Yes they arrived with Makomk 200 on them.

Would I expect a better result with the dynamic clocking if so where can i find that?

thanks btw, day 2 and the learning continues !

Yes you will get better results with the dynamic clocking bitstream from glasswalker, mine has run for months stable on the glasswalker bitstream at 215-229 m\hash. However there is a problem with Bfgminer where they aggressivly downclock, some sort of wierd bug., if this bug wasent there Id use Bfgminer. I use MPBM Miner instead since thats what Glasswalker built them to run on and it works great other than failover. For whatever reason when MPBM failover accurs a few times the cm1 Downclock and you have to reboot MPBM.

Being newbie, whats the main difference between cg and bfgminer?
I of course want the miner best suited to the cm1 boards.

In brief, cg = original GPU miner bfg was based on, plus old bfgminer FPGA code with various things broken and a few minor things added

These days it usually only makes sense to use BFGMiner.

I use cgminer on my cairnsmore's and it runs flawlessly week after week after week. Am I missing something by not running bfgminer then?

Dynamic clocking.

Plus the usual other BFGMiner improvements (bugfixes, asynchronous share submissions, etc)

asynchronous share submissions was in cgminer by ckolivas almost 2 years ago
https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/commit/a45c54aaf8a0db0951b8c5f3cfc6cd40f678d5e0 <- 2011-06-26

It looks like it was there before that change, but I didn't bother to check.

So you are saying that you've replaced his code with something else or that you removed it from your clone before and finally after all this time caught up to cgminer on that particular aspect?

This suggests you don't have the dynamic clocking bitstream installed on them.

The bitstream came pre-setup from the manufacturer.

The current preloaded bitstreams are Makomk200 so dynamic clocks are not supported.

Like Luke said, just type the command to run bfgminer; i.e.

Code:

sudo ./bfgminer

Ok so I grabbed 3.02 and compiled it

so with 5 x cm1's is this the best launch command or should I add something for the cm1 ?

./bfgminer -S /dev/ttyUSB2 -S /dev/ttyUSB3 -S /dev/ttyUSB6 -S /dev/ttyUSB7 -S /dev/ttyUSB10 -S /dev/ttyUSB11 -S /dev/ttyUSB14 -S /dev/ttyUSB15 -S /dev/ttyUSB18 -S /dev/ttyUSB19

Best to not use any -S and let it autodetect...

I found bitminter was rather inefficient with the handling of my GPU card on my computer as I was not getting the hashing rates when I ran GPUminer.

I have not tried CGMiner but I can confirm that version 3.0.2 works ok with the CM1's, although it has no frequency throttling support for them unlike with ZTEX, there is support for throttling. Though I am not sure if the controller of the CM1 does it!

Greetings to all.
just bought a pair of boards, working with BFGMiner fine, but a I have lot of HW errors. It is normal or something to be done?

Can you post the stat line? Does it report adjusting the clock speed down?

I'm sorry but I now trying bitminter miner. I'll see how it will work. yet one feels that it is more stable. I'll let you know how things will be.

BFGminer worked about 15 hours, during which time one board fell off completely - show that an error and did not work at all. on the second board were about 150 HWerrors

it is loaded with 200bitstream

on the pi you need to do a mod probe then kick off the miner as it doesnt seem to detect on its own
try doing

modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x0403 product=6014

plug in the miner

then from your miners directory run the miner this command should be modified to list your devices, i have included 5 miners

./cgminer --icarus-timing long -S /dev/ttyUSB2 -S /dev/ttyUSB3 -S /dev/ttyUSB6 -S /dev/ttyUSB7 -S /dev/ttyUSB10 -S /dev/ttyUSB11 -S /dev/ttyUSB14 -S /dev/ttyUSB15 -S /dev/ttyUSB18 -S /dev/ttyUSB19

I have 3 running just fine via a raspberry pi. I run modprobe ftdi_sio product=0x8350 vendor=0x0403.....
