Hey, TXSteve ....
How is my latest firmware changes working for ya?
I think its working well on my single titan, its done some soft / hard resets once or 2x ... my code handled it as intended .. I think =)

Whats ur experience been?

Im gonna make an updated official release soon if all keeps going well.

I think it's ok too, still waiting for word on the 5.1/5.2 issue on the bfgminer thread

haven't had much in the way of hard resets yet to confirm, temp control is solid !!

Luke-Jr saying to use the git bisect command, you know anything about that?  Looks like it checks revisions to find where a bug is introduced

Nope, I dont =/

yeah it is beyond me too, would it be too much trouble to get a 5.1 version? that way I'll at least have temp control on that rig and then use 5.2 on the others
 I suppose many don't use load balance, but probably going to be a problem if anyone else tries it with 5.2

btw I did have a successful hard reset today, seems to be working

Very cool, Im glad the soft / hard reset is finally working as intended.... thus far.... fingers crossed ... LOL

If ur just using 5.1 for one rig, couldnt u just git clone 5.1 to that pi and compile it for yourself? Thats what I assumed u did anyways to run the comparisons no?...

I wish I was that advanced, lol   I just used the knc 2.0 image and tried your v.85 img too

let me think about that, I'm trying to wrap my brain around this git stuff

actually starting to make some sense, thx for the tip



Oh, I see what you mean, the stock bfgminer is what you want?
Wasnt something broken in it.... isnt that why everyone wanted the latest? lol I dont know anymore.
Basically if you wanted that version again, u would need to go to the bfgminer_stock directory and just copy bfgminer from that folder to bfgminer folder then restart bfgminer. All of this is in /home/pi. Make a backup of the newest one first if you wanted to, by moving it to a diff filename. IE: mv bfgminer/bfgminer bfgminer/bfgminer_new_bak

I used  cp -r /backup/bfgminer/* bfgminer ....  lol so easy, you wouldn't believe how complicated I was making that

thanks so much for another tip

when I do a git pull will it upgrade to 5.2 again?

8192 or 16384 both work well on a 4 cube rig

Stockholm, Sweden / Taipei, Taiwan – August 14, 2015- KnCMiner AB, the leading provider of Bitcoin mining machine, and Alchip Technologies, Ltd. (TWSE: 3661), a leading fabless ASIC company, announced that they have cooperated in designing and manufacturing a 16nm FinFET AISC for KnCMiner’s latest Solar bitcoin mining machine. The chip samples were delivered in May and started mass production in July.


And anyone that sends money to those liars deserves what they get.

If I had to guess its because the vardiff is set so low on that one pool, look its 9m when comparing it to the higher vardiff value in 5.1 Seems to be in pool 2 ...

pool 2 is using a ridiculously slow vardif -- because of the rejects it never gets up to speed, and constantly cycles from  the lowest vardif on up, that's why I put 5.1 back in

also it's effecting them all, we are seeing mostly pool 2 because it is a small sample and the vardif is low so more blocks submitted in the sample, the other pools are set at 8192, but they still get a surge of rejects

5.2 rejects run around 20%, 5.1 around 2-3%, failover rigs run around .5%,  there is some performance overhead when using load balance but 20% is pretty high

I'll ask in the bfgminer thread later, see what they say -- maybe they know of an issue with it

thx

GenTarkin I think we got that problem fixed, now I have something else for you to look at  :|

in this Bfgminer 5.2 I am getting a ton of stale share errors when using load balancing, it's like the buffer isn't getting properly flushed after a new block is found. Eventually it clears out and starts submitting valid shares. And it usually just effect 1 or 2 pools that are being load balanced. btw these pools run great when not load balanced

I reverted back to 5.1 and these issues went away

I realize that these are probably BFgminer bugs, but since 5.2 is part of the upgrade I'm throwing it out there on the off chance there is anything you can do about it



Well, I could revert to 5.1 in the build, but prefer to stay with the latest. Since that seems what people want.

yeah I prefer the latest too, I didn't see anything in the changelog re load balance, so I'll play around with it some more

I set up load balance on a 2nd rig and imported the same pools and settings

this is bfgminer 5.1:
