A question, though. What's that DEAD MMQ? I only have 2 Block Erupters running on this system.
Using -S erupter:all ?

Side note: any idea what other serial device is in your PC?

Um, I installed the USB to UART (WinUSB) drivers, using zadig utility. That's why cgminer is working. Does BFGminer expect a different set of drivers?
Yes, BFGMiner works with the standard drivers.
http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx
Did that change recently? I recall you mentioning in an earlier version that the Zadig drivers would "break" BFGMiner.
The Zadig drivers are non-standard. Since Windows doesn't allow two drivers to be installed, Zadig removes the standard ones, thus breaking BFGMiner (and anything else that works with it normally).

Yes. You will have to uninstall the WinUSB drivers, reboot, and install the SiLabs drivers for BFGMiner to work. If you will be running 60 BE units, use the 64-bit version if your machine is set up for it. All your hubs should be sufficiently powered and preferably USB 3.0

I run a linux Ubuntu Quantal 64-bit system. I compiled BFGMiner from the git archive. When I try to get the miner to detect my Block Erupter USB, it doesn't report that anything is available. I tried "-S all" and it refuses to detect anything except my CPU.
First, be sure you have rebooted or replugged the device after running cgminer, if you have run it (it corrupts the driver).
If that's not the problem, try the command in README:
Code:
sudo modprobe cp210x   vendor=0x10c4 product=0xea60
Finally, if it still doesn't show up, please post the output from:
Code:
lsusb -vv
ls /dev/ttyUSB*
lsmod
dmesg

Trying to move from cgminer to bfgminer with 60 BE stick farm.

Initial test with 2 sticks does not look promising.

Hello,

I run a linux Ubuntu Quantal 64-bit system. I compiled BFGMiner from the git archive. When I try to get the miner to detect my Block Erupter USB, it doesn't report that anything is available. I tried "-S all" and it refuses to detect anything except my CPU.

Here is some diagnostic output:

lsusb gives:

Any ideas?

Edit: cgminer detects the device fine and works correctly.

If you run BFGMiner with --scrypt, the only .cl file it actually makes use of is scrypt130511.cl, right?

Are diablo, poclbm, phatk and diakgcn only for SHA256?(or at least not for scrypt)

On top of that, I haven't the slightest idea how to make an Android package or upload it to Google Play, and I suspect doing so might not be possible with free software. Sad

It'd probably be much faster/cheaper to find someone who does regular Android development. Smiley
You don't NEED to upload it to Google play, It's not that hard to download/install an .apk file online. That said Odds are it would be a better idea to get someone with more experience with Android to work on it. I'd pay BTC/Fait for a working Android App that worked with BE/Avalon/BFL/etc and was fairly easy to use.

PS: It's not easy getting Linux to work on Android properly...
