OFFICIAL CGMINER mining software thread for linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 4.11.1

[sunblaster]

Has anyone got v3.2 to correctly detect ASICminer USBs on Windows? Keeps asking for "AMU driver" even though UART BRidge COM driver is installed and USBs are listed under COMP Ports. Also 3.1.1 doesn't seem to work with COM ports higher then 9, no matter what format I use in BAT file it just says failed to open port.

Here is my .bat

cgminer-nogpu -o http://pit.deepbit.net:8332 -u someuser -p somepassword --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S COM3 -S COM4 -S COM5 -S COM6 -S COM7 -S COM8 -S COM9    

if i try "-S COM10" or any other higher ports I get: Icarus detect: Failed to open PORT 10

I gave up and started using BitMinter

Use -S \\.\COM10 on the command line or "scan-serial" : [ "icarus:\\\\.\\COM10"] in the config file

3.2.0 uses direct USB so you have to set that up, 3.1.1 uses silabs USB/COM driver. 3.2.0 has issues.  So use 3.1.1, or use bfgminer.

ok great, -S \\.\COM10 seems to work.

In my previous post I described the problem.
This problem occurs stably on three computers at intervals of approximately 15 minutes.
cgminer 3.2.0
Now, for reasons of clarity, cgminer was started with the - disable-gpu

Here I found the instructions to provide more information about the problem.

You should merged mine btc, nmc, ixc and dvc.

You can only do that with p2pool right?

M

Nope... http://mmpool.bitparking.com/pool

https://asktom.cf/index.php?topic=57148.msg2365557#msg2365557

True.  That's not what I meant.  Fortunately bitminter does BTC and NMC.. and IXC is worthless and DVC is completely worthless.

M

Than I don't get it... Are you saying that Bitparking is p2pool? It is not. And I don't agree on worthless part. You do get a lot of them and if you are selling smart you get up to 50% of NMC value... But then again NMC could be also be called worthless... But as long as I get something I see it as bonus.

[bitpop]

P2pool does not equal merged mining, it's an option. Slush used to give nmc. I've moved to p2pool when he stopped.

Thanks for that. It's hard to know if it's crashing in libusb due to a libusb bug or we're calling a libusb function with invalid parameters. I'm inclined to always blame our code first to keep looking for a bug since our code is under very heavy development. We're revamping that section of code somewhat and hopefully indirectly address it.

Noob here. I have a new/used Asus on Windows 7.  Trying to ruin cgminer-nogpu.  Plain Cgminer won't run. 

cgminer gives me an error saying:

"The program can't start because OpenCL.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

When I run cgminer-nogpu it says:



I tried to follow all the other thread's instructions.  All the read me files.  Some things didn't make any sense to me, couldn't do what they were saying.  What does all this mean above?  Obviously I need to install a driver or fix something.  What should I do?  Can someone give me a user friendly instructions link?  Thanks!!

[bitpop]

I posted instructions earlier. You'll know when you succeeded when your com ports disappear

Earlier?  This thread has 540 pages, a little help?

Using cgminer on windows 7

Drivers installed with zadig as described and can view in device manager

I set up a .bat file and I when I try to run it, it flashes on the screen and automatically closes. Says "-S unrecognized option" Any ideas why?  I unchecked "hide extensions for all file types" as instructed when creating a .bat file.

My text in the bat file reads as follows: (replacing user/pass with xxx/yyy)

C:\cgminer\cgminer-nogpu.exe -o http://rr.btcmp.com:8332 -u xxx -p yyy d --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM3

The pathway is correct.  Can anyone see any problems?  Only 1 miner plugged into usb port. Thanks!

The command line you posted is for the 3.1.1 version of cgminer (which does not use zadig).  The 3.2 version of cgminer does not need --icarus-options --icarus-timing or -S.

Also, the 3.2 version often doesn't work for asicminer USB devices.  The issue is under investigation.  The most reliable way to get this working is to use the older 3.1.1 version of cgminer with the command line you posted above.

Use version 3.1.1 for Icarus/Lancelot/Erupter devices.  I thought it suppose to be -S \\.\COM3

Tried v3.1.1, tried / & \ both ways.  Still same thing.

In addition.  When I start cgminer-nogpu.exe manually, enter my pool/user/pass...  It says this:

if u used 3.2.0 and then tried to go back to 3.1.1 , make sure u unplug and re-plug the device . atleast on linux you have to...

You probably also have to undo whatever zadig did in order to use 3.1.1 after having set everything up for 3.2.0.  I use linux, so I can't tell you for sure what those steps are.

[joae1975]

+1.  Need to reinstall silabs drivers for 3.1.1 or bfgminer.

I'm just going to go with a different miner software.  Can't get it to work.  Thanks guys for trying.

*sniff* *sniff* ok, i need some hand holding. I grabbed the tarball from GIT for the latest version. I copied the files into my cgminer directory (this is 32 bit Ubuntu), over writing the existing files. I ran autogen.sh and then make. I plugged in an ASICminer USB stick. the green light is on. then i ran ./cgminer with no parameters. It started GPU mining fine, but didn't show anything about the ASICminer. Do i need to reboot with the USB stick plugged in? or is there a start parameter that i need? Please don't tell me to read the readmes, i did. and i'm terrible at searching 100s of pages of a thread. I did the group join thing in the Readme.

Cgminer version? 3.2.0 has some problems... Windows parameters are  -S \\.\COM"X" ("X" beeing number of com port) for 3.1.1 not complitly sure about linux. I guess something like /dev/"something"

EDIT: I hope I pointed you in the right direction...

stop cgminer

now unplug the USB thing
plug in the usb thing back in.

^ Not troling. im serious.

save this file https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/01-cgminer.rules as /etc/udev/rules.d/01-cgminer.rules

sudo service udev restart

download cgminer 3.1.1 (for sake of clarity into new directory)

Code:

./autogen
./configure <the arguments u normally pass> --enable-icarus
make

ls /dev/ttyUSB*
make note of the devices.

run cgminer

Code:
