i will get an anker one of these days i have order it from amazon and i am waiting it. But if there is problem general with usb hubs in linux and with bfgminer i think will be a problem and with anker. The strange is that bfgminer have problem only in linux and not in windows i dont know why. I forgot to mention that my linux distro is ubuntu 13.10, I want to get it work because i like to make a rig with my atom laptop that runs lubuntu 13.10. Also there i have the same problem with bfgminer and hub

The Anker hubs are as picky as any other. Mine doesn't work with one of the three PCs here - doesn't work at all on the AMD machine, and just about works on the NUC. Works OK on the main PC.

yes. the spec on the hub is only part of the story, also the supplied power supply can be suspect.(even new ones) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=253749.msg2700634#msg2700634there are lots of hub comments on this thread

The Anker's become much less tempermental when using these power supplies. To bring this back to the topic of the thread.... This allows me to run Block Erupter, Red Fury, and Bi*Fury USB's plus a USB Fan on the same instance of BFGMiner without issues.

Hi Luke-Jr
Do you have any information yet, regarding the AntMiner u1 from BitMain?
They will be starting to ship in bulk, in the next few days.

Hi Luke-Jr
Do you have any information yet, regarding the AntMiner u1 from BitMain?
They will be starting to ship in bulk, in the next few days.
I have a sample unit and some cgminer-specific code. I believe I have some documentation too, but not sure if it applies to these units or is up to date. There is a bitmain-asic.ko in the bundled OpenWrt firmware, which I do not see code for. Lately, I have been moving to my new house. Not 100% done yet, but I need to be able to claim it as my primary residence before 2014, so that is my top priority for now. That being said, I plan to spend time looking more into writing a BFGMiner driver for AntMiner in the next 48 hours. If I need to reverse engineer the protocol from cgminer code, it will probably take longer than that to have it working. If anyone wants to help me get this going faster, a PM with the most recent specs (if they exist) and/or bitmain-asic.ko source would be helpful.

House moving and new year, at the same time as writing code? I think you deserve some time off. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

I have been using Cgminer for almost a year now. However if bfgminer is compatable with antminer u1 and technobit hex boards I will convert now. I have pre order for both of those and its become a pain to get everything running on diffrent hosts.

can anyone help me with my install of bfgminer on ubuntu? i can do it through apt-get but that only gets me 3.8.0 and i need 3.9.0 to use the new code fixes for bit fury. so i have done the following... cd ~ mkdir bin cd bin sudo git clone https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer ~/bin/bfgminer cd bfgminer
sudo ./autogen.sh
which runs but comes up with the following error ./autogen.sh: 20: ./autogen.sh: autoreconf: not found
which i take to mean its looking for an autoconf file, which isn't there. does it need to be? the next step is (from reading the help on github) sudo ./configure.ac --enable-bitfury
but this step also fails, 'command not found'. anyone else going through this and know what the fix is? and i know the obvious answer is to use the repos, but they aren't updated. thanks,

ok , fixed my own issue by surprise, googling the error message. needed to install autoconf uthash-dev and lib tool packages. then used ./autogen.sh && ./configure --enable-bitfury make
bfgminer is streaming output rather than holding it in a block of text, but i think this might be bacuase i've ssh'd onto the ubuntu box. not sure why it won't show the desktop after login, need to fix that next. however this is worrying, is it not? BIF0 39.4C | 5s: 0.00 avg: 0.00 u:361.7 Mh/s | A:32 R:3+0(8.6%) HW:352/ 91%
looks to me like a busted chip... anyone agree or disagree?

SSH has nothing to do with that. I ssh in to multiple different machines and never seen this (Ubuntu, OpenWRT, Arch).

id noticed that in the output, but it was working fine until 3.9.0
that said, this box has now had so many installs and uninstalls of the bfg and cg miners any one of them could have removed it.
whats the actual package name? edit: libncurses5-dev
