Thanks for the clear tutorial for RPi - would have saved me a lot of time if I knew about it before! I will check out Arch but I've actually been using stock Raspian with my CM1s and have no problems at all.
Unfortunately though due to this "unless you give us free hardware" policy I can no longer use cgminer with my CM1s so have had to switch camps to the BFGminer which remains open and cooperative with any hardware manufacturer. I understand that you want to test hardware directly but many people have offered to debug, provide you whatever info you need, and even provide remote access to systems with miners - yet it seems you actually just want free hardware
If that's your commercial model, then I get it - just wish I knew upfront before buying into cgminer.
CGMiner used to work like a dream, then they rewrote the USB stack and broke it (but is much more efficient for those it works for) - and now won't fix it because nobody gave kano a free CM1. Cautionary tale - other miners are available ;-)
Damn, I didn't block you from reading that blog post of mine and force you to give me BTC ... what was I thinking??!?!?!??!
No, I want the hardware to support it.
I don't need the hardware to line my wallet.
Next week I'll have 130GH/s of hardware.
This week I have 70GH/s of hardware.
ckolivas has over 200GH/s of hardware.
You really think I'm gonna make a fortune off a what? less than 5GH/s device?
I certainly have no doubt we wouldn't be sent a reasonable amount of hardware to cover our time supporting and working on it, so I'd think at best it what we'd get would probably be a single board with 10 chips ... ... ... if anything at all ...
Feel free to support it yourself, just know that if you come asking for support for hardware we don't have, you know what to expect.
I'm really not sure why you think that statement is an issue at all.
Yet you are saying we should help you for free ... coz that is really all your post says in big, bold, blinking lights.
Did you ever donate to me for that cairnsmore1 code I wrote most of that you've been using?
No.
Have I stopped you from using it?
No.
Do I expect otherwise from you?
Now - No.
Yes you'll have to hide your name if you ever ask for support.
I imagine Avalon should be a good example for how well that works.
From January to June their support was ... ?
In June when ckolivas (had to pay 50BTC) got an Avalon, they are now mining at over 80GH/s instead of the older closer to 70GH/s they've been doing since Jan - though Avalon knew they could do that.
As for the CM1's, I wrote the first proper support for the CM1s in cgminer without any support from you or CM1.
The only code change Yohan ever did for cgminer was to change the baud rate from 115200 to 57600, as was required originally for the first CM1s, and he didn't release the source until I stated he must.
To support the 0x8350 CM1s in the current cgminer will require hardware coz it is no longer a simple brain dead serial device - it is an 8 end point (4 pair) device that even I haven't written any support for such devices yet in my usbutils library coz I've never had a device with that chip in it. It will require a design change in my usbutils library. Not a big deal, but there's no way in hell I'm gonna do that without having the hardware.
Though I have already put in the basic information required for a CM1 in the code ... months ago ... just not the extra required to do it fully.
Oh and as for original avalon ... yep I've broken the avalon code twice so far (ckolivas fixed it) coz I don't have one (and I don't want one made by that company)
Of course ckolivas tests on his ... but ... well ... it's not something I can test every time I've editing code coz I don't have the hardware.
Let me clarify all this specifically to you: "Fuck off"
P.S. yes anyone else reading this and finds my reply unexpected - this is what I'm like - and this is nothing new from me on this forum
Oh well
