The miner seem to be acting a bit weird. It is mining fine for a while and then it restart itself, WU gets lower and the hashrate drops also. I have it on default clocks 100Mhz on Linux Mint connected directly to laptop now. Any suggestions why is this happening? Is there any setting to make it more stable?

It is possibly a power issue. Better to run them using a powered hub such as the Gekko Science 7 port hub. Instead of directly plugged into laptop/desktop/SBC etc.

=================
=Expected Performance=
=================
The expected performance of the NewPac is about 0.228 * MHz = GH.
At the default frequency of 100MHz, the NewPac runs at 22.8 GH.

Rough power usage and efficiency of a NewPac:

=Cooling=
=================
If you run a stick miner, use a cooling fan.

Increased cooling can reduce the chip's overall power usage.

Non cooled sticks are subject to thermal runaway where heat will trigger increased amperage draw increasing heat in a cycle until the unit fails.

Why so serious?

Should I just start it with 500 freq? Will it not burn?

=Basic Q&A / Troubleshooting=
===============

Q. How can I set a different frequency for the R606 vs NewPac vs 2Pac vs the Compac?

cgminer will accept a custom frequency per device type.
--gekko-r606-freq 600 --gekko-newpac-freq 200 --gekko-compac-freq 200 --gekko-2pac-freq 150

Why so serious?

Hello.

I just received my NewPac, started it with the

Code:

./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://jp.stratum.slushpool.com:3333 -u floopers.Gekko -p x --gekko-newpac-freq 100

but it only run about 20Gh/s.

I'm on linux and running cgminer 4.11.1

Can anyone advice me on which parameters to start the miner with to increase the hashrate? I saw the person who sold it to me had it running on 500Mh/s but it seems to high and I don't want to burn the miner.

If you are installing this on a Raspberry Pi, follow the instructions I placed: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.50968875

You would not be using Terminus in your commands for the R606. Rather it's --enable gekko during the build. I would suggest rebuilding in a new folder with the linked instructions and try again. Also one thing to note, the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and prior models only had one USB lane that is shared across the board (ethernet etc) which tended to create a bottleneck. If you are running one R606 and no other devices you may be ok. During my testing of the Pi 3 b+ I could never achieve advertised speeds with my R606's. But I later discovered it was because of the traffic issue (one usb lane) as I had 4 newpacs, 2 r606 and 2 futurebit moonlander 2's running off it. Cheesy

And the script coding would appear as:

Code:

./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://miningaddress:port# -u wallet_address -p miner_password --usb 1:4 --widescreen --gekko-r606-freq 550

You would find your bus:device for the --usb by keying lsusb at a command line. You will see something similar to below:

Code:

mstrozier@raspberrypi:~ $ lsusb
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

Bus 001 Device 009: ID 0403:6015 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd Bridge(I2C/SPI/UART/FIFO)

Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0403:6015 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd Bridge(I2C/SPI/UART/FIFO)
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0403:6015 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd Bridge(I2C/SPI/UART/FIFO)
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 10c4:ea60 Cygnal Integrated Products, Inc. CP2102/CP2109 UART Bridge Controller [CP210x family]
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 1a40:0201 Terminus Technology Inc. FE 2.1 7-port Hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2109:3431 VIA Labs, Inc. Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

For me my R606 is at Bus 001 and Device 004 which is where the --usb 1:4 is from. The others are my newpac's. And the CP210x family are Futurebit Moonlanders.

I'm now running on a Raspberry Pi 4 and on this board there is I believe 3 USB lanes and I have not had any trouble running my devices on it and getting correct speeds etc.

Just downloaded it.
from: git clone github/vthoang/cgminer.git
Followed instructions that came with R606.
Only rcv it in mail earlier this week.

cgminer version is 4.11.1

Are you using one of the 2019 builds, or an older version that only recognizes NewPacs? Remember this device didn't exist before about April.

I have been trying many variations of the command line.
using cgminer -D -T --verbose -o<> -u<> -p<>
reading the output gentrated, it is successfully connecting to the server, and getting acknowledged there.
However, usb_init fails.

on line 8 below, usb scan finds and acknowledges the correct device.
Then on line 12 it reports a mismatch.
And things go poorly after that.

The resulting output is similar using the --gekko-terminus-detect, or --gekko-terminus-freq 100, or neither.

Thanks

This is the strange output:

Finally trying out the R606.
Using Raspbian-Buster on a 3B+.
The cgminer detects the R606 correctly with: cgminer -n
Yet, when trying the full command: cgminer -o <> -u <> -p <> --gekko-terminus-detect
The miner returns "No devices detected."

Start your command line with sudo, "Super User do"

"sudo ./cgminer -o <> -u <> -p <>"

Drop the "--gekko-terminus-detect" as the top post of this thread has no reference, that I saw, to that argument so it must not be needed.

Quote: Also use code tags when post large amounts of reference text from the miner output.

I have two R606, have set triple lights, highest I powered them down, the lights stay on I can't put them in any other Mhz?

How can they be reset?

Did you try pressing the down button? It's just below the up button.

Thanks for the update mstrozier.

Ya we are seeing the problem with the Pi3 as the muxing of the USB ports to a single USB 2.0 port. To quote the manufacturer

Quote

The USB host port inside the Pi[3] is an On-The-Go (OTG) host as the application processor powering the Pi, BCM2835, was originally intended to be used in the mobile market: i.e. as the single USB port on a phone for connection to a PC, or to a single device. In essence, the OTG hardware is simpler than the equivalent hardware on a PC.

as for the pi 4,

Quote

For the Pi 4, a fully-featured host controller drives the downstream USB ports. Downstream USB is provided by a Via Labs VL805 chip - that supports two USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.0 ports. This is connected to the BCM2711 SoC using a PCIe link, which is extremely fast. Therefore, the Pi 4 does not have the speed constraints of previous models, which means very fast datarates, especially when using the USB 3.0 ports.

you can read more here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/usb/README.md

There are a few things we found with the Pi 3B+ during our investigations (these are not a guarantee get it working at higher speeds, just finding we are documenting and though we should share)

1> the Wifi is a separate chip than the Ethernet over USB2.0 Microchip LAN7515 chip. Even though you may get better speeds wired than wifi, your eating USB bandwidth if used wired.
2> There is an issue with USB 3.0 hubs in conjunction with the some USB devices and the Raspberry Pi. A bug in most USB 3.0 hub hardware means that the Raspberry Pi cannot talk to full- or low-speed devices connected to a USB 3.0 hub. USB 2.0 high-speed devices, including USB 2.0 hubs, operate correctly when connected via a USB 3.0 hub so avoid connecting low- or full-speed devices into a USB 3.0 hub. As a workaround, plug a USB 2.0 hub into the downstream port of the USB 3.0 hub and connect the low-speed device, or use a USB 2.0 hub between the Pi and the USB 3.0 hub, then plug low-speed devices into the USB 2.0 hub.
3> because everything is handled by the SoC and a single port USB. limit the pi to as little services as possible and we even recommend overclocking if you are able. The Pi USB2.0 bandwidth is directly proportional to how much load the Pi SoC can handle. If you can disable Xwindows and run via SSH, you will get better performance.

Evening all. Raspberry Pi 4 kit arrived today Grin

and tested both as a NAS and running these miners. I'll be ordering a 2nd soon to do more NAS work as I got mixed results. Ranging from 24MB/s to 118MB/s. Granted tested with a USB 3.1 Flash drive. Should be more stable with a dedicated SSD.

Anyway, in regards to running the gekko newpac's and R606, they work perfectly. After reviewing a little more, it appears the new Pi 4b has 3 USB Buses. Nice improvement. So far, running 1 R606, 4 Newpac's and 2 Futurebit Moonlanders, they achieved proper speeds and clocks. I'm only running 1 R606 at the moment as my other is currently down to be serviced. Below is a screen shot of the current process. Currently running at 600Mhz on volt 5. The newpacs at 450Mhz and the Moonlanders at 700Mhz. Also these are running on Wi-fi on my home 5G network.

Screen shot: https://ibb.co/pvsqy30

Setup: https://ibb.co/TTpVS2n

Happy with results.

**edit**
Played with the overclocks a bit. Still at volt 5 running 650Mhz on the Pi 4. Holding strong. Work is at 99.5%. And hashing at 860Gh/s average. Not bad.

Hi All!

I'm hoping someone can help me. I am running into issues with my 606 and I'm like 99% sure I didn't break it when I took out the stock fan and put in a mega fan ...

Had it running for I want to say a month and a half and the thing blazed with stock fan and extra exhaust fan running on 250w psu. I took the fan plug out completely and have the new fan on external power.

One thing is I recently got an antminer on the network, could my network be the issue? I have tried some improvements with no success.

Grasping at straws since I don't like having to ask peeps ...

My WU is very low which is not usual. My internet searches haven't helped me.

lots of edits but ya, I know the HW is good based on how many times I thought I killed my 2 pacs lol

... have not tested a Raspberry Pi 4 yet...

~~I was going to grab a RP4, but then I saw and I'm going to tinker with https://www.asus.com/au/Single-Board-Computer/Tinker-Board-S/~~

Just wanted to ask if you've heard of this?

Edit: On second thought, I think a Pi4 will be better unless ASUS do a 2019 refresh.
