I may have found a bug... but no matter what pool i point this too the reported diff is 0. Is that the way it was suppose to be ?
It's like that for all Scrypt mining in BFGMiner AFAIK - something I need to talk to Luke about. I admire your work, N. I am looking for a dual mining solution with the PI and 5-chip Gridseeds. Any chance you and Luke will work in that direction?

I have bfgminer installed and working on raspbian (I used it some days ago with some antminer). Is it possible to simply add gridseed support?

is there an authoritative source somewhere to show exactly how to install this on ubuntu/pi for gridseed/lts mining?
^^^^^ That i am wondering as well.. for ubuntu, you can follow this guide (building from source) : http://minecoin.net/how-to-use-the-miner/

My 6 GS5's ran for 30+ hours this time before they stopped mining. After chasing up this problem and trying to solve it over the last few weeks, I've tried virtually everything short of re-programing the firmware on my miners, which I cannot do - obviously. Darn it!!!! Right after I went to sleep, it takes a piss! AAarrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh! I wonder if GridSeed engineers left this but in their miners' firmware? Has anyone been running their GridSeed Farm 24/7 stably WITHOUT ANY INTERVENTION WHATSOEVER? IF so, please tell me what your configuration is so WE can all set these things and not have to worry about this elusive little bug!!!? Has anyone come up with a macro to take care of detecting the hault then restarting each miner in cpuminer? All I need is for it to monitor the window of each miner and when it stops producing yay's for say, 3 or so minutes, it stops the program without closing the window, resets the port, then restarts each miner 5 seconds apart. Thanks Wolfey2014

EDIT: just saa it is implemented only in v2.8.1... Official support for 1-chip and 5-chip GridSeed ASICs (requires BFGMiner 4.0)

^^^^^ That i am wondering as well.. for ubuntu, you can follow this guide (building from source) : http://minecoin.net/how-to-use-the-miner/Ok, so first things first, disclaimer, I'm not a Linux guy, so please forgive me if I'm making a dumb mistake here. I've also never used bgfminer so I've got that working against me as well. Here's what I did to try and build bfgminer on my RasPi to try and run my 5-chip Gridseed miners. Only problem is that when I start it, bfgminer says no devices found. Clearly I've screwed the pooch somewhere. Any help is appreciated. ------------------------------------------------ Steps I took to build BFGMiner from source: ------------------------------------------------ //update my RasPi first //saw this on the linux build instructions, so I presume I need these as pre-requisites to compiling bfgminer sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl4-gnutls-dev sudo apt-get install libjansson-dev uthash-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libevent-dev
//cloned nwoolls version of bfgminer which has beta support for the miners in question git clone https://github.com/nwoolls/bfgminer.git
//build it cd bfgminer ./autogen.sh //Found the flags option in a different set of build instructions but presumed we needed it here as well ./configure CFLAGS="-O3" --enable-scrypt --enable-gridseed make sudo make install sudo ldconfig
//trying to run it sudo ./bfgminer -S gridseed:all --set-device gridseed:clock=850 --failover-only --scrypt -c bfgminer.conf
Here's what my bfgminer.conf looks like for reference: { "pools" : [ { "name" : "GHashIO-1", "url" : "stratum+tcp://ltc.ghash.io:3333", "user" : "worldly.2", "pass" : "x", "pool-priority" : "0" } ], "api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1,192.168.1/24", "api-listen" : true }

After it finished this step: ./configure CFLAGS="-O3" --enable-scrypt --enable-gridseed In the output, did you see "gridseed" listed in the options enabled or in the list of drivers?

Thanks sandor111 and worldly I got bfgminer working with both dualminer and gridseed but seems like it is more stable for gridseed than dualminer.

One issue I found in the gridseed-support branch of bfgminer is that when bfgminer starts, it never finds all of the devices. If I have 20 of the gridseed 5-chip devices plugged in, it will only show 8-10 randomly. I then have to go into Manage Devices of bfgminer, add devices, and then enter "all". This will eventually find the remaining devices and begin hashing.
This is obviously an issue because if the computer restarts, and bfgminer starts back up on boot, i'm afraid all of the devices will not be hashing.
Has anyone experienced this issue?
Thanks.

Have you tried using MultiMiner with BFG? It is much quicker on finding the devices if they did not initially show up. One issue I found in the gridseed-support branch of bfgminer is that when bfgminer starts, it never finds all of the devices. If I have 20 of the gridseed 5-chip devices plugged in, it will only show 8-10 randomly. I then have to go into Manage Devices of bfgminer, add devices, and then enter "all". This will eventually find the remaining devices and begin hashing.
