So, has anyone ben able to use BFGminer 3.10 in OpenWRT to mine with a antminer S1?
Only U1 is supported by 3.10, sorry.S1 support is on our todo list, though!
Thanks for quick reply. Nice to see this will become available later.

It does not detect any devices. Bitmain has not released official firmware for this that includes BFGminer. Their official firmware includes CGminer
3.8.5-1.

I will download it and try it.

I'm 99% sure the antminer bmsc options only work with the CGminer build from that address in my first reply.

I will remember that.
I am using zadig for the cgminer 3.10, but that program refuses to accept the bmsc options as adding it to the command line makes the command window to appear for a second and disappear.
Perhaps that was the problem.
I will try the BFGminer 3.10 with the Silicon Labs cp210x USB to UART Brigde drivers first and work my way down the versions.
Thanks

WWWIN -- thanks for your reply.

but you have to uninstall Zadig driver for the antminer to use with BFG, the com port should show this Silicon Labs cp210x USB to UART Brigde, not the Zadig USB driver that you installed to use cgminer.

cgminer.exe --bmsc-options 115200:20 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -u walletid -p x --bmsc-freq 0881
use freq 0781 as the default then try 0881/0981/0B81
Like I say, once I got this working the way i wanted I didn't attempt another method, and I'm sure if Luke Jr. says BFGMiner works with antminers, then you can get it to work.

What do the three speeds for each device mean, relative to each other? I just updated to 3.10.0, and plugged in the antminers that arrived today, and I see the third speed reported as 2GH, but the other numbers are half that. Is this normal?
Hiya mate,
I see that you have the antminer working on your bfgminer 3.10.
I cannot get the S All option to run -- in fact bfg 3.10 cannot find my 2 Antminer U1 units.
My OS is Win Vista.
Should I add the S and Com port in bfg 3.10?
What should I add to this line to make the antminer run with 0781 freq option:?
bfgminer.exe -o pool.emercoin.com:3333 -u xxxxxx.xxxx -p myworker -S \\.\COM3 -S \\.\COM4
At the moment I am using cgminer 3.10 and can only get hash rates of approx. 450 Mh/s
Thanks in advance for any help.
do like this -S antminer:\\.\COM3 -S antminer:\\.\COM4

Hiya mate.
Thnks for your post.
I think I will try CGminer 3.8.6 tyo see if ithat version will accept the --bmsc options.
Did you have to give the COM port numbers?
If possible can you post your antminer run command syntax?
Cheers

The only way I was able to get my antminer U1 devices to work was to go to:
https://github.com/antminer/antgen1/tree/master/cgminer
and follow the directions precisely. the "--bmsc" portions of the command line tell CGMiner how to talk to the Antminers, and I'm not sure those "--bmsc" options are compiled in every build or the default build. I haven't really experimented much after I got everything working. I figured if it is broke, don't fix it.
So on one Win 8.1 box I have Easyminer running my BFL SC 50 Gh/s with the latest CGMiner, and an instance of CGminer 3.8.6 from that github address running my 4 antminers overclocked at 1.9GH/s.

If you "HAVE" to use CGminer,( LOL ) then you need to specify each type of miner with the required arguments.
Why's it LOL?
I HAVE to run cgminer because bfgminer doesn't support my Bitburner Fury. That one board makes up nearly 1/3 of my hashing speed, but I can't run it off bfgminer. So, I run cgminer off a BeagleBone Black, and the other 100GH runs off a PC running bfgminer (I only run a PC because my hubs are USB3 and none of my ARM machines play happily with the USB3 hub).

Where did the optimised .bin files come from?
The Litecoin forums. I have some ideas on these, but so far they don't actually improve performance with my own GPUs.
The idea is this: take the existing .cl files, and then take the known GPU models you are working with. Then remove all of the branching logic in the .cl files and create files that are specifically for your GPU, specifically for the thread-concurrency you will be providing, specific to the work-size, etc.
My thoughts were that it should really be trivial to add an optional process that does this as a pre-processor to the actual .cl to .bin compilation, but again so far I have not been able to reproduce the improvements (much less had the time to implement this).
Thoughts?

I get a little better performance on my GPU miners running scrypt with cgminer than I could tweak out with bfgminer.
When I switched to BFGminer, I also noted the big performance differences, but then found I was able to get the same performance once I used optimized .bin files again, as I was using in CGminer. I know NWoolls has mentioned this to Luke, and I'm able to reproduce it on all 45 mining rigs.

Hi all, I have installed BFGminer 3.10 on my Antminer S1 and can run it/watch it using screen. Anyway to get it to detect the ASICs so it can mine?
would be great to have both miners available on this machine. I have tried all of the antminer arguments to no avail. Even killed all miners first.
Thanks!

in my case bfgminer with k-x-ubuntu 13.10 and a hub hate each other.. i dont know why i have try everything and every time i have the same results in both of my computer and my dekstop and my netbook mining rig dell isnpire.
January 22, 2014, 04:56:20 PM
Bfgminer dont like linux and dont like linux with usb hub.
The author uses Linux as a primary development and testing platform. bfgminer <3 Linux.
