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

Again no effect Whats wrong? I tried with just ./configure and with OpenCL disabled, with icarus enabled. No effect

You shouldnt have to enable icarus, its enabled by default.  When you compile, did you scroll up and check that it shows icarus as enabled?

Maybe there is a "sync" thats missing somewhere, like after you do "make".  I dont know, sometimes I have success without sync and sometimes I dont.

type this "./bfgminer -n -D -T"
show us the output.
if it does not find anything type this ./bfgminer -o http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332 -u XXXXXX -p XXXXXX -D -T
show us the output.

also if you have it type this lsusb
show us the output.

Why is the download site down?

This suggests you don't have the cp210x driver (part of Linux).

It should say:

Hi Luke,

Thanks for your help on this. I managed to re compile the kernel with the cp210x module enabled and it's now working.

I just don't know how to ensure that the bfgminer process won't be terminated when I logout my ssh session. I tried backgrounding the process which does background it, but still gets killed upon logout.

What does everyone else do?

sudo screen bash
launch cgminer
CTL-A d to disconnect
screen -r  to reconnect next time you log in

To do what you're attempting to do, you would need to run:

nohup <your_command_here> &

waht is the json format for using the --scan-serial flag in a config file

would like to do -S OpenCL:noauto -S erupter:/dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART<#>

My BFL Little Single has been mining nicely on my laptop using BFGminer, but I can't get it to run on my spare PC running Windows XP (bfgminer 32-bit).  The port picks up fine, but when I run BFGminer, I get the "No device... bla bla bla... cannot mine" message.  I have triple check port names and everything else.  I find that if I replug the USB port and run bfgminer, it will freeze the first time and report the message each time after.  Any suggestions?

Check the USB device driver.   Should be Silicon Labs CP210x to UART bridge.  What's the COM port number in "devices and printers" - that will show you the device driver, too.

As he said - no - it's a console type utility that works great with SSH.  And I would think it's already installed in Debian.  If not, I guess
that something like "sudo apt-get install screen" would be all you would need to do if it's not already there.

I had BFGminer running my Erupters on my Ubuntu machine and I just switched to an OpenSuse machine and it's not working...

lsusb list all the erupters.

Any ideas?

Also I'm installing Bitcoin-Qt on the new machine now (takes a while) and the Ubuntu machine had it already. Is that necessary for it to run?

btw it opens BFGminer and tries to use the cpu's

I've tried all the variations of "./bfgminer -o http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332 -u XXXXXX -p XXXXXX -S All" ie. -S erupter:all and the timing settings and no go.

[pluMmet]

Okay I can see that the opensuse package download system d/l'd the 3.0 version and I had the 3.1.4 on Ubuntu..

I'm still new to Linux in Windows I would uninstall old version but Linux does not seem to go that way.

Do I just Manually install 3.1.4?

[pluMmet]

Okay I was able to test 3.1.4 out of the folder directly and it still just uses the cpu's

I tried all the -S arguments I could find and none of them worked....

Help

I always run BFGMiner in a GNU Screen session.
BASH also lets you disown background programs.

waht is the json format for using the --scan-serial flag in a config file

would like to do -S OpenCL:noauto -S erupter:/dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART<#>

JSON array.

Code:

"scan-serial":["opencl:noauto", "erupter:/dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART<#>"]

Ok, great thanks to you both. I have never used that before.
It's not debian, but that shouldn't cause problems.

Raspian is just a Debian Wheezy port that uses hardware floating point instead of software floating point.  Don't know what you do if you're using Arch - some crazy pacman command with a dozen flags probably...
