Download BFGminer 4.4.0. (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/old-bfgminer-4100-gbtstratum-rpc-maclinuxwin64-spondoolies-sp30-626361) My batch file looks like this:

bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o POOL:PORT -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD -d gridseed -S gridseed:\\.\COM11 -S gridseed:\\.\COM13 -S gridseed:\\.\COM14 --set-device gridseed@\\.\COM14:clock=838 --set-device gridseed@\\.\COM13:clock=863 --set-device gridseed@\\.\COM11:clock=875

You can open the Device Manager and find the COM ports of your gridseeds. Use the drivers installed with Gridseed. DO NOT use Zadig. That is only for CGMiner. Just set the clock speeds and find out which have many hardware errors. If you run for 1/2 an hour and none have HW, bump the speeds up a little bit and try again until you start to get them. Then drop the frequency just a little. Frequencies that work are:

800, 813, 825, 838, 850, 863, 875, 888, 900

Thanks, is working great.
One question:
I have 2 GPU HD6870 in my system. And when I run the bfgminer i got the message OCL 0 & OCL 1 disable. This message mean my GPU's are disable right? Or is this means something else?

I just wanted to say a big THANKS! The info in your post got my Gridseeds working in dual mode on Linux in a few hours time. I fought with them for a couple days trying to use Windows and could simply not get them to mine in dual mode whatsoever. Debian did the trick, rolled my own miners from source and blam, mining! Cheers.

ok, if anyone wants to sort out my gridseed i will pay them 0.1btc can give you teamviewer access, im over it, device manager only showing ten of twenty gridseeds, would like a batch file setup to run all twenty.

Please help, what i must do that we gridseed work?

I have windows xp embedded !

SO, using windows XP, I had a gridseed that was declared dead. I disabled the com port in the device manager, re-enabled it, started BFGminer, and it was giving nonsensical unrecognized blah blah blah. I hit "M" and "D" to disable the gridseed, changed the com port number in the device manager, re-enabled the gridseed again in BFGMiner, and voila, it all appears to work again.

HELP! MY gridseed just started showing strange things, "Unrecognized Response" and it was "dead", so I restarted BFGMiner 4.4 and now it just gives me the unrecognized responses, but it's still hashing, just not producing shares. What do I do?!?! PS. I'm not at home at the moment, is there a way to remotely restart it?

someone knows if a g-blade can be autotuned ?

It can't. Each 5 chips is equal to one chip within the miner.

Hi, I have problem with my miner, my cgminer wrote something about dead. I have disconected power cable and reconected it, after that cgminer wrote something about sick. After that no lights are flashing. Is my miner dead or what?

Hi Sandor, sorry to disturb you, I have a WiiBox with the latest V3 firmware (LAG3355_12-RC10g) and now I would like to buy one GBlade, the firmware V3g support Gridseed Blade or only Gridseed Mini? Will be released upgrade in future or this is a EOL project?
Please if the project is EOL could you release an upgrade firmware to revert the wiibox to openwrt or to the original firmware.

Thanks in advance W_M

can someone help me finding a guide on how to run 2 instances of cgminer and determine which one runs the gridseed minis and which one runs the blades?

will even tip if I have to, other threads not being any help

Are you using Windows, Linux, ... ? Typically you would just start it the way you normally do, just use different config files for each instance, and specify your devices.

On Linux its something like this:

"usb": "1:5,1:6,1:7"

where 1:5 etc is bus:device number. Use "lsusb" command to find these numbers.

On Windows it might be tricky because cgminer tends to need hotplug but normally devices keep the same port number so it could still work. Use Device Manager to find COM port numbers.

i will try this out

thank you so much!!

I really appreciate this, I've been looking around for quite a while, props to you suchmoon!

Hey Waldo, did you ever get this to work? I'm trying to configure a similar setup. I was looking at the cgminer 3.7.2 Gridseed ed. readme, and it says you can individually set the frequency for each gridseed unit, and I'm curious if you can also edit the number of chips for each device as well.

D4rkAng3l, in the listings you posted below I see the cgminer binary compiled in the cgminer directory and the minerd (cpuminer) binary compiled in the cpuminer directory.
When you build (compile) something it doesn't delete the source code-- it will all still remain there unmodified, except you will see additional object files (.o) from the compile process as well as the resulting binary.

To run those you need to specify the path to them, for instance ~/usb-miner/software/cgminer/cgminer or if you are already in the cgminer directory specify ./cgminer

If you wanted to install them elsewhere you could add --prefix=/opt/cgminer (for instance) to the ./configure line and then do a "make install" to have makefile create /opt/cgminer and install the binaries in there.

Hello to everybody,

I have 2 GridSeed and I am trying to install it on my RaspBerry (using RaspBian) following the instruction founded on this post but I am finding some problem.

I have download and build cgminer and cpuminer and it seems to me that this process gone ok (I had no error).

By ssh I done the following steps:

1) Enabled the root account:

Code:

sudo passwd root
***
***
exit

2) ssh back in as root and change the associated paths and groups:

Code:

usermod -l miner pi
usermod -m -d /home/miner miner
groupmod -n miner pi
exit

3) Builded cgminer:

Code:

git clone https://github.com/gridseed/usb-miner/
cd usb-miner/software/cgminer
autoreconf -i
./configure --enable-gridseed
make

4) Builded cpuminer:

Code:

cd
cd usb-miner/software/cpuminer
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

Now my doubt are: where these softwares are installed? in the same directory where I builded it or where? I am not so sure that I have correctly installed the software because I have the following situation:

Into the cgminer direcotry I can find the following files:

Code:

Why I still have the source .c file? Is it all ok?

Now what have I to do to start mining with my raspberry? What am I missing?
