Nah, I was looking for some hint as to what went wrong during detection.

I don't see significant differences (a part from the device name CBM vs AMU) when I compared the old debug log with the new one during the detection phase, but perhaps you can see that.

I found one bug. Can you confirm what command-line you are using?

Do you think this might work for my a2 farmboys... If not, is it possible to tweak it to work, or what would you need to be able to make it work. Thanks

Maybe not so important since it's just a matter of displayed device name.

I believe you are looking for confirmation from debug output. I took a debug log after I upgraded my BFGMiner from 5.2.0 to the broken version of 5.3.0 on the 5th of September. I think it confirms that the device name of my Antminer U3's were recognised as CBM device. Below are some of the lines on that debug log. I can send you the whole log (only about 1 minute worth of messages though) if you are interested on that.

Can you run the broken version with -D -d? and paste the output?

Ooppsss... I have already cleaned up everything related to the previous HEAD version, including the compiled package. I need to figure out how to tell OpenWRT build package to roll back to previous commit.

Is this quite important Luke? For instance, do you suspect something might broke other parts? I prefer to move on with your latest commits, but if that would be important I will try to roll back and re-compile.

Maybe not so important since it's just a matter of displayed device name.

I saw that you have commited some changes on your github, especially commit 8488cf0 on the device name for compact device. I will try if that would fix the issue I am seeing.

I can confirm that your new commits fix the issue that I had as you can see on below link (I am not sure why I cannot insert image to this forum any more)

Strange, it shouldn't have...

The name of the devices of my Antminer U3 have now changed to CBM where previously they were shown as AMU on version 5.2.0.

I can't see to reproduce this.
Mine always shows up as AMU...
What command line do you use?

I don't set the parameters on the command line and I have BFGMiner running on my router so I am using the command line as below.

Code:

root:~# screen -dmS bfgminer bfgminer --config /etc/bfgminer/bfgminer.conf

And the content of my bfgminer.conf is below (with usernames hidden)

Code:

root:~# cat /etc/bfgminer/bfgminer.conf
{
"pools" : [
	{
		"url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334",
		"user" : "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
		"pass" : "x",
		"pool-priority" : "0"
	},
	{
		"url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum.antpool.com:3333",
		"user" : "XXXXXXXX",
		"pass" : "x",
		"pool-priority" : "1"
	}
]
,
"api-mcast-port" : "4028",
"api-port" : "4028",
"debuglog" : true,

"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"shares" : 0,
"kernel-path" : "/usr/share/bfgminer",
"scan" : [
	"antminer:/dev/ttyUSB0",
	"antminer:/dev/ttyUSB1"
],
"set-device" : [
	"antminer:voltage=x800",
	"antminer:clock=x882",
	"antminer:timing=0.0166"
]
}

I saw that you have commited some changes on your github, especially commit 8488cf0 on the device name for compact device. I will try if that would fix the issue I am seeing.

Hmm, maybe try changing the single-quotes to double-quotes.

You'll need to run BFGMiner with --api-listen --api-allow W:127.0.0.1 and then you can use the bfgminer-rpc command from a prompt.

Thanks, I'll need a little hand holding to get through this. Here's what I am trying to do, on a Windows 7 machine, please let me know where I am going wrong.

I added "--api-listen --api-allow W:127.0.0.1" to my batch file and the launched bfgminer.

I opened a second command prompt and navigated to the bfgminer directory, then input the command as you had typed it (but changed the frequency hex) - is this correct? Probably not because I get the following:

Code:

C:\bfgminer530>bfgminer-rpc 'pgaset|cbm0,clock,x1406'
'cbm0' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I must be close, because if I just enter bfgminer-rpc at the second command prompt I get a nice print-out summary of what is going on:

Code:

C:\bfgminer530>bfgminer-rpc

Hmm, I did test that it works on my Compac pre-prod sample before posting it here :/

Does it work any better if you use RPC's pgaset?

bfgminer-rpc 'pgaset|cbm0,clock,x0783'

It probably has to to with the changes made between pre- and post-production sticks.

Is the command you suggested something I enter from the command line or batch file? I am not familiar with RPC. I'll see what I can find out about it in the mean time and try that way, if I can figure it out.

Using 5.3.0 to run a couple gekko compac sticks and no matter what value I input for --set compac:clock= the sticks hash as if they were set to 225 (x0882), so at about 11GH/s each. Any idea why the sticks are not taking the frequency setting?

Found this bug. Will fix in 5.4.

Workaround: Use --set cbm:clock=x0783 instead.
I forgot to set the "compac" name on the driver... :|

Wonderful, thank you! Now I have to dig up my usb tester and start dialing these sticks up.

edit - I have been unable to produce successful results with the revised cbm command, my sticks still hash at default frequency. Cry

CKpool, has an initial connection diff of 1024 or 1042, whichever, once that is met the minimum diff that you set on the worker/management page is sent. If the pool software has determined that the particular worker has exceeded that diff by enough hashrate, over a given amount of time, the minimum will be raised. If the connection is ended, it still takes an appropriate amount of time for that worker instance average share rate to decline, before reaching the user setting under worker/management again.
I think at this point, nearly all pools have at the very least, an initial minimum connection start of 42 diff. Before moving on to anything else.

There basically is no "correct". Stratum never had any way to request a difficulty "officially".

Originally in BFGMiner, --request-diff only supported GBT pools (since only GBT had protocol support for it).

Back in 2013, I extended it to stratum with a new mining.suggest_target extension.
This used a full hex target String to avoid the problems encountered with a difficulty Number (inaccurate, etc).

Then over a year later (2014), cgminer decided to introduce their own --suggest-diff option that was incompatible.
A month later, they changed it, but still left it incompatible.
AFAIK their "justification" for this gratuitous incompatibility is based on some passing ideas slush had, but never added to Stratum himself.
