I see someone hit a block with the USB stick miner running 4.1.12? What is the latest cgminer for R606?

Thanks

-> morgen, ist heute, schon gestern <-

the Raspi WH got just one processor, so you should run make without j-2.
try it with make only.

Hello, I have a Raspberry Zero WH with 7 port RSHTECH USB 3.0 hub.
Raspbian Pi OS Lite 32 bit. 4x GekkoScience NewPac 22 bis 45 GH/s

Everything runs normally

sudo apt-get-Update sudo apt-get Upgrade -y sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git libusb-1.0-0-dev libusb-1.0-0 libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev screenlibtool automake pkg-config libjansson-dev mkdir -p git/vthoang; cd git/vthoang Git-Klon https://github.com/vthoang/cgminer.git CD-CGminer CFLAGS="-O2" ./autogen.sh --enable-gekko

Then "make -j 2" comes with an error message. c
Collect2: error:ld gab 1 Exit [2]: 中重 ?? [Makefile:893: cgminer] Error 1 makel21: m/home/pi/mining/newpac/cgminer" make1l: [Makefile: 1837: rein-rekursiver Error 1 makel1l: /home/pi/mining/newpac/cgminer" machen: [Makefile:706: alle] Fehler 2

And the installation stops.
Does anyone have a solution?

Hi all, had a few issues when cold starting one of my r606's, it will often come up with BM1387:11+ then restart a few times before showing BM1387:12+.
Tried everything, power leads, connections etc.
Today I found it in its usual state of OFF found 0 chip(s).
Tried restarting her but all I get is found 0 chip(s). | OFF.
Any suggestions?

1. check voltage pf power, etc. if power is not work, chip will not work. This is major cause.
2. check usb port on unit or on your pc. if usb is not work, __usb_init() will not find chip.
3. check if green light on the stick is on. no light, usb stick is damaged.
4. plug out 5 usb sticks, only left one usb stick, check which usb stick is wrong.
5. remove cgminer, then, re-install cgminer. when code got damaged.
6. run debugging to trace error, check total_devices? check __usb_init() function.
7. the 0-rules must written into linux. Read README.

This is a Terminus r606 that has failed (no green light) not newpac usb stick miner.
Voltage is fine; swapped working terminus r606 power and usb with the non working unit, no change.
I do not think cgminer would be the problem as 10 x newpacs and 1 x terminus r606 work like trojans without fail.
Interesting you should mention the usb as it has hot glue all over the usb plug unlike the working one with none.
Got a gut feeling something has failed in a big way on this one.

I have a Terminus R606 (BM1387) that stopped working recently. Can't seem to figure out what's wrong with it. The orange LED comes on solid and cgminer seems to find the board and then it just keeps resetting.

These R606 are really bad. They took our money and run. Absolutely no customer service.
Mine kept restarting as well. I replaced the big capacitor and it helped but never as good as new.
Be careful no messing up the tiny resistors while soldering they are hard to put back in place

Last time I had a truck load of that happening (a couple of weeks ago) it was too hot.
Settled down later when the room was cooler.

Thanks for the reply. The errors I am getting are from a cold start.

Look on page #1

I see the chart with the mhz, gh/s, and watts. It doesn't have amps though. But I guess if i take 300mhz = 6.795w / 5v = 1.359a

My hub has 2.1a per port, x 5v = 10.5w. Based on the chart, I'm guessing 10.5w would be around 490mhz. That would explain why 1 or 2 sticks start lagging behind when I run them at 500mhz.

Sorry, I'm new to all this, but I'm starting to get the hang of it.
Thanks!

I saw this chart in the compac F thread. Is there something similar for the Newpacs? (maybe not as high) Im trying to figure out how many amps for each frequency. I think im maxing out my hub.
Thanks

Personally i wouldnt even try it without some sort of active cooling.

OK - good to know, thank you. I shall get hold of a suitable cooler and try it!

N00b question, potentially..

I bought a used (I know, I know) NewPac and suspect it's b0rked but just want some advice on how to confirm or otherwise. CGMiner sees it OK and it starts work, but with passive cooling it very quickly overheats (90 degrees plus after 10 minutes) even if I restrict it to 50Mhz. I'm happy to add some active cooling but I'd prefer to do some diagnostics first to make sure I'm not throwing good money after bad - so, what can I look for?

Thanks in advance.

I have acquired a Pi 4 8gig and would like to run my newpac's and r606 through it.
I understand the install and version of cg miner is designed for Raspbian - Kernel version: 4.4.
Is there an install for 'PI OS'? My searches so far have been fruitless as was my attempt to compile it using the current instructions.
I also tried one of the Raspbian images from here https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_lite/ however this did not work either.
Anyone know which one works with the PI 4?
Thanks in advance.

Here are the instructions I used to install CGMiner on my Pi 4. I just used the Raspbian OS that came with it.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.50968875

I've gone through these installs on my PI4 (and PI3b) and latest Raspbian OS and the posted CGMiner package. I constantly get errors from the make -j 2;

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [Makefile:907: cgminer] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/pi/miner/cgminer'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1896: all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/pi/miner/cgminer'
make: *** [Makefile:810: all] Error 2
pi@RockPi:~/miner/cgminer $

I've tried several Raspbian OS versions and keep getting the same errors when compiling CGMiner..

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [Makefile:907: cgminer] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/pi/git/vthoang/cgminer'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1896: all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/pi/git/vthoang/cgminer'
make: *** [Makefile:810: all] Error 2
pi@raspberrypi:~/git/vthoang/cgminer $

Same problem here however this version https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_lite_armhf/images/raspios_lite_armhf-2021-05-28/ with the slub_debug=FP added to the cmdline.txt works.

Thank you pkspks.
