(OLD) BFGMiner: modular FPGA/GPU, GBT, Stratum, RPC, Avalon/Lnx/OpnWrt/PPA/W64

[nathanrees19]

How many ASIC's are on that PCB? 2?

Guessing 4. Sources suggest that they're running at half speed due to power/heat issues with the pre-production boards.

Suhweetah!

Wouldn't another solution be, for the aftermarket hacker, to augment the PS and let 'er rip? Looks like a heap of FET switchers like any other computer motherboard might have... Just liquid cool them, too...

What steps do I need to take to make sure jansson is installed and linked correctly?  Doesn't seem to be a yum install JSON anywhere around.

I installed catalyst using the following:

Code:

cd /use/share/ati 
./amd-uninstall.sh -force
on reboot enter init 3 by hitting "a" and adding a "3" to the end of the command line ... 
yum install fglrx64_p_i_c... (which I had minutes before built upon this very machine)
on reboot enter init 3 by hitting "a" and adding a "3" to the end of the command line ... 
aticonfig -f --adapters=all --initial  
init 5

Code:

$ ./autogen.sh

this worked for me some time ago on Fedora 16:

yum -y install jansson-devel  libcurl-devel python-twisted

git clone  https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer
cd bfgminer
./autogen.sh  ## --enable-cpumining --enable-scrypt

make -j3

cd /home/test/Downloads/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.7-lnx64
./Install-AMD-APP.sh

./bfgminer  --gpu-threads 1  -I d -o mining.eligius.st:8337 -O 12jNbMzoBGLcKa7qY45gbcDfG4ms8jRWyf --no-submit-stale --auto-fan --temp-target 70 --gpu-memclock 1000 --gpu-engine 1120

While I did not have python-twisted installed, after installing and recompiling it made no difference.

$ ./bfgminer -n

I do appreciate the suggestion, though.

Hey guys,
I am trying to make bfgminer from git working with my Cairnsmore1 boards with HashVoodoo bitstream.

I tried to use latest bfgminer from git dated as below:

Code:

commit 7454181fcffdea59bb2cf6f32809df6c78bc47a5
Merge: f374013 d41b6b2
Author: Luke Dashjr <luke-jr+git@utopios.org>
Date:   Thu Apr 4 00:42:38 2013 +0000

I successfully compiled it with default settings. When I am running bfgminer from command line, that's what I have:

Code:

./bfgminer -D -T

I have one ECM 0 detected properly with dynamic hashrate and 3x ICA with default 150MH/s speed, no dynamic frequency scaling

However, I was digging further and discovered, that Ubuntu Lucid Lynx AMD64 binary (bfgminer_2.10.5-0lucid1_amd64.deb) is working fine on my system:

Code:

# /usr/bin/bfgminer --version
bfgminer 2.10.5

As you can see, on this binary 4 chips ECM has been detected and they working absolutely fine, mining nicely:

What should I do, to make bfgminer from git working properly on my system? I prefere to use git version instead of Ubuntu Lucid version on Debian system. Please help

I had strange problem recently with two cards - I do not know which part helped :
patched old ati.12.4 driver for kernel 3.6
installed AMD_APP 2.8
installed "MATE Desktop"
aticonfig -f --adapters=all --initial
reboot
telinit 5

aticonfig --lsa
[test@localhost /]$ aticonfig --lsa
* 0. 01:00.0 AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series
  1. 02:00.0 AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series

* - Default adapter
[test@localhost /]$ aticonfig --adapter=0 --odgc

Adapter 0 - AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series

( I had error with adapter "1" before - see : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1721.msg1704657#msg1704657 )

Best bet is probably to bisect it.
I'm planning to release BFGMiner 3.0 tonight, so if you want this fixed in it, it may be best to get in touch on IRC.

As of BFGMiner 3.0, we have a new forum thread.
