Well since you tried with sudo, means its not the udev things. sudo has access to everything.
0403:6014 is the BFL ... so it is being seen by the system all right. Probably something with cgminer... I dont have a BFL so cant help beyond this...

Thank you. I'm going to try on Windows next - just to make sure the hardware is working. Of course I've now hit the USB thing that I need zadig for. Off to read more ASIC-README and do what it says...

you need to restart udev after u added the rules for it to see it. hell just restart the pi for good measure.

does lsusb see the asic?
anything funky in dmesg|tail ?

first see if cgminer sees the new device with sudo . if sudo also doesnt work, then its not permission issue, something different.

Sorry - linux noob here. Thanks for your help. I did restart the pi - twice. My cgminer command line starts with:

Code:

sudo /usr/src/cgminer/cgminer -o http://...

I'm cannot get my new BFL ASIC running on my RPi using cgminer 3.1.1. It has been hashing fine with my BFL FPGA up to now (and it still works if I plug back it in).

I tried these commands from the ASIC-README. The second command was not required (it said the group already existed).

Code:

sudo usermod -G plugdev -a `whoami`

sudo groupadd plugdev

sudo cp /usr/src/cgminer/01-cgminer.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

Code:

[2013-06-13 16:52:30] Started cgminer 3.1.1
[2013-06-13 16:52:30] No devices detected!
[2013-06-13 16:52:30] Waiting for USB hotplug devices or press q to quit
[2013-06-13 16:52:30] Probing for an alive pool

I'm running in the default "pi" account. Can someone please give me some guidance where to look or what to do next? Thanks.

I've been mining for 12 hours and this is all i see on my CGMiner display for P2Pool ...

GPU: 0 10.75M/11.17Mh/s

Stratum from pool 0 requested work restart
[snipped]

I have no new litecoins in my wallet yet. Is this thing working correctly? Am I Mining?

That seems awfully high for scrypt mining on a single GPU. For comparison, my 6870 does about 310 kH/s; the rate you're quoting is nearly two orders of magnitude faster. Are you sure you're actually using scrypt, or are you attempting to use sha256d on Litecoin P2Pool?

I just installed cgminer on a little eeePC netbook because I got a new Erupter and my USB hub for my regular miner hasn't come yet. I must say that once i read the right READMEs the install went pretty quick. i had to get 7zip and that zadig program, but it all worked well. Normally, i only use this machine to browse and read books. now it is hashing too(temporarily).

Thanks guys for a great mining program.

Hello, I wanted to ask cgminer community about "efficiency" parameter. For example: if I have efficiency = 8%, then does this mean that I can potentially find 92%/8% = 11.5 more shares in the same time-frame with proper pool and miner settings? Personally I think this parameter is rather useless, because even if I change share because of new blocks, then probability of finding this new share would either:
1) not change much (if cgminer remembers what hashes he previously computed for previous share).
2) not change at all (if cgminer computation is totally random).

But my friend thinks that we should reduce share difficulty of our pool, so that computations of shares almost never interrupted.

Note: Efficiency parameter is located in pool management [p] -> Information .

Efficiency means nothing any more. It was a metric from the days when getwork was used for providing work and means nothing in the stratum world. I will make sure to get rid of it from the pool information.

You should buy a BeagleBone Black A5 DevKit here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CUP7VWI/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1/175-6597021-3541669?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_r=1GYTEC46C84NSC2J0S4H&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=1535523722&pf_rd_i=B00CHYOLHK and set it up for extra miners. The BeagleBone Black is like a mini computer and will run Linux Grin

Have you tried to plug the 5th board on the computer by itself and start cgminer to see if it works?

yes, all boards work perfekt. I have tested with diferent boards
I have tried with 3 and less boards and used --hotplug 5 option, but hotpluging function dont work absolutly.
only max 4 boards in a time accept cgminer.(((

The --usb command gives you finer control over this. The --device command only takes one set of values now (-d 0-1 instead of -d 0 -d 1) and only works for usb devices since version 3.2.1, and it is a coarse command.

I went ahead and tried it now.

"--usb 5:1,5:2" in one instance
"--usb 3:1,3:2" in the other instance

Both hashing away just fine. Now I can more objectively compare pools.
Thanks,
Sam

Is that all that is necessary to run multiple instances or is there other "secret sauce"? What do the number mean?

i believe the number is bus:device.

so "5:1" means device 1 on bus 5. on linux lsusb shows you the bus and device number for each usb device.

You are correct sir.

It is in the readme too. I missed it when setting up as I was reading the ASIC readme instead of the regular one. So it's good to read both.

And yes that is all that is necessary.

When I press Q to quit CGMiner 3.2.1 most of the time it crash's. Once out of 3 or 4 times does it display the summary when pressing Q.

Win7 32bit running cgminer-nogpu.
Thanks,
Sam

Try closing the window w/o pressing Q.

Then I won't get the summary of stats. I would like to get that information at times.
