Any chance of Bitmain S1/S2/S3 support?

Hey everyone,

I don't mean to intrude with a noob "how do I use this" question, but that is where this has left me.

I've been able to run bfg miner 3.10 on my PC, connectuong to my gridseeds and running them. My issue lies in getting bfg 4.4.0 (and now also 4.5.0) to recognize not only my gridseeds but also my Zeus Thunder X3. And as a note, I have admin rights, and have tried running it from the root of my C: drive as well. I have noticed (in 3.4.0 and 3.5.0) an error regarding a registry value not being read?

In any canse, I have used the correct drivers for the gridseed blades (stm electronics) and they still work fine with CPUminer (the sandor111 fork) but bfg 4.5.0/4.4.0 just won't recognize them.

As for the Zeus, I have a friend running it for me right now, but when I tried it on 4.4.0 (using the correct commands I believe) bfg refused to recognize it. Sad

If anyone can share with me the complete setup procedure (including drivers and commands on windows) for Zeus and gridseed blades (preferably in the same instance) I would be greatly appreciative.

Sorry again for the "How to" noobish post - I do some android development and understand how annoying it may be Sad

Thanks guys,
- NellyWhads

Antminer U1 Trouble....

For some reason bfgminer wont detect my U1 anymore. The green lights are on, so there is power. Once I do m, +, all it will blink some but then say no devices found. I've also tried ./bfgminer -S amu:all and -S antminer:all to no avail. Any ideas? The jalapeno is running fine though. This just stopped working one day and now it can't seem to pick it up.

Thanks,

Fuglie

P.S. - It might be the u1 itself....cgminer cant find the dang thing either. But I like bfgminer more so if y'all can help that would be awesome.

I have a U1 that acts the same way. It just dies and I need to reseat it in the USB port several times sometimes before it starts working again.. It also won't overclock very high so I just write it off as a flaky stick.

Hi all.

I'm still at it with the random no-hashing issue I keep having everyday with my Raspberry Pi & now 8 Gridseed G-blades, up from 6 G-blades, new 6FT USB Cables (down from 10 & 15 footers). And again, I even replaced the hub with a new Turcom 24 Port USB 2.0 Monster USB HUB W/ac Adapter Power Station.

I'm still not sure if this is a BFGminer issue with too many G-blades or not.
However, it works fine with up to 5 G-blades.

I updated BFGminer to the latest version, as of this writing, to v4.5.0.

Here are my results.

No Over-clocking used. They are setup at their "Sweet Spot" as recommended by most. See below:

Same thing but from the Minepeon WEBUI below:

See my previous post here, with the same results.

I don't know what else to do.

I get the same thing using Multiminer with bfgminer. It's always a different G-blade that stays stuck on zero, always & only using BFGminer since all I do is LTC mine with these.

Any suggestions?

Hello,

Trying to help a friend set up his blade in bfgminer got it running and everything. But ocl keeps showing up as a device. How do you disable the GPU? He can go into settings and shut if off there.

I use this in .bat : -S noauto -S gridseed:all --set-device gridseed:clock=800,usefifo=0,btc=0 --scrypt

Alberto

Thanks Alberto for the info on the startup bat. Does the -S noauto stop the gpu from mining?

Yes

how do you get BFGMiner to see the NANOFury devices, as they are recognized by windows as a HID-compliant device. i am trying to get a miner to recognize the nanofury so it can mine with it, but i cant seem to get the program to see the HID-compliant device. please help me. i need to figure out what in the source code allows the recognition of the devices.

Trying to help a friend set up his blade in bfgminer got it running and everything. But ocl keeps showing up as a device. How do you disable the GPU? He can go into settings and shut if off there.

I use this in .bat : -S noauto -S gridseed:all --set-device gridseed:clock=800,usefifo=0,btc=0 --scrypt

Thanks Alberto for the info on the startup bat. Does the -S noauto stop the gpu from mining?

Good day, is there a native way to automatically schedule BFGMiner to restart without the need of an outside API application? It would cut out a middle man and save resources if it is possible and if not is there a modification available for such a command?

Thank you.

Code:

bfgminer 4.4.0

Usage: bfgminer
Options for both config file and command line:

--sched-start Set a time of day in HH:MM to start mining (a
once off without a stop time)
--sched-stop Set a time of day in HH:MM to stop mining (will
quit without a start time)

As far as I understand help description, stop and start of mining is possible. For restarting the miner better option is "middle man" in a form of CGWatcher. It's free.

So for Zeus it would then be zus@//./COM1:342?

Make sure your slashes are facing the right way: \ instead of / But yeah, that should do it.

--set-device zus@\\.\COM1:Clock=342

It's actually working better with forward slashes. Otherwise you need to escape them but even then it might not work.

Forward slashes shouldn't work at all. The code looks for backslashes explicitly:
https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer/blob/65a7398457a858a9a22d5bb3b309d1e7bf21a2d4/miner.c#L537

Would this work in a config file?

"set-device" : [
"zus@\\.\COM1:clock=342",
"zus@....",
...
]

I'm able to run all of them at either 0781 or 0881 without any issues; I've been running at 0881 (1.8gh/s) for the last 8 hours without hardware errors. But I have the Rockminers coming this week and I want to have everything tuned correctly.

Can I use BFGMiner with 2 different types of ASIC devices at the same time? Currently I’m running 10 AntMiner U2’s, I just ordered a few Rockminer R-BOX units. I’d like to run all from 1 instance of BFG.

Yep, Currently have 3 NanoFurys (F1/F2), 23 Antminer U1/U2 and 6 r-boxes all running.

I could use some help writing a config file, mine seems to only save pools.

Do you specify different speeds for the U1 and U2? I have both and I have everything running at the same speed because I couldn't figure out how to run some at 0981 and others at 0781.

Code:

bfgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u worker -p xxx -S antminer:all --set-device antminer:clock=x0781

I'm in the same boat really. I tried using the command for U2 but that just drove U1s and U2 crazy with tons of hardware errors

To set individual frequencies on those beasts, you need to use:

-S antminer:all --set-device antminer@\\.\com#:clock=x#### so you'll need to know the COM#

I went through my control panel and made sure I had the correct COM ports then I tries both of these without any success:

Code:

bfgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:333 -u worker1 -p x -S antminer:all --set-device antminer@\\.\COM4:clock=x0881 --set-device antminer@\\.\COM5:clock=x0881 --set-device antminer@\\.\COM6:clock=x0881 --set-device antminer@\\.\COM7:clock=x0981 --set-device antminer@\\.\COM8:clock=x0881 --set-device antminer@\\.\COM9:clock=x0881 --set-device antminer@\\.\COM10:clock=x0881 --set-device antminer@\\.\COM11:clock=x0981 --set-device antminer@\\.\COM12:clock=x0981
