Topic: XMOS - Light Weight Linux Base ETH Mining OS - Optimal for Nvidia GPU V2.0 - page 7. (Read 21594 times)

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... ^_^

I like this software, but I think it will need some small improvements. It's very easy to setup and is booting super fast.

I have a few questions:
- Is it possible to make an option in the config to auto enable the screen after booting (instead of control + alt + F1)?
- Is there a way to change/set the resolution for the attached screen?
- How do I change the farm-recheck? Maybe it's an idea to add an advance mode in the config for the more experienced users.
- How do I change the overclock delay time? When everything is stable it can directly start after booting. I'd like to see this as an option in the config file too.
- How do I change/overwrite the Ethminer version? I'd like to do some tests with Ethminer 0.12.0rc1.

I hope you keep it clean and simple. Because with this light weight OS you can make the difference comparing to other Linux based OS

github ready so I can give it a try ?

Dev,

why there is no reported hash rate on my pool stat?
the miner has been running for 15hours.

Hi dev,
Need your clarification before trying. I have rx470 rig which overclocked using bios editor, etc under windows. Before using xmos, do i have to restore the overclock into default?

What about that setting 1250 and 2100, will it be ok on my gpu? I haven't tried to use that timing before, have no idea whether my gpus are capable at that.

One more thing, will it be oke to use mix gpu rig, amd and nvidia? Afaik, ethminer is not working on my mix gpu using -X option, but cmiiw.

Thanks & regards.

Current version of XMOS also can also mine with AMD GPU, AMDpro drive 17.30 already installed, but don't have overclock funtion. All watchdog function was running fine. For AMD GPU, Currently I am using Polarisbios edition to put all the stable setting in, and flash it to the AMD card. It will run direct to that setting, no need to overclock with software any more. Tested on RX470 with core 1250, and memory 2100, it running on 97watt stable with 27MHs.

Hi Bigf00t,

Thank You for give me a try.
Hope you will like the watchdog function and "un-died" future on XMOS.    
for AMD GPU  overclock and under-volt support will be include in next release.

Happy Mining...

I could see running something like this on a pi at the end of an isle of rigs or something.Might want to change the theme a bit but still pretty good.

Still no race is there in which XMOS faced defeat.

This looks nice. I will try it tonight on my test rig.

I am now using nvOC, but at this moment I am mining mostly Ethash and this XMOS looks very light weight.

Are there any plans to make an AMD supported version with overclock and undervolt options?

Hi Overcool..

I just wanted to say thank you..

The watch dog feature is awesome.. Currently mining with 22 gtx 1060's

I was using Cyclenerd's miner (he did a great job with this) for about a month.. I'm happy your were able fork it.

Again, thanks for the features.. I hope to test out the AMD cards soon.



Here's a screen of the miners..

overcool,

my second attemp of XMOS experiment today is to play with the OC.
it turn that OC clock speed is raising slowly.
at the first 3-5 minutes of mining, the speed is still at stock speed.
after 10 min it reach the peak but sometimes drift to lower speed a little bit.
maybe the system got a little hot i guess.
tried with single gtx1050ti OC version. drawing 105W from wall.

is there any monitoring software (client).
i need to be alerted when a miner is off or the rig is hang so i can check it immediately.
sound alarm on a monitoring client is the best notif in my scenario.
plus an email notif it will be perfect.

one question about this OS, how can i restart the miner only, without reboot the whole system?
i need to restart the miner after change the conf.

third experiment is to run 6-12 gpus in a single rig.

btw nice OS gan,
