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

[rudrigorc2]

what can you remove do to make it smaller?

I have a version 2.4.1 cgminer its only 130k

[P_Shep]

the archive is big because of the bitstreams for ztex and modminer. Unless you have one of those, you don't need them. The executable is actually quite a bit smaller.

I am using this: http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Icarus#Using_TP-LINK_TL-WR703N_as_host

am running out of space. the cgminer 2.4.1 here is 130, yours 150, I cant make it +x, why? is this a dumb question?

I cant run the api with privileged access on this 2.4.1,think its a bug, thats reason I am trying a new version.

[P_Shep]

Ah. Will not work.

This is compiled for mipsEL (little endian) processor.
TP-LINK is mipsEB (big endian) processor.

err..thanks for the info. =)

I am having trouble getting DD-WRT to connect to my wireless network. I am trying to run the router in "Client mode". I made a post on the DD-WRT forums, which I've posted below.

Router: Cisco e3000, DD-WRT 14929 std-usb
Goal: Have the router run in client or client bridged mode (I have followed this guide exactly)
Problem: The client router cannot ping (if given a static IP) or get a DHCP lease from the host router. The host router is encrypted with WEP (I am aware of security issues. I am not in control of the host router). I think the client router cannot properly connect wirelessly. Is there any way to check? In status->wireless, the host router DOES show up under "access point." The external WLAN light does come on solid. Signal quality is reported at ~60%.

Under wireless->"Basic Settings", for the 802.11x adaptor, wl0, should "network configuration" be bridged or unbridged? I have tried both, but I followed the guide exactly which doesn't mention it (bridged is the default setting).

Thank you very much in advance

There's 10BTC going to p_shep if I can actually get these singles running off of this e3000.

Any ideas?

There was some talk of problems with client bridge with some versions. Last I checked build 15962 was the one recommended, which is the one I use.

My settings are client bridge, with bridged network configuration.

Good stuff.  Needed to know this.


Yes, bridged is what you want if you aren't routing multiple networks.

[Chefnet]

can you compile for tp also?

I am now trying client bridge mode on 15962 -- with the same problems 

I'm just going to keep at it. Any other ideas?

Have you specified a wifi type? I put mine G-only. Also read that mixed can confuse things.
Keep reading DD-WRT forums, may find something to help. It certainly should work!

Also, you're matching up the IP's properly aren't you? What's the IP of the main router you're connecting to? What IP did you set the e3000 to? does the main router have a range set aside for static IPs?

Can I compile for TP? No. I tried, doesn't work with the compiler I have. People have though, so I don't know why they don't make it available...

[streblo]

I had not specified a wifi type. I tried B-only to no avail (the wifi router LED still turns on fully). Nice suggestion though =(

Host router: 192.168.11.1
client bridge router: 192.168.11.50
PC connected to client bridge via ethernet: 192.168.11.25

The host router is a POS and starts at 192.168.11.1 and I believe starts issuing DHCP leases at 192.168.11.2.

Sorry for derailing the cgminer thread, but, OTOH, thank you very much for the suggestions. I made an updated post on the DD-WRT forums here . I will try to get this sorted out in its proper place. Please reply to that thread or PM me if you have any other suggestions!!

did someone have sucess with ztex quad and tplink routers?

[pazor]

not yet...

 

[GoldZuGeld]

can you explain what the problem is?
I want to buy a quad and one of the tplink routers in the next weeks

[BR0KK]

I'm trying too but i have to start from scratch (linux is not my domain )

[P_Shep]

To make things clear:

The binaries included here WILL NOT WORK with TP link devices. They are a different processor.

I did try to compile for this processor, but I couldn't get everything to compile. I could get libUSB (for ztex) and cgminer to compile, but not ftdi_sio.ko (serial driver for BFL).

Since I don't have a TP link device, I'm giving up. Nothing I produce I could test anyway.

Your best bet is to contact xiangfu and ask him nicely (read: ply him with bitcoins) to maintain it.

[GoldZuGeld]

which routers can you recommend for this project?

do you mean with cpu problem the difference between big and little endian?

edit: ok 2 possibilities here:
  - buy the cheapest broadcom modell: seems to be linksys e3000 oder e3200
  - hope to get a big endian version to use tplink routers.

[streblo]

GoldZuGeld: I believe p_shep uses an e3000 - I am using one as well and can recommend it (WEP encryption issues notwithstanding...)

In the README file, it says:

Code:

Copy all the scripts  to    /opt/etc/init.d             (S45serialmodules, cgminer.sh, S80cgminer)

I cannot find S80cgminer. Perhaps it is no longer included and the README needs updating? Please advise 

[GoldZuGeld]

Asus RT-N10U is around 20€ cheaper. CPU is Broadcom BCM5357@300
   should work... maybe ^^
