Anyone running vertminer 0.5.3 on BAMT?
I got the latest version from GitHub and installed it with these instructions:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=404364.msg4668635#msg4668635It works, but seems I can't change GPU settings. Not from thecgminer.conf, not from the command line, not from the vertminer. Also, I can't see the card temps at all. The web monitor shows the temps just fine though on
http://myip/cgi-bin/status.plEven the ./vertminer --help shows only these gpu options, so I suppose the rest are actually missing?
--disable-gpu|-G Disable GPU mining even if suitable devices exist
--gpu-dyninterval <arg> Set the refresh interval in ms for GPUs using dynamic intensity (default: 7)
--gpu-platform <arg> Select OpenCL platform ID to use for GPU mining (default: -1)
--gpu-threads|-g <arg> Number of threads per GPU (1 - 10) (default: -1)
--lookup-gap <arg> Set GPU lookup gap for scrypt mining, comma separated
--intensity|-I <arg> Intensity of GPU scanning (d or -10 -> 21,default: d to maintain desktop interactivity)
The only way to change core/mem is to set new defaults in gpu bios and flash the card with that. Which is a bit annoying when searching for the best values..
Had this same problem two different times (two weeks apart so I forgot the solution) - be sure to run ./buildit.sh and NOT sudo ./buildit.sh. running as superuser seems to break the Open-GL / ADL stuff from what I can tell (assuming you copied the ADL_SDK .h files into the appropriate folder?)
I managed to make it myself. If you want to build it on BAMT it's quite easy:
1 - Open Root Terminal (or Run LXTERMINAL)
2 - Type: cd ~/Downloads/ *(if this folder does not exist, "type: mkdir ~/Downloads/" then type cd ~/Downloads/)
3 - Type: git clone
https://github.com/Bufius/vertminer-gpu 4 - Wait for it to clone the GIT for vertminer
5 - Type: cp /opt/miners/cgminer/ADL_SDK/* ~/Downloads/vertminer-gpu/ADL_SDK/
6 - Type: cd vertminer-gpu
7 - Type: ./buildit.sh
You've succesfully built/compiled vertminer-gpu and now you need to set up a .sh (shell) that starts vertminer with your config of choice.
1 - Still in the Terminal window, Type: cd /home/user/Desktop
2 - Now type: nano start.sh and enter the following code:
export DISPLAY=:0
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100 #if you mine with 280x or 7970, set this to 200
export CGMINER_BIN=/root/Downloads/vertminer-gpu/vertminer
$CGMINER_BIN --scrypt-vert \
--config "/home/user/Desktop/config.conf \
3 - press CTRL + O (Write Out to file) - Save it as start.sh - then press CTRL + X
4 - Type: chmod +x start.sh
5 - Now type: nano config.conf and enter the following code:
{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "stratum+tcp://yourpool.org:3333",
"user" : "yourusername",
"pass" : "yourpassword"
},
],
"auto-fan" : true,
"auto-gpu" : false,
"temp-cutoff" : "95",
"temp-overheat" : "85",
"temp-target" : "80",
"gpu-fan" : "0-100",
"intensity" : "SET PREFERRED INTENSITY",
"vectors" : "1",
"worksize" : "256",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "SET YOUR TC HERE",
"api-port" : "4028",
"expiry" : "60",
"gpu-dyninterval" : "7",
"gpu-platform" : "0",
"gpu-threads" : "SET YOUR THREADS HERE",
"gpu-engine" : "SET YOUR CLOCK HERE",
"gpu-memclock" : "SET YOUR CLOCK HERE",
"gpu-powertune" : "20",
"log" : "5",
"no-pool-disable" : true,
"no-submit-stale" : true,
"queue" : "9",
"scan-time" : "30",
"scrypt" : true,
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin"
6 - CTRL + O and save it as config.conf - then press CTRL + X
7 - Type: screen and hit space
8 - Type: ./start.sh and this will launch vertminer-gpu with your config, and voila!
If you ever need to edit your config, open it with leafpad or edit with nano (i.e: nano /home/user/Desktop/config.conf)
