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

[kano]

Updated my binaries git to 3.3.4a + 3.3.4 master binaries/src (and removed 3.3.3a + 3.3.3 master binaries/src)

Are you able to build the binaries you released statically against the known good version of libusb?

All the ones in my cgminer-binaries are statically linked to the working libusb, but dynamic with everything else.

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

Latest cgminer 3.3.3 on usb be is not working on p2pool - all rejected.
In p2pool log i see some startum errors.

guys quick question.

I have 2 identical 7970 cards. When my cards are cold, I see that fan speed is displayed differently for each of my cards:

GPU  0:  68.0C  50%    | 620.3M/683.2Mh/s | A:3 R:0 HW:0 WU:  7.1/m I: 9
GPU  1:  55.0C 1815RPM | 620.3M/680.6Mh/s | A:5 R:0 HW:0 WU: 11.8/m I: 9

Eventually when they get warmer, they % value gets replaced with a RPM value in the 3000-3100 range.

Maybe I am wrong bu tthis seems like a recent behavior change. As far as I know, previously fan speed was always displayed in RPM...

That code hasn't been changed in a long time. Each device reports whether it can detect RPM speed or only report the set fan percentage speed. cgminer tries to show the actual RPM speed if it can (since that's safer than a device that thinks it's set to 100% but the fan isn't spinning), and falls back to percentage only when the device reports it doesn't support RPM. If something is changing while your machine is running, your driver/hardware is doing some funkiness

Watch out, the 2013-08-14 image seems to get rid of the temp cutoff settings in the Avalon GUI, make sure you add the appropriate command-line settings, especially for batch 3.

A reminder that I've said in my announces that there is no specific batch3 support in my firmware images. Luckily the default settings are too cold for batch3 so it will not harm your device, just crank the fans up to maximum. Add your parameters to the More Options box as I said in the 3.3.2 announce. Hopefully there will be new firmware from xiangfu soon which includes all my changes as well as his batch3 interface changes.

[bitpop]

What does the Avalon interface look like?

Luckily the default settings are too cold for batch3 so it will not harm your device, just crank the fans up to maximum.

Actually it quickly exceeds the default cutoff temp and shuts the chips down, oscillating as they cool down and warm back up. Only harm is lost mining time.

How can I run cgminer with windows and mine  with a avalon?`I want to connect him via USB. 

Are the avalon drivers included in the  windows version?

yes!

you have to run zadig to change to the winusb drivers. (also see asic readme)

I need to disable my BFL LS for cgminer. Any solutions?

Code:

2013-08-14 23:21:13] BitForce detect (1:2) failed to initialise (incorrect
e?)
2013-08-14 23:21:18] USB init, open device failed, err -12, you need to ins
a Windows USB driver for - BAS device 1:2
2013-08-14 23:21:18] BitForceSC detect (1:2) failed to initialise (incorrec
ice?)

[kano]

As per the README ...
--usb BAS:0 will ignore all BFLSC devices.
There are more options with that ... as written in the README ...

I tried this with nogpu.exe, but not working.

You are using a VERY old version of cgminer ... get the current one.

want to move past 3.1.1 on my pi with BE's but i really dislike arch. does 3.3.4 still have usb issues with rasbian wheezy? Is there a custom libusb that works with it yet?

Sorry if this is posted elsewhere i did a few searches and could not find anything. Thanks.

How to compile with the known working libusb is documented step by step in README (I added it in 3.3.2)
https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/README#L112

It is actually not many commands: get, extract, configure, make, autogen.sh cgminer (with the new libusb) then the rest as usual
I have that working libusb source archive in my cgminer-binaries also:
https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries

Was able to follow your directions with 3.3.4 but unfortunately its not working. If a single usb device is connected to the onboard hub it never finishes booting. I troubleshot for a few hours yesterday to no avail. Even when i get it started it halts or reboots when i connect any usb device.

I started from a clean wheezy but one compiled with FBTFT drivers and then configured to use my 2.8" screen. I think setting that up may have prevented cgminer 3.3.4 or the libusb to build correctly or maybe theres just a conflixt.

Yes - 3.1.1 working with

Code:

cgminer-nogpu.exe -o eu-stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u user -p pass --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S \\.\COM3 -S \\.\COM4

With 3.3.4 not working.

All of those options do nothing for  the latest version, and worse, they stop it from working.
