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

[-ck]

Same error as last time. LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED 

I know what this is likely to be. Fixed in git, version 3.8.5 cgminer, when it's out, should have it fixed.

[P_Shep]

Oh great, Thanks Con.

[daurwid]

Boo 
Same error as last time. LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED 
Back to 3.6.1 again.

I rolled back to 3.6.3 per P_Shep's suggestion.  I have had no problems since.  Hopefully ckolivas can figure out what's going on with the newer versions.  I tested 3.7.x & 3.8.x versions but could not get them to detect my BFL MiniRig SC.

[OtaconEmmerich]

Thanks for all the effort you do Con, and Thanks for compiling these Shep. Whenever you get to 3.8.5 I'll give it a go again.

Also I ment 3.6.3  in the last post, Which has been stable sense I upgraded my firmware and reinstalled Optware fresh and will stay that way I hope.

[P_Shep]

OK, here it is:

Working for me right now.

Oh boy, Guess what?

It tries to mine, but 1 second after Network Diff shows up it all goes green(as in all the LED's on my BE's turn green)
It seems like at least it's TRYING to work but something hitches, Back to 3.6.3 and restarting every ~24 hours.

Installed and seems to be running.  I'll report on it after 24 hours have passed.

I have an Asus RT N16 with ddwrt and a 5GH/s BFL miner.

I'm following the instructions posted at

When starting cgminer I get:

Well that should work OK. You don't need to worry about libusb though, cgminer is statically compiled.
To run straight from the cmd line, you may need to reset the library path:
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
unset LD_PRELOAD

uptime on router 8 hrs, still running and uses very little resources. 3.8.5.

I tried unsetting the path and after running cgminer it prints out the semwait error then exits.
No difference when I run: service cgminer start.
This is what I get when listing the usb devices:

root@DD-WRT:~# ls -l /dev/usb/tts/
total 0
crw------- 1 root root 188, 0 Jan  1  1970 0

Any ideas about what's wrong?

What router model and what firmware if you wouldn't mind sharing.

No idea at all. That's the set up I have. My RT-N16 is running Kong mod build 21395M and OTRW2.

And tty won't list anything, the drivers aren't installed or used anymore. cgminer communicates directly with the device via libusb.

Update.  Stability problems.  Log file shows this as error:

Over time this would cause the router to reboot or force the service to restart.  Lots issues with router as well (attempting to use VPN was becoming a problem).

Rolled back to 3.6.3.

I'm running Kongmod 22200M + OTRW2.

[P_Shep]

Running for just shy of 5 days now for me.

Getting a few 'BAS0: empty result...', but not too many.

E3000 (WRT610Nv2 converted to E3000)+ KONGMOD 22200M + OTRW2

I also noticed that this optware was loading transmission_daemon which i had to disable the service as well as edit the /opt/etc/init.d/K90transmission and comment out line #129 which would run a gunzip process at 100% cpu at start.

cgminer_3.8.5 running without a problem! Loving it

[P_Shep]

Hmm, after 8 days or so without problem, suddenly bad things are happening.

Might have to go back to 3.6.3 also.

Might have to go back to 3.6.3 also.

I picked up a WNDR3700v4 for $30 a few days ago, but didn't realize it's an Atheros mipseb SoC, not a Broadcom MIPSEL chip.

So then I got a WNR3500Lv2, which will be here in a few days. It's about the only broadcom MIPSEL I could find with 128MB RAM, 128MB Flash, and still only $30 on fleabay.

Maybe things will go smoother this time. Should I start with your suggested 3.6.3, or go with the newest 3.8.5? It'll only be controlling SC Singles.

[P_Shep]

Maybe stick with 3.6.3. Not sure there's much advantage with 3.8.5
