does nobody have a solution for this?
I couldn't figure it out for myself :/

cgsnoop does exactly what you are observing.  it collects data from cgminer and broadcasts or submits it in a form that mgpumon uses.

bamt has no support for fpga devices beyond this.

gpumon is not seeing BitForce units connected to a machine running BAMT, and I would like to fix this.
Update: Another machine on the network can see the status of the singles in mgpumon though.


In bamt.conf I use:


settings:

  cgminer: 1
  cgminer_opts: --api-listen --api-port 4028 -O blah -o http://blah -O blah -o http://blah -S /dev/ttyUSB0 -S /dev/ttyUSB1 -S /dev/ttyUSB2 -S /dev/ttyUSB3 -S /dev/ttyUSB4 [...etc]
  cgminer_port: 4028
  do_cgsnoop: 1
  do_bcast_status: 0


In cgsnoop.conf I have:


broadcast: 1
broadcastport: 54545
127.0.0.1:4028,bamt17,unspecified location


I see no cgminer API errors, how can I determine the reason that gpumon is not seeing the BitForce units in cgminer?

ps aux | grep cgsnoop shows no results. So I assume cgsnoop is not running. I guess it is running though, since I see the status of these machines is being broadcast on the network to mgpumon.

When I manually run /opt/bamt/cgsnoop it runs for a second and then closes. What could cause that? I guess that is irrelevant.


UPDATE:

I can see the BFL units in mgpumon on another machine on the network, so cgsnoop must be broadcasting their status. But I still cannot see these units in gpumon on the machine that is controlling them!
