I haven't gotten around to adjusting the parts needed for the R606 to run on macOS yet.
If you want it to try to run it there, you'll need to make an adjustment to use the R606 branch:
curl -o cgminer.rb "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vthoang/homebrew-cgminer/master/cgminer.rb"
edit the cgminer.rb file and change branch from 'master' to 'r606'
followed with:
brew install --build-from-source ./cgminer.rb
I'll get around to testing that when the branch gets merged back. At which point it should mostly fix itself.
Thanks for this - i was able to compile from r606 branch, but i get repeated "failed to initialize (incorrect device?), resetting" from cgminer.
when i go to (U)SB management, (L)ist all USB devices, i am able to see two r606 plugged into different ports. they are assigned "Device 3" and "Device 4". i cannot get them to initalize, and cgminer hangs in the (U)sb management screen and i must force quit.
does anybody have any ideas for osx? I am running off a macbook5,1 on 10.14.2. thanks.
e- solution was to flatten and install ubuntu. problems solved XD
