Awesome. Thanks for the quick reply and awesome job with the software (but you already know that hehe). I will keep plugging away at it until I can get it to work.

Not sure about Linux but on Windows you should no longer have com ports

Hi!
I have a question. Why I can't setup intensity in my CGminer. If I add -I 9 into command line all my cores run with about the same speed and is sub 200MH... I have 8 GPU cores and if I setup -I 9 I get only 1.1something GH... If I don't added I get 2.0something GH. It is still not full speed but much beater then with I setting. What I should be seeing is 2.6something...
If I start miner without -I setting and change it later it happens that all others cart get negative intensity setting... When I set them all I get the same as if I use config file.
This happened when I added 5970 and 5770 to my miner. With only 5 cores I didn't have problems. But I do have a mix of cards if that might be a problem. 6790, 6870, 5850, 2x5970, 5770. Running 2.11.4, but the same problem is on 3.2.0(3.x has problems with my pool. I get disconnected all the time).
Win 7 x64... I did notice that CPU is on 100%. With only 5 cores it was less then 30%. Any other data?
Thanks
EDIT: Figure out why I have 100% CPU. CCC problem... Uninstalled it at it is fine...

I thought you needed Windows 8 to run more than 5 cards...

Well they run "without a problem" but I have a problem ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Could be related... Can you tell me more? EDIT: From what I see in Win7 support documentation is multiple and no limit. Vista had it but not 5 but 3. EDIT2: I don't think that is it. I got 2.4something with guiminer...

pastebin (don't paste here) the output of the end of 'dmesg' when you plug the AMU in also 2 cgminer outputs: 1) cgminer -n 2) cgminer -D -T -verbose ... your options ... 2> debug.log and let that run for about 30 seconds - and pastebin it or upload the log somewhere
I don't have a powered hub, I guess I better get one to see what's happening myself (tried to get one last week and oddly none of the shops I went to had one ... except one that was crap)
One other thing to try is to leave it unplugged for about a minute then see if that fixes it I had mine go into a weird state not being recognised after using different OSs and being left unplugged for a while fixed it for me The error I got when this happened in the debug log was an error 4 setting the baud I might try see if that is reproduceable - the error and the unplug fix, and if so, when it happens print a message to do that.
Here you go: http://pastebin.com/tRWSfvNVI hope it helps. I would be happy to provide more info, if needed. Leaving it unplugged for a minute had no effect. Thank you kano and fydel! Some additional data: http://pastebin.com/2W2wte3z ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Note: rpi -> usb hub -> 1 AMU Regarding the hub: just connected a single AMU directly to the rpi (usb hub disconnected, rpi power cycled) and have had the same issue. Guess the powered usb hub is not the cause. Same eror there also [2013-05-31 22:26:51] AMU: cgid 0 SetBaud got err 4 Yep trying to sort out what causes it (and what fixes it) ...

Now, whenever i run cgminer, it removes the /dev/ttyUSB0 interface, and i cant get it back without removing and adding the erruptor again. Tried running cgminer (tried both the master and 3.2.0) , tried both with and without sudo. Is there a way to force cgminer to use the old serial interface? uname -a Linux xxxxxxxx 3.8.0-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Tue May 14 22:16:46 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

About 5-10% better still over 60%
Well I don't think that's the cause then if it's only 5%. We'll investigate further. I've found a place where a fair amount of cpu usage might be lost. You might want to try the new binaries I uploaded again here that try to kerb that: http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/temp/

One quick answer don't know if thas was already talked about. For linux cgminer it must be runned xwin on linux. So can I run cgminer from terminal like putty or it must be runned on linux pc stated on xwin terminal? because I tried all and cgminer finds only CPU no GPUs.

cgminer 3.2.0 crashes my raspberry pi when using 10 black arrow lancelots.
I got it working by recompiling everything and it seems to be fine. It is autodetecting the devices without issue. However, for example, I just ran it and before it started it detected 3 units... I see BLT 0, BLT 1, BLT 2, etc... then after a couple of seconds it auto-detected the other devices but they never show up on the device list. They submit shares just fine but I can't see the per device statistics. How can I update the display to show the newly detected devices?

Is there a limit on total intensity? If your Bitcoin mining then 8 or 9 is the highest you should go. Check the top post and the FAQ. But you should be able to set your intensity individually per GPU since different GPU's work better with different intensities sometimes. Sam

But you should be able to set your intensity individually per GPU since different GPU's work better with different intensities sometimes. Sam I don't understand what you are saying in first part of a post and I know about the second. That is why I wrote(in edit) that I would like to set it to 12 and 10... But for now 8 is what I can have. I'm getting 2.5something. So better then guiminer. But I'm not sure why I'm limeted to 8. But 8x8=64. If you start with 0 not 1 it is 111111 binary. Can that be it? And that why I get negative values when going over? EDIT: Now I get it. Well I did some testings and I can get about 4% more if I set up to 10 and 12. And that is missing at the moment... As far as I know 8 and 9 were limits in older versions...

There aren't really any limits per version of CGMiner, except where it tops out at which I think is 14. But the limit is per GPU type. 9 is about the max that gets you the best performance. But I have 5xxx series GPU's so 8 or 9 is the highest which is best for those. If you have newer GPU's then maybe you can go higher. I would recommend keeping an eye on your U: and HW errors though. Again the FAQ in the top post explains allot of this. Sam

No rush. We greatly appreciate the debugging but take your time. This is the unfortunate cost of such heavy development, and we're heavily dependent on users testing scenarios we can't reproduce ourselves.
