I have Xubuntu running on all of my mining machines, and I wasn't able to get my r-boxes running immediately in linux, so I used the windows version of cgminer for a few days until I had some time to try get it running on my linux machines. I got it to work by building cgminer first, then copying the files from rockminerinc/cgminer. First, I made sure to get the 4.3.3 version from
http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/4.3/ Then open terminal in the cgminer 4.3.3 folder and type:
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure <options>with options to include any other mining devices you will need. Read the file called README and probably ASIC README as well. There are no < or >, for the actual options usually it will be --option, for example one config including bitfury and icarus support would look like this:
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure --enable-bitfury --enable-icarusthen type
makethen type
sudo make installAFTER that, I replaced the files cgminer.c, driver-Icarus.c and miner.h with files from this location:
https://github.com/rockminerinc/cgminer-for-R-BOX and it has been working great for me since.
When I fire up cgminer, I type in all of the extras that I want, since there's something wrong with it loading my config file. So I type in:
./cgminer -o http://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u (username) -p x --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --anu-freq 280This will set the frequency to 280, mine have been pretty stable at that frequency at a little over 33 gh on each - I think I could get a higher hash rate at 280 if I did some more organizing and cooling - my r-miners are all packed into a computer desktop case, could use some better airflow.
