Hey guys,
Just received my Quad XC6SLX150 Board. How should I do for setup it with my GPU and BLF single(x1) Linux minning rig? I use cgminer 2.7.5 and have no idea what's the next step after connected Quad XC6SLX150 to the minning rig. Most appreciate for any help!

@Luke-Jr Thanks! But how could I run BFGMiner on Linux? Can't find the file "bfgminer" in the /bfgminer-2.8.0 directory. Seem not the same as cgminer?

Using cgminer 2.7.5 you need to get it to look for the cairnsmore on your com/serial ports when it starts using the option -S "/dev/tty.XXX" -S "/dev/tty.XXX" iirc. f.e. my cgminer startup command on windows has -S "\\.\COM22" -S "\\.\COM23" included. You'll need to find out what your cairnsmore's com ports are called, they're listed in /dev and (at least with the bitstream I'm using) there are 2 com ports per board.

What did you download? Binary, source?

Yeah, that's the source, need to compile that first: 1. Unzip (un-tbz2? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) ) and "cd bfgminer-2.8.0" 2. ./configure 3. make 4. ./bfgminer 5. ... 6. Profit!

@salty Thanks! However, I got some messages say: Icarus Detect: Test failed at /dev/ttyUSB0: get 00000000, should: 000187a2 . . Is that definitely the right tty com port? Try some other ones maybe?

Try /dev/ttyUSB2 and /dev/ttyUSB3. One way to find out would be to get cgminer to scan them all, then check the log for a message like 'found Icarus on /dev/ttyUSB5' ie:- cgminer -S "/dev/ttyUSB0" -S "/dev/ttyUSB1" -S "/dev/ttyUSB2" -S "/dev/ttyUSB3" -S "/dev/ttyUSB4" -S "/dev/ttyUSB5" 2>mining.log In fact, if your com ports change between reboots, you could just let it check every time you start the miner.

Even when the list seems properly: I've never used any " " to reference the usbports, so I assume that would be the problem. So it's more like: cgminer -S /dev/ttyUSB0 -S /dev/ttyUSB1 -S /dev/ttyUSB2 -S /dev/ttyUSB3 -S /dev/ttyUSB4 -S /dev/ttyUSB5 Also it depends on which bitstream you are using to what ports to reference. Make sure you have issued the modprobe command as well before hand. sudo modprobe ftdi-sio product=0x8350 vendor=0x0403 Mak's only uses 2, hashvoodoo uses all 4. If you need a simple guide on flashing new bitstreams; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=78239.msg1110647#msg1110647If you search through this thread, there is a ton of information, just a matter of searching for it.

Try this (old script I got from Xiangfu that I enhanced) on each of the linux USB ports that you expect to work like Icarus: https://raw.github.com/kanoi/cgminer/ztex/usbtest.py ./usbtest.py /dev/ttyUSB0 icarus It has a habit of clearing any USB problems if that is the cause. If that's not the cause, well then it wont help ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Also it's not very 'tidy' coz I don't like python ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) I've needed it sometimes when I've moved an Icarus from windows to linux ( and I still don't know exactly how python fixes that - even after I wrote copious amounts of termios debug ... as you will see commented out in fpgautils.c ... the problem I get is actually when the port is opened ... and python somehow clears that problem) ... again ... if that's not the cause, well then it wont help.

Interesting: Some bitstreams such as some current “220” bitstreams can use excessive power and hence generate heat that is impossible to extract from the FPGA packaging. This may damage FPGAs and our warranties will not support boards damaged by running “220” bitstreams or similar. The maximum recommended bitstream is currently “200”. If in doubt email bitcoin.support@enterpoint.co.uk for a list of approved bitstreams.

I was always under the impression bitstreams can't effect it's "power" or "voltage", nor would it change automatically even if you pushed it hard via overclocking. The worst that happens is invalids or errors in the output.
