Hi all; I've been following this thread for a few days, initially pointing my efforts to getting my U1's working under OSX.

Firstly, I'll state that I'm running a VM of Win7 on OSX because I can't get the AntGen1/AnMiner repo to make on OSX. Therefore, I'm having some trouble with 2x U1 sticks under Win7.

What I'm experiencing on Win7, now that I have all drivers installed, is a rollercoaster ride of hashing.

Inserting the first U1, it hashes up to the desired speed (1.6GH/s+), and then stabilizes. Inserting the second U1, it too hashes up to the desired speed, and then stabilizes. It's stable for approximately 20 seconds. Then, the hashrate plummets slowly (down to >100MH/s) for each device. Wait another 20 seconds, and both will bounce back to the desired speed. Additionally, my HW error rate is around 7-10%, with the vast majority of the errors appears in the "plummet" phase.

I can't figure out what the heck is going on; if anyone has any advice I'd love to hear it.

Hi I'm running on OSX but my setup will be quite different as I've a couple of aftermarket USB 3.0 cards in it: an old one I can't remember the name of and a CalDigit. I've tried running various miners off it. Got a similar sounding USB polling weirdness messing with me. To stamp on that I played with "USB Prober" in Developer/Applications/Utilities. (You need the developer tools installed) I went to USB logger and hit start. My USB polling problems went away. I've not bothered digging further than that as the last few bitcoin-qt's were discouraging so've given up on the OSX version for now and went the VM route for that part. USB logger also gives a nice log of what's plugging in and out.

I too am running my miners of an externally powered USB hub, but what I'm most curious about is how you built the AntGen1/AntMiner cgminer repo on OSX. I've been hit with a dozen errors that I simply can't troubleshoot because a dozen more open up after each one I squash.

Could you please provide some additional information on your cgminer make, setup, and run procedures for OSX? I would be very grateful.

I just followed instructions from Nate Woolls and both cgminer and bfgminer built fine for me: http://blog.nwoolls.com/2013/04/24/bitcoin-mining-on-mac-os-x-cgminer-bfgminer/

Interesting, I'll try that right now. Did you use ANY of the configuration options from the AntMiner/AntGen guide? I was under the impression was had to use their custom cgminer build to get it working.

EDIT: I built per the instructions in the link, but now --bmsc-options are not recognized. Were you able to add this somehow?
