How do you use cgminer with a BFL mini-rig?

[Paladin69]

Have no idea how to get cgminer to work with fpga's.  Can't install OpenCL on xp pro and the cgminer-fpgaonly.exe in the latest version doesn't seem to work...just sits there when you run it.

Could someone help me with a proper .conf file or batch file?  I'm running the windows version and a total newb at this.

First thing you need to do is put that mini rig back in the box and ship it to me! lol might want to send a message to Gigavps I believe he has a FARM of the mini-rigs!!!!  Do you have a USB drive on the mini rig, if so, load up BAMT on a USB stick and see if it works.

Wait you bought a ~$15K rig and are trying to run it from "XP" a 12 year old obsolete OS.  I can't help you with exactly why cgminer isn't working right but have you considered using a modern OS?  Even if you want to stick with Windows ... Win7?

Not many people run XP anymore which is going to make troubleshooting and support difficult.  Given with mining time = money it seems a prudent investment to use an OS more likely to be used by other miners.

I'm running on linux so I use "-S auto" for cgminer to auto detect all BFL PCBs connected. This does not work on windows though so it looks like you're doing it right.

Maybe BFGminer will auto scan on windows. Not sure.
