XMOS - Light Weight Linux Base ETH Mining OS - Optimal for Nvidia GPU V2.0

[ustcstone]

keyboard work funny on this os,i can't type "." when i want to change the pool。 and when type "Y" i get "Z".....but it work fine when using putty to control。

Hi Zenfr,
Thank you for give me a change, hope every one like this OS.

For your question here the answer:-

1. For source code I will open up github soon.
2. No fee, totally free.
3. For Nvidia OC I am using Nvidia-Setting and Nvidia-smi.
They was a 3 type OC setting inside XMOS.
NV_OC="1"  Present Overclock setting. It will -100 to core and +500 to memory.
NV_OC="2"  same OC setting apply to all GPU install on the system.
NV_OC="3"  Each GPU having own OC Setting. Need to set OC setting 1 by 1 for each GPU

    You just need to put OC value on the conf files. That all.
    Ex for:-
    nvidia code: NV_CLOCK="-100"
    Your are set -100 to Nvidia Code. Same as MSI afterburner
    Nvidia memory: NV_MEM="1000"
    You are set +1000 to GPU memory. If you can get +500 stable on MSI afterburner, on Linux it was x 2 (1000).
    
Just to share current setting that I am using:-
This my mining ring running on biostar star TB250 Pro
Using 12 PCs MSI Nvidia 1050 TI card
Celeron processor
4GB memory
16GB USB Pendrive

NV_WATT="52.5"
NV_CLOCK="-180"
NV_MEM="1130"
NV_FAN="88"
    
Can download for try.

I can accept any  recommendations, and make the OS more user friendly.

Ok, thank you for the precisions.
Goods feature for nVidias OC :-).
Any idea about GTX 1070 hashrate @100 W (or others GTX, why not) ?

Edit : I've seen the hashrate in previous posts : GTX 1070 @ 88% (132 W) = 26,5 MHs...

That was some mistake on the config when plug in keyboard direct to the Mining Rings, Will fix it on next release.

Using putty to connect is simple and easy and save cost as well..

Happy Mining... ^_^

Hi ZenFr,
Try OC the memory to 4000MHz, most of the DDR 5 memory can stable at that speed.

I tested On Gigabytes G1 GTX 1070 GPU stable on this setting:-
Power limit:- 110 Watt
Core:- -180
Memory:- 1450 (4208MHz)  - Hynix Memory
30 MH/s

Maybe can give you some idea on it..

Great miner, nice to see something devfree and working good.
I have 1070 and 1080ti cards.
I have to test it.

[Bigf00t]

My test rig has an uptime of 21 hours now and it's very stable and fast. Because of the good average hashrate that I get on the pool, I decided that I don't change the Etminer version and wait until the next stable release is coming out.

So in the end the only thing that I have changed is the overclock sleep time.

For me it will work better when the 'xmosconf' is more like a batch file instead of just the basic settings. I saw I can change this in 'startmine.sh' but that's not easy to switch quickly because of the different pools and their commands.

For ETH and ETC on Ethermine it will work fine but there are also some more interesting Ethash coins like Ubiq (UBQ), Expanse (EXP), Musicoin (MUSIC) and Soilcoin (SOIL). But for now ETH and ETC will be the most important coins I think, so maybe in a future update?

Also there are still some English typos in the OS. But I think this is a good start of a new simple and light OS. I'd like to see some small improvements in the next version and I think I will switch more rigs to this OS. Keep up the good work!

I think 1080 TI is not a Good Card for Mining ETH use. Because of the DDR5x.

Until now still don't have good solution for it.. 1070 is Good..

Happy Mining.. ^_^

Hi jthor,

For AMD GPU that flash with custom bios it can run direct with XMOS, no need to flash back the Default Bios.

For Overclock site, all GPU is diffident, please use back your most stable Overclock Setting will do.

For MIX GPU issue, I am trying my best to make it work. Please wait for next release, I already got a idea how to make it work now.
Because XMOS is running multi instance of Ethminer, it can run cuda and opencl together.  

If you have time, can give me output for this command when running XMOS with AMD GPU and Nvidia togather.

~/ethereum-mining/ethminer/build/ethminer/ethminer -G --list-devices | grep "Ellesmere\|Vega\|Radeon\|Baffin\|Eclipse\|Nova\|Lexa\|Fiji\|Vesuvius\|Hawaii\|Tonga" | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d '[' | tr -d ']'

TQ very much.

Happy Mining. .. ^_^

Hi Dev,
Sorry, got problem with my pc, i can't boot into the os, will try again and give you the result later on.

Thanks & Regards.

Hi jthor,

try press:- Control + Alt + F1

can come to login screen.?

After login type command "ifconfig" , find out the ip address for the rings then connect using putty..

Finally, have to switch to another pc, there must be something wrong with mine.
But i got nothing on my ssh as per picture below, and will try again, could be my risers

The command is to detect any (OPENCL) AMD Mining GPU Install on system. If no result that mean don't have any AMD Mining GPU Detected..

for exp:-

If u have 4 GPU install:-
GPU 0 :- RX470
GPU 1 :- GTX 1070
GPU 2 :- GTX 1060
GPU 3 :- RX580

if you run the command, you should have a result ( Just to know the opencl GPU location. easy to configure when running mix card.) Next release will have this function. Can mix any GPU.

Today I wanted to convert another rig to this OS but SSH was not working.

I looked at my monitor and I saw this:
https://i.imgur.com/vT4fQTU.jpg?1

So it looks like with xterm it's possible to connect a monitor? I don't know why I can see this now, with the other image I don't have this screen. And SSH is not working so I will try it again with another USB stick. But the most ideal situation is to have this on the monitor and also have SSH. That will be a perfect combination.

Hi Bigf00t,

If you see that screen, it should be Network issue, check network connection, or you can connect a keyboard to the ring and type "ifconfig" see what ip address for the ring.

But on the picture i saw 192.168.1.100 is ypour ip address. try connect to that address using ssh.

If still can not please re-image the pen-drive.

Ok dev, these are mine:

but when i query from ethminer, this is the result

thank you.

Edited:
It's finally working, great job dev  
Accidentally i erased overclock section at the conf, that's why the speed is not good, i will make a new fresh image later.

Thanks.

Hi jthor,

Finally you make it work... 

For your information, mixing AMD and Nvidia GPU on current release still got some small issue.

I will come out a new release ASAP. I am testing it right now.

After stable i will release it..
I can get 30MH/s for my RX470 4GB Samsnung memory.  

Happy Mining ya....

[OverEasy]

@overcool  "I can get 30MH/s for my RX470 4GB Samsnung memory."

Is that with a modded bios or stock?

I have modded my bios and set timings,etc and I cannot even get that on my 470's

Hurry and get some WiFi support! I wanna try this

[ustcstone]

very nice work!!!
i tested it for two days,it's works fined when i set the right OC parameter。it's a little more sensitive than windows。if i overlock a litter bit too much(still less than windows) the rig wil autoreboot，but when it's stable,it works perfect. i get more hash and less rejected than windows,and the results came from pool。thanks!!!

bye the way:you need to edit startmine.sh and add -SP 1 manually if you want to mine on f2pool,right now there is no option in xmosconf.

[Ginooo]

nice work!!! thank you.

Looking forward to the next release

[gcvanasel]

Hi,

This seems great I am waiting for my 1070's to be delivered this week. Just one question do you have plans for dual mining on this OS?

Chris

[OverEasy]

Any luck getting some wifi support?

I might try again in a VM.

Hi ustcstone,

Thank for the info, i will add this advance options inside "xmosconf" on coming release..

I cant boot xma from my usb. I just get the error below and then a blank screen. I do have only one asus 1060 oc card on my pci slot.
Checked dhcp, however no new ip discovered from DHCP.
