Hi jthor,

For AMD GPU that flash with custom bios it can run direct with XMOS, no need to flash back the Default Bios.

For Overclock site, all GPU is diffident, please use back your most stable Overclock Setting will do.

For MIX GPU issue, I am trying my best to make it work. Please wait for next release, I already got a idea how to make it work now.
Because XMOS is running multi instance of Ethminer, it can run cuda and opencl together.

If you have time, can give me output for this command when running XMOS with AMD GPU and Nvidia togather.

~/ethereum-mining/ethminer/build/ethminer/ethminer -G --list-devices | grep "Ellesmere\|Vega\|Radeon\|Baffin\|Eclipse\|Nova\|Lexa\|Fiji\|Vesuvius\|Hawaii\|Tonga" | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d '[' | tr -d ']'

TQ very much.

Happy Mining. .. ^_^

Hi Dev,
Sorry, got problem with my pc, i can't boot into the os, will try again and give you the result later on.

Thanks & Regards.

Hi jthor,

try press:- Control + Alt + F1

can come to login screen.?

After login type command "ifconfig" , find out the ip address for the rings then connect using putty..

Great miner, nice to see something devfree and working good.
I have 1070 and 1080ti cards.
I have to test it.

I think 1080 TI is not a Good Card for Mining ETH use. Because of the DDR5x.

Until now still don't have good solution for it.. 1070 is Good..

Happy Mining.. ^_^

My test rig has an uptime of 21 hours now and it's very stable and fast. Because of the good average hashrate that I get on the pool, I decided that I don't change the Etminer version and wait until the next stable release is coming out.

So in the end the only thing that I have changed is the overclock sleep time.

For me it will work better when the 'xmosconf' is more like a batch file instead of just the basic settings. I saw I can change this in 'startmine.sh' but that's not easy to switch quickly because of the different pools and their commands.

For ETH and ETC on Ethermine it will work fine but there are also some more interesting Ethash coins like Ubiq (UBQ), Expanse (EXP), Musicoin (MUSIC) and Soilcoin (SOIL). But for now ETH and ETC will be the most important coins I think, so maybe in a future update? Wink

Also there are still some English typos in the OS. But I think this is a good start of a new simple and light OS. I'd like to see some small improvements in the next version and I think I will switch more rigs to this OS. Keep up the good work! Cool

Hi Zenfr,
Thank you for give me a change, hope every one like this OS.

For your question here the answer:-

1. For source code I will open up github soon.
2. No fee, totally free.
3. For Nvidia OC I am using Nvidia-Setting and Nvidia-smi.
They was a 3 type OC setting inside XMOS.
NV_OC="1" Present Overclock setting. It will -100 to core and +500 to memory.
NV_OC="2" same OC setting apply to all GPU install on the system.
NV_OC="3" Each GPU having own OC Setting. Need to set OC setting 1 by 1 for each GPU

   You just need to put OC value on the conf files. That all.
   Ex for:-
   nvidia code: NV_CLOCK="-100"
   Your are set -100 to Nvidia Code. Same as MSI afterburner
   Nvidia memory: NV_MEM="1000"
   You are set +1000 to GPU memory. If you can get +500 stable on MSI afterburner, on Linux it was x 2 (1000).

Just to share current setting that I am using:-
This my mining ring running on biostar star TB250 Pro
Using 12 PCs MSI Nvidia 1050 TI card
Celeron processor
4GB memory
16GB USB Pendrive

NV_WATT="52.5"
NV_CLOCK="-180"
NV_MEM="1130"
NV_FAN="88"

Can download for try.

I can accept any recommendations, and make the OS more user friendly.

Ok, thank you for the precisions.
Goods feature for nVidias OC :-).
Any idea about GTX 1070 hashrate @100 W (or others GTX, why not) ?

Edit : I've seen the hashrate in previous posts : GTX 1070 @ 88% (132 W) = 26,5 MHs...

Hi ZenFr,
Try OC the memory to 4000MHz, most of the DDR 5 memory can stable at that speed.

I tested On Gigabytes G1 GTX 1070 GPU stable on this setting:-
Power limit:- 110 Watt
Core:- -180
Memory:- 1450 (4208MHz) - Hynix Memory
30 MH/s

Maybe can give you some idea on it..

keyboard work funny on this os,i can't type "." when i want to change the pool。 and when type "Y" i get "Z".....but it work fine when using putty to control。

That was some mistake on the config when plug in keyboard direct to the Mining Rings, Will fix it on next release.

Using putty to connect is simple and easy and save cost as well..

Happy Mining... ^_^

Ok I figured out all the wrong keys and managed to reconfigure the keyboard for US
Then I edited the interfaces file.
Then rebooted and same 5 minute wait to raise network ans same fail.

I am just not good enough on Linux to resolve this and am losing a lot of hashing trying.
I will leave with one easy solution if you want.
Rebuild this build on 16.04 desktop version. It has all the network manager stuff already built in.
Or rebuild your server version with curses. (not headless but will get the job done)

Good luck with your project. Hope you add some WiFi support one way or another.

TQ for all the Hard work.. I will make it with wifi support on next release.. Will give you PM after done..

Happy Mining... ^_^

I will be attempting to add WiFi support today by editing the /etc/network/interfaces file

I am having a strange issue though.

Whenever I type a dash (-) like for -a I don't get the dash. I get a symbol that looks like its a @ but not quite.

Is this build set for US keyboards?

I can't really continue until I can type all the characters correctly.

Here is the irony- To fix it I think I need this command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" which of course I can't use

can try Shift + 7 for the "-" key ..

TQ for try on error...

Ok no internet for WiFi.

You should consider adding that to the build and simple way to configure it.

Many of us have our rigs in different buildings and just use WiFi to the router.

Thanks

Hi OverEasy,

Thank You for your replay.

For wifi support it should be no issue for the kernek that install.

If you have time, can help me out to check what s the output for this command:-

lshw -C network

This night I was testing again. What I did:
- I used the command 'nano /home/prospector/startmine.sh' and did some tests with the farm-recheck but I kept it at 2000, it's a good setting.
- With 'crontab -e' I changed the overclock sleep to 70 seconds, now it starts 10 seconds after startmine.sh is launched (because I know my overclock settings are stable).
- I use STRATUMPROXY="disable" and it looks like the high stale shares are gone. Now that I have seen the file startmine.sh I understand better what it does.
- I installed Midnight Commander and copied (overwrite) the ethminer file in the folder '/home/prospector/ethereum-mining/ethminer/build/ethminer/' but unfortunately it wasn't successful. After this the mining doesn't work anymore, so I have to look later on what's going wrong. Linux + SSH is still new for me so maybe I made a mistake somewhere.

For now I will let it mine for a while on one of my rigs to look if it's stable, but I think it's a nice OS for ETH/ETC.

Also I have to look why Putty doesn't connect. I got the error 'server unexpectedly closed network connection'. With my browser SSH works fine.

Hi Bigf00t,

Look like you have a lot of successful. ^_^

for this:-
- I installed Midnight Commander and copied (overwrite) the ethminer file in the folder '/home/prospector/ethereum-mining/ethminer/build/ethminer/' but unfortunately it wasn't successful. After this the mining doesn't work anymore, so I have to look later on what's going wrong. Linux + SSH is still new for me so maybe I made a mistake somewhere.

You only download the "ethminer" from the website right? not the source code. You using a software to transfer only 1 file "ethminer", not tar or zip format then overwrite the org file right?
if what i say is correct. You have to do this after file transfer:-
sudo chmod +x /home/prospector/ethereum-mining/ethminer/build/ethminer/ethminer
after that it should be working fine.

Thanks for clarification.

I cannot use putty because I am not getting a wifi connection.

I have to resolve that first

Will try the Control + Alt + F1 command in a while

Fails...
After 5 mins of Waiting to Raise Networks I get no video.
Miner stops.

This rig works fine on Linux NVoC and on Windows.

I am going to guess that this build does not support WiFi.

Also confused as to why your link to the miner goes to an old Genoil fork miner but your folder structure and even your username is prospector which is a totally different miner with fee's.

Hi OverEasy,

TQ for give me a try,

If you are connected Monitor, Keyboard mouse on the Mining ring, please press "Control + Alt + F1" to enable the the display after boot up.
The best way is using putty to connect it..

i never try using wifi to connect. you can try to login and type "ifconfig -a" at the terminal see got any connection or not.
or Maybe you can give a try to plugin a network cable.

XMOS is come with ethminer that buill by "chfast" with no dev fee.
here the link:- https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer

This login ID is "prospector" because i using "Cyclenerd/ethereum_nvidia_miner" image as a base image.
here the link:- https://github.com/Cyclenerd/ethereum_nvidia_miner

Hope to answer your question..

Happy Mining...

Hi Bigf00t,

so sorry for late replay.

Here the answer for ur question:-
1. For Monitor and resolution issue, that direct connect to the mining ring, it have a way to enable when startup. But need a lot of step to make it work. Can i know why you need this? Connect using putty is simple, right?
2. for setting like "farm-recheck and other" i will include inside the setting files on next release, for temp now you can do like this:-
   a. run "nano /home/prospector/startminer.sh"
   b. find the line with --farm-recheck 2000 and change it to the figure you want.
   c. use Control x follow by "y" to save it. Restart xmos will take effect.

3. Overclock delay timer is inside the contab, by default Overclock will start 5 min after the system boot up. you can use "crontab -e" to edit it. Make sure you know what you do ya.
4. If you want to try other ethminer version, just replace the "ethminer" file at "/home/prospector/ethereum-mining/ethminer/build/ethminer/" will do. after replace please reboot the system.

If you have a lot stale share, please try disable the stratum proxy. The proxy is not work so well on some Pool. STRATUMPROXY="disable"

Hope i can answer all your question.

Happy Mining... ^_^

1. When it needs a lot of work I think only SSH will be fine.
2. Thank you I will try to change that tonight.
3. Yes I know what I do. I will edit this in the contab.
4. I will try to replace that version.
5. I use the pool etc.ethermine.org and they only support Stratum mode. With other Linux builds and Ethminer it works fine. I will look into the settings.

I'm still a Linux newbie so some things will need some time to figure out. But I like to learn and try

More info about this:-
5. I use the pool etc.ethermine.org and they only support Stratum mode. With other Linux builds and Ethminer it works fine. I will look into the settings.
Please use STRATUMPROXY="disable" for ethermine.org.
When STRATUMPROXY="enable" it will enable "Stratum mode using Stratum Proxy v0.0.5 by dwarfpool" and disable the built-in Stratum Proxy on "Ethminer"
When STRATUMPROXY="disable" it will disable "Stratum mode using Stratum Proxy v0.0.5 by dwarfpool" and enable the built-in Stratum Proxy on "Ethminer"

please take note...
