Title: CGminer v3.8.5 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on April 14, 2012, 09:14:41 PM I've created a little how-to for getting CGminer to run on a broadcom (mipsel processor) DD-WRT / OpenWRT enabled router.
The following file contains a readme, some scripts and the cgminer-3.8.5 binary compiled with BFL, Icarus, and ModMiner Quad FPGAs and BFL, bitfury, klondike, Hashfast, Icarus and Avalon ASICs for the mipsel architecture. This will work on Asus RT-N66U, Asus RT-N16 (which I use) and Linksys e3000, along with many other routers. https://www.dropbox.com/s/4oik0ecfezclq9u/cgminer_3.8.5_mipsel.ipk To install on Optware (OTRW / OTRW2): 1). Copy the file to your router USB drive, then navigate to that directory in telnet/ssh. 2). If cgminer is already running, issue: > service cgminer stop 3). Type: > ipkg install cgminer_x.x.x_mipsel.ipk If you already had it running, it'll ask about the overwriting the config file. Press enter to keep your one. 4). Type > service cgminer start https://i.imgur.com/08apVD1l.jpg (http://imgur.com/08apVD1) Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT Post by: P_Shep on April 15, 2012, 01:10:42 AM I'm thinking it could well handle the max possible 100.
CGminer hardly uses any processor time. Really tiny. Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT Post by: P_Shep on April 15, 2012, 05:13:18 PM Near as I can tell, over 8 hours of mining, 20 seconds worth of processor time has been used.
Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT Post by: nedbert9 on April 15, 2012, 05:39:32 PM Thanks for this, P_Shep. Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT Post by: Raize on April 15, 2012, 05:46:11 PM P_Shep, just a few spelling/grammar corrections for your README:
Quote Note: Installing CGminer on a router is a non-trivial task! Quote Some of the scripts may need tweaking to your specific system. Thanks for this! I'm going to try to get it running now! Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT Post by: rastapool on April 15, 2012, 05:48:10 PM wow, great work
Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT Post by: P_Shep on April 15, 2012, 05:57:09 PM P_Shep, just a few spelling/grammar corrections for your README: Quote Note: Installing CGminer on a router is a non-trivial task! Quote Some of the scripts may need tweaking to your specific system. Thanks for this! I'm going to try to get it running now! Thanks, spelling's not my strong suit :) Let me know what changes or additional steps need to be added. Cheers. Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT Post by: Beaflag VonRathburg on April 16, 2012, 04:38:30 AM This is very nice. I was planning on using one computer that I have laying around to run this, but I may end up canabalizing it for parts instead and getting a refurbished E3000 through newegg for relatively cheap.
4/17/2012 EDIT: I ordered a refurbished E3000 the yesterday for $54. It should be getting here in a couple days. I look forward to twiddling with it. Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT Post by: P_Shep on April 18, 2012, 03:31:12 AM There's a bug I'm not sure how to get around.
When the router starts the time is unset, then gets set by NTP after a short time. Problem is CGminer starts before it's set, so when the time then gets set, the utility and overall MH/s show incorrect results. Without waiting a minute or 2, I'm not sure what to do about this. Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT Post by: P_Shep on April 18, 2012, 03:36:43 AM Maybe I could start it, so it's mining, then re-start it 2 mins later when the time is set :)
*BIT* of a cludge though! Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT Post by: P_Shep on April 18, 2012, 04:24:12 PM Something odd is going on. DD-WRT has in-built NTP client, which is supposed to check the time on start up, then after 120 seconds.
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Network_Time_Protocol I wrote a script to force it to update, but I can't tell if it works, or does anything, as right now it seems to be behaving itself without the script. Hate intermittent problems. Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT Post by: Raize on April 20, 2012, 12:56:38 AM I seem to have a somewhat-related problem.
Through some trial-and-error I got opkg on, but I'm not sure if I have optware or not. I *do* seem to have opkg working correctly, but when I type "service serialmodules on" it can't find "service". Did I miss a step somewhere? I'm using an Atheros based device and not only that, but I'm using a TPLink TL-WR1043ND, so the installation process for opkg was a huge ordeal none of the DD-WRT guides worked, I had to come up with some of my own tweaks. Is there a way to confirm if I have optware or if opkg works does that already mean optware is on there? I have a feeling I'm missing something obvious. I know I could use xiangfu's custom .bin for Open-WRT, but I'd prefer to stick with DD-WRT since I'm more experienced with that. Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT Post by: P_Shep on April 20, 2012, 01:38:44 AM service is an executable, maybe there is a pkg with it you can install?
As far as I can tell though, it doesn't do much... 'Service XXX on' just make the XXX script executable, so it runs. You can probably just as easily get the scripts working manually. 'service' just makes things neater, such as prints the list of running services, does the chmods to enable/disable scripts etc. Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT Post by: P_Shep on May 03, 2012, 09:58:04 AM 4 units now happily working on this. Just plugged them in and reset.

https://github.com/downloads/pshep/cgminer/cgminer-2.4.1-mipsel.tar.gz No Ztex though, optware doesn't have libusb 1.0+ so can't compile cgminer with it enabled. Edit: I downloaded and compiled the latest libusb source... cross-compiled nice and easily, and cgminer compiled OK with that. No way to test it though. I can send what I have if anyone want to try it? Edit 2: CGminer compiled with ztex runs :) That's all I can say. Available here to try: https://github.com/downloads/pshep/cgminer/cgminer-2.4.1-mipsel-ztex.tar.gz Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: pazor on May 20, 2012, 06:29:37 PM my situation:
TP-Link MR3420 + ztex board single steps: 1. open-wrt installed 2. ztex board connected on mr3420 3. the cypress usb-serial of the ztex board not recognized from open-wrt (no driver available) no /dev/usb/tts found... any idea ? Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on May 20, 2012, 06:51:17 PM May need to load the kernel module for the serial driver, whatever that is for ztex.
So the first step is to get that working - make sure you can access or see the serial device in /devs (whatever the path may be). See in S45serialmodule where the modules are loaded. Then in cgminer.sh TTYNAME and TTYDIR select the path to the serial port. Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on May 20, 2012, 07:11:48 PM After a quick google, I'm not seeing any cypress drivers for openwrt... maybe it's a no-go???
Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: pazor on May 20, 2012, 07:26:09 PM right...
there is no Cypress (CY7C68013 EZ-USB FX2 USB 2.0 Development Kit) driver for ztex available. this is the reason and the end of my trying. thank you Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on May 21, 2012, 05:57:52 PM For ztex, look at this page:
http://wiki.ztex.de/doku.php?id=en:software:usb_ids I think it may be possible by setting up the ztex usb device vendor/product ID there as a character device / modprobe. Though I don't know how. Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: pazor on May 21, 2012, 06:04:15 PM thank you p_shep... i will try it

See 5 posts back :) Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: nelisky on May 24, 2012, 05:08:20 PM Hey,
I'm mining on the 3220 (but developed originally on the 3420) with openwrt with great success. I did, however, build the OS from scratch so I could have all dependencies built in. If you are using the plain vanilla openwrt you will need to install a few things, though I found I didn't have enough space for everything unless I either built one from scratch or used usb storage for the installed modules. I don't have a clear memory of what I needed but I'll be happy to share my kernel .config with you, send me your email on a PM. I can also send you the full firmware file, if you want. That one will most certainly run the cgminer binary compiled for that platform (which I can also share) but has a few odd customizations. You don't need any specific Cypress drivers, just the normal usb-ohci driver. Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: pazor on May 24, 2012, 06:22:03 PM yes please do it...
you can use my email adress in my profile do you have a combination of mr3420/mr3220 + ztex module (1.15x or 1.15y) with cgminer ? regards pazor Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: streblo on May 25, 2012, 11:46:20 PM I am going to try to install DD-WRT/OptWare/CGminer on a E3000 this weekend. How big of a USB key is necessary, I only have a 256MB and >8GB keys, which seem like under and overkill.
I'll definitely send a donation out if this works out! PS. Speaking of power, how important is it to power the USB hub? I know powered USB hubs are generally built better, but is powering necessary for 12(+4 hubs) devices? Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on May 25, 2012, 11:53:41 PM They recommend a partition of 512MB for Optware
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_-_Format_and_Partition_External_Storage_Device You can always make another partition for NAS :) and you absolutely need a powered hub. Each of those devices may only use a small amount of power, but if they are all getting that power through the router then you're going to stress the router. At least have the hub attached to the router powered. Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: nedbert9 on May 26, 2012, 12:54:32 AM Thanks for keeping this up to date. Will send some btc later. Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on May 30, 2012, 07:55:12 PM Updated version:
https://github.com/downloads/pshep/cgminer/cgminer-2.4.1-1-mipsel.tar.gz Still the same binary, but a few tweaks to the scripts and an all-new serial driver. I discovered there was a problem with the FTDI drivers. The existing one wasn't quite compatible with the FTDI chip used in the BFL (hence having to add product and vendor IDs when loading the driver). I found newer drivers which had the chip included (FT232H), but these drivers were for later versions of linux kernel than DD-WRT uses, so wouldn't compile. In the end I had to hack together a driver from the old one as a base and adding in the bits of code needed to get the new chip working. Seems to be working for me so far, but it is quite experimental (read: a hack) so be aware. The specific issue I found was that when more than 64 bytes were sent by the BFL, the 65th and 66th byte would be lost. This meant that when 6 or more valid nonces were returned by the BFL, the 6th would be corrupted, leading to the 7th and onward being read incorrectly. What was happening was the driver was expecting a packet of only 64 bytes and reading the next two bytes as controls. In fact the packet being sent was much larger and the driver was discarding valid data. The driver fix does two things: 1. Adds native support for the FT232H (and that's the only device I added) 2. Scans the device for the max packet size, which previously was hard-set to 64 bytes. At some point I'll put my ftdi_sio.ko code changes on github. Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on June 03, 2012, 05:16:25 AM Updated for cgminer 2.4.2:

Doughnation sent. Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on June 04, 2012, 01:39:43 AM Any updates on Ztex support? I can compile a version with it in, but I don't know that anyone has got it working. Look back through this thread and see if you can get any info from those who have attempted it. And thanks Ned :) Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: nelisky on June 04, 2012, 09:12:16 AM Any updates on Ztex support? I can compile a version with it in, but I don't know that anyone has got it working. Look back through this thread and see if you can get any info from those who have attempted it. And thanks Ned :) I'm using ztex in OpenWRT, in fact I did much of the development with that as target (as it is the hardest to debug, might as well make it work there to start with). Can't speak of DD-WRT. Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: BR0KK on June 04, 2012, 05:24:32 PM Does it work great, without stales etc. I heard something about offloading problems on Ztex Boards?
Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: nelisky on June 04, 2012, 05:46:28 PM It works just fine in my experience. I have the router dedicated to cgminer, mining to p2pool and it has no difference that I can perceive from the same setup with a full linux desktop.
Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: BR0KK on June 04, 2012, 05:51:54 PM Oh thats nice since i want to get rid of my mac mini, what router do u use ?
Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: nelisky on June 04, 2012, 05:55:54 PM TP-Link MR3220 (also tried the MR3420 which is basically the same thing only with better wifi range, so I'm using that one as originally designed :) )
Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: BR0KK on June 04, 2012, 06:13:14 PM thanks :)
try to get one from ebay now.... is it hard for a non linux noob like me to get cg miner running on that hardware (i know how to do the openwork DDwrt part :)) Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: nelisky on June 05, 2012, 08:22:54 AM thanks :) try to get one from ebay now.... is it hard for a non linux noob like me to get cg miner running on that hardware (i know how to do the openwork DDwrt part :)) Well, I grabbed openwrt sources and compiled it with the needed kernel modules (so I didn't have to load them afterwards which could fail due to lack of space). I then cross compiled cgminer and presto. Ok, I skipped the step of getting ztex worker going on the cross compiled environment, but that has already been done and does not need to be done again. Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: Chefnet on June 10, 2012, 10:06:23 AM hi,
and what is with the ztex bitstream? My tp-link 703n says there is not enough space for it? Or can you give me your compiled cgminer and it do not need it? Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: rudrigorc2 on June 10, 2012, 10:45:05 AM hi, and what is with the ztex bitstream? My tp-link 703n says there is not enough space for it? Or can you give me your compiled cgminer and it do not need it? have u seen this? http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Icarus#Using_TP-LINK_TL-WR703N_as_host it uses cgminer 2.4.1 though, and theres a bug, right now you cant use privileged API. Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: Chefnet on June 10, 2012, 11:14:23 AM yes I have, but I don't get my ztex working (libusb 1.0.18 is installed so I think the bitstream is missing)
Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: nelisky on June 10, 2012, 11:52:35 AM hi, and what is with the ztex bitstream? My tp-link 703n says there is not enough space for it? Or can you give me your compiled cgminer and it do not need it? Well, you should be able to fit the one bitstream you are actually using without problems, but if you want the full bitstream directory or you have multiple ztex boards with different versions running at the same time, you'll need to set up usb storage. That is what I do. Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: Chefnet on June 10, 2012, 12:09:03 PM do you have a small tutorial for both usb storage and using it with cgminer and ztex?
Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: nelisky on June 10, 2012, 12:47:12 PM do you have a small tutorial for both usb storage and using it with cgminer and ztex? No, I don't. I'm using my own build of OpenWRT so my steps are not directly useful if you are using anything else. Still, I can help anyone who is willing to write said tutorial, and get that into the cgminer distribution readmes. All in all it should be very trivial to get that up and going once the correct libs and modules are in place. For usb storage I'm using a usb key with 2 partitions, one with ext4 and one with swap (just because, not really needed). Look at http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/usb.storage for guidelines and ask if you have any doubts. As for cgminer, you'll need both the cgminer binary and the bitstreams directory, both living side by side in the same directory. Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: Chefnet on June 10, 2012, 12:48:56 PM thank you.
I will give it a try but I'm so busy it will take a while. can I place only the bitstream folder on the usb device or must it be the whole cgminer with the bitstream? Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: nelisky on June 10, 2012, 09:02:24 PM thank you. I will give it a try but I'm so busy it will take a while. can I place only the bitstream folder on the usb device or must it be the whole cgminer with the bitstream? You can place only the bitstream folder but you'll have to run cgminer with the current directory being the parent of bitstreams. Once you do give it a try let me know if you have any issues. I might try it out with a plain vanilla OpenWRT one of these days too, but can't really promise I'll beat you to it.

I am trying to run the router in "Client mode". I made a post on the DD-WRT forums, which I've posted below.
Quote from: streblo Router: Cisco e3000, DD-WRT 14929 std-usb Goal: Have the router run in client or client bridged mode (I have followed this guide exactly (http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Client_Mode)) Problem: The client router cannot ping (if given a static IP) or get a DHCP lease from the host router. The host router is encrypted with WEP (I am aware of security issues. I am not in control of the host router). I think the client router cannot properly connect wirelessly. Is there any way to check? In status->wireless, the host router DOES show up under "access point." The external WLAN light does come on solid. Signal quality is reported at ~60%. Under wireless->"Basic Settings", for the 802.11x adaptor, wl0, should "network configuration" be bridged or unbridged? I have tried both, but I followed the guide exactly which doesn't mention it (bridged is the default setting). Thank you very much in advance There's 10BTC going to p_shep if I can actually get these singles running off of this e3000. Any ideas?

Yes, bridged is what you want if you aren't routing multiple networks. Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: Chefnet on June 21, 2012, 06:09:37 AM can you compile for tp also?

Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on June 21, 2012, 03:24:15 PM Have you specified a wifi type? I put mine G-only. Also read that mixed can confuse things.
Keep reading DD-WRT forums, may find something to help. It certainly should work! Also, you're matching up the IP's properly aren't you? What's the IP of the main router you're connecting to? What IP did you set the e3000 to? does the main router have a range set aside for static IPs? Can I compile for TP? No. I tried, doesn't work with the compiler I have. People have though, so I don't know why they don't make it available... Title: Re: CGminer on DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: streblo on June 22, 2012, 12:00:28 AM I had not specified a wifi type. I tried B-only to no avail (the wifi router LED still turns on fully). Nice suggestion though =(
Host router: 192.168.11.1 client bridge router: 192.168.11.50 PC connected to client bridge via ethernet: 192.168.11.25 The host router is a POS and starts at 192.168.11.1 and I believe starts issuing DHCP leases at 192.168.11.2. Sorry for derailing the cgminer thread, but, OTOH, thank you very much for the suggestions. I made an updated post on the DD-WRT forums here (http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=694492#694492). I will try to get this sorted out in its proper place. Please reply to that thread or PM me if you have any other suggestions!!

Title: Re: CGminer v2.4.3 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on June 22, 2012, 11:05:00 PM To make things clear:
The binaries included here WILL NOT WORK with TP link devices. They are a different processor. I did try to compile for this processor, but I couldn't get everything to compile. I could get libUSB (for ztex) and cgminer to compile, but not ftdi_sio.ko (serial driver for BFL). Since I don't have a TP link device, I'm giving up. Nothing I produce I could test anyway. Your best bet is to contact xiangfu and ask him nicely (read: ply him with bitcoins) to maintain it. Title: Re: CGminer v2.4.3 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: GoldZuGeld on June 23, 2012, 06:14:48 PM which routers can you recommend for this project?
do you mean with cpu problem the difference between big and little endian? edit: ok 2 possibilities here: - buy the cheapest broadcom modell: seems to be linksys e3000 oder e3200 - hope to get a big endian version to use tplink routers. Title: Re: CGminer v2.4.3 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: streblo on June 23, 2012, 09:12:08 PM GoldZuGeld: I believe p_shep uses an e3000 - I am using one as well and can recommend it (WEP encryption issues notwithstanding...)

Or does it only allow the router to be used to send out the work to the child devices as the parent? And, if it does do hashing itself, what numbers are we seeing out of these?
Title: Re: CGminer v2.4.3 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: streblo on June 25, 2012, 12:30:54 AM No it doesn't, and if it did, I would imagine the speed would be ca. 0.1MH/s -- in other words, totally pointless.

I'm not so certain about that. Routers handle some pretty heavy loads when it comes to encryption and decryption. Remember, they handle WPA2 with AES in heavy numbers per second. Keeping that in mind, it wouldn't be totally careless to think they could handle some SHA-256 as well at a decent rate. If so, we could be looking at lower-cost hashing power.Title: Re: CGminer v2.4.3 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: streblo on June 25, 2012, 06:12:04 AM No it doesn't, and if it did, I would imagine the speed would be ca. 0.1MH/s -- in other words, totally pointless. I'm not so certain about that. Routers handle some pretty heavy loads when it comes to encryption and decryption. Remember, they handle WPA2 with AES in heavy numbers per second. Keeping that in mind, it wouldn't be totally careless to think they could handle some SHA-256 as well at a decent rate. If so, we could be looking at lower-cost hashing power.It's certainly an interesting idea, if a dedicated router could SHA-256 hash quickly. I think it's negligible though because unless there's onboard dedicated hardware for SHA512 hashes (AFAIK, no routers have this -- and if they did the mining community would have found and bought them), it will be CPU mining with a 480MHz processor which just isn't that fast (esp. without difficult assembly optimizations). Title: Re: CGminer v2.4.3 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on June 25, 2012, 06:19:27 AM When I was first fiddling about with cgminer on a router I enabled CPU mining just to test it out. It didn't submit a single share in the hour or two I left it on. It took so long a long poll would come through and wipe out the work before it completed.
As to dedicated hardware to do the job... that feasible, but even if there was a hardware SHA256, I think the processor that does that (wireless) and the routing etc., is separate from the CPU, so I don't know how practice it might really be as far as getting the work done. Then you get into the whole Broadcom doesn't release their datasheets thing.

I moved my Asus RT-N16 over to be my host as the e3000 was over heating in the hot weather. The asus was also occasional resetting (though nowhere near as often) so decided to 'mod' it and ad a fan. Well somewhere something went wrong and now it's bricked. My guess is that in removing the existing heatsink I broke some of the BGAs or something. Very annoying. Title: Re: CGminer v2.5.0 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on July 25, 2012, 04:25:10 PM AAaaaaand... it came back to life.
Weird. Title: Re: CGminer v2.5.0 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: streblo on July 26, 2012, 05:08:57 PM A few things:
(1) I got cgminer working with my BFLs. P_shep, do you want your 10 BTC donation to your pan handling address? (2) It seems if I disconnect a BFL single (usually on accident), it won't start mining until I do a "#service cgminer stop && service cgminer start". The log file says something about, IIRC, /dev/usb/tty/0 not being readable. Is there a way to make BFL singles hot-swappable? (3) Every few days my e3000 will disconnect from the wireless and I have to reboot it. Anyone know of a cronjob to restart the wireless every day or so? (EDIT: I think this will work "wl radio off && wl radio on") EDIT2: Here is a great fix-wifi-if-broken script: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Useful_Scripts#Reset_Wireless_Radio Title: Re: CGminer v2.5.0 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on July 26, 2012, 06:02:42 PM Great! well done :)
1) :D 2) Yep. When I get time I'll look into hotswap stuff. It really shouldn't be TOO difficult. As it is, when you unplug a device and plug it back in it enumerates to a different serial port. Since you start CGMiner with set ports, it'll only look at those, and so will miss the new port created when you plug the device back in. 3) I've had some over heating issues now the really hot weather has kicked in, but my router just reset. The only time I had trouble with the radio stopping was when I used the most recent firmware. Its a shame to used such a cludge like that script, but if it works... Edit: 2) Thinking about it, scanning the serial ports is very system specific. I would have to cater for other devices too in cgminer. An easier option may be just to edit the start up script cgminer.sh... If you move the DEVS='...' line to inside the while loop, then all you need to do is quit cgminer via a api command (as opposed to service restart). Next time around the loop the new serial port will be picked up by the script and used in the cmd line. You can also reduce the sleep time so it comes back up quicker. Title: Re: CGminer v2.5.0 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: unclemantis on July 27, 2012, 05:03:58 PM That is pretty neat. talk about a conversation piece.

I can sure that connect 41 Icarus to one little 703n is works just fine. should be same as BFL. since they are all using usb-serial. I'm thinking it could well handle the max possible 100.

As far as I know it just needs libusb v1.0, which I downloaded and compiled for dd-wrt. As I said in the readme and OP, you're on your own...

Title: Re: CGminer v2.7.5 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: rampone on September 09, 2012, 02:01:21 AM So I had it running today on a 3200. darn, it does no openwrt.
But what I immediately noticed, that the idle time between work was easy noticable (bflsingles led going out for about 100ms to 300 ms. That is a lot actually, as with my athlon x2 250 cpu on ubuntu it is barely the idle time is barely noticable. I am not into cgminer, but maybe work delivery could be tuned, as it seems like sth is calculated, just the delivery of data should not take much longer on that router. (tuning in meaning: send new already prepared work before checking the result of the work before). Maybe i have to fire up the 500 mhz celeron laptop, and check the "idle times" there. I did not let it run for a long time, to see if hashrate is still the same, as i guess it wont be, what idles, (even though not long), does not hash. My guesstimate of hash loss is sth like 5 to 10 %? Damn, i wanted this to be my solution, love router hacking/openwrt/mesh nets/those little computers ;) Maybe ask the cgminer guys, what they think of that effect, and if it could be tuned. (asking in irc right now) Title: Re: CGminer v2.7.5 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on September 09, 2012, 02:53:23 AM Quote (bflsingles led going out for about 100ms to 300 ms.) I certainly don't see that. just a flicker for me. 300ms would be VERY noticeable. In my version of cgminer I run (home_brew in my git) I have timers around all the comms routines. Avg time is around 0.015s, max time 0.024s over the past 2 days with many, MANY throttles (been HOT here). The best way to check is to compare hash rates between systems over a day or so. Should be consistent. Title: Re: CGminer v2.7.5 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: rampone on September 09, 2012, 02:58:07 AM so I got told, that you can check the timings of the bfl via the api, the minimum time is only 0.00003 @e3200 vs 0.00001 @x2 cpu.
that value still does not explain that idle time. I noticed, that the serial ports are hooked in differently under dd-wrt then under a normal distro (not /dev/ttyUSB -> /dev/usb/tty/0), is that the cause? Title: Re: CGminer v2.7.5 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: rampone on September 09, 2012, 03:05:04 AM I really am not able to time it, 300 ms could be too much, but it is definitely more noticable than with the "pc".
The api readings also give me faith, that it is caused by sth else. As the e3200 had to actually have another use, which it can't handle (pptpinternet connection fails), i will probably send it back monday, and try with a tp-link and openwrt again, oh that endian... But to not be so negative: p-sheps work is really slick with integrated service etc. http://youtu.be/xxxNnIS2cuQ (http://youtu.be/xxxNnIS2cuQ) http://youtu.be/PaH2CWPVVZ8 (http://youtu.be/PaH2CWPVVZ8) maybe my guesstimate with more than 5% idle is a bit high, but you can see the difference. P_shep is your "blinking" less? Title: Re: CGminer v2.7.5 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on September 09, 2012, 03:37:31 AM Definitely an observable difference there. Mine blink slower then your unbuntu there, probably as slow as your e3200. I can say that's less then 100ms though, 100 would be quite clear. Guess this is simply the processing time of the router... not much you can do about that.
Title: Re: CGminer v2.7.5 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: rampone on September 09, 2012, 03:49:35 AM the funny thing is the min time for idling reported by cgminer via the api is way less. thats why i think, it could be sth else. maybe i test it with my celeron 500 usb 1.1 notebook setup sometime, see, if its blinking the same like with a fast cpu, or does the blinking like with the router. but not today.
For anyone with just a few bfls and already owning a linksys/dd-wrt compatible mipsel router and no server running 24/7 this is definitely still the way to go.

Here I still have adequate payout (about 0.5 btc/day) but reported average hashrate is only 1066 mh/s. I suspect it's because of some side effect of stratum protocol. Do you know why it is so?

Quote For all: Copy cgminer scripts to /opt/etc/init.d (cgminer.sh, S99cgminer) Copy cgminer executable to /opt/bin (cgminer) Copy cgminer.conf to /opt/etc Edit according to your setup. See CGminer documentation. Copy libusb-1.0 files to /opt/lib Rename the originals (if any) The last step is (for me as a linux noob) hard to understand. I downloaded the cgminer package and transferred all libusb files via winscp to the appropriate folder. These three files were transferred: Code: libusb-1.0.so Code:
So i have to delete or rename the libusb files marked with a "4". Like this "libusb-0.1.so.4.4.4"? What the hell is an ".ink"? That must be a windows leftover i think so i have to rename them to? Title: Re: CGminer v2.10.0 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on February 21, 2013, 10:21:35 AM The .lnk is a windows leftover, it's how windows deals with symbolic links.
For linux you create the symbolic links with ln -s <source> <dest> so: ln -s libusb-0.1.so.0.1.0 libusb-1.0.so ln -s libusb-0.1.so.0.1.0 libusb-1.0.so.0 and delete the .lnk files Title: Re: CGminer v2.10.0 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: BR0KK on February 21, 2013, 02:14:44 PM I deleted the ink files and made the symbolic links as you described, but i do have (again beginners) issues with lsusb.
if i call it i get this error message: Code: root@DD-WRT-FPGA:~# lsusb This is after renaming all the default libusb files and a restart of the router. Looks like this now: Code: libusb-0.1.so.4.4.4.txt How do i get lsusb to use the other libusb libraries? As i understand this lsusb uses the default files and i have to set a dependency somewhere? That dependency will be necessary for cgminer to use the "new" libusb files as well. There is no easy way to do this? Sry that i have to ask all these noob questions.

Seems that with my knowledge of linux (and shell) I'm unable to do this (this is part of what i hate with linux. No, to zero usability/compatibility for beginners :()..

I can't help you compiling this. Missing lcurl ... Did you install it correctly? Title: Re: CGminer v2.10.0 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on February 28, 2013, 03:13:54 PM BROKK, do you have all the bitstream binaries?
For the -lcurl, you have to manually specify it in the configure command. And obviously have it compiled for the platform with the headers available. Title: Re: CGminer v2.10.0 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: BR0KK on March 01, 2013, 12:12:43 PM I think i have the necesary files for singles in the bitstreams directory:
Code: root@dd_wrt_fpga:/opt/bin/bitstreams# ls I chmod-ed them in case that this is needed. When I'm at home ill try again with the singles to get a printout what error they produce. Note i preflashed them with the 15d4 firmware with btcminer! Is the address below for donating?

And obviously have it compiled for the platform with the headers available. I fixed the header using symlinks, the LD is the one complaining that means i need the compiled lib.so.X I tryied to compile it but whiout of luck, BUT the lib is already avalible for openwrt soo ill try to download it on the router and them copy it where LD is looking for it.

In other news I'm not using the router anymore, in fact I'm not even mining directly right now. My units are being hosted elsewhere... Anyway, this means I can't test the compiled binaries, and since Kano has completely changed the way in which the FPGAs are communicated with (libUSB in place of serial drivers), I don't know if they will work. They SHOULD, but I can't test. I think 2.10.0 is pretty stable and has most of the features needed anyway, so I might leave it at that, but I could try the latest. Will be a while before I can compile it though as I don't have the build environment set up where I am and I'll have to sort that out (no easy task). Title: Re: CGminer v2.10.0 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: BR0KK on March 04, 2013, 10:55:17 AM I'll send a coin as soon as i get home :)
Somehow singles work too now... I dont know why.... The "cpability missing 0 7" issue is still there but they happily start mining! Must be one of my crappy Power-supplies that prevents them being flashed properly Thanks for the comiling ! If you'll try again i can test it for you with my Ztex boards.

Title: Re: CGminer v2.10.0 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on March 10, 2013, 10:58:48 AM The main issue routers have (or some) is the routing chips' driver is closed souce (particularly for broadcom) is only available for certain kernels. Just throwing on any version, unfortunately, won't work.
Title: Re: CGminer v2.10.0 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on April 18, 2013, 11:07:04 AM OK, no idea if this will work, but I finally update to 2.11.4:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/34n528nk2j18qdd/cgminer-2.11.4-mipsel.tar.gz Since the mechanism to detect FPGA devices has change from specifying serial ports, to auto detect with libusb, I've just commented out the line in the start-up script (cgminer.sh) which adds finds them and adds them to the command line. Someone who knows their way around linux can give this a try, see if it works. As I've said, I no longer have any units to test with, so I'm just compiling this blind. Title: Re: CGminer v2.11.4 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: irritant on April 18, 2013, 12:08:07 PM tested it but not sure if it is working, screen -r shows a blank screen... so I guess it is not working

Unfortunately the libcurl with optware is too old for cgminer, so I compiled the latest and that's not working. ipkg install libcurl -force-reinstall will get the optware verison back. (have you tried resetting the router?) Title: Re: CGminer v2.11.4 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: irritant on April 18, 2013, 03:18:25 PM I've tried rebooting, but not resetting to factory defaults, would this solve the "Illegal instruction" message when I try to do anything (like wget, or ipkg) ?
trying it anyway Title: Re: CGminer v2.11.4 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on April 18, 2013, 03:24:40 PM "Illegal instruction" is an odd one. I'm not getting that.
Fall back is unplug the USB stick, reboot, then plug is back in and mount it, so that optware scripts aren't loaded. Maybe then you can run ipkg etc. Title: Re: CGminer v2.10.0 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on April 18, 2013, 03:53:18 PM if it's any consolation, I've just hosed my optware too!
Though I was trying something different Title: Re: CGminer v2.10.0 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: irritant on April 18, 2013, 04:01:54 PM some bad luck in the air lately, don't give it up , we will get lucky someday :/
(I lost access to my router after I reset to factory defaults, unplugged it and put the router in a bag, taking a break from it now, and taking it to a place where I can try it out again from scratch... with a clear mind, in a couple hours) edit: back to 2.10.0 and everything is working again (after reinstalled optoware) Title: Re: CGminer v2.10.0 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on April 18, 2013, 04:05:53 PM Factory reset probably wasn't necessary! It's just optware, the stuff on the USB stick that needed fixing, not the router itself.
Anyway, it'll have gone back to the default 192.168.1.1 and you'll have to plug a computer directly into it via a cable. Just got the hassle of setting it all up again!

Title: Re: CGminer v2.10.0 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on April 26, 2013, 02:20:41 PM I think it might be a no-go.
Cgminer is now using some code which is too new for the old compiler used with Optware. Specifically, the new USB handling uses 'semtimedop' which is a semaphore timed operation. It's first appearance is in uclibc v 0.9.30. Optware uses 0.9.28. The reason It all messed up last time was becuase I was using a newer compiler, one used with entware (https://code.google.com/p/wl500g-repo/) which is supposed to be an updated version of optware, but the two are incompatible with each other. I'm trying now to build uclibc 0.9.30 into the toolchain, but at the very best it'll require copying over the dd-wrt version of uclibc, at worst... mess optware up.

Although Entware is supposed to be a modern optware replacement, no-one has written nice automatic scripts to install the usually require packages. I'm thinking of using OTRW2 script and hacking it to use entware instead. The other issue is that anyone wanting to use cgminer on their router, will have to wipe their USB sticks and reinstall everything. Title: Re: CGminer v2.10.0 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: Luke-Jr on April 26, 2013, 06:15:11 PM Note BFGMiner (with fewer bugs and better support) has official OpenWrt packages.
Title: Re: CGminer v2.10.0 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: BR0KK on April 26, 2013, 07:42:25 PM Problem is that we're on dd wrt and it uses ipkg not opkg to install stuff.
There is no easy way to switch this as far as I know..... Depends on the router you choose wich one is better supported (Ddwrt or open wrt). I first went with qpenwrt on a tp-link mr3420 only to find out that there weren't drivers for Ztex boards (my error.... Should have searched better!) Now the linksys e3200 works with dd wrt..... Title: Re: CGminer v2.10.0 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on April 29, 2013, 11:44:46 AM I've done away with the libraries and I've linked cgminer statically, so all the necessary libraries are built into the binary.
So no more copying libusb or libcurl, but Does means the cgminer binary has quadrupled in size... https://www.dropbox.com/s/g16wkzv9kndxymd/cgminer-3.1.0-mipsel.tar.gz Title: Re: CGminer v2.10.0 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: BR0KK on April 29, 2013, 11:49:01 AM I've done away with the libraries and I've linked cgminer statically, so all the necessary libraries are built into the binary.

Title: Re: CGminer v2.10.0 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on April 29, 2013, 01:46:54 PM Just a general FYI:
From Kano's post here: https://forums.butterflylabs.com/announcements/913-bitforce-sc-communication-protocol-draft-revision-2-a-7.html#post27722 He says the Rpi uses 3% CPU running a single Jalapenos. The Rpi has a 700MHz ARM processor. The N routers are ~ 480MHz MIPS processors. Just a ball-park figure, i'd say the Jalapenos will use 4-5% CPU on the MIPS, so you won't be able to run too many on the routers. Say 10 for ~50% CPU usage (don't think you'd want to maintain much over that). I wonder what usage the singles would use... since the difficulty should just scale, I'm thinking the singles would also use ~5% CPU each.

The voltage 'floats' anywhere it likes, so if you have two, the grounds can be at different potentials. Maybe you can try another 12V supply?

Title: Re: CGminer v3.3.1 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: OtaconEmmerich on July 20, 2013, 09:37:19 PM Nope, nogo. Also would using Optware for Tomato be a problem?
Title: Re: CGminer v3.3.1 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: OtaconEmmerich on July 26, 2013, 06:40:47 PM Well I got DD-WRT and I'm pretty sure mostly EVERYTHING is running smooth with 3.1.1(rolled back for compatibility sake) problem is my router (RT-16) does not show that any serial device is plugged in when I plug in the BE. Nothing shows up in /dev/usb/tts. This one last hurdle and I'll be happily mining away I think.
This is what shows up when I check dmesg too.

Kano changed the code to use USBlib directly, so the ftdi_sio.ko (which is the kernel serial driver) is no longer needed.
From the look of your dmesg, NO USB device is detected at all... as in, not that the driver isn't present, but that the hardware isn't even plugged in. Title: Re: CGminer v3.3.1 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: jago25_98 on August 05, 2013, 11:51:14 AM I don't want to use a powered USB hub if possible since I only have one miner.

Unless I mount a network share...? Title: Re: CGminer v3.3.1 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on August 05, 2013, 12:23:46 PM a NFS share on start-up could well work. I think you could do that with a start-up script in the admin panel. Mount it top /opt and you should be golden

I'm not sure that'll have the resources to run cgminer :/ But It should at least start. The compiler optimization maybe set for later processors.

The compiler optimization maybe set for later processors. Yeah that's probably it... though I would have expected something more verbose to help me figure that out. I guess if so I'd have to figure out how to cross compile... easier to change to openwrt and use the supplied distro copy. Meanwhile, the beaglebone (angstrom) doesn't recognise the Eruptor with lsusb.. perhaps not enough power even though the Eruptor lights up and all looks ok... ...and USB ports on the Raspberry Pi are producing errors now.

Thanks P.S. I am using DD-WRT Title: Re: CGminer v3.3.1 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on October 09, 2013, 09:58:25 AM I've upped to the latest that will still work, which is 3.3.4.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/950r36j86mx69d6/cgminer_3.3.4_mipsel.ipk I've now nicely packaged it in an IPK. To install: Copy to your router /opt dir and cd there type: >ipkg install cgminer_3.3.4_mipsel.ipk It'll copy all the files to the correct places and install any other missing packages automagically. If you already have cgminer.conf, it'll ask if you want to overwrite... of course not, so press 'N' Otherwise, edit the /opt/etc/cgminer.conf file to your needs. Then type: >service cgminer start Title: Re: CGminer v3.3.4 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: OtaconEmmerich on October 09, 2013, 03:36:21 PM going to take a guess and say that ipk only works on DD-WRT?
Title: Re: CGminer v3.3.4 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on October 09, 2013, 04:11:56 PM It's an optware IPK. It'll work with dd-wrt, Kong mod and asuswrt-Merlin, and probably asuswrt too.
Also for taxik, if you can install optware (http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=156013), you can run this. Title: Re: CGminer v3.3.4 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: OtaconEmmerich on October 10, 2013, 12:52:08 AM It's an optware IPK.

Fat32 doesn't have the ability to do symbolic links, which will cause all sorts of problems. But it's saying that the compression formats is wrong, which is odd. I installed it OK on a totally fresh Optware. Maybe try: ipkg update ipkg upgrade To update everything first. Though on my asuswrt-Merlin I had to adapt the ipk. for some reason some of the installation scripts didn't work (I have no idea why - said they were missing) So I made a new IPK without them. Scripts didn't do too much, just stop and restart the service. Also, you can install wget-ssl for https transfers, just have to remove wget first: ipkg remove wget ipkg install wget-ssl Title: Re: CGminer v3.3.4 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: OtaconEmmerich on October 10, 2013, 10:56:17 AM I was using a separate flash drive that was FAT32 formatted to transfer the IPK as wget wouldn't work. I think it's messing up because I had Entware installed and it may be a bit confused. I tried installing wget-ssl but it doesn't seem to be working at all too.
I'll probably just install the newest merlin firmware and try again, It's been a few months and there was a decent firmware update to it so might as well. Edit:Well one quick update and Optware reinstall later..It's having the same issue...I think the default ASUS-Merlin optware isn't quite the same as DD-WRT's.. What's the command to get wget working with SSL? I've got wget-ssl installed and I'm using Code: wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/950r36j86mx69d6/cgminer_3.3.4_mipsel.ipk It worked fine when I had Entware installed..but I'm sure Entware has wget 1.14-1 Title: Re: CGminer v3.3.4 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on October 10, 2013, 11:49:29 AM wget will use ssl when it needs to if you install wget-ssl
I've tried using entware, but doesn't really work for me. Seems to have the same failings at optware, with the added bonus of not having all the support and nice scripts. Using the flash drive to transfer the file is fine, ipkg will copy it to a temp dir, the 'ipkg-zWCaj2/cgminer-7gGXKd' I'll up-load the non-script version, because for some reason it doesn't work with asuswrt, and I have absolutely no idea why... neither does google. Just means you should manually shut down and start up the cgminer service when updating. https://www.dropbox.com/s/dwj0tmj89v4c27d/cgminer_3.3.4-1_mipsel.ipk Title: Re: CGminer v3.3.4 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: OtaconEmmerich on October 10, 2013, 12:05:15 PM SUCCESS!

Title: Re: CGminer v3.8.3 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: OtaconEmmerich on December 10, 2013, 05:20:32 PM Thanks for all the effort you do Con, and Thanks for compiling these Shep. Whenever you get to 3.8.5 I'll give it a go again.
Also I ment 3.6.3 in the last post, Which has been stable sense I upgraded my firmware and reinstalled Optware fresh and will stay that way I hope. Title: Re: CGminer v3.8.5 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on December 10, 2013, 10:10:58 PM OK, here it is:

Might have to go back to 3.6.3 also.

Might have to go back to 3.6.3 also. I picked up a WNDR3700v4 for $30 a few days ago, but didn't realize it's an Atheros mipseb SoC, not a Broadcom MIPSEL chip. So then I got a WNR3500Lv2, which will be here in a few days. It's about the only broadcom MIPSEL I could find with 128MB RAM, 128MB Flash, and still only $30 on fleabay. Maybe things will go smoother this time. ;) Should I start with your suggested 3.6.3, or go with the newest 3.8.5? It'll only be controlling SC Singles. Title: Re: CGminer v3.8.5 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on December 22, 2013, 04:52:58 PM Maybe stick with 3.6.3. Not sure there's much advantage with 3.8.5

Can you compile a newer version with the -scrypt option? It is not available in the builds I've tested. Thanks Title: Re: CGminer v3.8.5 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT Post by: P_Shep on February 04, 2014, 11:51:28 AM P_Shep, Can you compile a newer version with the -scrypt option? It is not available in the builds I've tested. Thanks Errr.. Scrypt requires a GPU. You've seen many routers with a GPU? Also, The newer version don't even have that anymore, CK removed quite some versions ago.

I picked up a 2nd hand Netgear D6300 and installed dd-wrt on it today. I believe it has a Broadcom chipset. Will it support this cgminer distribution? Another thing I'd love to do with my router is to run a full node. (I can connect a USB drive so space is not an issue). But hey, cgminer is a good start!
