HOW TO UPDATE CGMINER on BAMT 0.5.c

[Nancarrow]

Just to clarify... my miners ARE working now, it's just that the hashrate and submitted/rejected shares aren't showing up on the web interface or the main gpumon screen. Lots of other info is... temperatures, fan speeds, volt/mem settings.

does gpumon show anything?
did you update mother as described above?
did you do all the BAMT updates minus #20?

As above, yes, and yes.
Is it possible it has something to do with my API settings? Here are the lines I've got in cgminer.conf:

"api-listen" : true,
"api-network" : true,
"api-allow" : "W127.0.0.1,W192.168.0.100,W:192.168.0.102,W:192.168.0.103,W:192.168.0.104",

blah.100 is my laptop for everyday use, blah.10{2,3,4} are my rigs.

so thats a call to cgminer itself to go to the next pool? do you have to specify that port in your config

[Marrs]

I use a script to do it:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
rig0="192.168.1.99"
port="4028"
        echo -n "switchpool|$1" | nc "$rig0" "$port" ;echo "$rig0"

add as many rig#="Ip Address of Rig"  and copy and edit the echo line with rig# as needed

Instead of hard coding a separate echo line for each rig, you can do something like this:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#Add rig addresses to the RIGS variable, one per line
RIGS="192.168.1.99
192.168.1.100
192.168.1.101"

# split on newline
IFS="
"

port="4028"
for rig in $RIGS; do
  echo -n "switchpool|$1" | nc "$rig" "$port" ;echo "$rig"
done

I get this message "STATUS=E,When=1364014383,Code=25,Msg=Missing pool id parameter,Description=cgmin                          er 2.11.2|192.168.1.115"


what do i need to do?

Did you pass a parameter to the script file

i.e. ./switchpool.sh 3

[superfastkyle]

haha no one told me that part. Thanks again
bamt, latest cgminer, stratum, pool hopping
don't think I can get much better than that for now

Here's my update script if anyone wants to use it
wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/65763458/updatecg -O /bin/updatecg;chmod a+x /bin/updatecg;updatecg

I get this message "STATUS=E,When=1364014383,Code=25,Msg=Missing pool id parameter,Description=cgmin                          er 2.11.2|192.168.1.115"

you don't need to do a git clone, wget of SDK and mother everytime you want to update cgminer.
your script wastes bandwidth.

Hey I never said it was perfect or even that it was ideal. But it is something you can copy and paste and will get the job done. If somebody would make a better script to just copy and paste and go, I'm all for it. But it is alot easier than making your own script for newbs.

I got exactly like this:

It's don't work...

I ran your script, no errors. But it seems cgminer was failed to run. My bamt.conf is edited accordingly to run cgminer.

Any ideas?

[Mobius]

redo the steps in the OP again, print it out and check off each step.

So, I ran through the process in the OP and I keep getting an error when its trying to connect to eclipsemc.com.  Anyone else getting some sort of certificate error?  Or am I just special?

ERROR: certificate common name âssl3131.cloudflare.comâeclipsemc.comâ
                                                                     To connect to eclipsemc.com insecurely, use â--no-check-certificateâ.

Okay, so I just downloaded the file in Windows, uploaded it to Dropbox, and then used that address.  Once I did that, everything else went through smoothly.  Now mining on stratum servers.

Thanks.

use --no-check-certificate

or try using http instead of https

I need help - everything went smoothly step by step. But my miner is not working.  I am guessing it has something to do with the cgminer.conf file.  The IP address part im unclear about.  Am I suppossed to put my miner's IP address in that field, or is this intended to point the miner to another machine that is running the proxy?

[Mobius]

no proxy needed, look at sample .conf file in opening post

[logicbomb666]

I'm sorry, I misspoke. (I'm pretty noobish when it comes to this stuff)  I was referring to this...

You'll need to edit --api-allow W:192.168.1.1,W:192.168.1.31,W:127.0.0.1 for your specific ip addresses you want to allow access to the cgminer API

I do not know what the api-allow ips are for. 

[Mobius]

It is the IP address of the systems you wish to allow to access the API system in that instance of BAMT. W:127.0.0.1 and the IP Address of the Actual BAMT rig itself (I.E. W:192.168.1.31) are necessary for BAMT to work correctly with cgminer. The W:192.168.1.1 is the address of a remote machine you designate to be able to send API commands (read the API-README for more information)

[Zanatos666]

Isnt configuring the API only really needed if you are running some program that is going to access and collect info for display from BAMT?  I dont use that code.  I guess if you are wanting to track things from outside of your network, then yeah.  But not having a properly configured API wouldnt prevent the system from mining would it?  The API would just fail and not work, but that shouldnt stop the miner from actually connecting to the servers and mining, right?

[logicbomb666]

Here are the instructions:

This is to update bamt 0.5c to the latest cgminer and allow you to pull update directly from the git repository
bamt 0.5c will only work with AMD/ATI 5xxx and 6xxx cards
bamt 0.5c will not work with AMD/ATI 7xxx cards or nvidia ( seperate instructions for 7xxx cards are available by searching the forums)
burn a new usb with bamt 0.5c
boot into bamt
change password (instructions in bamt forum)
start gpumon

Code:

gpumon

Hit F for fixer to update
update to fix 19 - skip the rest
Hit q to exit gpumon

If it possible my BAMT is not working because I did not start with a fresh copy of bamt 0.5c?  I had already had my machine updated with all updates.  Would this cause an issue?

No.

"How" is it not working?
