Hi, I hope someone can help me out, I have my Single plugged in and identified as port 15.
Problem is Diablo Miner does not support it (this is what I used for GPU mining), I don't know how to get CGminer working, and the Ufasoft miner link downloads some sort of a wallet, with no options to mine.

The ufasoft link works fine, http://ufasoft.com/open/bitcoin/Read the cgminer manual, it really isn't as complicated as it looks. Easyminer doesn't mine, yet. |

My main problem is when I start CGminer, first thing it asks me to input server URL, it doesn't give me a chance to type other commands.

Read up on how to use either the command line or the config file. Hint: -S \\.\COMxx |

Easyminer doesn't mine, yet. Ah I thought it did! My bad. You still use EasyMiner to upgrade the firmware, right? My main problem is when I start CGminer, first thing it asks me to input server URL, it doesn't give me a chance to type other commands.
It's asking for your pool's URL. Did you try typing it in? |

Yes. Even when it does work, it will work only on Eclipse. |

Dear Ice_chill, This is the command line you can use with cgminer: (Assuming that you have two devices, one on COM15 and the other on COM16) cgminer -o <your pool server address> -u <username> -p <password> -S COM15 -S COM16 Please let us know if you have any other questions.

I assume you are on windows? Or do it as a batch file: Type this into notepad putting your info in the correct places: cgminer -o http://poolurl:port -u user -p pass -o http://backupurl:port -u user -p pass -S \\.\COM15 Save as cgminer.bat in the cgminer directory Run the bat and you should be good to go.  |
Tired of substandard power distribution in your ASIC setup??? Chris' Custom Cablez will get you sorted out right! No job too hard so PM me for a quote

What can I add to the .bat config file to stop CGMiner trying to initialize the GPU, as on my laptop I get an error: OpenCl.dll is missing.
Thanks.

Try it with --disable-gpu ? |

Just curious for when my single arrives, can you run both GPU's and the single FPGA in one cgminer instance, or do you need to open 2 cgminers?

It appears you can as on my PC it tries to fire up everything, GPU+Single, and on my laptop only the Single is started. Also my laptop has AMD SDK 2.7 and the hash rate is 780MH, while my PC had 820MH, will try SDK 2.4 or 2.5 as suggested in earlier post. |

If you are using just the BFL single then you don't need the SDK. Just do as crazyates said and add '--disable-gpu' to the end of your batch file line and that will keep it from starting the gpu.

Did everything suggested in this thread, and everything works fine now, now I understand how the CGminer works and have no more questions regarding it. Thank you all Now just need to figure out why it displays 35MH less on the laptop compared to the PC, however my voltmeter shows the same wattage consumption, so maybe program error for some reason. |

Might be due to network lag from using wireless instead of hardwire connection. Of course, that is assuming you are using wireless on the laptop and hardwire on the PC. And also, I could have no idea what I am talking about. |

Can you please check the ping time on both systems (google for instance), and see what the difference is? Regards, BF Labs Inc. |

After running the Single for 1 hour and PC and 1 hour on laptop I can say the speed has normalized and is the same now.
