Seems I'm getting a Nanofury to replace a dead Bluefury. Anything I need to be aware of as regards getting the Nanofury working on BFGMiner on Linux (or indeed OpenWRT)?

You'll have to build hidapi for OpenWrt and recompile BFGMiner to use it.

Cheers Luke-Jr. I think I'll stick to the RPi then. Wink

Help plz, if I have a laptop connected to several bfl asics, how do I open one window of bfgminer for each?

Create copies of the bfgminer folder for each asic. The configure each batch file to run just 1 asic.

i try but don't work. which flag i need use?

Hi Luke,

I am having real problems with libhidapi and I was wondering if you could lend a hand. I have compiled and build the libraryies and ldconfig see's them;-

ldconfig -vvv | grep libhidapi
libhidapi-libusb.so.0 -> libhidapi-libusb.so.0.0.0
libhidapi-hidraw.so.0 -> libhidapi-hidraw.so.0.0.0

But after I git clone ./autogen.sh and ./configure I get;-

Code:

...
checking for LIBUSB... yes
checking for hidapi... no
checking for hidapi... no
checking for hidapi... no
checking whether libusb_error_name is declared... yes
...

  Disabled.Drivers.....: cpu hashbuster knc metabank nanofury opencl
    To enable nanofury, install hidapi
    To enable hashbuster, install hidapi

Any clues? What do you get when you ldconfig -vvv | grep libhidapi? Perhaps I have done something wrong in the compile?

hidapi is loaded dynamically at runtime.
Building just requires the header.
Hopefully this will help you identify what's wrong with your install.
Maybe check config.log to see exactly what's going on..

Luke Jr. please help. I have tried for many days of exhaustive effort to get my BE Blade to work with the BFGminer --http-port 8000 option and I have nothing but frustration. I am currently mining getwork at Eligius. Thank you. These are the steps I have taken. First I downloaded the Win32 BFGminer and installed it on my XPsp3 system which has E8500 core2duo. BFG did not recognize my blade so I tried to make a .bat file but windows won't allow it and says bfg is not a valid win32 program.

This is all you need to do.

When you say the Blades weren't recognised, what do you mean? Did you expect the Blades to suddenly appear? Did you actually go to the Blade's management page and point them to the IP of the machine running BFGMiner, using a unique username on each Blade?

lowl-usb: Add tools for more reliable read/write using bulk transfers
Add bytes_extend_buf, bytes_preappend, bytes_postappend for reading direct to a bytes_t
New / updated instructions for building bfgminer on Windows
configure: Adjust header-path discovery to work sanely with spaces and backslashes in paths
Bugfix: configure: More fixing BSD sed syntax for curses header search
bitfury: Reinitialise chips if their frequency drops over 50%
bfg_strerror: Trim C whitespace off the right of FormatMessage output, since Windows can add \r\n

Luke Jr. please help. I have tried for many days of exhaustive effort to get my BE Blade to work with the BFGminer --http-port 8000 option and I have nothing but frustration. I am currently mining getwork at Eligius. Thank you. These are the steps I have taken. First I downloaded the Win32 BFGminer and installed it on my XPsp3 system which has E8500 core2duo. BFG did not recognize my blade so I tried to make a .bat file but windows won't allow it and says bfg is not a valid win32 program. SO I tried MinGW. The install went smooth but I replaced zlib1 for curl?? and eventually GIT would not work until I linked it somehow to msys. Eventually compiled bfg errors about $ A flags or something and I hacked that line out blindly of course there was no magic. So I thought let me start from bare metal. I got another PC with E8500 and 1 Gb ram. I thought about installing Ubuntu server as opposed to Arch. I like ARCH because it has nice docs, but I just want to get it up quick so Ubuntu. I tried Xubuntu but my disk was corrupt and wound up with Ubuntu Desktop. I figured Xubuntu would be better because a GUI wouold be nice to check BTC websights and stats and config pages. But I digress. UBDesktop sucks it is so slow. I used Synaptic to load up BFG and libmicrohttpd. No beans. It won't recognize my blade. SO I thought I would get tricky. I used wine to load win32bfg. I tried to edit a config for wine bfg but still no beans. I am ready to start over from bare metal but I need help. Please give me guidance. I think I can install everything and boot from a USB stick and eliminate my hard drive for a cost efficient Stratum host. But I can't seem to do it alone.

CCNA: There i fixed the internet.

im trying to make sense of this whitepaper, that seems to almost exactly replicate what the sha256_4way.c does

and if i understand it correctly one execution of 4way calculates 4 hashes, nonces: 0-3,4-7,.....

I found this command in read me file:
bfgminer -o http://pool1:port -u pool1username -p pool1password -o http://pool2:port -u pool2usernmae -p pool2password

so how to set priority of pools and also add --failover-only

thx

anyone please be nice and explain to me how to setup backup pool.
I'm using xp and I created .bat file with command to mine on eligius pool.
so how to add second pool in to the same command so if eligius fails it can automatically mine on second pool.
I saw command --pool-priority but I don't know how to use it.
thanks

Copy the example in "read me"

This looks like a device-side issue, or something else interfering with BFGMiner talking to it.

Got same error with clear WinXP on netbook, but all work fine with Linux Mint, and under VirtualBox on main machine, with custom cgminer. Mb my boards have some custom firmware?

Confirmed this affects the Windows 7 laptop I test on, but also confirmed communication with the device seems to work.
I don't know why the device fails when plugged into Windows Sad

Done, you should have it now. Looked at the log and I think it's crashing when compiling the scrypt bitstreams...

If it just ends abruptly like that on Windows, then it didn't crash...
My only guess is your OpenCL drivers called exit() for some reason.
If older versions work, we will need to bisect this issue while also ignoring the (different) bug you bisected earlier.
Unfortunately, automating this process is difficult... can you meet me on IRC?
