I'm writing a C program to control a Bitmain Antminer U2 through the USB port directly (not through CGMiner or BFGMiner, etc.), but I can't find any documentation of commands that can be sent/received across the USB COM port.  I've tried to follow through CGMiner and BFGMiner source code, and I see the COM port API calls, but it would be much easier to have some doc (maybe from Antminer) just to list the syntax of all commands.

I'd appreciate if anyone knows where this exists (while I still have some hair left)?

Thanks

You've had a look at their git? https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1

Thanks for the response.

I checked it out, it seems to be just hardware schematics, how to use zadig, and info about their GUI for the S2 miner.  I didn't see anything about how to talk to their board using their USB connection (other than how to use CGMiner).

Is it possible there is a standard command set to communicate to ASIC miners that is documented somewhere else?

Here's an old version of their cgminer mod: https://github.com/bitmaintech/cgminer

Maybe there will be something useful in the code?
