By the way, the first official cgminer fully supporting these devices is 3.12.3, and only one command line based on frequency is required instead of the numerous command line options all other software seemed to copy from each other:
--anu-freq 275
will get you 2.2GH. Most will run reliably with much lower hardware error rates at 250 but also lower hashrates.

Good summary.

Does Con have a cgminer build that could be run on a PC over USB?  Maybe the beaglebone controller is underpowered for the hash rate.
I just posted the source into the cgminer git master tree.
6444  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: CoinTerra announces its first ASIC - Hash-Rate greater than 500 GH/s on: February 12, 2014, 10:18:51 AM
The cointerra driver has now been merged into the cgminer git master code, so the lucky few who already have hardware can try it out by running their devices directly with a PC via USB. While there are probably fixes generically in the code from the main cgminer code, it is entirely possible there are still bugs in the driver code that will only show up only with real world testing.
I should add the cointerra device+protocol+driver has the most advanced work model designed for p2pool or similar networking and bitcoin transaction propagation with virtually seamless work restarts for rapid frequent block changes such as those required by p2pool, along with flushing of any queued work on a work template update such as that which occurs regularly with stratum update so it will always be working on the most current work - meaning it is optimised for maximum transmission of transactions, provided the pool is updating its work template frequently with new transactions. Kudos to the cointerra team for adopting everything I recommended in their work transmission/protocol.

Con / Kano:

What is the situation with Cointerra?  Did they provide test hardware / arrange for driver development in cgminer?  

I'm eager to get these machines consolidated on one instance of cgminer running on decent hardware rather than a bunch of beaglebone controllers.
Cointerra developed the communication protocol entirely based on my discussions with them and the driver for cgminer I wrote completely. Once hardware is in regular customers' hands I will push the driver to the master cgminer code. They are straight forward USB devices that are connected to a beaglebone black for standalone operation but you can unplug the beaglebone and plug a regular PC into their USB. I personally do not have any hardware yet, as I have only worked on them remotely.

There are in customer hands at this point.  It looks like there is some work needed on stability at least.

Let me know if you need access to multiple systems for testing.
Cointerra driver now merged into the cgminer master code. Numerous generic fixes from cgminer itself likely are in the cgminer master code based on cgminer 3.12.3 that are not in the standalone software released with the hardware in the beaglebone black. Without actual hardware it is distinctly possible there are bugs I have been unable to reproduce and debug so far, so if you wish to give me access to hardware to mine with it to test the software, please pm me.

You don't own any mining hardware it seems. Your PC hardware itself does not mine, it runs the mining hardware that you attach to it, and cgminer will connect to the pool happily waiting for you to plug in hardware that it recognises so that it can hotplug it.

Windows XP struggles with devices that look identical to it, and falls over with more than 8 of the same device. You may never get all of them working well on that OS. Furthermore power could well be a problem as said.

6450  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: CPUMiner API? on: February 11, 2014, 12:21:09 AM
I was wondering if CPUMiner has a remote API much like CGMiner and BFGMiner. I've been researching around, but have had no luck. In a project I am working on, I will be needing to use CPUMiner exclusively, so if I can re-purpose my API script for CGMiner to CPUMiner, that would save me a lot of headache.
Sounds like a botnet. No what you want doesn't exist for cpuminer.

No more Zombie Antminers for me with 3.12.3. 
That's reassuring. The only change from the one you tried earlier was me generically adding usb resets for when the device has a communication error, which means these resets are probably actually purposeful.

I did try also running my Bitburner Fury on 3.12.3 along with everything else (it usually runs on it's own on 3.10.0 on a BeagleBone Black).  The Fury doesn't seem at all happy on 3.12.3, timeouts, zombies, reconnects.  Any reason why this would be the case?  Machine running 3.12.3 is a Celeron NUC running Debian Wheezy.  It has plenty of RAM and CPU power in reserve.
Know nothing about that hardware, maybe Kano might chime in.

How high can these usb antminers go without going pop. The antminer guide shows 500 at 4GH. I've got them under a fan, can I really hit that or is that dead mans territory. How high can antminers be safely pushed. They don't have block eroupters bright green light to ward me of trouble.
Heat's usually not the limiting factor. Without a hardware voltage mod you're unlikely to get them to 300 even.
6453  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Hard work, no pay on: February 09, 2014, 11:02:16 PM
You don't have any mining hardware attached to your PC... cgminer mines on dedicated mining hardware. The PC is just what drives the hardware, it doesn't do the mining.
6454  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: CGMINER ASIC FPGA miner monitoring RPC linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 3.12.3 on: February 09, 2014, 09:55:26 PM
So I recently tried updating cgminer on two of my windows machines from 3.12.0 to 3.12.3 that are connected to multiple hashfast babyjets, and whenever I try running 3.12.3 cgminer just crashes on startup, yet 3.12.0 works...

I strongly advise people wait till they have new firmware as the new cgminer code is optimised around it and vice versa.

Sorry keeping up with everything is hard sometimes.

When's the new firmware being released?
That's okay. Firmware release is out of my domain and up to HF so no idea but hopefully very soon.

Information from ASIC-README:
Quote
--anu-freq <arg>    Set AntminerU1 frequency in hex, range 150-500 (default: 200)

This is not correct. Your parameter Frequency is in MHz.
Frequency in hex for 200 MHz is 0x0781 and AntMinerU1 has hash rate 1600 MHash/s at that frequency...

Could be a table with frequencies added to the ASIC-README?

Yes that's a typo, it's meant to be MHz and I accidentally wrote hex. Why do you need a table when it's a single meaningful value in MHz ? The whole point was to move away from the needlessly complex configuration involving hex values and just type in a value that means something.

Below the freq. table there is some additional information how to 'build your own' freq. hex values. Played around with the formular and found these values. Can confirm the additional mentioned 0801, 0901 and 0A01 working fine with Bitmain's cgminer fork, at least on my Antminers. Would be a pleasure testing a modified version (on a rpi or Windows PC) and reporting back. Smiley
Thanks I didn't know that. I meant for you to modify it and report back lol, but I will eventually get around to adding some more frequencies.
6457  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: HashFast BabyJet users thread on: February 08, 2014, 04:24:40 PM
I think he may be right. This happened to me and I just thought it was a fluke. Basically I was mining at Pool 1 and pool1 went down for like 5mins. During the 5mins my miner switched to pool2. pool 1 came back and it didnt switch back. Is their a time limit before it switches back/checks? For example 1 time per min or something
If there are backup pools, it won't go back to the first pool until that one has been up for over 5 minutes, as a "stability test". This prevents cgminer from trying to connect to pools that are limping along and dropping out every 2 or 3 minutes during DDoS and so on. It's very easy for your hashrates to dive under those circumstances if you reconnect immediately to a pool whenever it comes back up.

First of all, thanks a bunch for the Antminer U1 support. Smiley

3.12.3 running stable for two hours on my rpi. So far so good.

Just a thought, would be nice to have 12.5 MHz increments, allowing more specific fine tuning with +/- 100 GHash/s steps. Guess it's not that difficult implementing those values into the freq. table?

freq_hex freq_mhz ghash_s
0781   200.0   1.600
0801   212.5   1.700
0881   225.0   1.800
0901   237.5   1.900
0981   250.0   2.000
0A01   262.5   2.100
0A81   275.0   2.200

etc.
The documentation specifies only certain numbers, have you seen anywhere the values you mention? It's easy to hack the code if you wish to try them and report back Wink

WARNING:  There may be a problem with cgminer 3.12.1 that makes it stop retrieving work. I will investigate further and possibly release a fix in the next 24 hours. In the meantime I suggest users do not upgrade.

Sigh.

The Antminer U1 support isn't very stable either, mine all crapped out after an hour or so, I ended up with 50-odd as they dropped out and came back on.  I have 10 of them on a Anker hub, running off a PC running Debian Wheezy.

I'll update the error messages when they happen again, I'm on an intermittent SSH connection through my phone from work at the moment.
Hmm I can try reinstating the attempted reset but I'm not sure it's going to fix that... How much were you overclocking them?


Sorry, only got back to this thread.  2GH, which they've been stable with.  They do run basically OK with BFG at 2.2GH (one or two of them run at 10% HW error as reported by BFG), but I tried knocking them down to 2GH to see if that would help.

Overnight I now have 20 ANU devices reported by the API, when I actually only have 10. 
But they're still mining right? So the die - zombie - hotplug is just an ugly cosmetic issue, not that they have failed and stopped mining indefinitely. I've been running mine at 275 (2.2GH) which has been stable but I doubt they're all stable at that speed.

Downloaded the zip file.

Now I am confused... Do I not just run "C:\Chris\cgminer 3\cgminer_keccak-master\cgminer --keccak -o stratum+tcp://maxpool.1gh.com:17333 -u mJ75whnUbeJfu8dbqomn8ekEJ2aRUhwTkJ -p x" in command prompt?

"cgminer is not recognized" in command prompt...?

Yes super noob here Cheesy
You are in completely the wrong place as this is the main forum thread for the master cgminer code which is purely for bitcoin mining ONLY. We have no keccak code and wherever you downloaded that from is where you need to seek help.
