HOW TO UPDATE CGMINER on BAMT 0.5.c

So, I took down the post I have and am just going to post what to do here since all of the other steps are here, and only really need one step changed.

During the nano update.sh process, just need to change the ./configure flags.  This will enable scrypt mining, Block Erupters, Avalon and any BFL device.

Code:
export DISPLAY=:0
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
rm *.bin
make clean
cd /
tar xf /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32/icd-registration.tgz
ln -s /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32/include/CL /usr/include
ln -s /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32/lib/x86/* /usr/lib/
ldconfig
cd /opt/miners/cgminer
./autogen.sh
ATISTREAMSDKROOT="/opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32/"  CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure --enable-bflsc --enable-icarus --enable-scrypt --enable-avalon --bindir="/opt/miners/cgminer" --prefix="/opt/miners/cgminer"
make -j3
sync
./cgminer -n

Using BAMT, cgminer 3.1.0 with config:

Quote
{
"pools" : [
   {
      "url" : "stratum+tcp://eu.wemineltc.com:3333",
      "user" : "xxx",
      "pass" : "xxx"
   }
],

"intensity" : "20",
"worksize" : "256",
"kernel" : "scrypt",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "21712",
"gpu-engine" : "1150",
"gpu-fan" : "90",
"gpu-memclock" : "1250",
"gpu-powertune" : "20",
"gpu-threads" : "1",
"scrypt" : true
}

And it fails to run. When I debug it with "-T" key, its output is:
Quote
[2013-05-05 19:03:44] Invalid config option --intensity: Invalid value passed to set intensity
 [2013-05-05 19:03:44] Invalid config option --kernel: Invalid parameter to set_kernel
 [2013-05-05 19:03:44] Started cgminer 3.1.0
 [2013-05-05 19:03:44] Loaded configuration file /root/.cgminer/cgminer.conf    
 [2013-05-05 19:03:44] Error in configuration file, partially loaded.          
 [2013-05-05 19:03:45] Too many values passed to set temp cutoff  


Also when I try to run it with the same options, but from command line:
Quote
cgminer --scrypt --worksize 256 --thread-concurrency 21712 --gpu-powertune 20 --gpu-fan 70 --gpu-engine 1150 --gpu-memclock 1250 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-threads 1 --intensity 20 -o stratum+tcp://eu.wemineltc.com:3333 -u xxx -p xxx
It's ouput is:
Quote
[2013-05-05 19:04:07] ./cgminer: --scrypt: unrecognized option

Please help me.

Since I like to ask questions that apparently have already been answered, yet I am completely oblivious to, is there a way/how do you check what version of CGMiner you are running?

cgminer --version


Proof I dont know squat about Linux/Debian/etc.  Tried this in the root window, no go.  So there is something thats fairly obvious to everyone else that I am completely missing.

You need to include the explicit path to cgminer, if it's not in your PATH variable.

/opt/miners/cgminer/cgminer --version

Gotcha, thanks for the help.

Mobius, will there be instructions on updating to 3.0 now that its out?  I believe this is only to update to 2.7.7.

Did you happen to read the third post in this thread?

Actually yes I did, and it does not specifically say "do this every time to download the newest version and keep up to date".  Sorry, some of us actually look for definite statements instead of inferred ones.  But hey, thanks for your help  Wink

Pardon my ignorance, but in your BAMT conf file, when you declare using cgminer_opts:, do you need the -k phtak --api listen  at the end of that?  I use a similar setup and I dont use those options.  Also, below when you are configuring your GPU, I see that you are enabling it to change your core, clock, and other settings.  Again, I dont do that either.  For my GPU settings I simply enable it, and then enable cgminer for it (cgminer : 1). 

You are redirecting BAMT to the cgminer.conf file and in there is where all of your arguments are and it will get all of its info, nothing else should be needed inside of the BAMT conf.  You dont even need to edit the pools conf file in BAMT, again, cgminer.conf will do all of that for you.

I am not sure if the the -k phatk --api listen info after declaring the use of cgminer is a requirment, I just copy and pasted from the instructions.

I left my previous BAMT conf setting alone so I could easily flip back and forth between the 2 different miners if needed.  I think you are correct, once cgminer is up and running, you no longer need any of the extra stuff in the bamt.conf and you wont need the pools conf either. 

As far as gpumon being used for mining status, i'm not sure if it pulls the settings (temp hi, temp low, etc.) from cgminer.conf or bamt.conf.

Quote from: abracadabra on April 20, 2013, 09:53:48 AM
yes.. looks like gpumon is not getting the info from cgminer via the api.
try testing the api and see if you can get info from it manually

I have adjusted the correct IPs in the api settings in both the bamt.conf and the cgimner.conf.  gpumon now shows live statistics for me. 

Thanks for everyone's help.  Maybe one day, after a lot of experience and even more help from the community, I might actually be smart enough to help someone else out for once. :-D

And one thing more... we now can do all fix in BAMT, there is a new FIX #21 that do a solution to fix #20, so now not is a problem do the fix in row until end.

Here is a screenshot that leads me to believe that cgminer is not working. (should I still be using gpumon if I update to cgminer?)  I think my conf files are what are causing the issue becuase if I revert my bamt.conf to not use cgminer, it mines perfectly.

If it possible my BAMT is not working because I did not start with a fresh copy of bamt 0.5c?  I had already had my machine updated with all updates.  Would this cause an issue?

No.

"How" is it not working?

I am not smart enough to post specific details.  I am fairly confident every step went smoothly, and am guessing the error was my part when updating the BAMT .conf and the cgminer .conf, but I was just copy pasting from this thread.  (I understand this provides absolutely no help to you) Is there possibly a log file or something you could point me towards that I could copy and paste here?

I guess you misunderstand me.

What do you see that leads you to believe that it is not working?  Describe to me in words what you see/feel/think that makes you think it is not working.

Here are the instructions:

This is to update bamt 0.5c to the latest cgminer and allow you to pull update directly from the git repository
bamt 0.5c will only work with AMD/ATI 5xxx and 6xxx cards
bamt 0.5c will not work with AMD/ATI 7xxx cards or nvidia ( seperate instructions for 7xxx cards are available by searching the forums)
burn a new usb with bamt 0.5c
boot into bamt
change password (instructions in bamt forum)
start gpumon
Code:
gpumon

Hit F for fixer to update
update to fix 19 - skip the rest
Hit q to exit gpumon

Isnt configuring the API only really needed if you are running some program that is going to access and collect info for display from BAMT?  I dont use that code.  I guess if you are wanting to track things from outside of your network, then yeah.  But not having a properly configured API wouldnt prevent the system from mining would it?  The API would just fail and not work, but that shouldnt stop the miner from actually connecting to the servers and mining, right?

It is the IP address of the systems you wish to allow to access the API system in that instance of BAMT. W:127.0.0.1 and the IP Address of the Actual BAMT rig itself (I.E. W:192.168.1.31) are necessary for BAMT to work correctly with cgminer. The W:192.168.1.1 is the address of a remote machine you designate to be able to send API commands (read the API-README for more information)

I do not know what the api-allow ips are for.

I need help - everything went smoothly step by step. But my miner is not working.  I am guessing it has something to do with the cgminer.conf file.  The IP address part im unclear about.  Am I suppossed to put my miner's IP address in that field, or is this intended to point the miner to another machine that is running the proxy?

use --no-check-certificate

Okay, so I just downloaded the file in Windows, uploaded it to Dropbox, and then used that address.  Once I did that, everything else went through smoothly.  Now mining on stratum servers.

Thanks.

you don't need to do a git clone, wget of SDK and mother everytime you want to update cgminer.
your script wastes bandwidth.

Hey I never said it was perfect or even that it was ideal. But it is something you can copy and paste and will get the job done. If somebody would make a better script to just copy and paste and go, I'm all for it. But it is alot easier than making your own script for newbs.

Instead of hard coding a separate echo line for each rig, you can do something like this:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
#Add rig addresses to the RIGS variable, one per line
RIGS="192.168.1.99
192.168.1.100

# split on newline

port="4028"

done

Just to clarify... my miners ARE working now, it's just that the hashrate and submitted/rejected shares aren't showing up on the web interface or the main gpumon screen. Lots of other info is... temperatures, fan speeds, volt/mem settings.

Quote from: abracadabra on March 21, 2013, 04:29:17 PM
does gpumon show anything?
did you update mother as described above?
did you do all the BAMT updates minus #20?


As above, yes, and yes.
Is it possible it has something to do with my API settings? Here are the lines I've got in cgminer.conf:

Quote
"api-listen" : true,
"api-network" : true,
"api-allow" : "W127.0.0.1,W192.168.0.100,W:192.168.0.102,W:192.168.0.103,W:192.168.0.104",

blah.100 is my laptop for everyday use, blah.10{2,3,4} are my rigs.

whats the best way to switch pools on a bunch of rigs at once? I think the developer of bamt recommended rsync. Can someone explain how to use rsync or anything really to sync a cgminer config file against several rigs?

Aargh this isn't quite working for me yet.


When I run autogen.sh I end up with the following messages:

Configuration Options Summary:

  curses.TUI...........: FOUND: -lncurses
  OpenCL...............: NOT FOUND. GPU mining support DISABLED
configure: error: No mining configured in

I presume this also happens if I do update.sh instead, but everything scrolls past too quickly. Why can't it find OpenCL? Where should it look? How can I tell it where? This is on a fresh BAMT stick.

ETA: so after reading segabtc's and abracadabra's posts more carefully, and studying update.sh, I ran the command

Quote
ln -s /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32/include/CL /usr/include

... then update.sh again. This at least gets rid of the above problem... now it found OpenCL, GPU mining is ENabled.

BUT: still no mining.  Cry


ETA2; never mind... herp derp. My cgminer.conf was bollixed but it's okay now. Though it's mildly annoying that I can't see any share submission stats on the web interface or the gpumon main screen, only the cgminer screen. If anyone can help with that it'd be shazam.

on a recent git pull (not sure what version, maybe 2.10.5) the make wasn't finding the headers/lib files correctly.
I needed to change the update.sh file a bit to this:

export DISPLAY=:0
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
rm *.bin
make clean
cd /
tar xf /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32/icd-registration.tgz

A bit more info would be extreemly helpful in having someone assist you.
Looks like maybe your cgminer.conf file is bad and cgminer is not running.

do a screen -ls

any cgminer screens running?

Thank you sir! Im not sure what step I messed up on, but I went through it again and all is well!

The only problem is it will not mine on coinlab now, but it does on bitmiter. Maybe because of stratum?

I don't use coinlab, ask Conman in IRC on #cgminer

Re: HOW TO UPDATE CGMINER on BAMT 0.5.c
November 24, 2012, 09:25:17 PM

Here are the instructions:

This is to update bamt 0.5c to the latest cgminer and allow you to pull update directly from the git repository
bamt 0.5c will only work with AMD/ATI 5xxx and 6xxx cards
bamt 0.5c will not work with AMD/ATI 7xxx cards or nvidia ( seperate instructions for 7xxx cards are available by searching the forums)
burn a new usb with bamt 0.5c
boot into bamt
change password (instructions in bamt forum)
start gpumon
Code:
gpumon

Hit F for fixer to update
update to fix 19 - skip the rest
Hit q to exit gpumon


Here we get the file with a working git profile for BAMT

Code:
cd /opt/miners
wget https://eclipsemc.com/files/cgminer_git.tar.gz
tar xvf cgminer_git.tar.gz
cd cgminer
git pull

You'll need to edit update.sh
Code:
nano update.sh

replace the content of update.sh with:
Code:
export DISPLAY=:0
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
rm *.bin
make clean
cd /
tar xf /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32/icd-registration.tgz
ln -s /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32/include/CL /usr/include
ln -s /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32/lib/x86/* /usr/lib/
ldconfig
cd /opt/miners/cgminer
./autogen.sh
ATISTREAMSDKROOT="/opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32/"  CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure --enable-bitforce --bindir="/opt/miners/cgminer" --prefix="/opt/miners/cgminer"
make -j3
sync
./cgminer -n

add the following at the end of update.sh
Code:
sync
./cgminer -n

save the file (Ctrl-x,y)

compile cgminer

Code:
./update.sh

replace mother as per https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.msg1092936;topicseen#msg1092936

Code:
cd /opt/bamt
cp mother mother.old
rm mother
wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/temp/mother
 chmod +x mother
sync
coldreboot

re-login to bamt
switch to the cgminer directory

Code:
cd /opt/miners/cgminer

create a cgminer.conf if you do not already have one - format is explained in the cgminer forum - a working sample is in the next post below. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1355667

start gpumon
Code:
gpumon

enter c to edit the config file
make sure you have the following lines in the configuration file in the section after the line (formatting is important)

Code:
settings:

  cgminer: 1
  cgminer_opts: --config /opt/miners/cgminer/cgminer.conf -k phatk --api-listen --api-network --api-allow W:192.168.1.1,W:192.168.1.31W:127.0.0.1
You'll need to edit --api-allow W:192.168.1.1,W:192.168.1.31,W:127.0.0.1 for your specific ip addresses you want to allow access to the cgminer API

also configure the gpu#: sections according to your needs and include

Code:
gpu0:

  # remove disabled: or set it to 0 to actually use this card..
  cgminer: 1
  disabled: 0


Once you have configured and tested the bamt usb key make another image file of the USBkey and save it to make additional usb keys for your rigs and/or when the actual USBkey wears out (always keep a spare ready to use) and test it!
