May I ask why you don't use the normal cgminer binary with the -G flag ?
Because if you use standard CGMiner.exe and your only ASIC mining it will require OpenCL SDK/Runtime to be installed to run.  If you use CGMiner-nogpu.exe then you don't need any AMD software at all.
Sam

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

Different drivers need to be installed with zadig between 3.1.1 and 3.3.4.  What works in 3.1.1 will not work with 3.3.4.
3.3.4 being the much simpler route if your setting up a new system.

If your already committed to the serial drivers then that may not be the case.

The Hub works perfectly fine on the PC, It spits out errors even with one BE is connected to the Hub. I'm thinking it's some kinda software issue as I don't have a normal Arch install.

BE draws way more power then most other devices. As I am sure you have read it is far over spec for usb1 and usb2. It might be in spec for usb3. People get around the power issue by wiring the hub in question to a higher current source like a computer PS. Then you just have to worry about the Vias on the board carrying the current without failing.

Good luck.

Unofficial Mac binaries updated to 3.3.4 at http://spaceman.ca/cgminer.

This directly relates to the whole libusb monologue I've been having in here over the last month
That specifically means your libusb on your mac is bugged - the timeout option when doing I/O isn't working
The README says how to build with a working libusb and it works on Linux and Windows - no idea about a Mac ...
Tell whoever Karin is to read the README ...

Karin, read the README  Tongue

The occasional timeout like this is okay, it's a kind of USB communication error.

Rgr that - it appears lowering my diff on btcguild 2 from 4 made them go away and also report a faster MH back to the dashboard... (have 31 BEs connected.. ) 

Appreciate the reply!

I don't think power is the issue, Like I said it works fine when plugged into the OTG cable alone. When I just plug just ONE BE into the Hub it spits out the errors till after a while a the BE's LED starts glowing green. I think it's a software (I'm running Linux on a tablet which is kinda iffy) or the hub acting weird. I'm gunna try running debug mode and figuring it out before tonight. I mostly want this setup so I can mine at night to save on power costs.

Could be overheating. Try a simple fan over them for a while as a straight forward test.

Nope, I always run a fan on them. I've got one of the 92mm Antec USB ones and a Desktop fan for a backup. Like I said, it runs perfectly fine without the HUB. Gunna go work on debugging now.

When I compile on Linux or windows I have 0 AMD software installed. It isn't required at all. You can run without having OpenCL. I do it frequently both pre and post the no GPU versions. Just use the switch for no gpu mining. I have run the official binaries built with support but it didn't matter except I could use it.

I've a basic question about the impact of hw-errors inside cgminer and on the over-all mining result at a pool.

I'm just doing different firmware optimizations inside the current BFL firmware for my ASIC singles and want to make sure that my understanding of the hw-error counter inside cgminer is really correct.

Let's say I'm getting an average hashrate of 100GH with 0% hw-errors showing up inside cgminer and nothing else is going wrong (retries, network problems etc.). In this case I would assume that I've also have an average hashrate of 100GH at the pool, right?

Now let's say cgminer is showing me 1% hw-errors. My basic understanding of software like cgminer is, that it's checking the mining result of the mining device and if the result is wrong, this result will not be forwarded to the pool and the hw-error counter is going up. Is my assumption correct, that in this case the average hashrate at the pool will be 99GH? Or is there anything else (relevant overhead, etc.) caused by hw-errors which has to be kept in mind when thinking about the over-all mining result at a pool?

It sounds like your implying that the pools estimate of your hash rate is correct??  If so it is not!

The pool has no idea what your hash rate is.  It's just an estimate.

With most pools you can change the time period which the hash rate is estimated for which will influence how fast and how accurate your estimate will be.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

No, I don't imply this. I know about the pool hashrate estimation based on shares during a specified time period.

My questions are regarding the impact of the hw-error counter.

I've been away for a while and decided to give 3.3 another shot since kano et al are singing its praises everywhere.

3.3.4 using libusb-1.0.16-rc10 compiled from sourceforge still shuts down half of my 4x AM USB eruptors when running on Debian amd64 with USB disconnects. If there's some sort of logs you would like let me to post, let me know what you would like to see, but compiling a newer libusb absolutely *does not* solve the problem.

Back to 3.1.1 where everything works fine.

I seem to be having a similar problem on Win7x64 with WinUSB (via Zadig).  I have 10 BEs, and every couple of hours, at least one will stop working with an error like this:

Code:
AMU0: Comms error (werr=-7 amt=0)

I tried using different hubs and tried using no more than 4 BEs in each 7-port HUB, in case it was a power issue, but nothing helps.

I have not tried using 3.1.1 yet, but I guess that is my next step.  This is very frustrating.

[Edit: I should add that if CGMiner is restarted, it will not pick up the BE that apparently failed.  It will seem to be OK, in that Windows says it is OK, and working, but the LED will stay on steady, and I have to manually unplug and replug it to get it to be seen by CGMINER.]
