OLD: BFGMiner 3.10.0: modular ASIC+FPGA, GBT+Strtm, RPC, Mac/Lnx/W64, AntU1, DRB

[twib2]

Thanks, that's what I would have thought, but it still didn't show with the "--help" switch.  *shrug*

Sorry that's my bad. It doesn't show in --help or ./configure unfortunately. If you see the .o file compiled though you are good to go.

I had thought as much, and I did get the driver-antminer.o file made, BUT no joy on bfgminer recognizing my ants, using "-S antminer:all" or manually looking with M+ antminer:all during operation when it's telling me no devices found.  As far as I can tell, no errors during the compile.  I even tried with a fresh git clone and antminer feature, and of course did the autogen, configure, make steps.  I do use "strip" - could that be the problem (never has before, but you never know...)?

Bump since I think this was missed at the bottom of the page - nwoolls, anyone?

I just can't get it to recognize the ANTs even with all the above and with no compiler errors, with the *.rules set up, and even running as root.

BFGMiner : https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer
Where should I work to modify the sha256_nonce find code for CPU-64bit or GPU ?

I know that CPU and GPU mining is looked as: overcome by FPGA and Asics, but I want to
do that; in spite of all the odds.

I want to write my code for CPU-64bit or GPU mining, but I see that,
"sha256" and "nonce" are in all the following files below.
They are quite a lot. Probably there are files, with code for
different architectures.

Can someone suggest me the files that I have to work in ?

Thankyou anyway

------These files have "sha2" as text inside-------------
/driver-cpu.h
/sha2.c
/sha2.h
/libblkmaker/base58.c
/libblkmaker/private.h
/x86_32/Makefile.am
/x86_32/Makefile.in
/x86_32/sha256_xmm.asm
/x86_64/Makefile.am
/x86_64/Makefile.in
/x86_64/sha256_xmm_amd64.asm

-----These files have both "sha2" and "nonce" as text inside----------
/api.c
/diablo130302.cl

/driver-cpu.c

/findnonce.c
/Makefile.am
/Makefile.in
/miner.c
/miner.h
/scrypt130511.cl
/scrypt.c
/sha256_4way.c

/sha256_cryptopp.c
/sha256_generic.c
/sha256_sse2_amd64.c
/sha256_sse2_i386.c
/sha256_sse4_amd64.c

/util.c
/libblkmaker/blkmaker.c
/libblkmaker/blkmaker.h
/libblkmaker/example.c
/x86_64/sha256_sse4_amd64.asm

--------------------------------------------

I gave a quick look inside these files, and
I think I can take out from the list the following:

/sha256_altivec_4way.c
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltiVec

/sha256_via.c
http://www.via.com.tw/en/initiatives...at_and_how.jsp

/driver-bitforce.c
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

/driver-ztex.c
http://www.ztex.de

Can someone help me a bit more ?

Thankyou in advance

I get segmentation fault when trying to launch that bfgminer - I am on an Ubuntu x86 latest version, I've compiled hidapi myself since there wasn't any in the repositories...

Try running bfgminer under sudo permissions.

That seg faults as well, but now the prompts are no longer on separate lines (when pressing enter).

AHA!
I just renamed my bfgminer.conf and now it starts up!

Hello with https://www.dropbox.com/s/z29x4n6ng510joi/bfgminer-npw-antminer.7z, and
bfgminer -S antminer:all -S erupter:all, it goes with my erupter an antminer but my nanofurys no more go why?

 with bfgminer3.9 and only -S erupter:all i see my nanofury and my erupters.

without zadig.

how my nanofury, erupters and antminers go on windows???


setup :

1* dlink 10 port usb hub  -> 2 erupters and 2 nanofurys   3.5A power
1* delock 7 port hub -> 3 antminer 3.5A power
and individual an two differnt usb ports on my pc
so i have enough power i think.

Could someone please explain to me how to use the binaries?  I downloaded them, but I have no idea what to do with them now that I have them.  I am trying to run some U1's on an anker 9 port hub, and all I am getting is icarus..
Thanks!

you need to use -S antminer:all in the command line

optionally if you wish to OC them a tad add --set-device antminer:freq=0981

this will set the clock to 250 MHz and produce ~2.0Gh/sec

I think you are a couple steps ahead of me.  The binaries are in a .7z file, and I can't open it.  I think once I can run it, I will be able to enter the right commands.  I'm using XP.

Is the overclock limited to 2 GH/s?

I didn't found my last post of my request. So may I ask again for a little Chilly extension:

Can we have a ZlX (with lowercase) extension or an us of ZcX instead ZGX in the "M" menu to see also all the ASIC temperatures at runtime?. Generally the Identify command is not working. Maybe it can be used more for detailed informations:

Select processor to manage using up/down arrow keys
BFL 1 : 29.0C | OFF  /27.72/26.45Gh/s | A: 1069 R: 9+ 0(.83%) HW: 21574/3.8%
  BitFORCE SHA256 SC from MrTeal and ChipGeek
Serial: FTWZA0ON
Kernel: bulk queue
Temperatures: 29.0C 27.0C
Voltages: 3.290 / 1.161 / 12.187

[E]nable dentify [F]an control
[Slash] Find processor  [Plus] Add device(s)  [Enter] Close device manager

Here generally I want to get all the temperatures from ZlX command also in the Devices menu (M):
PROCESSOR 0: 36.25 C
PROCESSOR 1: 31.00 C
PROCESSOR 2: 38.00 C
PROCESSOR 3: 33.25 C
PROCESSOR 4: 35.00 C
PROCESSOR 5: 33.75 C
PROCESSOR 6: 34.00 C
PROCESSOR 7: 31.75 C

Or use ZcX instead of ZCX to add temperatures to the Chip lines for less precision for a first implementation

Just picked up a Bitburner Fury - how is bfg's support for these things?

ok step by step
1. i Downloadet https://www.dropbox.com/s/z29x4n6ng510joi/bfgminer-npw-antminer.7z,
2. extrakt
3. copy zlib1 (32bit) to extrakt folder
4. put Logindata in conf file
5. start with cmd file with this line: "bfgminer -S antminer:all -S erupter:all"
6. bfgminer only found the 3 antminer and the 2 erupter, but my nanofurys not there and not found with Managment Devices.

WHY? because when i downloadet bfgminer 3.8 or 3.9 and start with "bfgminer -S all" or "bfgminer -S erupter:all" then my 2 nanofurys are in bfgminer and the 2 erupter too.
why not with this npw-antminer edition? is there compiled without nanofurys? but other post´s i read in this topic it goes at there

why i dont compile it myself? because i have probs with compiler in ./configure part
my compiler dont found "autoreconf" and i dont found solution atm.

Someone correct me if I am wrong since I don't own a fury, but I think all you have to do is also add this to the command line

Code:

-S bigpic:all

and it will probe for the furys.

Not sure why you assume that.
Bitburner still hasn't provided and docs, sample units, code, or even communicated.

I assumed it did because most devs are fothcoming with stuff like that.  Or they worked similarly to some other device, I don't know.  That's kind of why I asked.

Fair enough, looks like cgminer it is then.

Edit:  From cgminer's readme file:

Code:

All current BitBurner devices (BitBurner X, BitBurner XX and BitBurner Fury)
emulate Avalon devices, whether or not they use Avalon chips.

So, is there a chance bfg will work?  I guess I'll just have to try it when the boards arrive.

[HellDiverUK]

Still having issues getting the Nanofurys to work on nwooll's version of bfg.  Running it on Debian, hidapi is installed correctly as far as I can tell (no warning or errors when setting up bfg).

Any ideas?

I believe they emulate Avalon units with the mcu. So -S Ava:/path/to/bitburner may work

I might try adjusting the --Avalon-options to follow the bit burner formula.

And looking at cg's driver, btb is a sub driver

[HellDiverUK]

Yeah, reading on down the ASIC.README I saw that.  I'll update when I try.

The bigpic driver is for Red Fury / Blue Fury - the BF1 devices. The nanofury driver is for Ice Fury and other NanoFury (NF1) based devices.
