Something is wrong with V3c and WIIBOX i can´t get my miners working Sad Sad

Did you try a cold reboot? Make sure the miners are getting the 12V from the PSU.

This version supports "Per device frequency setting by serial number ":

https://github.com/girnyau/cgminer-gc3355

this version gives me around 10% lesser hashrate then the orginal cgminer .... I did a test with 20 miners ....

I asked for it ... with PM no answer ... so far ...

Sorry to bother you.

I just used your https://github.com/girnyau/cgminer-gc3355

which was compiled in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=477709.msg5763819#msg5763819 for the raspberry.

Somehow I'm getting around 10% less kh with the same setup .... then with the orginal cgminer from andreed from here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=477709.msg5539257#msg5539257

... Why does this happen ....?

Interesting. I started using the girnyau version recently but have not noticed this. Will take a closer look. The two versions are not much different from comparing the source code. The dtbartle version went away from setting static freq's and now support increments of 25. The version you referenced is an earlier build of dtbartle that had static freq.

I have considered forking the current dtbartle version with the per miner freq part of girnyau but am still undecided on doing static freq's or increments of 25. If I could figure out how to code increments of 5 that would be great. If static then there is not much benefit over just using girnyau's fork.

My miners are all over the map supporting freq's of 850 - 900+. Most of them do 863.

Are you basing your results on the pool reported hashrates? Contrary to what that one poster spams all over various threads the hashrate reported by pools are inaccurate and should not be used as a basis of your miners performance.

Edit: I'm not using a Pi. I found it too unreliable and like you mentioned about 10% lower hashrate.

IMO 25 MHz increments work the best, one of my miners runs stable at 925 MHz, but throws HW errors at 856 MHz. The 25 MHz increments have the lowest PLL frequency and other PLL dividers set at 0. I have also found that the cgminer forks does not take in account the hashing time lost when finding an invalid nonce (HW error).

I'm still waiting since 16/12/13. I don't expect anything, and apparently it's not yet 13 weeks since it shipped out (so I can get a refund).

Please try the LA controller firmware, I'm sure you'll love it and it supports Wiibox
Reject rates on Ghash.io are about .2%

BTW: We are testing a new feature called auto overclocking.

can you use usb 3 hub with this controller ?


Why not? Just make sure to daisy chain properly, have one root hub where the other hubs connected to.

i doubt controller can handle over 15+ miners

It's really weird, but I am finding better results the more miners I add to a single controller. I have six of these spread out between 48 miners. The best results so far are when I have 27 and 21 on two controllers. I cannot get everything on a single controller without moving between locations. My hashrate goes from 16700Kh (4 controllers all set to 850) to 18700Kh (2 controllers at 850). Also, the wiibox controllers us a lot less memory. Anyone know the specs?

The wiibox controllers have double (64MB) the RAM, so yes. It still would be interesting to see anyone attempt to hook up 100 miners on a wiibox, we haven't had the chance to push the firmware to the limit yet, since the 32MB on the 703N was holding that back.

It can handle up to 50 miners, we have tested that ourselves, and there is a screenshot of that somewhere in the LA main thread. The wiibox controller could probably handle double of that.

After flashing my wiibox to V3c i can acess control panel and insert pool details etc but i´m having problems detecting the miners, sometimes one or two appears but then they disconnect again, i´m using a 10 port hub with 10 miners connected Sad

Power cycle your controller, that should fix it.
909  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: LightningAsic Gridseed Controller Firmware V3 on: April 07, 2014, 02:42:14 PM


Can we use this on original Gridseed controllers?? I mean WIIBOX ??


Flashing will work on Wiibox controller, they essentially have the same chipset.

I will have to give this a try. Can you post a Litecoin donation address?

Anybody who cares about GPL freedom cares.

Your code is only as good as you publish it freely.

You took other people's code and the permission they gave you to use it requires you publish your mods.  It's theft if you don't follow the agreement that you were given when you decided to modify their code.  It's all in the GPL licensing agreement.

But when you do "pass it on" everyone does appreciate your work.  So "thank you" for doing it.  But please, man, give some cred to those who laid the groundwork, and follow their example and the agreement in the GPL.


You guys should really try the new LightningAsic V3c miner software if you haven't already, it's designed to do one thing and one thing only, to get the most out of your Gridseed miners. If you don't have a Tp-link 703N, they are really cheap to get on eBay @ ~$20. Definitely worth the investment.

Man, You're pushing so hard this on couple of threads that You should publish source (You' re probably using cgminer branch without author permission in closed sw) to deminish obvious conclusion that You have hidden interest this closed software be rant on as many devices...

Not my call, it's not cgminer and the source will be published soon enough.
Yeah, sure. Soon enough. Enough of concluded hidden interest being satisfied?

Why so mad? Still frustrated of getting your LightningAsic Gridseeds shipped late?
Instead of bickering you should appreciate the fact that I'm offering this free of charge, no strings attached. Contrary to what you think of this, I'm only getting compensated by donations, which so far I haven't received any.
Not mad. Not frustrated. Only thing that bothers me is that You are trying to profit using other's community donations. Did You ever mentioned / accomplished OpenWRT or CPUminer (or Cgminer) developers? You have right to profit from their work if You follow their publishing rules. Because You are not following simple rules of open software publishing, You have to have reason doing it wrong way. What is the reason?

Since you're the first to ask, and being so utterly annoyed about it...
https://github.com/siklon/usb-miner/tree/master/software/cpuminer
Now get off my ass.
How can one know what else is included in Your .bin file? If part of the code is not malicious, that is not assurance for complete code. Anyhow, I'm not after You. I'm not using Your firmware. So, keep explaining to the people using it that they are not breaking any law running it. If some of them are interested, of course.

I doubt anyone cares, it works and does the job, so why does it matter? The fact that you are the only one arguing about it just proved that. I promise that I did not put anything malicious in there, but that's probably no assurance for anyone who is seriously concerned about the contents being potentially malicious, and they will not use it anyway. So what's your point? Btw, if one really wants to waste time proving that, one could simple monitor outgoing network traffic. You're wasting your time with this pointless discussion.

Didn't I just publish the modified cpuminer source code? Then what the hell do you want from me? The PHP code that the miner runs on is proprietary, it isn't GPL and it is my code. Then we have OpenWRT, which is the base firmware for the router, but I did not modify their source, so again there is nothing to publish. I could link the OpenWRT buildroot source tree that I compiled from, but I mean what's the point.
913  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: LightningAsic usb miners based Gridseed GC3355 Tech Support Thread on: April 06, 2014, 11:11:51 PM
maybe no one cares about the content because no one is interested?

I feel most people got rid of the controller in an early stage as simple windows/linux machines performed much better and allowed proper configuration including real open source miner software.

maybe also an indicator for your donation level?

Not really, many people are happy with the controller now, as it perform better and is more stable. I got .1BTC from a nice lad today.

Try the v1 bin image.
Thnx, working now!

ps: Did you consider implementing some kind of autotuning feature? Would be nice if the software would be able to automatically adjust the frequency per miner to get the highest shares / lowest hw errors.

By the way, new features coming up: auto frequency tuning, revamped mining algorithm (+30kh/s/miner), detecting the IPs of running LightningAsic controllers...

After 12 hours of mining @ Ghash.io, and that's on crappy internet...

Trying to upgrade v2 controller with LAG3355_upgrade_v2.bin, but I'm getting this error:

Code:
Copied phpbxJW4u to /tmp/upgrade.bin

Starting sysupgrade...

Sysupgrade: cat: write error: Broken pipe cat: write error: Broken pipe cat: write error: Broken pipe cat: write error: Broken pipe Invalid image type. Image check 'platform_check_image' failed.

Firmware update success!

System will reboot now...

Try the v1 bin image.

For some reason I seem to be getting more HW errors with this firmware version compared to cgminer on RPi.

That's nothing to worry about, I would actually ignore HW errors unless they affect your hashing rate.

Have upgraded to V10c and I like it esp the miner log screen Smiley  Problem is with my VARDIFF pool coinshift.com the LA connects to it gets work and hashes at difficulty 256 for a few minutes but once the difficulty jumps it jumps to 3200 and stays there Sad With CGMiner my diffs change up and down proportional to shares/sec.  Is this a case of another pool that the LA doesn't like?

It changes to whatever diff the stratum pool is at, this was done to reduce the reject rate on a number of pools, primarily Ghash.io, because when the stratum tells you to change the diff but doesn't assign a new job, it's causing a flood of rejects. We're trying to keep the reject rate as low as possible, even when that means that some pools may not work properly as a result of that, there are many pools you can choose from.

hes using cpuminer.. and the firmware is free man, not like he is charging and spamming it on the forums. definitely no skin off my nose
Preamble of GPLv2 (cpuminer is published under):
"When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price."

I'm aware of that, I'll have the source up on github very soon.
