Is anyone using BFGMINER with their Jupiter? What benefits (if any) compared to CGMINER?

It seems no one is interested in external binaries any more, but just in case they are, here is a binary for the knc devices based off the latest cgminer 3.7.0 code. There are no performance advantages for knc devices but there are networking and work scheduling fixes for people that have had issues (eg difficulty connecting to eligius or system stopping work entirely). As per previously, you'll have to ssh into and copy the binary to your device to run it.

Bugfix update to 3.7.1. Same download location.

Two firmware updates for me so far. Didn't do that, bot even half of it. Not had a problem

1. DL the update
2. On the KNC miner interface click update and select that download and apply it.
3. Click restart cg miner in the KNC interface.

Nothng else at all. Checked it after in Putty, but all was fine. lol

So after you upload and apply the firmware, it returns to a screen that says restart miner, is that the link you clicked or did you go back to the home screen, then go the the "Mining" and click on "Restart CGMiner" on that page?

Cheers for the link! Getting some good results so far after changing difficulty but I need to let it run a few hours to see if it's all good. After reseting the stats - takes a while to see your average.

Tried 256
Goes to around 490

Tried 512
Goes to around 500

Yep. New firmware not that good for my hosted miner. I'll leave it at 512 and check back in 8 hours and see how it goes.

The hashing speed on my hosted miner is slowly dropping after the new firmware (which they automatically roll out to every hosted miner).

Gone from 560 > 550 > 540 > 530 > 520 > 510 > 500 > 490 > 478 > 463

over the course of 24 hours. Posted about it few hours ago on here and it was hovering then around 490 and now it's averaging at 46x~

Getting those numbers from btcguild. I'm going to try change the difficulty and see what I get.

Previously was on "128" and getting 560GH/s average.

heres a good read for mining difficulty.

my knc page and putty window displays that my miner is mining at 566Gh/s with 2.2% HW errors, yet on BTCGUILD page my miner is only showing 531Gh/s and fluctuates.

anyone know why this is ? BTCGUILD hash rate display values has been fluctuating lately while my putty and knc page is consistently displaying 566Gh/s.

here are some photos for reference.

putty:


knc page:






BTC GUILD page that displays lower hash rate and fluctuates:


edit: im running the newest 0.98.1 firmware version.

Same here. Not a single problem with the firmware from the start. Only did incremental firmware upgrade with this method(except switching from 0.97 to 0.96:D), but nothing fancy. Stable as a rock!

0.98 works better for me than 98.1

I see there is a lot of people how stuck with firmware upgrades. I write it how I do because I never had a problem after upgrading.

1. ssh to the miner

2. shut down cgminer.

3. run enablecores

4. click reboot

5. ssh into the miner

6. shut down cgminer

7. make the upgrade

8. I never click on reboot, just shut down the miner, wait a minute

9. turn on the miner

10. go to ugprade page -> ctrl+f5

11. if you like install bertmod.

Hope it helps for someone.

One sentence about cooling.

I made a fuckin good cooling for the jupiter, I could cool it down until 26-28C on max load verey time. But Phoenix has right, these boxes runs better warm. For me not 70C but between 45-55C. Less hw and a bit better hash.

do you mean just executing reboot cmd?

when u click reboot on the web interface reboot.safe will be executed instead

Code:
#!/bin/sh
i2cset -y 1 0x24 0xb 0x6b
i2cset -y 1 0x24 0x16 0
reboot

i really don't know which kind of settings i2cset cmds are performing, but my gut says that they should be useful, what do you think?


Yes I would have thought if you don't reboot after the firmware upgrade then the firmware isn't actually installed, yes maybe cgminer gets updated but nothing else.

Sorry guys but I'm not a linux expert....

There's a link after the upgrade proces "click to reboot"

I've tried it a few times but I'm alwas had bad hasrates. So after the upgrade I don't click it just shut down the power then turn it back on...

Exactly, so effectively as you are not running the proper reboot command it might not be updating the firmware, probably a good thing in your case, you are just getting the updated miner.

Hmm.. I think I might try it Smiley

I'm trying Firmware 0.98.1

Just to check, after installing it the Upgrade page still reports:
Current firmware revision: 0.98

Did they forget to change the version number reported?  Or did I not install it right?
