Hi guys,
I'm new here. I was using CGminer on ubuntu and decided to change to BFGminer. I installed through the PPA. BFGMiner doesn't recognize my BFL's and recognize just one of my usb asicminers, I have 11 of them.
Anything I need to do extra? Do I need to install drivers for them or BFL like in Windows?!

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Igor

Q: I ran cgminer, and now BFGMiner doesn't work!
A: cgminer has its own non-standard implementations of the drivers for most USB devices, and disables the official drivers (on Windows, you did this manually using Zadig). Before you can use BFGMiner, you will need to restore the original driver. With Linux, usually rebooting or re-plugging the device is sufficient.

I have a machine with a quadcore and 2 nvidia video cards and I cant get bfgminer to run i get this error

Quote
clDevicesNum returned error, no GPUs usable


I'm trying to mine litecoins with it. the nvidia gpus are temporary until my 7900's get here. help please

Your batch file to start bfgminer should look something like this:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
bfgminer --scrypt -o host:port -u username -p password

And from there you can adjust the other GPU information such as
--lookup-gap   Set GPU lookup gap for scrypt mining, comma separated
--shaders      GPU shaders per card for tuning scrypt, comma separated
--thread-concurrency Set GPU thread concurrency for scrypt mining, comma separated

Then try running it

Same result.

Is the Klondike K16 supported now in BFG?  I can't be sure looking at the readmes.
The driver is pretty poor code (almost verbatim import from cgminer), so I'll probably rewrite it when/if they get back to me with protocol specs (or maybe reverse engineer it from this code), but it should work as of 3.6.0...

Cheers. Smiley 

I was bidding on a K16 on Fleabay, but it went for Silly Moneytm - someone was pretty keen to pay £280 for the thing...

I have a question i could not find so easely, so that's why im posting here. Sorry for bad English.

I'm using bfgminer 3.6.0 at this moment to mine some BTC.

Well, when i'm mining, i see this:

1:       xx/xx/xxMh/s
OCL 0: xx/xx/xxMh/s

I'm mining with my GPU, were is the 1 for and were is the OCL 0 for?
What XX's do i need to look for what my actual MH/s's are?

Thank you! God Bless

CCNA: There i fixed the internet.
Is there anything BFGMiner could do to fix these errors on BFSB hardware without restarting?

BSB 1e: bitfury_init_oldbuf: Giving up after 4 tries

I've noticed that a chip's frequency sometimes drops considerably and it starts spamming that error. Restarting BFGMiner fixes it, unlike when a whole card goes down. Since a simple BFGMiner restart is enough in this case, I'm wondering if this could be fixed automatically when it happens, without even having to restart?

i get this occasionally with a nanofury NF1 that i pencil modded. lowering the osc6 bits restarts it. i changed the volt mod slightly and it became stable again at the higher bits

Is Bi•Fury gonna be supported in the next version?  I know it's in the pipeline, just curious.
In fact, you can try the "bifury" branch I pushed to git... It won't report hashrates, but it should mine... Wink
I'll do that this weekend though I won't be able to actually 'try' it until Monday night.  Smiley

Did you have any heat issues with it? (I'm assuming, of course, that you received an engineering sample.)
Plan on using oven gloves to unplug it...
I actually have kevlar gloves so I guess they'll come in handy.   Tongue

Hello Luke-Jr,

Got some problem to compile bfgminer correctly inside a macbook-pro (core i7 2.5Ghz & Radeon 6770M) and gladly would appreciate some help please :

1. When yasm is installed (with macports) ...

    "./configure CFLAGS="-I$PWD" --enable-scrypt --enable-cpumining" works
    "make" returns this error :

    
Code:
...
Making all in x86_64
/opt/local/bin/yasm -f macho64 -o sha256_sse4_amd64.o sha256_sse4_amd64.asm

make[2]: *** [sha256_sse4_amd64.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

It looks like specific yasm mac error but can't find out where the problem is located.

2. Anyway, uninstalled yasm and build passing now but when launching bfgminer, I have to select manually cpu's with Management Devices and typing "auto" to detect cpu's (not possible to use it auto at startup ?) and bfgminer interface looks like this :

    
Code:
bfgminer version 3.6.0 - Started: [2013-11-22 21:35:31] - [  0 days 00:00:32]

 CPU 6:       |  29.4/ 51.5/  0.0kh/s | A:0 R:0+0(none) HW:0/none
 CPU 7:       |  29.6/ 51.9/  0.0kh/s | A:0 R:0+0(none) HW:0/none
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    

Still at 0.0kh/s and cpu doesn't looks like to work ...
Any idea why cpu's looks like idle-ing ?

3. AMD OPENCL drivers and bfgminer gpu dependencies are installed on this mac but no GPU are found under Management devices.

It looks like also GPU specific start options are not recognized (like "-I 9 --auto-fan --auto-gpu").

Any reason why ?

Thanks for help.

hahaha tried going back to 3.0.10 but i get only segmentation faults when running and no errors on build...

trying now 3.2.6...

Are you like these guys?
i updated to 3.6 and not my jalapeño is not detected as BFL but as AVA0 and AVA1... is there anything that i can do to fix this problem?

Is it mining?  If it is, it's not a problem.  

its not mining Sad

edit:

disabled avalon support and its mining

edit2:

its mining at a fraction of the speed that was on 3.0 Sad


Would it kill you to go back to version 3.0 to get back to your full mining performance? Maybe do that then try to work out why you're not getting the full hash rate on 3.6.

Or you can just dump it in the ocean if you like? -
