[FIXED]--bmsc-options not recognized by cgminer

[AshleyH95]

Hello People!

When i use the following command with my Red Fury:

cgminer.exe --bmsc-option 115200:20 -o xxx:xxx -u xxx -p xxx --bmsc-freq 0781

I always get the error message:

cgminer.exe: --bmsc-option unrecognized option

Am i doing something wrong?

Im supposed to getting 1.6.gh from the Red Fury and i only just get 500mh

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Hello,

I had problems with the latest cgminer, have now got my 3 x AntMiner U1's working with cgminer 3.8.5.

You need to compile cgminer from source to enable bmsc-options as such:

./configure --enable-bmsc

Good luck!

Hi!

I'm using Ubuntu 12.x so I don't think what I did applies to you

But, you do need to build using the cgminer 3.8.5 as recommended by AntMiner documentation.

On Ubuntu I did this:

git clone https://github.com/bitmaintech/cgminer
cd cgminer
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0
sudo apt-get install libudev-dev
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-bmsc
make -j 6

And it worked for me after trying many different cgminer configurations. I needed to recompile to enable bmsc to run the AntMiners at their proper speed, before the recompilation I was only  getting 0.5Gh/s from each AntMiner. After compilation I am able to get 2.0Gh/s from each AntMiner.

Hope this helps point you in the right direction!

Ahh man im using windows :/ dont know if that matters lol

I still dont get what im supposed to do what do i need to get from the link?

You could boot your machine in to Ubuntu and mine overnight? You can boot from USB stick!

Have you seen the AntMiner help docs? There are windows files in there too:

Hope this helps!

Awesome mate!! Glad you are now mining!!! Took us newbies a bit of messing around but got there in the end

I'm using my AntMiners on MultiPool.us:8888, if you have any problems let me know, i've probably hit the same problems a day or so before you - good luck!
