Never been able to get any version of BFG to recognize a U3. Have uninstalled all previous drivers (Silabs, Zadig etc), but no cigar.
Any trick to getting current 5.40 build to "see" the U3? Running Windoze 7 Pro x64, fast machine, lots of memory. Thanks.

as per the README:
Code:
ANTMINER U3
-----------
The U3 does not support autodetection, so you will want to use --scan-serial to
manually probe it. For example, to scan all devices, you can use:
-S antminer:all --set antminer:chip=BM1382
Additionally, for optimal performance you will need to set voltage, clock, and
timing. Voltage format for the U3 is not documented by the manufacturer, thus
must be provided as hexadecimal configuration codes. Timing is provided in the
number of nanoseconds each hash takes at the given configuration. A
known-working configuration is:
--set antminer:voltage=x800 --set antminer:clock=237.5
--set antminer:timing=0.022421
it works just fine with -S all with my setup.

will the new bfgminer 5.0 support antminer u3 like the cgminer?
When/if Bitmain sends me something to work with... which depends on their customers requesting BFGMiner support.Do you just need a U3 unit to work with? If so, please reply privately. Thanks.

Hello guys,
so i use the Bfgminer about a month and it runs very stable, butm the BIF (BiFury USB) has many HW???
I don't know why? I think the temperature is OK ~ 30°C and the Oscillator bits are only by 53??? The BPM (RedFury) runs OK??
I hope you have an answer?
regards

So either I use the standard version that support everything I need but not the compac
Or I use the special build that supports the compac but not th antminer (which I need).
Or I use the special build that supports the compac but not th antminer (which I need).
Or you can do like I have done and run 1 instance of the special build to run the compac stick, and another instance of the regular build for the rest of your miners. Run the special version first, it will start the compacs mining, then run the other version and it will see the compacs as busy and ignore them and only pick up the rest of your hardware.
November 16, 2015, 02:51:22 AM
you can compile that in if you know how to . one second i give the comamnds for it even the CG they have just leave out or adds a line sometihng like this during the compile even there cusotm build you can hope luke doesn't get pissed at me for doing it . NM i l pm it
. ok ? .--enable-antminer il pM the full text if you want it id rather not do it on the BFG thread . but renumber CG miner no longer has script support of any kind after 3.7.2 i think it was just sha256 support and isn't that one stick a script type miner ? . it's been long while sense I used those .
I have add other support into the compac version it still there just have to know what to use as a command along with what they use .
That there version of the driver is off there server but you can get it off the main server with everything i have to see if it would work and it did
you can add that back some place in the compile or do a update of your own or wait or figure out why BFG is doing it . one last question do you have a windows box if so have you tried in on a windows box with just the BFG driver installed . . but I really don't like CGMiner i won't go any farer why i don't
. hate to start something i won't like later on .Thank you.
I do not do scrypt mining, only sha256/BTC

and with BFG you don't need all those setting for Zeus miner or there = anymore .
I use Zeus miner a lot and my command lines when i don't use minera are nothing like that with BFG 5.4 that's more like BFG 4.3.1 you had to use it that way .
one second i lty to give you a better set of commands .
--scrypt -S zus:all -o stratum+tcp://eac.suprnova.cc:3515 -u Username.1 -p 1 --set zus:chips=6 --set zus:clock=320 make sure 320 is the right clock speed i never bought one of those miners.
if they are all the same miners you won't need -S zeusminer:\\.\COM7 and Polly won't any way it you set the clocks chip set right for any other miner in the line and -S noauto according to the BFG readme is off by defuat now
.it does in deed seem to be OFF on my windows PC, my video card doesn't want to start any more if i don't use -S noauto or didn't all most two weeks ago when i was testing it on my PC .you may or may not need --set zeusminer:ignore_golden_nonce=1 with BFG 5.4 test it some. if i renumber right that line was suppose help fix a bug with Zeus miner that both BFG and CG got hit with, CG uses a different format in the fork for GG that still has Script support but it does the same thing fixes some kind of bug and helps keep Down HW errors.
Found the problem it was a bad power supply...lol

Toptek: cgminer has a specific build of 4.9.2 that supports the compac, but that build doesn't support the antminer as this part has been modified for the compac.
So either I use the standard version that support everything I need but not the compac
Or I use the special build that supports the compac but not th antminer (which I need).
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12831452
At the moment I'm using both versions on 2 computers, but i'd like to consolidate my 6 U3+1 BFL single and the compacs on 1 computer.
Obviously, for pool difficulty reason, my 333Mhs block erupters will have to run on a separate machine.

--enable-gekko --enable-icarus : gekko was built by gutting icarus and rebuilding for compac's, so to use icarus, you would need to do 2 cgminers. 1 for the cgminer-gekko, 1 regular cgminer for icarus, and run both cgminers 1 for compac and 1 for icarus.

SO all the miners do work in the CG mimer from here : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/gekkoscience-compac-bm1384-stickminer-official-support-thread-1173963 that has a custom made CGMINer for the compac, it does support it , I m kind lost by this
bfgminer as it's the only one that supports all my miners
yea your right it support any all miners sense they removed Script support from CGMiner and why I like BFG so much more.
Maybe that's what you mean ? . well any way hit that thread . if there is something wrong with those three side will replace them he gives a warranty .

then i don't know why, , it should just work and most who use BFG just set like i said and it works with whatever amount in linux or windows , I'll be honest , I'm not into stick miners like i was back in 2014 when they first came out, i only planed to buy one and have it now and I let run day and nite on CK pools in the Stick club.
when the pod comes out thu i want a few of those. I will use them like i use S5 now to me there gonna be worth it .
LUKE might ask him or go to the support thread for the miner it self there is a lot of good help there.

All BFG is doing here is looking for some thing that may not have a driver hocked into it right, i mean is loaded but isn't, if its windows . and has a yellow warning mark by it in Device manager then it's not BFG at all it's the right driver for the software you happen to be using. if none of this works for you then why not stay with CG ?, if it works . also if may load up in windows any way because the CG driver work, if it there is no issue with the miner using CG you may have to uninstall the CG driver and then install the BFG drivers.

In minera unless something is wrong with one or two just set it for one it should pick the rest up if it has BFG 5.4 in the custom folder or it lets you update BFG to 5.4 .
or like this maybe with the command line black screen. make sure your USB hub is working right that might be a problem as well. check it with this command
ldconfig
lsusb
if it's on a windows pC if not you may need to do it this way
cd /bfgminer
sudo ldconfig
lsusb
./bfgminer here -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333/#cksuggest -u you user -p x --set compac:clock=200 or higher if you Oc and using CKs pool
^
you can add -S all the compac were set up thu not to need -S all but it might work .
--api-listen --api-allow W:127.0.0.1/24,W:192.168.1.0/24 this if you want to give it read write access for other software, BFG should just pick them all up and post all six.
like this
./bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333/#cksuggest -u your user -p x --set compac:clock=200
or
./bfgminer -S all -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333/#cksuggest -u your user -p x --set compac:clock=200
or with read write for other Software you can use for miners .
./bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333/#cksuggest -u your user -p x --set compac:clock=200 --api-listen --api-allow W:127.0.0.1/24,W:192.168.1.0/24

thank you but as I wrote in my post:
bfgminer -S all --set compac:clock=150 ==>> finds 3 devices (out of 6) and I get the following error in bfgminer.log

the exact same HW setup works perfectly with cgminer.
did you try
--set compac:clock=x0b83 x0b83 is = to 150 in BFG other wise i would say jump here see if they can help
. or set it to 200 maybe those three need a higher clock setting in BFG. 200 wont hurt it or doesn't on my one which is all i want . https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/gekkoscience-compac-bm1384-stickminer-official-support-thread-1173963
but they will Polly tell you use CFMINER if it works for you and BFG won't, I can't see or be at your set up, if i could, i could Polly have it working with BFG or CG in no time, all 6 .
Last thought : once you have BFG running did you unplug the three that are not working then plug then back in it is safe to do.
Is it a windows box if so BFG uses a different driver in windows then what CG does you have to
uninstall the one for CG and use this one for BFG
http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx
which is a better driver for BFG then the one for CG .
it may be a driver issue if its windows.That driver may say it only works on windows up to 8.1, I linked, but it does work with windows 10, i have used that driver with win 10 .
if your OS is windows look at device manager once all 6 are plugged in if three don't loaded up in device manager it is a driver issue , you need the driver i linked or use CGminer
