Yeah, and the old mine.py works fine with it as well...strange!

Maybe ftdi_sio got loaded accidentally? x6500-miner tries to remove that automatically, MPBM doesn't.

That could be it. freshzive, if you're on linux, take a look at the Linux guide for a way to blacklist that module so you don't have to bother with it again.

Let us know if you're still having the problem!

Hmmm, on a Mac not linux. I tried to remove and it doesn't seem to exist:

sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext
Can't open CFBundle for /System/Library/Extensions/FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext.
Can't create /System/Library/Extensions/FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext.

Why would it get loaded on the new x6500 but no the old ones? Those are still chugging along fine in MPBM.

Keep in mind that if you are running other FPGAs you may want to skip the blacklist in step 4, otherwise they may not be assigned a ttyUSB port.  On my system I run rmmod ftdi_sio prior to starting MPBM.  I load the x6500 bitstreams and get them mining first, then plug in other devices that require ftdi_sio.  There may be other ways to work around it... feel free to share them.  Smiley

Add a native serial port driver to MPBM, to completely remove the need for ftdi_sio.
Not exactly trivial, but shouldn't be all that hard either. It's on my todo list for May/June Smiley

For MPBM? It should in theory already support GPUMAX, and the one issue that showed up during some testing was fixed long ago.
Can you please provide more details on what kind of issues you're experiencing with the X6500 and GPUMAX?
I sadly still don't have a GPUMAX account (waiting for several months now), so I can't test this myself.

I can confirm I was mining with 6GHash of Icarus boards on MPBM Testing branch on GPUMax for the past several weeks. Worked like a charm, nice and stable, no issues. Not sure if there are any significant differences with the X6500 board itself, but I don't see why there would be.

I can't get any of mine to work with GPUMAX.

Because I don't have any.

Because every time I want to buy one, it is either listed as "Out of Stock" or not listed at all.

I really hope this bug gets fixed.

We're nearing the end of the current batch but the next one is in the works (about 3 weeks away from being ready). Cablesaurus will have more for sale later this week, though.

Cablesaurus is literally cleaned out every time as soon as they are listed in a matter of hours! Of course, the quantities aren't huge, but we're trying to make sure all orders are filled within a week so that we don't have unhappy customers. Smiley

Email sales@cablesaurus.com and they'll put you on a list to receive notification when more are listed in stock again.

Thanks!

Yes, and once again, I am quite sure that they will go on sale while I am at work, and be sold out by the time I get home.   Angry

From what I know, defaults should be fine.

I'am donating 50 BTC to the devolper of cgminer in order to buy a X6500 board to to send to him so he can make CGMiner work with the X6500.  I'm 57 bitcoin short and was wondering if anyone else wanted to donate to get this mining software available for this fpga board.  This would be a nice step forward for this board.   If interested please post in this thread or you can donate to

Who would want cgminer if he has MPBM? Wink
