Topic: CGminer v3.8.5 on Broadcom based DD-WRT / OpenWRT (Read 77138 times)
Is this still a thing unearthed a couple bitmain u1 or 2 I can’t remember what they are and my thoughts went to plugging them into my desktop and then I had the idea rather than clutter my area I remembered the usb port on my newish 5 years oldish asus router and wondered if it was possible and seeing this thread has sparked my interest even greater anywho I’d be shocked if I got a response here seeing how old the thread is.
Can anyone make this firmware 0.4b-4.0.0 to work with Technobit Asic & USB Erupters (AntMiners) ?
Is there any chance of getting a version with support for Bitmain Antminers?
BTW, the 3.8.5 binary runs on my Asus RT-N16 (Broadcom BCM4718) but not my Linksys WRT-SL54GS (BCM4704).

The Bitmain S3 is running OpenWRT -- BARRIER BREAKER (Bleeding Edge, r38031) - Atheros AR9330

Just discovered this thread. cgminer on dd-wrt routers sounds awesome!
I picked up a 2nd hand Netgear D6300 and installed dd-wrt on it today. I believe it has a Broadcom chipset. Will it support this cgminer distribution?
Another thing I'd love to do with my router is to run a full node. (I can connect a USB drive so space is not an issue). But hey, cgminer is a good start!

I don't think the cpu of the router has the power to run a full bitcoin node. Maybe P2Pool but i can't tell you how

No, I removed all scrypt code.
P_Shep,
Can you compile a newer version with the -scrypt option? It is not available in the builds I've tested.
Thanks

Errr.. Scrypt requires a GPU. You've seen many routers with a GPU?
Also, The newer version don't even have that anymore, CK removed quite some versions ago.
Cgminer should be able to load that onto the boards?

Maybe stick with 3.6.3. Not sure there's much advantage with 3.8.5
I think there were a few changes in temp cuttoffs with 3.8.5, but not a major deal. You have a link for 3.6.3? Please and Thank You.

Hmm, after 8 days or so without problem, suddenly bad things are happening.
Might have to go back to 3.6.3 also.

I picked up a WNDR3700v4 for $30 a few days ago, but didn't realize it's an Atheros mipseb SoC, not a Broadcom MIPSEL chip.
So then I got a WNR3500Lv2, which will be here in a few days. It's about the only broadcom MIPSEL I could find with 128MB RAM, 128MB Flash, and still only $30 on fleabay.
Maybe things will go smoother this time.
Should I start with your suggested 3.6.3, or go with the newest 3.8.5? It'll only be controlling SC Singles.

cgminer_3.8.5 running without a problem! Loving it
uptime on router 8 hrs, still running and uses very little resources. 3.8.5.
What router model and what firmware if you wouldn't mind sharing.E3000 (WRT610Nv2 converted to E3000)+ KONGMOD 22200M + OTRW2
I also noticed that this optware was loading transmission_daemon which i had to disable the service as well as edit the /opt/etc/init.d/K90transmission and comment out line #129 which would run a gunzip process at 100% cpu at start.
Running for just shy of 5 days now for me.
Getting a few 'BAS0: empty result...', but not too many.

Update. Stability problems. Log file shows this as error:

Over time this would cause the router to reboot or force the service to restart. Lots issues with router as well (attempting to use VPN was becoming a problem).
Rolled back to 3.6.3.
I'm running Kongmod 22200M + OTRW2.
I tried unsetting the path and after running cgminer it prints out the semwait error then exits.
No difference when I run: service cgminer start.
This is what I get when listing the usb devices:
root@DD-WRT:~# ls -l /dev/usb/tts/
total 0
crw------- 1 root root 188, 0 Jan 1 1970 0
Any ideas about what's wrong?
No idea at all. That's the set up I have. My RT-N16 is running Kong mod build 21395M and OTRW2.
And tty won't list anything, the drivers aren't installed or used anymore. cgminer communicates directly with the device via libusb.
