Im guessing no further progress has been made with integrating the AntMiner U1's into the CGMiner core code?

I don't see any updates on Github but just thought id check

Neither of us have an antminer U1, no one is offering to give us some, and no one is pushing code to us to be accepted for those devices. So at this stage there is precisely zero progress and nothing on the horizon.

My units arrived today. I will get one shipped out tomorrow.

did cgminer have an option to overclock nanofury like bfgminer?

[rgr_rgr]

No. At the moment use the source and patch it , file driver-bitfury.c line 417

Hello,

I just got my brand new Sapphire R9 290 today.

Thing is I did some fiddling around with clocks in cgminer and now my screen flickers vigorously once I close cgminer.
It's fine when I'm running the miner.

I started the cgminer firstly with  

Code:

--thread-concurrency 27400 --intensity 20 --worksize 256 -g 1 --gpu-fan 85 --gpu-powertune 30

and things were fine

till I tried, OCing memory to 1500 and engine to 1000...then 1050 caused a driver crash, after which hashes came down to 40-50 and I did a system restart and then flickering started happening. Also I decreased the fan to 75.
...also I tried undervolting to 1.125, but it showed as failed
(all done within cgminer, no external software used)

Max temp reached was 74.

I did the system restore, slided the BIOS switch, multiple system restarts - no effect.

I think cgminer permanently changes the GPU's properties.

Btw whenever I start cgminer, flickering stops and getting normal 840 hashes.

Please help me out guys  

Update: No flickering in safe mode


Update: FIXED ! Flashed BIOS

No. At the moment use the source and patch it , file driver-bitfury.c line 417

and what i have to edit in that line?

Code:

info->osc6_bits = 54;

you can change the frequency, default is 54

I get high HW when Intensity on 13

My settings:
./cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://world.wemineltc.com:3333 -u XXX -p XXXX -g 2 -w 256 -I 13 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 8192,8192 --gpu-engine 1060,1060 --gpu-memclock 1500,1500 --auto-fan --temp-cutoff=95 --temp-target=80 --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://usa2.wemineltc.com:3335 -u XXX -p XXX

Tried lowering some settings, still getting high HW.
Without I13 I only get 500 khash on my r9 280x
What's the problem here?

How do I tell cgminer to ignore all devices that aren't running on WinUSB?

My Bitburners are running on cgminer and Antminers on bfgminer, but cgminer is spamming the "Install WinUSB" error constantly. 

The device I'm using identifies itself as BBF, and if I use the --usb BBF:0 command it doesn't help (drive not recognised or somesuch).

Any clues?

In the readme under Advances USB Options it says

--usb 1:2,1:3,1:4,1:*
allows you to select which devices to mine on with a list of USB
 bus_number:device_address
All other USB devices will be ignored

So if you know the bus number and address you can specify which devices you want to mine with explicitly.  I had trouble with Windoze using this method as the assignment seems to be a bit random.

  Just got the new version on cgminer (3.10.0) and I currently run 3 BFL jalapenos. I finally figured out how to get it to recognize the 3 jalapenos(old version I had used --disable-gpu, but now I have to use --usb :3), If there is another way like the old please let me know. Now my problem is that I can not figure out how to set the Intensity like I could in the old cgminer using --intensity d. Please help. Thanks in advance.

You can't set intensity because there's no GPU mining in 3.10.

So how can I mine with GPUs now? Is it just CPU?

Use the old version which did GPU mine (3.7.2 I think it was), or use bfgminer which still does GPU mining.  Your choice.

CGMiner is ASIC and Bitcoin only from now on.

Thank you for the info. It seems I am getting a lot more HW errors now. Is there a way to stop that or at least not have so many? I get a lot very fast

Did you restart the Jalapenos recently? I know my Jalapeno spews out all kinds of hardware errors if it's too warm when it starts up or whatever. First think you could try is unplugging the power cords for about 10 minutes and then plug 'em back in.

Just a note that I installed Fedora 18 on a Pogoplug (256MB armv5tel w/ 4 USB2.0 ports), and compiled cgminer-0.8.4 with the SRPM from Fedora on Intel - and it worked perfectly!  The pogoplug has now taken over mining chores with my 4 block erupters.  My modest block erupter + hub investment has now paid for itself after 8 weeks at current BTC prices.  I sent a small donation to celebrate.  (The pogoplug was no longer needed for its previous role as VPN concentrator.)

I would highly recommend the pogoplug for USB mining - except that Fedora no longer supports ARM with software floating point (i.e. all the kirkwood systems like pogoplug, guruplug, etc).  There are other linux distros that continue to support kirkwood, however.  I like for "plug" formfactor because there is no video hardware, or anything extraneous.  Just USB ports (and a serial port for debugging booting problems) and an ethernet port.  Once your system is loaded on a USB memory stick, just plug it in and away it goes.  I used a USB hard drive for compiling, since memory sticks are somewhat slow.
