Is there a current version of this for Ubuntu? The one from the repository is 3.*, but I'm using it with my Rockminer so it needs to be the latest version.
Edit: I misunderstood how to build it on Ubuntu. I'm still a newbie with Linux desktop (although I ran a server for years for my job, I was not compiling things). I'm all set now, thanks!

I would like Support for COINTERRA ASICS please.
See cointerra branch for a hack, or help develop cointerra_fresh (it doesn't get full hashrate, and haven't figured out why). July 07, 2014, 12:19:50 PM

Can someone give me an example of a bfgminer.conf file that has settings on per-device basis?
I have a few devices that achieve best results at different speeds. So, based on their serial number I want to configure them to start automatically at the desired speed.
(as opposed to me going and adjusting the speeds every time I start them).
Ideally I'd like to have one set of global settings with a few exceptions for this and that device. You can use NFY devices as an example - e.g. this is what I currently have:

I'm glad to hear you were able to find a working solution for your hardware. To answer your question, using BFGMiner (with or without MultiMiner) I get 2.84 Mh/s per board with 0% HW errors on one and 2% on another. The effective hashrate is about the same (2.79 Mh/s & 2.86 Mh/s).
I'm still not quite sure from your posts what issues you had with BFGMiner. Your last post indicated you were getting the same performance I am reporting, but then you struck through the text.

The problem I encountered was - when I posted my first response, I was getting 2.85mH/s with 2-3 HW's - I left the blades to work whole night - but next day when I saw BFGM(I ran the manual miner through MM) was mining at 3.xxmH/s and there were like 50-70 HW's per blade(and they kept increasing). So I had no other option than to quit. Of course MM has nothing to do with this, but there was no other option available in MM to replace BFGM(I have been using MM since I got my first 280x and it works like a charm for me).
Anyway, thanks
and I hope you get an alternative in MM for these blades if possible.Make sure are looking at the HW %, not the number / count. Most of these numbers are not directly comparable between CGMiner and BFGMiner. It's comparing apples and oranges.
Thanks, I'll make a note of it. Moreover I'm trying to learn and then start using SeedManager as it's more stable and stronger performance-wise.

After failing to get my g-blades properly work with BFGM ad MM(due to no proper support and lack of interest from me{after 30+ tries also it didn't work for me, and moreover I think like this I'll destroy my equipment!}), I've decided to quit these two applications and hold hands of CGM 3.7.2(jmordica fork) - which has successfully worked for me, up to my expectations!
Now I get around 5.7mH/s(2.85mH/s per blade) on my g-blade, with hardly 1-2 HW's. Thanks to all those who gave a hand of help.

In an earlier post, it was correctly stated that Gridseed blades DO NOT support BitCoin mining or Dual mining. Simply, they will overheat and self-destruct if they are instructed to mine BitCoin.
However, the GC3355 ASIC chips that the blades contain have the capability to mine BitCoin, and dual mine BitCoin and scrypt coins. JMordica's fork of CGminer TURNS OFF the BitCoin mining function of the GC3355 chips.
Single-chip GC3355 miners could dual mine without damage. The 80-chip Gridseed blade (containing GC3355 chips) cannot, as stated above.
Does BFGminer TURN OFF the BitCoin mining function of the Gridseed blade? As a previous poster stated, it may be possible to damage a Gridseed blade with BFGminer.
I'd like to use MinePeon with my Gridseed blades, and mine scrypt coin with BFGminer. -Scryptr

Yes, both the Orb and G-Blade are treated similarly to dbartle's CGMiner driver: the device is reset and then only the scrypt cores are initialized. When mining with a DualMiner and specifying dual-mode mining, the device is reset and both scrypt and SHA cores are initialized.
SHA cores are never initialized by BFGMiner for any device other than the DualMiner USB stick.

Ty BTW, bout to run sudo make on 4.3 after configures done... will post images of 4.3 hasing my BTC sticks when done since I don't have a zeus yet.
Also, does 4.3 do the "out of box" over clocking to the zeus like it does to the 1.6U2's which is running for m now at 1.9 each.

Can I use BFGMiner for scryptoins / with the 1.2x Mh/s zeus blizzard devices ?
I have 4.2.0 compiled right now on my rPi with MinePeon. Minepeon I'm sure wont be an issue since it's more or less a pretty interface for bfgminer / cgminer.

You'll need BFGMiner 4.3 in order to mine with the ZeusMiner ASICs. It works great on the RPi in my testing so should work once MinePeon is updated to 4.3.
