CGminer v3.8.5 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT

[P_Shep]

Upped to 2.9.1

https://github.com/downloads/pshep/cgminer/cgminer-2.9.1-mipsel.tar.gz

[P_Shep]

2.9.6

[P_Shep]

Github have been gits and stopped the file hosting, so I've signed up for drop box and put the file here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ux31ggupvd4u9y8/cgminer-2.10.0-mipsel.tar.gz

(hopefully it's shared)

[irritant]

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but has anyone tried to compile the stratum proxy for dd-wrt?

As ckolivas said, there's no compilation involved. Please follow instructions from https://github.com/slush0/stratum-mining-proxy , it should work even on dd-wrt (it requires only python 2.6/2.7).

Sorry for OT.

[irritant]

will this work with BFL Jalapenos?   (with new version of cgminer compiled for wrt?)

[BR0KK]

So you have one already?

Seriously .. Who knows what will work with those unicorn blood powered magical thingies when (if) they are released?

Btt:

I'll try the new version. Do I need to do al the Ddwrt stuff over again?

[BR0KK]

Just tried it again and I'm still unable to do it.

It won't do anything here ?

[irritant]

serialmodus is disabled

For BFL, Icarus and Mod Miner Quad:
Copy serial script to       /opt/etc/init.d              (S45serialmodules)
Copy ftdi_sio.ko to         /opt/lib/modules/2.6.24.111  Rename existing file

Enable the USB serial drivers, type:
> service serialmodules on
> service serialmodules start
> service unicornblood on
> service unicornblood start

The devices should now be recognised as a serial device. To check, type:
> ls -l /dev/usb/tts


This will list all the USB serial ports detected.

For Ztex and Mod Miner Quad:
Create the bitstreams dir and copy bitstream files to    /opt/bin/bitstreams

[BR0KK]

Is serialmodules necessary for Ztex boards?

[Luke-Jr]

No, ZTEX just requires libusb-1.0. BFGMiner has official OpenWrt packages now, if you want to try that.

[BR0KK]

Same install procedure?

[Luke-Jr]

Same install procedure?

No, BFGMiner uses opkg: http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bfgminer/2.10.5/openwrt/12.09/README

[BR0KK]

Maybe i screwed the part with the libusb up?

For all:
Copy cgminer scripts to     /opt/etc/init.d              (cgminer.sh, S99cgminer)
Copy cgminer executable to  /opt/bin                     (cgminer)
Copy cgminer.conf to        /opt/etc                     Edit according to your setup. See CGminer documentation.
Copy libusb-1.0 files to    /opt/lib                     Rename the originals (if any)

The last step is (for me as a linux noob) hard to understand. I downloaded the cgminer package and transferred all libusb files via winscp to the appropriate folder.

These three files were transferred:

Code:

libusb-1.0.so
libusb-1.0.so.0
libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0

On my router under the /opt/lib folder i have now these files:

Code:

/...More other files that i don't know..../

libusb-0.1.so.4
libusb-0.1.so.4.4.4
libusb-0.1.so.0.1.0
libusb-0.1.so.0.lnk
libusb-0.1.so.lnk
libusb.so

/...More other files that i don't know..../

So i have to delete or rename the libusb files marked with a "4". Like this "libusb-0.1.so.4.4.4"?
What the hell is an ".ink"? That must be a windows leftover i think so i have to rename them to?

[P_Shep]

The .lnk is a windows leftover, it's how windows deals with symbolic links.
For linux you create the symbolic links with
ln -s <source> <dest>

so:
ln -s libusb-0.1.so.0.1.0 libusb-1.0.so
ln -s libusb-0.1.so.0.1.0 libusb-1.0.so.0

and delete the .lnk files

[BR0KK]

I deleted the ink files and made the symbolic links as you described, but i do have (again beginners) issues with lsusb.

if i call it i get this error message:

Code:

root@DD-WRT-FPGA:~# lsusb
lsusb: can't load library 'libusb-0.1.so.4'
root@DD-WRT-FPGA:~# 

This is after renaming all the default libusb files and a restart of the router. Looks like this now:

Code:

libusb-0.1.so.4.4.4.txt            
libusb-0.1.so.4.txt
libusb-1.0.so
libusb-1.0.so.0
libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0
libusb.so.txt

How do i get lsusb to use the other libusb libraries? As i understand this lsusb uses the default files and i have to set a dependency somewhere? That dependency will be necessary for cgminer to use the "new" libusb files as well.

There is no easy way to do this?

Sry that i have to ask all these noob questions. If i get it working ill donate towards your effort.

Try as root ldconfig to have the cache for the libraries installed rebuilt and check in the /etc/ld.so.conf file to be sure the directory you copied into is present in that file so it will find them.

Edit: This page has couple of more commands you can try.

http://linux.101hacks.com/unix/ldconfig/

[BR0KK]

Thank you for this explanation and the link. Hm....

Seems that with my knowledge of linux (and shell) I'm unable to do this (this is part of what i hate with linux. No, to zero usability/compatibility for beginners ).. The written TuT reads like this is simple copy and paste?

Maybe there is someone out there that has a E3200 with Ztex boards that can provide a "clone" from his DD-WRT build, so that i can flash my router with this?

Or there is someone that can explain to me (for a noob: step by step) what exactly i have to do to get this working?

What do i need to do?

Try as root ldconfig to have the cache for the libraries installed

if i run "ldconfig" (without any options) i get this:

Code:

root@DD-WRT-FPGA:/# ldconfig
ldconfig: skipping /opt/lib/libusb.so.txt: No such file or directory
ldconfig: skipping /opt/lib/libusb-0.1.so.4.txt: No such file or directory
root@DD-WRT-FPGA:/# 

Does this mean that the linux still tries to use the renamed old libusb files?

if i look at the  "/etc/ld.so.conf" file i see this:

Code:

/jffs/lib
/jffs/usr/lib
/jffs/usr/local/lib
/mmc/lib
/mmc/usr/lib
/mmc/usr/local/lib
/lib
/usr/lib

jffs?
mmc?

Sry, I'm turning this thread into a linux support thread but maybe this helps other Ztex DDwrt users :/

[BR0KK]

OK ....Hm, thanks to irritant it works somehow.  I did everything again and now when i start cgminer i get this:

Cant access Firmware but why?

[Luke-Jr]

The firmwares are separate packages to save space.
The one you want is bfgminer-bitstream-ztex-ufm1_15d4

[BR0KK]

Thank you luke that was a good hint

It works.... but only with my quads?

Must have something to do with the dummy FW :/
