How fast can you mine with it?
Currently mine is just working as XBMC, but might be cool to try this.

Hi,
In the guide of antminer seems it could be overclocked up to 4GHash, has anyone tried it?

its a yes and no answer, yes you can have Block Erupters and antminers on the same hub!
but they cant be run with the same cgminer.
You need to install 2 seperate cgminers! and run them seperatly, (one with icarus enabled and the other with bmsc enabled.
i currently have 3 Block Erupters, and 1 Antminer plugged into the same hub i run cgminer 3.1.1 for the BEs and 3.8.5 (frigged) for the Antminer.
Please read back through all posts! myself and phoenixsilverbird decribe how to install Antminers.. follow adafruit (just google it!..lol) tutorial for BE's on 3.1.1

Could 2 asic USB miner and 1 USB antminer working together on the same USB hub under cgiminer?
shazgaz
yes you do add:-
./cgminer --bmsc-options 115200:20 -o mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u bitcoinco_demo -p x--bmsc-freq 0781 --usb :1
like that correct.
however your segmentation fault i havnt seen before!...so cant help with that one. My only sugestion would be to completly remove all cgminer folders. ensure pi is fully updated, install all dependancies as my previous post, then start a fresh install one cgminer at a time, i would start with 3.1.1 for BE's. get these running then go for the forked version as linked to on the 2nd post on here.

As previously mentioned, you MUST run 2 instances of cgminer, one compiled with icarus, and the other with bmsc
I've been running a Raspberry Pi with 4 BEs uing cgminer 3.8.5. I compiled cgminer with the --enable-icarus switch for my BEs, but my new antminer only runs at .5gh/s. I've read that I need to recompile with the --enable-bmsc switch. But how can I compile using both switches so I can use my BEs and antmier at the same time?
hey
welcome give me a tip i work for free
Code:
cgminer.exe --bmsc-options 115200:20 -o 50.31.149.57:3333 -u wassap -p 543210 --
bmsc-freq 0781
I'm still not able to get past this line...
cd ./cgminer
./cgminer --bmsc-options 115200:20 -o mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u bitcoinco_demo -p x--bmsc-freq 0781
Now I get:
Unexpected extra commandline arguments
Segmentation fault
Also: do I add the '--usb :1' command like this:
./cgminer --bmsc-options 115200:20 -o mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u bitcoinco_demo -p x--bmsc-freq 0781 --usb :1
cd ./cgminer
./cgminer --bmsc-options 115200:20 -o mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u bitcoinco_demo -p x--bmsc-freq 0781
Now I get:

./cgminer --bmsc-options 115200:20 -o mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u bitcoinco_demo -p x--bmsc-freq 0781 --usb :1
Sorry I couldn't assist you as I only have one type of USB miner. Hopefully sweavings should be of more help 
Going to try that tonight. Guess that means no auto-start option?
Thanks for the help

Ok, i am running both BE's and Ant miner on my Pi, first thing you MUST do is install 2 instances of cgminer, get one to run ok with BE's using icarus(No ant miner plugged in) and then do the same with the other instance of cgminer for Ant miner using bmsc..
i use 3.1.1 for BE's
and the "frigged" 3.8.5 version from above for ant miner.
now, to run 2 cgminers at the same time, 1st unplug all miners..now plug in antminer and on the command line from above at the end of it add --usb :1
This tells cgminer to look for the 1st hotplug device and no more..now this cgminer should be running.
plug in your BEs
do ls /dev/*USB*
this will list all your USB devices(except for the ant miner)
now run the cgminer-3.1.1 start line adding -S /dev/ttyUSB0 -S /dev/ttyUSB1 .......etc for all devices.
nb there will be conflict between icarus and bmsc thus 2 cgminer instances.

When I ran it last night I did:
git clone https://github.com/AdvancedStyle/cgminer
cd cgminer
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0
sudo apt-get install libudev-dev
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-bmsc
./configure --enable-icarus
make -j 6
My thought was that I'd be enabling both the antminer and my BE.
I am rerunning it now with just bmsc to see if there is a conflict when both are enabled. Should know soon.
git clone https://github.com/AdvancedStyle/cgminer

Have you installed bmsc?
Thanks for the response. Late night trying on my own to no avail.
I tried that before, and just just did it again:
cd ./cgminer
./cgminer --bmsc-options 115200:20 -o mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u bitcoinco_demo -p x--bmsc-freq 0781
I get:
./cgminer: --bmsc-options: unrecognized option

cd ./cgminer
./cgminer --bmsc-options 115200:20 -o mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u bitcoinco_demo -p x--bmsc-freq 0781
I get:
./cgminer: --bmsc-options: unrecognized option
Don't sudo cgminer, just type in 'cd cgminer' and then your commands from there. After cd cgminer you are operating cgminer console.
New to rpi and mining. I got my BE's working with cgminer 3.1.1 but having same trouble as others with upgrade and the U1.
So far everything is going relatively smooth... except when I get to:
sudo ./cgminer --bmsc-options 115200:20 -o mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u bitcoinco_demo -p x--bmsc-freq 0781
I get:
sudo ./cgminer not found
Any suggesting to help me out?
Also:
If I want to run BE and Antminer on the same hub can I just enable both icarus and bmsc?
How does this change the autostart up line? I know I need something for the BE's to autostart too. This is what I have so far:
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
cd /home/pi/PiMiner
python PiMiner.py &
cd ..
nohup ./cgminer/cgminer --config /home/pi/cgminer.conf --bmsc-options 115200:20
Thanks for the help!

I haven't received mine yet, waiting to collect them from my delivery locker.
Will do when I arrive, thanks!

ITS WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
missed a - when typing the start line
sudo ./cgminer --bmsc-options 115200:20 -o mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u bitcoinco_demo -p x--bmsc-freq 0781
Must be 2 --
give it a go and let me know!

Ok Back to topic..lol,
i have had some success!
i have found out that the autogen.sh, needs dependancies installed to run! (some of these you may allready have installed)
So i have done the following:-
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install autoconf libusb-1.0-0-dev libncurses5-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev screen libtool automake pkg-config libjansson-dev
sudo ./autogen.sh (This takes an age to run so be patiant)
sudo ./configure --enable-bmsc
Sudo Make
This get cgminer running but it does not recognise the bmsc setting from the start line! take them out and cgminer opens, But...does not detect my device..grrrrr.
progress i suppose. lol
Let me know how you get on!
