Hey Con (since I think you've done most of the work for Cointerra devices) - what's up with the 'hidden' command line arguments for Cointerra:

Code:

OPT_WITH_ARG("--cta-load",
set_int_0_to_255, opt_show_intval, &opt_cta_load,
"Set load for CTA devices, 0-255 range"),
OPT_WITH_ARG("--ps-load",
set_int_0_to_100, opt_show_intval, &opt_ps_load,
"Set power supply load for CTA devices, 0-100 range"),

.. later sent in the reset message buffer:

Code:

buf[CTA_RESET_LOAD] = opt_cta_load ? opt_cta_load : 255;
buf[CTA_RESET_PSLOAD] = opt_ps_load

In the ASIC-README, there's a note:

Quote

Cointerra devices come up as CTA devices and currently take no command line arguments.

Is there a reason for the contradictory note in ASIC-README? I noticed they *are* sent in Cointerra's own firmware version of the cgminer startup script.

I feel like I might be giving crap advice over in this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7974265

The details of them were never explained even to me although their requirement was, so I left them as hidden undocumented until cointerra wanted to document them. However they never did. One is the cta device load and the other is the power supply load. They appear to be intuitive in use though what their numbers actually mean is still not described anywhere, even to me.

Antminer U1 Help

Hey guys and girls,

Using CGMINER 4.0.0

Using a Jalapeno and also a U1.

On USB [L]ist devices both will show up.

Bus 1 Device 5 ID: 10c4:ea60 Silicon Labs CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller inactive
Bus 1 Device 8 ID: 0403:6014 FTDI BitFORCE SHA256 SC active

However I am having trouble activating the U1 (assuming that is what is showing up as device 5). When it ask for Device number, am I supposed to put Bus 1 Device 5 (the listed one for U1)? Sorry for the newb question but can't seem to find out why it will not activate and have tried the normal google search, etc.

Thanks,

Fuglie

Greetings,

I've been using cgminer since bitcoins were about $15 and it has always worked fine.

However, after not having used it in some time I attempted to use it once more using my previous working config and version and the newest version with new config and it does not detect any devices.

"No devices detected" is what it says, and it refuses to mine. Other miners pick up my devices ok, but I like CGMiner, I would like cgminer to also pick them up. I'm using Radeon 7970 with the 14.7 RC driver and Windows 8.1 x64 system.

Read the opening post of this thread and the readme. GPU mining was removed a year ago from cgminer, it is only ASIC mining software now.

Making some progress with the Terraminer. I hooked up both boards directly to my PC, installed WinUSB, and then started up version 4.3.5 using the --ps-load 80 parameter since I used to run it at power step 8.

Cgminer recognizes the boards and they get an initial hash rate of about 200g for a second on each board and the over about a minute it goes down to 0.

I get a constant output of checksum bad for each board.

The miner registers on my pool for about 2 minutes and then nothing

Is there a parameter I am missing?

Any suggestions?

Sorry try 4.3.4 as 4.3.5 had the checksum code which is for newer firmware.

I'm sure its what you think it is but if thats avalon chip in that terraminer the one time I saw that was a technobit using its software in a multi coin site (switch pool).

Just make sure that doesn't end up being the reason.

In other news I'd hope they put a check in place for version control like drillbit so you either lock the older device out or use an older code function. I was still in hope newer devices would have a push so they get firmware update on load like my cable card device.

hello, do you know how to setup logging on cgminer with GNU Screen (linux)?

I'm trying redirecting the stderr but cause of screen that won't work.

This doesn't work:

Code:

/usr/bin/screen -dmS cgminer bin/cgminer -c miner_conf.json 2>cgminer.log

Create a script with the redirect in it and call that from screen.

Yes that could be an option but what about using the --monitor option? How could I use it?

PS
adding to cgminer a --log-file option could be really useful

EDIT: solved with the script thanks

/usr/bin/screen -dmS cgminer bin/cgminer -c miner_conf.json 2 | tee cgminer.log

Instead

If you want to append the log file, use "tee -a".

No way with tee too.

Yes! I think that might have done it....thanks!

Good. Here's a special build of 4.4.2 for you without the checksum code as well:
http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/temp/cgminer.exe

Just drop that file into a cgminer 4.4.2 folder overwriting the cgminer.exe

Alot of forks without a table to arrange them on. Makes my head hurt when I try to experiment elsewhere.
