Raspberry Pi Running Antminer U1

[shaashgaz]

Going to try that tonight. Guess that means no auto-start option?
Thanks for the help

[phoenixsilverbird]

Sorry I couldn't assist you as I only have one type of USB miner. Hopefully sweavings should be of more help

I'm still not able to get past this line...
cd ./cgminer
./cgminer --bmsc-options 115200:20 -o mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u bitcoinco_demo -p x--bmsc-freq 0781

Now I get:
Unexpected extra commandline arguments
Segmentation fault

Also: do I add the '--usb :1' command like this:
./cgminer --bmsc-options 115200:20 -o mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u bitcoinco_demo -p x--bmsc-freq 0781 --usb :1

Code:

cgminer.exe --bmsc-options 115200:20 -o 50.31.149.57:3333 -u wassap -p 543210 --

I've been running a Raspberry Pi with 4 BEs uing cgminer 3.8.5.  I compiled cgminer with the --enable-icarus switch for my BEs, but my new antminer only runs at .5gh/s.  I've read that I need to recompile with the --enable-bmsc switch.  But how can I compile using both switches so I can use my BEs and antmier at the same time?

[sweaving]

As previously mentioned, you MUST run 2 instances of cgminer, one compiled with icarus, and the other with bmsc

yes you do add:-
./cgminer --bmsc-options 115200:20 -o mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u bitcoinco_demo -p x--bmsc-freq 0781 --usb :1
like that correct.

however your segmentation fault i havnt seen before!...so cant help with that one. My only sugestion would be to completly remove all cgminer folders. ensure pi is fully updated, install all dependancies as my previous post, then start a fresh install one cgminer at a time, i would start with 3.1.1 for BE's. get these running then go for the forked version as linked to on the 2nd post on here.

Could 2 asic USB miner and 1 USB antminer working together on the same USB hub under cgiminer?

[sweaving]

its a yes and no answer, yes you can have Block Erupters and antminers on the same hub!

but they cant be run with the same cgminer.
You need to install 2 seperate cgminers! and run them seperatly, (one with icarus enabled and the other with bmsc enabled.

i currently have 3 Block Erupters, and 1 Antminer plugged into the same hub i run cgminer 3.1.1 for the BEs and 3.8.5 (frigged) for the Antminer.

Please read back through all posts! myself and phoenixsilverbird decribe how to install Antminers.. follow adafruit (just google it!..lol) tutorial for BE's on 3.1.1

Hi,

In the guide of antminer seems it could be overclocked up to 4GHash, has anyone tried it?

[coolz]

How fast can you mine with it?
Currently mine is just working as XBMC, but might be cool to try this.

[LuckyDime]

How can I run two cgminer in one raspberry pi? Should I log in with two user? How can I see the two cgminer messages? What if one of it stop working, but the other run well. How can I restart the stopped one without messing the working one?

[phoenixsilverbird]

I may not be right, but I THINK you just open 2 lxterminal windows and run an instance of cgminer in each? Not shure.

I've been following the developments of the new version of BFG Miner and they've released a beta build that supports the U1's and BE's. 

I'm on Windows but am using the modified BFG Miner with both U1's and BE's on the same hub just fine.  There are posts that you may find helpful there at: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=168174.1940

Hope this helps.

Yes you do open 2 terminals, but you run a different Cgminer in each! each cgminer has settings to match the different devices.. this is the only i way i know for sure to be able to run both BE's and Antminer U1 on the same hub.

the 2 instances of cgminer miner live in 2 seperate folders!

eg,
Instance 1 may be - cd cgminer-3.1.1
Instance 2 may be - cd cgminer

Aha, I wasn't dare enough to run cgminer under GUI, but now I can imagine it, thx for the pic. Otherwise I have two Rpi, and I've dedicated one to mine only.

[sweaving]

lol..a pic says a thousand words!

i have been running my setup for 4 days now continuasly! and have seen very few error blocks so it is a stable setup.

This works. I have both a Jalapeno and a U1 running for a total of around 8gh/s. All mine is done in terminal and using one instance of bfgminer. Trying now to set it up to allow some of the hashes to go towards solo "lotto" minning (around 10%). No luck on doing that yet!

Cool, do you know if there is a Pi version?
