For only Bitfury USB Sticks i don't need this?

I found the same problem.
Also massive HW errors at 225
At 200 with CG the HW error drops.

That's not the same problem and it isn't a bfgminer issue; it's the stick. You need to turn up the voltage a tad, check out the compac support thread.
My problem is that it doesn't matter what freq I specify, the sticks only run at 225 (stock) on bfgminer.
As I said, I have the same problem..... with BFG the sticks run at 225. with or without the frequency setting and with any hex number.
With CG the frequency number works.
Gotcha, so your post was two parts. I misread your second HW error issue as what you were referring to.

Hello, i have a a Debian System on my Pi:
But i can't install the Bfgminer on my system?
Anyone have an idea?

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?
October 01, 2015, 01:34:44 AM
again ty
at first ctrl+a+d wouldn't work then i read that link you gave me, i had to make two screens for it to work, BFG 5.3 is mining on my S5 on it's own with no PC or PI holding open that screen .
For those wondering or you want to try it, it works great but you will need to use something like
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ms-miner-antsp-monitor-v52-alertsautomassscheduled-rebootmobile-miner-596178
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cryptoglance-v21-open-source-self-hosted-multi-rig-monitoring-tool-569924
if you want a GUI, right now you can see it inside the S5 but no monitoring but those program can give you all the info that is needed till then.
Looking for more to be done , like having it integrated into the S5
...till then i can use other GUI programs to see the temps, Hw error etc but no fan speeds yet.
but it seems to use PWM FANS like it normally does.
once again ty . i plan to get you another donation soon.
PS : and ofc if you turn off/reboot the S5, why bitmain, did that makes no sense, it reverts to the Default firmware you have to reload BFG etc .

Look up GNU Screen - it's already installed on the S5.
September 30, 2015, 07:13:20 PM
hey anyone got complied version of BFG for the S5 i can give a try , i can't figure out how to compile one.
http://luke.dashjr.org/tmp/code/bfgminer-ants5-299e2f7.tbz2Code:
tar -xjvpf bfgminer-ants5-299e2f7.tbz2
cd bfgminer-ants5-299e2f7
/etc/init.d/cgminer.sh stop
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD ./bfgminer --queue 8192 -S bitmain:auto --set btm:layout=32:8 --set btm:timeout=3 --set btm:clock=350 --set btm:reg_data=0d82 --set btm:voltage=x0725 -c /config/cgminer.conf
ty man it's actually pretty sweet even in the shape its in now works great. now i just got figure out how to make the screen sty up and let it run a while with bfg on it's own with no pi or pc. but ty it's nice.

Kindly Help me, Antminer u1 seen on cgminer, but not seen on BFGminer.. what can I do? 
If it's seen on cgminer, then you Zadig'd it. Need to find some way to undo that and get back to the official driver.

Just a quick update: there is now an "ants5" branch on GitHub that is working on the S5.
This is based on the Bitmain code, and I still plan to do a lot of cleanup and refactoring before a release, but it does work at least.
To use it, you will need to compile it for the S5 and run something like this:
bfgminer --queue 8192 --api-listen -S bitmain:auto --set btm:layout=32:8 --set btm:timeout=3 --set btm:clock=350 --set btm:reg_data=0d82 --set btm:voltage=x0725
No promises these will be the final parameters yet.
(Anyone happen to know what reg_data is/refers to? Or how voltage is encoded?)

Hello Luke.
Does this work with bfg? I want to use my S3+ to mine altcoin sha256 solo i found this on http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/38502
simplest with bfgminer.
Run BFGminer on the same computer as Bitcoin Core with the following configuation, it won't need any further settings altered or configured (it gets the RPC password automatically on launch).
bfgminer --stratum-port=3333
BFGminer will launch, and retrieve the information needed for solo mining.
Now using coinbase address 1PkNBPBGEmvoMFbwRT5ky3XXVNstJnJ4c1, provided by pool 0
Network difficulty changed to 49.4G (353.6P)
Pool 0 http://localhost:8332/#getcbaddr#allblocks alive
Long-polling activated for http://localhost:8332/#getcbaddr#allblocks (getblocktemplate)
Added local bitcoin RPC server on port 8332 as pool 0
Probing for an alive pool
Pool 0 http://localhost:8332/#getcbaddr#allblocks alive
You're now ready to solo mine against Bitcoin Core, you just have to point your antminer at the IP address of the computer running BFGminer, and the miner should show up in the top section of BFGminer with its hashrate showing as "PXY" (stratum proxy). Any blocks will be paid out to the coinbase address shown in BFGminer, which is a new one generated from your wallet.

so you got BFG and Windows IoT working, I haven't really tried yet been waiting for more to be done with it on PI 2 but may now .
and i would think down load the BFG zip file it is at 5.3 and complied all ready then use the BFG.exe in Windows IoT on a Pi2 . can't say i haven't tried yet . not sure if loads like a normal windows GUI would then click the bfg.exe.
No, I got it to compile (or at least give me a binary) however, it does not run.
No GUI, powershell.

O.K., 1st things 1st. I know this is not something any normal person would do but I wanted to try it.
I failed. I am now wondering if anyone ever got it to work.
So, Microsoft supports Windows 10 on the RPi2
https://ms-iot.github.io/content/en-US/GetStarted.htm
So I decided to install it and get BFGMiner to run on it.
After not getting BFG to compile time after time after time, I did something (and I don't know what) and it worked.
So I tried to run it. Nothing, nothing at all happens.
So I gave up, will try again later when I have time.
Has anyone had any luck doing this?

anyone have any idea why my miners are declared sick and then dead? I'm trying to solomine with a blackwidow and 4 furys. Sometime on other pools the Furys will get sick but not for long and the Black Widow never does unless i solomine with i just recently discovered.
