is modminerquadstore.com legit ?

Try this JonSnow:

Do a clean install of Ubuntu

make a file called install-bfgminer.sh in /usr/local/bin like so:

Code:

nano /usr/local/bin/install-bfgminer.sh

Then copy and paste this into it:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# update & upgrade #
sudo apt-get update;
sudo apt-get upgrade -y;

################user mod change YourUsername to the user you'll run the miner with
usermod -G dialout -a YourUsername;

# Install dependencies
apt-get install build-essential libcurl4-gnutls-dev libncurses5-dev -y;
apt-get install automake autoconf libtool wget -y;

# get jansson
cd ~;
wget http://www.digip.org/jansson/releases/jansson-2.4.tar.gz;
tar zxvf jansson-2.4.tar.gz;
cd jansson-2.4;
./configure;
make;
make install;
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libjansson* /usr/lib/;
ldconfig;

# get bfgminer
cd ~;
wget http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bfgminer/3.0.2/bfgminer-3.0.2.tbz2;
tar xjvpf bfgminer-3.0.2.tbz2;
cd bfgminer-3.0.2;
./configure --enable-modminer;
make;
make install;

Where it says "YourUsername" near the top change that to your username and then run:

Code:

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/install-bfgminer.sh

And finally:

Code:

install-bfgminer.sh

That should get you up and running on Ubuntu, haven't tried it on any other systems.

You just need to run bfgminer then with the usual pool and other settings.

Thank you!  I will try that here right now and let you know if I make any further progress! 

[th3joker]

I didn't check if you use nano, apologies for that. Just in case you don't its CTRL-X to quit then press enter to save.

[th3joker]

How did you get on?

[JonSnow]

How did you get on?

Still no luck.    It just immediately gives me an error and doesn't seem to detect the MMQ no matter what.

K, you're firmware is borked.

Code:

sudo apt-get install mtools -y

wget modminerquadstore.com/files/firmware/modminer092612-TLM.bin

From modminer instructions:

Orient the board so these are facing you
You will need two pieces of copper wire or something similar.
Take one piece of copper wire and connect the first two contact points next to RESET and HOLD IT THERE the LED on the backplane should dim
While holding that piece take the other piece of copper wire and connect the first two contact points next to ISP and HOLD IT THERE the LED on the backplane should still be dim, if it gets bright - try it again
Release first the left wire RESET and then the right wire - ISP if you did this correctly the light will still be dim
Unplug USB and plug it back in, the board will now show up as a mass storage device (note it may take a minute to show up!)

Use mtools to replace the firmware now:

Code:

mcopy -i /dev/disk/by-id/usb-NXP_LPC134X_IFLASH_ISP000000000-0:0 modminer092612-TLM.bin ::/firmware.bin

Ensure the data is flushed to the USB: sync
Unplug USB, hit the Reset button, and plug USB back in

Try running bfgminer again

[JonSnow]

It's showing up after the RESET as "CRP DISABLD" ...

[th3joker]

That means its ready for the new firmware which is good.

What was the output from:

Code:

wget modminerquadstore.com/files/firmware/modminer092612-TLM.bin

And then:

Code:

mcopy -i /dev/disk/by-id/usb-NXP_LPC134X_IFLASH_ISP000000000-0:0 modminer092612-TLM.bin ::/firmware.bin

[JonSnow]

the output was:

Code:

Long file name "firmware.bin" already exists.

overwrite :-)

[JonSnow]

overwrite :-)

that's what i chose and then it doesn't do anything else ... just returns me to the command prompt.

[th3joker]

did you unplug the usb and reset the modminer then reconnect it again?

[JonSnow]

This is so frustrating!  Yes, I did that and tried running bfgminer only to get the usual: All devices disabled, cannot mine!

[th3joker]

have you tried cgminer as well?

[th3joker]

does it see the modminers at all

[JonSnow]

does it see the modminers at all

what would be the best command to issue to determine that?

[th3joker]

try this:

Code:

apt-get install libudev-dev libusb-dev -y

then run it again, mine gives that error when I've switched from bfgminer to cgminer or vice versa so I have to reboot.

if that's no good we'll try a cgminer build

[th3joker]

yup sorry libudev-dev I corrected it above too

[JonSnow]

try this:

Code:

apt-get install libdev-dev libusb-dev -y

then run it again, mine gives that error when I've switched from bfgminer to cgminer or vice versa so I have to reboot.

if that's no good we'll try a cgminer build

Didn't work.  Those dependencies were already installed.  Still getting the "All devices disabled, cannot mine!" error.

[th3joker]

cgminer build:

Code:

apt-get install git automake -y
git clone git://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.git
cd cgminer
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-modminer
make

Then run cgminer -o pool etc
