I'm seeing a problem with 3.8.1 on an RPi running Rasbian. Twice in the last 24 hours cgminer has stopped running. It appears as if the "q" key was pressed even though I'm sure it was not. This hardware has run solid for weeks before I upgraded to 3.8.1.

Here is a link to instructions. Scroll down to the section that says Rpi freezing up.

Thanks but that is not the problem I'm seeing. My RPi does not freeze or lock up. Instead it appears as if the 'q' key was pressed and cgminer quits for no apparent reason. It happened again last night. I will revert to an older version.

BTW - when getting source from github, now do I request an older version (such as 3.7.2)?
I can't just go back to the ancient version I was using (3.4.2).

Use a tag
git checkout v3.7.2

or whatever

Has anyone tested out the 20131112-unstable avalon firmware?

It's unstable on my b3. The latest stable version for mine is 3.6.6, it runs strong but requires daily restarts due to filling up the very small ram on the tplink.

I haven't had any problems with raspbian and 3.8.1 on my end so far. I've got four instances of cgminer up on the same Rpi with each built for different hardware. After I did an update & upgrade last week my Rpi started crashing when ever I tried mining on it. The fix was to turn on some kind of memory debugging feature.

Chad

Hmmm... Thanks for the info. I did to this and perhaps that's the culprit?

Code:

sudo apt-get update

What is the "memory debugging feature" that you turned on?

I don't know if it's me or not.
Unzipped latest version of cgminer, and tried running cgminer.exe with --scrypt and it comes up with unrecognized parameter ?

Went back to 3.7.2 and all is fine. Can't seem to mine LTC with 3.8 c:

I think you missed this a few pages back... https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3538435

We discuss it further here:
https://forum.litecoin.net/index.php/topic,6925.0.html

Others are going to pick up the pieces and continue development here: https://forum.litecoin.net/index.php/topic,6994.0.html

Think for yourself

Ok, the max number of USB miners I can get to work on Win7 is 60. The max I can get on Win Vista is 50. I wish I knew why that might be?

Windows users with issues on 3.8.1 can just use 3.7.2. For most drivers it is trivially different except for the one change that might be the cause of your problems.

I find I have to exit and restart my BFL Singles using 3.8.1 at least once a day or they sllooowwww down. I don't recall that happening with 3.7.2, I'll go back and try 3.7.2 again.

LTC

I informed the authors.
I modified an old version of cgminer (3.2.0) to use it with FPGA boards for Litecoin. Source here:

Cryptanalyst castrated by his government, 1952

I got an unexpected result in a 3.8.1 test, possibly of interest, posted as an update a page or so back. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3547969

Edit: update - AMU5 went zombie about 7 hours into the present 3.8.1 test (Win7 64 executable). It stayed as AMU5 when unplugged and did not recover when replugged. A "Q" and restart fixed it - somewhat brute force though.

Such a pitty to see scrypt mining gone.
Majority of Alt Coins is scrypt based - would there be any plans to support it again in the future?

GPU bitcoin mining doesn't make sense for a while now and it's obviously the way to go...

No

Quote from: -ck on November 10, 2013, 06:25:34 AM

I am making a conscious decision and taking a stance to only support bitcoin by doing this and will consider all discussions regarding alternative cryptocurrencies as offtopic from here on.

That should have already make it clear what my position is regarding altcoins. Deprecating GPU mining wasn't to get rid of the GPU bitcoin mining code.
