I seem to be having some trouble switching to bfgminer as the auto-start miner.

I did the following:

Code:

sudo systemctl stop cgminer.service
sudo systemctl disable cgminer.service
sudo systemctl enable bfgminer.service
sudo systemctl start bfgminer.service

But the miner never seems to start. So I dug in and started bfgminer via ssh only to receive the message "All devices disabled".

Might I have to edit the line in bfgminer.service that starts the miner?

All that said, MinePeon is freaking awesome, was plug and play for using cgminer with a block erupter (pi will power 1 off it's own ports surprisingly). Only exception to plug and play was setting up wifi (still super easy thanks to wicd-curses) and setting up auto ntp time updating at start (time issue was really bugging me). Thank you so much for getting all this together, and I love the new stats pages, keep up the freaking awesome work!

Unfortunately with the 3.x.x series bfgminer and cgminer went two different ways as to how they use USB, bfgminer still works but you may need to edit;-

/usr/lib/systemd/system/bfgminer.service

And put your options into it.

Thanks! Though I did make the edit and I'm still getting "all devices disabled" perhaps I'm missing something else? Here's what the ExecStart line in bfgminer.service looks after the small edit:

Code:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/screen -dmS bfgminer /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer -S all --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 --api-listen --api-allow W:172.0.0.1 --sharelog /opt/minepeon/log/share.log -c /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf

EDIT: strangely starting the service didn't work (after enabling) but a quick reboot on the pi and it's all good now, mining away with the latest bfgminer (very slightly less cpu usage)
