[Sell][in stock] HashBuster ASIC Miners

[Nighthawkxx]

I installed the 'v0.8_display_clockbits' version on a raspi with wheezy raspian, but i have some issues with the hasbuster nano.
When cgminer is started everything looks good but after a short while i see the hashrate dropping and a few seconds later i get a 'chip reset' error.

Code:

0 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When i try to restart cgminer without cycling the power to the hashbuster nano, no bitfury chip is detected.

Sometime i also get the 'WARN : /dev/hidraw0 DUP' errors.


Does anybody have any clue what causes these errors and how to solve them?

Cool that you managed to install the modified cgminer on a Rapsberry Pi.

Did you connect the Hashbuster Nano directly to the usb port or thru a (usb 2.0) powered HUB ?

[BadAss.Sx]

It could be a power issue or the getwork network. When i mine on a stratum network i received almost no errors.

But i bet it is a powerissue...i had exactly the same when i was trying to mine with my pi and erupters. And the hub was powered.

I used the procedure i found on your blog.

Tried it with and without a powered USB 2.0 hub, makes no difference.
The same hardware setup works without issues together with 10 USB erupters or one HEX16A miner

I'm still a Linux noob but maybe the issues are related to the hidapi config on the raspi. Just a wild guess. 


The hasbuster nano works perfectly as i already tried it with the Hashbuster Oracle virtual box session on a 64-bit Windows 7 system.

[BadAss.Sx]

cd cgminer-hb

./configure --disable-opencl --disable-adl --disable-bitforce --disable-icarus --disable-modminer --disable-ztex --disable-scrypt --enable-bitfury

sudo make

sudo make install

I want to enable the icarus also, do i have to compile cgminer like above but then:

./configure --disable-opencl --disable-adl --disable-bitforce --enable-icarus --disable-modminer --disable-ztex --disable-scrypt --enable-bitfury

Anyone an idea before i corrupt my cgminer?

[disclaimer201]

checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... no
configure: error: Could not find pthread library - please install libpthread

can you please help me. I just started with Linux so I am not an expert   I run Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit

Check presence of hidapi (hidapi-hidraw)  library.

cloned hidapi with git but didn't compile it   ./configure and make etc succesful, hidapi installed

[lot's of stuff]

I'm stuck at this point. I didn't get to install hidapi because there is nothing to ./configure or I don't know if I'm looking in the right place. This is really tough for Linux newbies like me. Wouldn't even know how to check if hidapi is correctly installed. I still end up with the missing libpthread error.

Maybe I should try again in windows? Is it only possible to install the modified cgminer in the virtual box, and whoever got that to work, do you run into the same error in the virtual box when wanting to connect more than one hashbuster? It must be some sort of driver error. As stated before, 1 hashbuster per computer is running just fine. But there has to be a way to connect more than one miner to a windows machine.

Edit: Followed the manual at miningonmyown and got following errors when trying to bootstrap hidapi:

autom4te: cannot create autom4te.cache: (Can't find file or directory in German)
aclocal: error: echo failed with exit status:1
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status:1

Wow, these linux commands are truly a foreign language to me. Whenever I type in something that works it is like magic. But if it doesn't work you are just utterly lost.

Lol didn't see it...luckily i always type the commands myself

[Nighthawkxx]

I get that chip reset all the time, and alot of other warnings too:



Had to be quick to push on print screen, but it warns me for every card. I don't know what to think about it...it seems to hash, but they are not that stable as other miners i had

Yesterday evening i also installed xubuntu side by side on my Windows 7 system.
After the installation of the modified cgminer i also get these 'WARN : /dev/hidrawxx DUP' errors and the hashrate is very unstable.  

None of these errors with the Oracle virtualbox session on Windows 7, and also a stable hashrate of 2.5 GH/s.
Also tried it on my Windows 8 system, but can't get it working on that system.

[BadAss.Sx]

Do you mine stratum or getwork? I get a lot of errors with getwork...mining on stratum makes it better

[Nighthawkxx]

I used stratum, but i want to perform some more tests in the near future.
The next couple of days i'll have to focus on other tasks.

try this. power-off hashbuster, disconnect usb-cable from hashbuster. reboot your computer. reconnected usb-cable. power-up hashbuster, wait 30 seconds, start cgminer with sudo. sudo cgminer or sudo ./cgminer

Thank you very much for your help. I did all of this in the exact order. Bootstrap fails.

[BadAss.Sx]

Did you CD into the hidapi folder? Or in other words, do you stand in the Hidapi folder when you execute ./bootstrap?
