OFFICIAL CGMINER mining software thread for linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 4.11.1

[shawtux]

hmmm redownloaded both from kolivas and yours.

wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/3.1/cgminer-3.1.1.tar.bz2
tar -jxvf cgminer-3.1.1.tar.bz2

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ cd cgminer-3.1.1/
pi@raspberrypi ~/cgminer-3.1.1 $ CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall" ./configure --disable-opencl --disable-adl --enable-bflsc --enable-bitforce --enable-icarus --enable-avalon

make

still says 3.2.1


then
wget https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries/blob/master/RPi_32/cgminer-3.1.1a
mv cgminer cgminer.old
mv cgminer-3.1.1a cgminer
chmod +x cgminer

still says 3.2.1

[-Redacted-]

Try changing to that 3.1.1 directory and executing ./cgminer just to make sure you're picking up the local copy.  Since the wget command you gave to obtain the binary is wrong, I think your cgminer command ends up executing something else found elsewhere.  You can  execute the command which cgminer to find out where the cgminer command being run lives.  I'm betting you have a version 3.2.x installed to a directory somewhere in your search path.

The wget command you gave retrieves a 24k web-page, not a binary:

Code:

wget https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries/blob/master/RPi_32/cgminer-3.1.1a
...

To obtain the cgminer binary, use this path with "raw" in it rather than "blob".  Notice that the binary is 915k:

Code:

 rm cgminer.3.1.1*

thanks -Redacted-!! that "which" command did it.
there was an old installation (make install it seems) that was screwing things up.

deleted the bin in the usr folder and voila... 3.1.1 <3

I think you clicked on the wrong one ... the one in RPi_32 says 3.1.1 when I download it and run it (and did also when I put it there )
Or did you not run the one you downloaded?

The official source 3.1.1 also says 3 1 1 in configure.ac ... so you clicked on something wrong ... (or ran a different version to what you downloaded)

Zanatos666 ask report here,  

I have 2 GPU with different desktop platform.
Radeon HD6870 GV-R685OC-1GD
Radeon HD5770 GV-R577SO-1GD
Both GPU are GIGABYTE Super Overclock Series
Both GPU can't use for mining,

CGMinier give crash during starting application, same with poclbm. These GPU unsupported?

I wasn't attempting to "one-up" you Kano, just trying to help point the guy to the specific place where his problem lay and show him how I figured it out.  I hoped that the info in my post might help others, too, along the way.

I have used a 5770 with no issue.  And others are using 5770's and 6870's with no issues.  I would recommend reading the readme and pay special attention to the Q & A on the catalyst and SDK versions to verify that you have the correct versions for mining.

This is a helpful link, I think

I reformat and downgrade Catalyst and use AMD Stream. still no luck.

What versions of Catalyst and OpenCL SDK?
What coin are you trying to mine?
Can you capture the error's and post them?
Do the GPU's work with games or 3d rendering test's such as those with GPU Caps viewer?

[Anime4000]

both GPU, run OpenCL benchmark, no problem.

Latest test:

I read Diablo Readme for GPU vector size, and diablo return opencl worksize 256, and apply it here.
I try use other kernel, seem mining no respond at all, like null?

this one on Catalyst 13.4, OpenCL 1.2

Hello,

In CGminer 3.1.1, is the ASIC/FPGA automatically detected in linux? I compiled it with support for all FPGA's and ASIC's.

Um......I think your pool address is wrong.  eclipsemc has three severs, you denote each one by putting either "us1", "us2", or "us3" in the address. You only have "us"."

[-Redacted-]

A quick check shows that us. and us1. both resolve to the same IP =  67.14.164.114
His miner shows as being connected.  His share count shows 0 accepted and 14 HW errors.

Not sure what the -k is for, I GPU mine and never use it.  Alternate kernel?  How about we get the primary kernel working first?  The worksize seems large, too. I suggest that you drop everything off your command line except the -u and -p and see what happens.  

There is a possibility that you've generated a bad cgminer.conf file.  Delete it before you start again.  f you quit using 'Q' a summary should print out that might show you something useful, too.


You don't really need to blank out your user name, unless you're afraid that someone is going to mine using it and give you free Bitcoins

[Anime4000]

in faq: https://eclipsemc.com/faq.php what I see can use one address.

Other kernel, give crash. except diakgcn kernel.

I test on phoenix, the BFL_INT cause error.

this CGMiner can disable BFL_INT?

Update: Phoenix can run without BFL_INT, I getting piss off with Overclock version GPU's.

What about running stock, no changing the intensity, vectors, or worksize and not declaring a kernel and letting CGMiner decide the best kernel?  Just input your pool, user, and pass info and see if you can connect and mine.  If you cant do that, then I dont know if its something with CGMiner or not as you should be able to mine SOMETHING with just stock settings.

[Anime4000]

Well, I post, this simple crash error, GPU: GV-R577SO-1GD

Interesting.  Anyone else with a clue?

Oh, and change over to the stratum serves for eclipse, so change your port from 8337 to either 3333 or 443, 8337 was used for old school getwork I believe.

[Anime4000]

still crash, I had no idea, what I know, this likely kernel problem.

[-Redacted-]

Well, one thing you could try to narrow this down would be to give the Bitminter client a try - see if it finds and mines with both GPUs.

Hello,

As per the readme ... no.
Any Icarus device will require -S /dev/ttyUSBx ....
Icarus = Icarus, Lancelot, Asicminer USB, Cairnsmore1
The rest are auto.
