 2014, 12:23:08 AM Thanks for the reply. I'll spin up a VM with VirtualBox and give Ubuntu a try in the short term.
Were there any specific missing libraries that I should prepare for?

I also purchased an Antminer and can't get it to full speed on OSX. Sadly, I don't know enough about coding to help you. Title: Re: Building custom cgminer for OSX to support Antminer U1 USBs Post by: Reebzy on January 07, 2014, 02:23:28 AM I was able to build a version of cgminer to get them working using Icarus drivers, but they do not run faster than 500MH/s. I'm waiting until they're officially supported, I suppose. I can't get anything else working.
Title: Re: Building custom cgminer for OSX to support Antminer U1 USBs Post by: ScorpioCoin on January 07, 2014, 06:26:59 AM They already work fine in asteroid at 500... Using boot camp at the moment to get most of it while I'm waiting for my raspberry pi as a solution.
Title: Re: Building custom cgminer for OSX to support Antminer U1 USBs Post by: chopsticks on January 08, 2014, 09:36:42 AM I got mine working at 1557 MH/s (1.56 GH/s essentially) by using BitMinter JAVA app on my MacBook PRO.
I had to download the drivers from http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx and reboot. Prior to that I was only getting 300-something MH/s via Asteroid. Have been happily hashing away for 24+ hours on BitMinter. I ignored the messages in the log. Saying something about nonce errors. Ignorance is bliss? Don't know what those errors were about but BitMinter is reporting a solid hash rate.

The nonce errors you are ignoring mean you are losing about 36% performance. Don't use AntMiners with BitMinter until it supports them.
