Any way to troubleshoot this hardware errors?
I think is too much for only 2 hours.
I am using 2 R-BOX connected to the USB ports on the laptop with Bitcoin-0.9.2.1 and cgminer-4.4.1
Code:
[2014-07-16 19:37:58] Work Utility (diff1 shares solved / min): 909.83/min

 [2014-07-16 19:37:58] LIN0 (5s):38.14G (avg):32.55Gh/s | A:0 R:0 HW:822 WU:454.8/m
 [2014-07-16 19:37:58] LIN1 (5s):34.35G (avg):32.59Gh/s | A:0 R:0 HW:28 WU:455.4/m

Looks okay to me. 2 hours at 909 shares per min is ~110k shares and you have ~900 errors total.

Thank you ckolivas, I though something was wrong with the hardware.

When is considered the hardware errors rate too much ?

It's very much dependent on the hardware. Some stuff by design has 10% errors in a harmless way (any bitfury). Most hardware designs are under 2% which is fine.

New release: Version 4.4.2, 17th July 2014

A stable/bugfix/driver update release for accumulated issues while I was away.


Human readable changelog:

- Fixed an issue where some types of file configuration parameters (like hfa-fan) would be lost when write config was chosen from the menu.
- Fixed a crash that could occur on trying to connect to a stratum server.
- Fixed write config file crashing when bitfury was compiled in.
- Fixed the "Failed to sem_timedwait" issue seen by some people.
- Fixed failover not working if one of the initial pools never responded.

- Minion driver updates.
- Avalon2 driver updates.
- Fixed broken S1 compilation.

Full changelog:

- Fix processarg parameters loaded from a config file not being saveable

- minion - undeclared fix
- minion - chip power cycle option
- minion - record 0xff error history and reduce screen output
- minion - reset on result or fifo 0xff
- minion - clarify the 0 value of spireset
- minion - make SPI reset more configurable
- minion - make the SPI reset ms sleep a parameter and API settable
- sp10 sensors
- sp30
- minion - led+more api setting
- Avoid blocking all pool testing if one pool fails to ever init
- There is no point storing the hints addrinfo in struct pool
- minion - 'reset' SPI when getting errors
- initialise more pool values in benchmark
- minion - auto adjust freq
- merge upstream frequency changes
- icarus - timing history in its own function
- rbox - add lotsa stats, tidy up a bit more
- Fix an off-by-one.
- icarus - detect stat should be LOG_DEBUG
- icarus - tidy up rbox code, remove statics, and add rocketbox
- minion - do an early reset to clear the chip status
- minion - use descriptive names for the list types
- Avalon2: automatic adjust fan speed, using crc16 on job_id compare, turn on
the led by API, detect twice when start, remember the last stratum message
increase the hashrate, add cutoff option
- fix AntS1 breakages from AntS2 changes
- minion - disable dup nonce check
- minion - add an ioseq number for each ioctl to simplify work ordering
- minion - redo old work expiry based on txrx order
- minion - more work stats, minimise queued work, free flushed queued work
- minion - allow resetting a chip via the API
- minion - correct 'WQue Count' in stats
- minion - delay after reset, reset history also, add dups to api stats

Hello Con,

pthread_tryjoin_np was working great for last two days or so. Cgminer starts up for a sec or two:)

However you are removing it due to:
---------------------
Remove the use of the pthread_tryjoin_np which is currently unimplemented on many platforms
---------------------

If you can make it #ifdef where this is implemented will be great.

PS: i have not tested two latest commits after 4.2.2 release yet Wink

Best

Yes I know it works for Linux but many platforms don't have it implemented so I needed something cross platform hence the change to the code. The pain of writing cross platform software...

Yeah i got your point
Something like
#ifndef WIN32
 pthread_tryjoin_np
#else
...
#endif
What about it?
PS: if last two commits do same job then this is not needed of course

Does this now have native Zeus support or do we still need to use the fork from dmaxl? Can't find suitable information on this.

This is a bitcoin miner. All altcoin variants are forks.

Alot of forks without a table to arrange them on. Makes my head hurt when I try to experiment elsewhere.

Like the info address for potential tips Wink

Making some progress with the Terraminer. I hooked up both boards directly to my PC, installed WinUSB, and then started up version 4.3.5 using the --ps-load 80 parameter since I used to run it at power step 8.

Cgminer recognizes the boards and they get an initial hash rate of about 200g for a second on each board and the over about a minute it goes down to 0.

I get a constant output of checksum bad for each board.

The miner registers on my pool for about 2 minutes and then nothing

Is there a parameter I am missing?

Any suggestions?

Sorry try 4.3.4 as 4.3.5 had the checksum code which is for newer firmware.

Good. Here's a special build of 4.4.2 for you without the checksum code as well:
http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/temp/cgminer.exe

Just drop that file into a cgminer 4.4.2 folder overwriting the cgminer.exe

hello, do you know how to setup logging on cgminer with GNU Screen (linux)?

I'm trying redirecting the stderr but cause of screen that won't work.

This doesn't work:
Code:
/usr/bin/screen -dmS cgminer bin/cgminer -c miner_conf.json 2>cgminer.log

Instead Cheesy

If you want to append the log file, use "tee -a".

Create a script with the redirect in it and call that from screen.
