Can you give me instructions for pencil mod?

...

By the way - if anyone does indeed do some pencil mods - would you please share your observations? Some feedback about what works the best would be more than welcome

[whiteEAGLE]

i didn`t do a pencil mode, but with a powered USB 3.0 Hub and OS-bits set to 54 the miners run above stable 2,6 gH/s (with fan)

[bigbeninlondon]

I believe one of my sticks mines less efficiently at 54 bits.  Can I specify the bits individually?

I don't know if you can do that on the command line, but you can adjust the bits individually via bfgminer's Device Manager:

Anyone managed to get the latest bfgminer to compile on FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE?

The configure script can't seem to find libusb for some reason which is in the standard location  /usr/lib/libusb.a

I got bfgminer to compile on my Mac with Snow Leopard, but it gives a segfault when I try and mine. No luck on either platform.

I tried Debian linux and the bfgminer configure can't find hidapi even though it's compiled and installed.

This is pissing me off, I just want to run the NF1 I don't have a spare windows machine to put it on, only Mac, FreeBSD, or Linux.

Anyone had luck with Raspberry Pi wheezy?

[vs3]

Anyone had luck with Raspberry Pi wheezy?

I bought a RasPi last week and am waiting for it to arrive .. as soon as I get it I'll give it a shot too.
No promises though - I'm not sure if the hidapi is compatible with it at all or what is the nature of the issue..

I have no experience with FreeBSD.  However I had trouble (they say rasbpian's libusb is not useable) compiling for raspberrypi. The suggested solution was to provide libusb from compiled source. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=338938.msg3634958#msg3634958 for how this was done for pi. Maybe you can adapt it to your situation.

Did you try cgminer ?

Out of curiosity - what makes you think that cgminer will work? Does it support NanoFury?

cgminer does not have the hidapi driver.

I just want to get the NF1 running on any os other than Windows, has anyone done this, if so can you describe the steps please?

With Gentoo, you can just emerge bfgminer with the nanofury USE flag.

Gentoo is not very mainstream, meaning that's probably not what Linux users of the NF1 are going to be running, it's like #37 on http://distrowatch.com/ nevertheless I will try it. I would have thought it would be tested on on a Debian or Redhat derivative by now.

I've tested another HID miner on Debian with no problems, so I would be surprised if NanoFury didn't work as well.

How did you get bfgminer to detect the hidapi libraries during configure? Did you have to move them from the default location /usr/local/lib/hidapi? the bfgminer configure seems to be looking for a package installed.

Ok I did the ldconfig from the README FAQ entry and it's gotten a little further:

Does it need to use hidraw or will it try libusb? I doubt if hidraw is compile into the kernel, libusb is there.

/EDIT nvm I deleted all the hidraw libs, ran another ldconfig and it found the device with libusb it's mining now at about 2.1GH/s with standard defaults.

Thanks.

Hi erk, please tell me how to delete the hidraw lib? step by step since i am new to linux
