OFFICIAL CGMINER mining software thread for linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 4.10.0

[kano]

Is this what you're asking for?

Code:

C:\cgm491>CGMINER -D -T
 [2015-03-21 17:30:07] Started cgminer 4.9.1
[2015-03-21 17:30:08] USB init - BAS device 5:1 usbver=0200 prod='BitFORCE SHA256 SC' manuf='BUTTERFLY LABS' serial='FTYM9T5M'

Yes that's it.

Try this:

http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/temp/cgminer.exe

I am having this same problem, I'm new to Monarch mining, had a Jalapeno. Do I have to compile my own cgminer or can I put that file into 4.9.1 folder and run from there?

No, looks like a completely unrelated problem.

Maybe USB cable or USB port or some other USB problem ... presuming you setup zadig properly

I've tried multiple USB cables, different computers, different ports. When I run zadig, the monarch comes up as Bitforce SHA 256 SC if that matters.

This is the device manager after I run zadig. Is it supposed to be FTDI manufacturer?

Is it supposed to be FTDI manufacturer?

No, its supposed to be WinUSB.  Is CGMiner giving you an error message?  If so why no post the text so we know what it is?

sorry had it as a link earlier in thread.

Try this. I've had similar issues.
In device manager un-install the USB devices, check the box delete the driver software for this device. Un-install all monarchs (if more than one you'll see). Then refresh your device manager and you will see the ftdi drivers come back.
Now install WinUSB with zdiag.
Try that.

Are you plugging this directly into your PC's USB port?  If so USB 1.1, 2.0 or 3.0? Or are you going through a Hub?

It seems like a hardware issue like Kano said.  Especially since it happens immediately.

Oh, as for links I don't click on them.  You can also copy and paste the text too.

Still shows as FTDI manufacturer.

I'm plugging into the back of my tower, so directly, should be USB 2.0, it's not blue so pretty sure not 3.0.

Well, yeah, FTDI is the USB hardware manufacture.  But does Zadig show it using the WinUSB driver as your previous screen shot showed?

[os2sam]

Ok, as a last straw you can try going through a USB 2.0 hub anyway and see what happens.  What power supply are you using to power the miner?  Are all the fans spinning up?

I don't have a hub lying around so I'll have to get one and try. My PSU is an ULTRA X4 750W. 12V, 56A, all fans spinning up.

dunno, sounds like bad hardware to me.  You may want to contact the Manufacture's support.

Does it work right in bfl's bfgminer?

No, it spews errors when I run bfgminer, that's why I'm trying cgminer, comes up as BFL 0. I'll try running in a bit with FTDI driver in bfgminer custom and show a screen.

Kinda what I thought. I'll try contacting support and RMA for a replacement.

Oh OK I was using cgminer from a working in bfgminer. If you're using the custom version of bfgminer supplied by bfl and you have enough power. I'm using 1600w power supplies with enough amps. Then I don't know what else I can help you with

This spews out and repeats in bfgminer along with my monarch shutting off.

Edit: So do think this is a fix or a preliminary test?  Also what is the driver instance name for the --usb options?
Thanks a bunch, again.

This code should just become part of the next release. It's still all under the same device name for all bflsc driver devices so BAS. The code was never rewritten to account for variants detected after the fact and black/whitelist them (it would be a massive rewrite and manufacturers have all but made this venture worthless).

-ck,
Did this fix for the Monarch's make into the git tree yet?
Thanks,
Sam

Sorry to interrupt,  I probably should have posted in this thread.

Can anyone help answer the cgminer messages I was curious about that I originally posted here:
