Anyone know how to send the API command to change miner frequency?

I'm trying sending the command "setconfig" with params like this "bitmain-freq,400", but it sends me an error config not found.

Hi. I am installing cgminer on my Pi and im following this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8kN9GDsB0U . I'm having some trouble when I run the "sudo ./autogen.sh" command. I get an error Sad

Any suggestions?

Code:

pi@raspberrypi:~/cgminer $ sudo ./autogen.sh
./autogen.sh: 6: ./autogen.sh: autoreconf: not found

We obviously have nothing to do with that video.

Read the README and it will tell you that you didn't install everything you need to install.

Hi folks. In expect of bitcoin core v0.13 with segwit, will the cgminer be updated in part of solo mining? Guess that there may be also a changes in RPC part of bitcoin core.

Unlikely. The demand and utility for plain cgminer and the need for solo mining to work on it these days is somewhat pointless so there's no desire on my part to provide said update unless someone wants to contribute code pushes it to git and asks me to pull their request. The only new hardware coming out that will use official cgminer code will be upcoming avalon hardware and that will be running on low power controllers that won't be capable of solo mining in any meaningful capacity.

Just a quick compliment to CK, Kano, and the other cgminer devs. I recently rebuilt my mining rig based on a Raspberry Pi and a few Asicminer Block Erupters I still had. One compilation with appropriate flags later, and cgminer was happily chomping away and telling me I haven't found a block yet!

It's pretty impressive to have software continue to work with ancient hardware in an environment as fast-moving as bitcoin. Major props and thanks!

THX, also no chance to a successful run?

Let it cool down, try a lower voltage and then start lowering the clock speed on each startup. You might find a speed where it works again, or half works, or it may never work again. They're just not very reliable and don't have much of a life expectancy.

THX, i will test at next ry with this settings:

It's a new rule in the latest gcc that fails the DRIVER_ADD_COMMAND macro in miner.h

A quick work around so you can compile miner.h and usbutils.c is to change 2 places in miner.h and 1 place in usbutils.c

Firstly:
https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/miner.h#L236

Code:

#define FPGA_PARSE_COMMANDS(DRIVER_ADD_COMMAND) \
DRIVER_ADD_COMMAND(bitforce) \
DRIVER_ADD_COMMAND(modminer)

change the above #define to just be:

Code:

#define FPGA_PARSE_COMMANDS(DRIVER_ADD_COMMAND)

(note remove the '\' on the end also)

and Secondly:
https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/miner.h#L236

Code:

#define ASIC_PARSE_COMMANDS(DRIVER_ADD_COMMAND) \
.
.
.

remove all the driver lines below it that you didn't include in your ./configure command.

e.g. if you
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure --enable-icarus

Then the changed result would just be:

Code:

#define ASIC_PARSE_COMMANDS(DRIVER_ADD_COMMAND) \
DRIVER_ADD_COMMAND(icarus)

(a '\' after every line but the last line)

Thirdly in usbutils.c
https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/usbutils.c#L3744

Remove all the "case DRIVER_*" lines but the ones you compiled in e.g. for only icarus, change it to just be:

Code:

switch (cgpu->drv->drv_id) {
   case DRIVER_icarus:
   DEVWLOCK(cgpu, pstate);
   release_cgpu(cgpu);
   DEVWUNLOCK(cgpu, pstate);
   count++;
   break;
   default:
   break;
   }

I too am having the same problem after upgrading from Fedora 23 to Fedora 24 and trying to recompile CGMiner. Some of the research I have done points to it being the newer gcc version 6 in Fedora 24 (was 5.3 in Fedora 23). I have not found a work around though. If I come up with something I will pass it along.

Looks like a C compiler problem.
If following the full compile instructions in the README leads to that problem, then there's some problem with your C compiler.

It means you don't have any mining devices, as it says. Cgminer is just controlling software to allow your computer to control mining hardware attached to it. The computer itself doesn't do the mining.
