Thread is in construction!!!  Grin

The goal of this thread is to consolidate all informations to operate and fine tune the bitfury miner.

Development:
- BitFury Testers/Devs

Seller:
- BitFury EU/WordWide
- BitFury US

Case:
- Custom Case Design for Bitfury Miners
- All aluminum open air case for BitFury miners

Raspberry Pi SD Image (only v2+ m-boards)
- ver. 1: 2013-Aug-29_BitfuryRasPi_v0.1
- ver. 2: 2013-Sep-27_BFSB_GM2

Information:
- Instructions for BitFury Miner
- eagle .sch format (M-Board v2.3, H-Card v1.2)

Mining Software Repositories: (use with caution, work in progress!)
- Chainminer - Orginal BitFury  Software
- BFGMiner by Luke-Jr
Clarification: BFGMiner's "littlefury" branch (which should really be renamed "bitfury", and probably will be at some point) is currently tested with LittleFury and generic GPIO only, and should also work with Metabank's rigs, but is still strictly a work-in-progress and not considered a stable or even testing release. I haven't confirmed yet that it is compatible with the board design referenced in the OP, but if not I certainly plan to port it ASAP.

compile with --enable-bitfury
con is not going to make support for our hardware because it only runs on linux, pi and needs root access
so this is as far as cgminer support will go from our side Sad
./cgminer --help
--bitfury-board-type Bitfury board type, 0=i2c, 1=mboardv1, 2=mboardv2 (default: 0)
--bitfury-options Set bitfury chip options chip:speed,chip.. eg. 0:55,1:56... default: ALL:54
old M-board probably doesn't work because no-one has tested it
so use --bitfury-board-type 2

Anyone willing to help testing a cgminer fork changes with a full kit or at least one board in each bus (A-D)?

In sync with the latest Legkodymov's miner. For BFSB master boards you should leave BITFURY_MUX_OE undefined in bitfury-config.h and change:
Code:
#define BITFURY_MAXCHIPS 100
#define BITFURY_MAXBANKS 1
#define BITFURY_BANKCHIPS 100
to
Code:
#define BITFURY_MAXCHIPS 256
#define BITFURY_MAXBANKS 4
#define BITFURY_BANKCHIPS 16

Important:



Also please note that if you are not populating the M-board fully the best results will be achieved by spreading the H-boards evenly between the four channels.
