[GB] USB ASIC miner - closed and completed

[macbain68]

So, ich habe mir jetzt die sourcen für den cgminer 3.1.1 gezogen und alles nochmals neu komiliert. Läuft bisher stabiler als die Version 3.2.0, die ich vorher am Laufen hatte. Jedenfalls gibt es keine ZOMBIEs mehr ;-) Die Anzahl der HW Errors dürfte von der wackeligen Stromversorgung herrühren. Daran wird sich erst was ändern, wenn ich mir endlich einen passenden aktiven USB Hub besorgt habe.

Wo kriegt man eigentlich die Sourcen für den bfgminer 3.0.99 her? Also die Version, die die USB ASIC miner überhaupt erkennt?

Und noch was: wo kann man denn die Temperatur der Miner abfragen? Steht das irgendwo in cgminer und ich habs nur übersehen oder braucht man dafür ein eigenes Tool?

HW with your new heat-sink?

Will let it run for a while, I suspect same HW/A but longer life...

Greetings, rupy.

Where did you bought the heatsink? I think the ASIC of the USB Gizmo is 6_mm x 6_mm, am I right?

[rupy]

@pankkake Unscrew, it falls off.
@ct1aic It's from http://www.elfaelectronics.com, the heatsink is 8x8mm.

Thanks, rupy. But why did you took off the original (lovely) heatsink? With the 2, wouldn't be better?

Active cooling both sides. HW errors down to 0.5%

[Coiner.de]

So no thermal paste or tape?

There is something between PCB and aluminium. Non sticky thermal pad probably.

[rupy]

HW/A is 0.8 again... we'll see after a couple of days. You can feel the air movement above the HS, I hope it's doing something atleast.

@rupy

is there another heatsink on the back?

[rupy]

Hm, no, but that's an idea; don't know how I would attach it though?!

[yxt]

re-mount the old one 

[alibert]

Active cooling both sides. HW errors down to 0.5%

Now back to 0.8% seems cooling and HW errors are not related.

thats what i am saying. Lifetime will be interesting

now I have this errors:

Code:

 Icarus (ttyUSB1) ERROR: Selftest error. Expected nonce 0xFFFFFEEA but got 0xB317598E.

Code:

 Icarus (ttyUSB1) ERROR: Too many errors, giving up 
2013.06.13 [17:42] Icarus (ttyUSB3): Not getting any results. Retuning timers. 
2013.06.13 [17:49] Icarus (ttyUSB3): Not getting any results. Retuning timers. 
2013.06.13 [17:49]  Icarus (ttyUSB3) ERROR: Selftest error. Expected nonce 0x00000112 but got 0x0171DF3B.

anyone know what to do?
TIA

re-plug ASIC and use powered USB-Port

re-plug ASIC and use powered USB-Port

I have done replugging a few times (and it is a powered USB HUB..)
(LEDs are green and on one item green LED is (was) blinking)
it has worked 3 days in this constellation without problems..

Tried re-installing the driver?

[nottm28]

This looks similar too...

I am on Linux (Ubuntu 12.04)...

Have you got a windows pc you can test the usb's on - just to prove they are working - will isolate the problem to the linux environment at least...
