Also. What software driver is needed to comm with the Klondike series.  Receiving 2 later today

Klondike is a direct USB device, so use Zadig for it.

So Lib USB is all I need on a BBB.  And -S kln:/path/to/Klondike ?

Normally I could figure it out but I'm sleep deprived, etc. the usual

Working perfectly with 5x U1 on Windows 7 x64

Makes such a welcome change to not have to piss about with unplugging all but 1 device before you can start cgminer!

[darcimer]

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.

Try 7-zip portable

or....

the full version at http://www.7-zip.org/

Thank you!

So if I set my pool, worker info and --disable-gpu -S all. This will detect all USB miners?

running 2NFY, 1BPM (pen modded), 2 KLN, 1 BES(more to be put back online)

[semzor]

can i find out what is the average difficulty (=>1) of shares that my miner finds for the time frame that bfgminer has run?

edit: well i guess it would be very close to 1 hehe

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.

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.

I stand corrected.

You want to use

Code:

-S NFY:all

For IceFury

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


view https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1/blob/master/manual/AntMiner-U1%20user%20guide.pdf
for a table of frequencies

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 -S NFY: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.

I'm no expert, but maybe you forgot  in the command line??   -S NFY:all

Hello,

im under Ubuntu,

using this :

Code:

git clone -b feature\/antminer-u1-support https://github.com/nwoolls/bfgminer.git bfgminer-npw
cd bfgminer-npw
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

and then

Code:

bfgminer -S antminer:all -S erupter:all

my 5 antminer are seen as BEE  and mining at BEE speed 

How can i fix this please?

Make sure you are running the version of bfgminer you just built:

Code:

./bfgminer -S antminer:all -S erupter:all

[stef942]

"no devices found" now...

I don't do Ubuntu but in Windows, I usually isolate each type of USB miners, i.e. run the BEs first in one instance and after they are engaged, plug in the Furies (or Ants in this case) and run another instance of the appropriate BFGMiner.  But then again, I don't know jack about Ubuntu.

Hi,

I am using this (https://www.dropbox.com/s/z29x4n6ng510joi/bfgminer-npw-antminer.7z) in Win7x64 with the parameter "--set-device antminer:freq=0981" It starts up ok, finds the antminer but reports that
"AMU 0: Applying rule antminer:freq=0981: Unknown option:freq" and then starts hashing at the standard speed. Why? Supposedly overclocking is working? Am I doing something wrong?

Full start parameter is "bfgminer.exe -S antminer:all -o pooladdress:port -u XXX -p XXX --set-device antminer:freq=0981"

[sikke]

Thank you for Antminer support and overcloking. Works nice for my work in progress miner box.. Might never ROI but it's fun to make. I plan to swap out all those old Erupters for Antminers total could be 130 miners. Also will swap those ATX power supplys for 5V 40A psu.

I bypassed the internal fuse for those 13slot USB hubs so they work nicely

52x Erupter
13x Antminer

Make sure you have the latest version of antminer.7z
I think there have been 3 now.

Mine says it was changed on Jan 12th 2014, 7:46PM. Thats the latest one, isn't it?

Using the parameters in the way you did yields the same result: "Unknown option:freq"

I'm in the same boat.  Unknown option:freq.

I've tried both Jan 9th 01:32:18 and Jan 12th  ‏‎01:45:59 bfgminer

With Jan 9th version, it does not give an error but running w/o OC.
With Jan 12th version, it gives the error.

I have win7 x64 using 2 X antminer.

Command line : C:\Bfgminer\bfgminer.exe -S antminer:all -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u User -p Pass --set-device antminer:freq=0981
