I followed the README.FPGA but using the WinUSB (v6.1.7600.16385) no version of BFGMiner will detect the X6500.

Update: After a Software Update and a reboot, I now get "FTDI reports 1 devices". So from this point I need to add something like the -S X6500:auto to the command string?


Try the -S X6500:auto or just -S all and it still won't mine on the X6500.

ah. ok. i'm on 3.1.3, so i'll do that -S thing.

Thanks

CCNA: There i fixed the internet.
Howdy. program works great except for random crashing. I have two BFL 5Gh/s Jalapenos, mining on Slush's pool, Windows 7, 64bit.  It'll hum along just fine for a while, and then randomly just stop working. After reading a few pages of this thread, i've restarted it with -D -T args to see if i can get any info about the crashing.

Also, by default it starts up detects/mines with both BFL devices and my GPU. i've looked at the --device|-d command not sure how to get it to do something useful like only enable the BFLs.  The devices are listed as

OCL 0
BFL 0
BFL 1

so, would the numbering be as simple as 0, 1 and 2? so if i just want the BFL's used, i would add -d 1-2 to my command line?


I think if you add -G to the command string that will disable the GPU's.

Thanks. Will try that on next crash/restart. :-)

it depends on which version of bfgminer is in use.
3.1.2>= -G should work
3.1.3 forward will be -S OpenCL:noauto

Update: HUPed after 3 hours operation.
What do you mean by HUPed?
The HUP signal is sent when you close the terminal...

HUP happens because I use SSH to open a terminal. When I try to SSH back in, I can't. This is why I need to power it down and then back up again.
I recommend running BFGMiner inside GNU Screen.



I have been using GNU screen all along.

I have exactly this same problem.  If i run 3.11 they are reconized and work properly, but if i run 3.13 i get the same error. (so i am running
OH! I do have a fix for a X6500 regression slated for 3.1.4. Just didn't realize it manifested this way >_<

Stay tuned, probably just a few more days...

If you'd like to help test now, the latest git is always available from WeBisect.

I downloaded the win64 to test.  It worked with both the x6500's and the ModMiners just fine.  Yay!  Thanks.  Will let you know if i see any problems.

Results of working on getting BFGMiner to work with X6500.

Using libusb-win32_1.2.6.0

Luke can we got a known working version or a better suggestion please?
All current versions are known working - I wouldn't release them if they didn't work.
There is no sign of a X6500 on your USB bus in the pastebin, with or without the correct driver.
X6500 is 0403:6001

I'm kind of lost at this point.
Be sure you're using Zadig the way described in README.FPGA

runs very well on a TP-Link MR3020 (WR703N)

Thanks!

Luke,

I have been running CM1's within a single USB channel and allowed ZTEX and BE's to run on another USB channel connected to the raspberry pi.

So here is the way they are connected:

Raspberry pi = 2 USB ports (a)

(a)  1 USB port has USB 4 port hub       (1)
(a)  1 USB port has USB 4 port hub       (2)

(1)  4 port hub has one ZTEX link and 2 DLINK 7 port hub links
(2)  4 port hub has 2 CM1's connected

I think the CM1's and BE's don't seem to like sharing the same USB hub channel. That is my theory for now.
I have had these running now for 3+ hours as the pi usually HUPs in about one hour.

Update: HUPed after 3 hours operation.

I had running the ztex fpga with the BE and no problems; has been running for more than 12 hours.
