Hi.
I built bfgminer from source (git from a couple of days ago) for my ARM based QNAP NAS (linux). It's version 3.1.4.
I have my NAS connected to a dlink USB hub and 7 USB eruptors plugged into that.
with no options returns:
I have tried :
as well as trying it with -G to turn off GPU mining but with no luck.
Here is the device output from bfgminer -D -T -d?
THis is the configuration optins summary
and this is my dmseg | tail:
Any help/pointers from anyone on what I might be doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.
Is it something to do with libudev.detection?
I am finding it difficult to understand the correct way to configure the new auto-detection for USB BE's. Everyone seems to do it differently.
I know if no mining devices are found it's a USB driver problem possibly? But how to fix that on linux? (not ubuntu(ipkg based system)) (I built most of the bfgminer dependencies from source)
Cheers!

Hey Luke, I just wanted to say thanks for making a great miner. I was using cgminer with 25 block erupters and kept having multiple "zombies" after a short while, so far running your program they are all running smoothly.
August 21, 2013, 01:49:14 PM
thx, but thats the problem; - I'm on Linux..
There's still many possibilities:- You could try CGWatcher in Wine (not tried it myself, and it needs .NET 4.0, but it may work)
- You could use this python based Miner Monitor https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cgminer-monitor-simple-monitor-script-for-cgminer-in-python-alerthttpconsole-232232, not tried it myself, but it sound popular
- You maybe able to use this smartphone App (Windows, iOS & Android) so you can control it on the move http://www.mobileminerapp.com/, again not tried myself
- Search this subforum for monitor, there are quite a few
- Or just use Kano's (CGMiner Co-Author) simple script here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2966960

I am unable to get my BFL LS running on arch. I have libusbx installed but it still won't detect it. I have been poking around and seeing that FTDI is currently not working, although bfgminer moved away from FTDI, right, so it doesn't matter? Any reason why this might not be working? Thanks!

I installed Bfgminer 3.1.4 and everything was running fine.
I was tinkering around trying to build bitcoin-qt from source and changed a few things, now I get a bus error: 10 when I try to run Bfgminer 3.1.4 @ command prompt (terminal) in Mac OS X 10.8.4
How do I fix it? I tried restarting, reinstalling and NOTHING seems to work... I am stuck using Mac Miner for now...

Seems to be an issue with Bfgminer, ran it once on a separate system (10.7 instead of 10.
and after shutting it down and restarting it, I get the same bus error and NOTHNG seems to fix it... What gives?
Did you by chance unplug and replug an erupter?
Have a look at your config file. /Users/*yours*/.bfgminer/bfgminer.conf . It is hidden so you may need to use Shift-Command-G from Finder to get there. There are some 'odd' configs in there such as kernel location that came from the repository during the brew pull/compile. Delete/rename the conf file and restart BFGMiner. Once I did that, all was right with the world. I recreated the problem and solution on 10.7 and 10.8. I hope it helps.

Can anyone currently connect to bitminter using stratum?
I am being told stratum protocol is not supported or disabled in libcurl. Which is nonsense.

Remove the --temp-cutoff commandline or "temp-cutoff" from your config file.
was not so goodafter an hour it was rest, sick and stopped completely
have the original "temp-cutoff" in config file again
August 21, 2013, 08:04:25 AM
Remove the --temp-cutoff commandline or "temp-cutoff" from your config file.
thx I have erased the line with --temp-cutoff from confignow
Code:
BFL 1: 65.0C
is 65 - 67 ok?
TIA
You can set a temp-cutoff (85 seems like a good value), but note BFGMiner has to shut it off entirely when it goes above it.
Do I use the conf file OR the .bat file or do I need both?
Generally one or the other.

bfgminer 3.1.4 changed the default storage location for the bfgminer.conf file.
Err, no it didn't... O.o;;used to be stored in ~/bfgminer.conf
O.o
{facepalm}
So, I've amended the bfgminer.conf file removing the pools I don't want and saved it using all files and the .conf extension and yet the pool still appears when I restart bfg.
do I just have to amend each time i have to restart bfg?
It sounds like you're somehow starting bfg with these pools on the commandline.do I just have to amend each time i have to restart bfg?
The config file won't remove pools you put on the commandline.
So if I edit my .bat file removing the pools I have entered there that should solve the problem?
Do I use the conf file OR the .bat file or do I need both?
Sorry, still a bit of a newbie when it comes to all this.

No. It doesn't sound like you are doing this inside the BFGminer window.
Just do S W ENTER inside the BFGminer window after removing the pools you don't want using P R - let it re-write the default file, don't try to help it by entering a file name or extension. If you do that, it should overwrite whatever file it is that you keep picking up.

I have done what you have suggested and next time I start bfg I get the same result. After this failed I tried to update it in windows as described and that didn't work either
Should I delete and start the config file again from scratch?
Thanks
Try launching with -c /path/to/config/bfgminer.conf without pools on commandline?

CGWatcher has just added an option for sick FPGAs and ASICs (or at least enabled it by default) if you are running windows.
thx, but thats the problem; - I'm on Linux.. August 21, 2013, 05:53:07 AM
the last night BFL LS was sick in BFGMiner 
is there a way to auto restart a device if it is sick?
TIA
