Good day,

after few day with Bfgminer i must say that the best mining software I've used so far, except the problematic installation on the raspberry (libjansson-dev?).

for example the configuration from the Bfx2 during the operating...

But i have another question, i run another oscam server on the raspberry B+ and have at two USB connection two cards reader (/dev/ttyUSB0 + 1), I can exclude from the scan?

Quote
"scan" : [
  "amu:all",
  "bfx:all"
],
"set-device" : [
  "amu:clock=x0a81",
  "bfx:osc6_bits=53"
]

or do I have to manually exclude?

Quote
"scan-serial" : [
"/dev/ttyUSB2",
"/dev/ttyUSB3",
"/dev/ttyUSB4",
"/dev/ttyUSB5",
...
],


one last wish would be the support of the miners HEX8 of technobit, there is no chance for a HEX Batch as in Cgminer of technobit, or the driver directly from technobit?

regards

In regards to running bfgminer, at present do you have to run using SUDO to get the software to recognize the devices?


And regarding the technobit devices, the devices themselves don't quite conform to the standards for the communication protocol they "use". That is to say when plugged in and showing as a /dev/tty{USB|ACM}### when they are opened to start communicating they misbehave. This is why they're not presently supported

Are there any plans to add it to the Open Wrt version or any other version or are the Gridseed Orbs to old to bother with supporting them?  Huh

The demand for mining SHA on the GridSeed ASICs is extremely low and is not supported in anything newer than the 5-chip Orbs, so it's not something I have planned. Contributions are always welcome though and it should now be possible to mine both SHA and Scrypt in once instance with BFGMiner 5 (previously this required two miner instances even with a miner driver that supports it).

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.  Grin

so question, I know that BFG works with the gridseed 5 chip pods for scrypt mining. What about dual mode with the gridseed device?  I am pretty sure the first comment to come my way might very well be why would you want to do that.  I realize profit for sha/scrypt mining on the little buggers is nonexistent. I am just at war with the pc at the moment trying to do it.  currently I am running cpu&cgminer to accomplish this, but it is not getting the results i think it should be.

No it's not currently supported in BFGMiner.

At firtst THX for the successfull miner Wink

the miner runs very good and stable on my PI, but has this massage any importance?

THX and regards

What is the command you used to run bfgminer? As well as os?

****EDIT: found earlier post from you with details

My guess would be that's from the bfx driver attempting to open the antminer devices?

AFAIK only the DualMiner ever supported SHA2, and on the GridSeed devices, the PCB design was such that SHA2 overheated it.
In any case, the BFGMiner driver for gridseed only supports scrypt, and nobody has mentioned plans to add SHA2 support, so unless you're prepared to write/contribute code, you won't get very far with that Wink

Hello,

you know about when the Bfgminer support the Technobit HEX8A1 miner?

regards

... &  other Technobit hardware.
Only support for HEX16A is planned at this time, and possibly only for Mac/Windows since they're incompatible with Linux.
We'll need samples of the newer hardware to support them (although maybe it's possible they use the same interface and would just work).

forgive me for forgetting, what is it about them that makes them incompatible with linux?
I don't entirely remember at this point...

After a reinstallation of libjansson the BfgMiner run with my BFx2 Bitfury but at the same time the Bfgminer do not scan my:

8 x BFx2 Bitfury
2 x Antminer U2+


I'm not familiar with the bfx settings, but

Try this:

Code:
"scan" : [
  "amu:all",
  "bfx:all"
],
"set-device" : [
  "amu:clock=x0a81",
  "bfx:osc6_bits=53"
]

All I can say is your OS appears to be broken.

He needs to set up the environment before trying to compile bfgminer.

I'd suggest you read the README file and sequentially and carefully follow the instructions section of setting up the developement environment before you try to compile.
I have not done it on rPi, but used BFGMiner instructions for setting up MinGW on windows and it works a treat. All the errors that you are encountering indicate that your environment is not set up correctly, and posting each error as you encounter it may simply bamboozle whoever is trying to help.
I know for sure you'll encounter compilation errors that need Luke-Jr to address, but if you keep crying wolf when there is none, then when that wolf does turn up you may not get the help you require!

Why are you trying to install debs manually? Did you run aptitude update before starting??
