If it is more easy then do it :-)

Maybe anyone could wrote personal efficiency algorithm in external include file.

Say me how send you this information

Thanks

Well, if we're using SPI, maybe just repeatedly shift 5555<16-bit length> and define data some way?

Hi Luke
The goal is set the device for have the best value mW@GHash (in other words best performance)

For do this I need to measure power and I already do it, but I need also to know hash rate and change number of bit.

In summary I need two function:
1 - receive hash rate
2- set bit number

I have free pin on MCP2210 and of course free pin on micro

1 pin with inaccurate timing is not sufficient for communications AFAIK.
Also, you need to define "hash rate" - there is no good way to measure instantaneous valid-result hashrate, so we'd probably need to coordinate when the averaging is reset etc.
It seems to me it would make more sense to feedback the voltage/current information into BFGMiner and do the logic there?

I think you will implement easily this 2 function.

Hi Luke

I use MCP2210 because it have great stability.

I use micro only for extra caratteristic like current, voltage and temperature measurement.

Have you possibility to send information and get information to-from micro?

This could be a new cool feature for your already good bfgminer.

With GHash value and current measurement by hall sensor I could calculare performance GHash/Watt and show information by led meter.

Since I'm almost ready to send PCB please reply me soon for decide if connect and where connect this new communication channel.

After have decided the communication pin, you could develop this caratteristic in all calm and in a while I could produce pcb.

Thanks "lightworker" Luke.

What does the micro do with the information?
If the mining chip is itself controlled by BFGMiner, it can also control the clocking?
Afraid I'm missing part of the big picture here, and I can't really give good advice without understanding what the actual goals/design are.
SPI might be bitbangable for micro comms, but maybe using a chipselect would work better for that?

Not sure that 4.2 runs both. If you have a Pi, check out Hashra. They have an image for your Pi that lets you remote connect, run both scrypt/sha, and looks fairly clean. I have yet to check it out, but I've seen good things...

Not that I'm not all about the BFGMiner, it's just a different tool if you want to do both...

No pi, just my laptop to run it with. I was under the impression that the latest ver. could do both simultaneously?

I have four of the round mini gridseed ASIC miners hooked up to a USB hub. I have the latest version of BFGminer. How do I mine
in dual mode with it? Sha256 only mode?

Any help is appreciated!

Best,

Cynthia

Luke -

Thanks for the scrypt support with gridseed stuff.. I have successfully deployed a foxconn mini-pc (win7) with 3 x gseed blades using bfgminer.. (was having issues with Raspi)

DITTO!! So what driver do I load for the R-Boxes then? I'm sure I have to switch it back to the standard windows driver instead of the Zadig driver I have had to run them under with CGminer. Or is there a specific one I need to download and install for the R-Boxes?

The R-BOX uses the same cp2102 driver needed for Block Erupters.

Quote from: pinkfloyd11 on June 11, 2014, 04:00:21 PM

I would develop a firmware that measure performance.
For do it I need to know GHash value, hardware errors ecc.
Since on mpc2210 there are free GPIO ports, I would ask you if is possible send the above information by this way. Think it like a read information / set command ( for example set bit number) directly from device.
For example GPIOa = rx GPIOb = tx (uart).

I think you would have a hard time getting accurate timing over GPIO, even moreso via mpc2210.
But if you're putting logic in a microcontroller, why use a mcp2210 at all?

BFGMiner 4.2 released with ROCKMINER R-BOX support.

+1

same commands as cgminer?

No, BFGMiner has a standard interface for all drivers. So something like:

Code:

bfgminer -S rockminer:all --set rockminer:clock=290

Edit: Also note that if you were using cgminer, you had to use Zadig, which breaks the official drivers. You will need to undo this (and restore the original driver) before BFGMiner will work.

How does one go about "undoing" the use of Zadig and restore the original drivers? Thanks!

just reinstall the original driver or you can use the zadig tool to revert back to original driver. in my experience, reinstalling driver is cleaner.

Got 4.2.0 compiled and working on Rasberry Pi (Arch/Minepeon)

it wasn't able to detect the R-BOX's though. Is this a thing where I have to program the chips on the miners to identify themselves properly?

R-BOXs so far have shipped with the CP2102 EEPROM unprogrammed, same problem as the Block Erupters had.
You can manually probe them with -S of course, or use cp210x-program to configure them.
I made a template EEPROM firmware for them: http://luke.dashjr.org/tmp/code/eeprom-content.RBOX.hex
Use it like: ./cp210x-program -w -F eeprom-content.RBOX.hex --set-product-string='R-BOX miner' --set-serial-number=somethingunique

Awesome! This is great news for us MultiMiner users! Thanks so much, stoked!
