Title: Need Help - USB Antminer U2 - Windows not installing driver. Post by: w00tcoin on April 10, 2014, 02:50:12 AM I have two USB Antminer U2 sticks.
I plug them in to my mother board USB slots. I have installed the proper driver. http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx Windows will not recognize the USB sticks. What am I doing wrong? Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit with 6-Core CPU and 8 GB RAM. I tried BFGMiner and CGMiner and looked in my Device Manager in windows and it sees there are two USB devices there but no drivers are installed. I try to manually install the silabs drivers and still no luck. Can someone help please? Title: Re: Need Help - USB Antminer U2 - Windows not installing driver.

Could my USB devices be bad? Title: Re: Need Help - USB Antminer U2 - Windows not installing driver. Post by: mikerbiker6 on April 10, 2014, 08:21:46 AM Aha, you may wanna try "zadig" to patch the drivers.
I used this tutorial for bitfury, but it also works with the new antminers. Also make sure to use a usb 2 port, not 3! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df9CjAlwYMc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df9CjAlwYMc) Title: Re: Need Help - USB Antminer U2 - Windows not installing driver.

Title: Re: Need Help - USB Antminer U2 - Windows not installing driver. Post by: w00tcoin on April 10, 2014, 08:38:20 AM I did the WinUSB from Zadig - I can see that it changed the driver but it's still not recognizing my devices :(

Title: Re: Need Help - USB Antminer U2 - Windows not installing driver. Post by: w00tcoin on April 10, 2014, 08:43:48 AM It starts up fine and all ... but it says "No USB devices detected"
Title: Re: Need Help - USB Antminer U2 - Windows not installing driver. Post by: mikerbiker6 on April 10, 2014, 08:45:24 AM Are you sure you are using a usb 2 port?
Title: Re: Need Help - USB Antminer U2 - Windows not installing driver. Post by: w00tcoin on April 10, 2014, 08:50:29 AM Yes 100% sure. Unless my entire mobo is USB 3.0 but only a couple of the slots are blue.
I tried these sticks on a different machine too. Title: Re: Need Help - USB Antminer U2 - Windows not installing driver. Post by: mikerbiker6 on April 10, 2014, 08:52:03 AM Hmm, that is odd. I am using these settings, maybe that is the issue?

This is driving me nuts. Title: Re: Need Help - USB Antminer U2 - Windows not installing driver. Post by: w00tcoin on April 10, 2014, 09:06:43 AM omfgggggggggggg I think I got it.
Title: Re: Need Help - USB Antminer U2 - Windows not installing driver. Post by: mikerbiker6 on April 10, 2014, 09:07:53 AM omfgggggggggggg I think I got it. what did you change?Title: Re: Need Help - USB Antminer U2 - Windows not installing driver. Post by: w00tcoin on April 10, 2014, 09:08:41 AM Nope, spoke too soon.
Son-of-a-bich this is pissing me off Title: Re: Need Help - USB Antminer U2 - Windows not installing driver. Post by: w00tcoin on April 10, 2014, 09:11:48 AM I am about to throw these things out the window.
Possible I got two bad ones in a row? Title: Re: Need Help - USB Antminer U2 - Windows not installing driver. Post by: mikerbiker6 on April 10, 2014, 09:21:28 AM It is theoretically possible, but very unlikely.
I have had about 50 working in a row, no DOA's. I don't know what's the problem. Title: Re: Need Help - USB Antminer U2 - Windows not installing driver. Post by: -ck on April 10, 2014, 09:26:18 AM Try one at a time without any overclock settings. Your USB might not be providing enough power. Also start cgminer with the extra options -D -T
Then you might get some useful debugging information. Title: Re: Need Help - USB Antminer U2 - Windows not installing driver. Post by: w00tcoin on April 10, 2014, 09:34:36 AM http://i58.tinypic.com/jsyuyv.png
It looks like CGMiner can see it. I just don't get what I am doing wrong ... ugh Title: Re: Need Help - USB Antminer U2 - Windows not installing driver. Post by: -ck on April 10, 2014, 09:35:52 AM Try with debugging enabled as I said, you may gleam something from it but expect a LOT of output.

It is doing a bunch of stuff I don't understand. These things suck ... I am sticking with S1 Title: Re: Need Help - USB Antminer U2 - Windows not installing driver. Post by: w00tcoin on April 10, 2014, 09:47:01 AM Well I dunno wtf but now they are working.
Title: Re: Need Help - USB Antminer U2 - Windows not installing driver. Post by: w00tcoin on April 10, 2014, 09:47:33 AM all I did was change the --anu-freq from 200 to 220 and now its working.
