Tutorial:

Ubuntu 12.04 x64
============
1. Download my build from here: cgminer-hex16a-3.6.1.tar.gz
2. Extract the archive: tar -xvf cgminer-hex16a-3.6.1.tar.gz
3. Edit cgminer.conf - it is preconfigured for speeds 480Mhz @ 1440mV
4. Run cgminer with:
Code:
sudo ./cgminer -c ./cgminer.conf


How to apply the patch for your distro and compile cgminer
=======================================
Requirements
Code:
apt-get install autoconf libtool libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev pkg-config yasm make

Code:
wget https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/archive/v3.6.1.tar.gz
tar -xvf v3.6.1.tar.gz
cd cgminer-3.6.1
wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8082585/cg/cgminer_3_6_1_rev_fe5da9672767e18116444dad18db54638936490a.patch
patch < cgminer_3_6_1_rev_fe5da9672767e18116444dad18db54638936490a.patch
./autogen.sh --disable-opencl --disable-adl --enable-avalon --enable-hexminer --enable-bflsc --enable-icarus
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure --disable-opencl --disable-adl --enable-avalon --enable-hexminer --enable-bflsc --enable-icarus
make

Code:
sudo ./cgminer -n
to check the HEX board is detected

Have Fun


raspberry pi Debian Squeeze Linux
========================
Requirements
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install autoconf yasm pkg-config make libusb-1.0-0-dev libusb-1.0-0 libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev

Then follow the Ubuntu guide above to build cgminer.

Don't own one but it should work Wink


Windows
==========
1. Connect the board - Windows 7 has build in drivers, You need .Net to run the program
2. Downlaod HEXMiner: http://technobit.eu/index.php?controller=attachment&id_attachment=7
(will finish the guide with screenshots)
hint you need proxy Wink

Edit:
Please follow this great video tutorial for Windows 7

no cgminer for windows or at least I can not make it work (4 now), there is a bounty for cgminer for Windows on the Bulgarian Bitcoin forum: http://bitcoinbg.eu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=377

Happy Hashing Smiley

The patch for cgminer is available for download from the technobit's web page.

I've done it for Windows, but the there are some problems with the USB driver and the device is not recognized by the cgminer.

In that vein, is the source code available that the firmware image was built from?  In particular I'm after the changes to cgminer.

I already bricked a WR703N somehow trying to flash the image onto it.

Very nice !

Hopefully, this spells good news for the Klondike and derivative designs that sprang up from it.

Looks like the various problems are on their way to being solved.

This is actually the first Klondike - based design to be fully confirmed working with 16 chips & 400Mhz. Great job Marto & team
Wrong!
look deeply into cgminer shot it says 500 so fully confirmed it works even better Wink

Impressive work! Yet the best Avalon based miner available.

Is there a setup guide for these miners directly without the modem?

i would be happy to donate some mBTC for the guy who does this (my HEX16A will arrive next week probably)

It will be straightforward  when the cgminer version for windows is ready for download, no need for tutorial. I'll update this topic with more info when available.

Thanks for sharing! Now, I regret not buying when they were available.

Ah, well: 6 different pre-orders from 3 diff. mfgs. should be more than enough for now, right?

Still avalaible on : http://technobit.eu/index.php?id_product=21&controller=product

But you need avalon chips...

With all the refunds...seems pretty hard to find now.

Nice!

Where did you get the CGminer or a plugin for CGminer?

It is build in the router's firmware, AFAIK the sources will be available for download on Technobit's support site.

Nice post.
Great evaluation!!!
