User magro on reddit posted this script to install on Bamt 1.6

https://github.com/benmagro/Add-SGminer-X11Mod-Miner-To-BAMT/

Installs and works fine except I'm not getting temperatures or fan speeds showing up in sgminer.  Any ideas for a fix?  Had the same problem when I tried to build myself.

BTW getting 6.0mhs from 2 x Sapphire Vapor X 280x, 335w at the wall.  Using 280x config from OP, best I could get out of sgminer-sph was 4.4mhs, 36% increase, nice!


You need to copy the adl header files into the ADL_SDK folder before compiling to see tempuratures

Thanks.  Got it working.

If anyone else is having the same problem -

I altered x11.sh script too look like this.

Code:
...
cd /opt/miners/sgminer-x11mod
cp /opt/miners/sgminer-4.1.0-sph/ADL_SDK/* /opt/miners/sgminer-x11mod/ADL_SDK/
make clean
...

Also edited the conf file made by the script rather than deleting and copying over another one.


Script worked, modified bamt.conf, copied my sgminer-sph.conf to sgminer-x11mod.conf, changed kernel to "x11mod" - runs but get loads of HW errors and half the hashrate.

Here's the sgminer-x11mod.conf, pair of 270s and a 6870:
Code:
"auto-fan": true,
    "gpu-fan": "40-70",
    "temp-cutoff": "85",
    "temp-overheat": "80",
    "temp-target": "75",

    "gpu-engine": "975,975,900",
    "gpu-memclock": "1250,1250,1100",

    "worksize": "256,256,64",
    "intensity": "13,13,14",
    "thread-concurrency": "6336,6336,3366",
    "gpu-threads": "2,2,2",
    "gpu-powertune": "20,20,0",
    "lookup-gap": "2,2,2",

    "api-port": "4028",
    "api-listen": true,
    "api-allow": "W:127.0.0.1",

    "failover-only" : true,
    "no-pool-disable": true,
    "no-submit-stale" : true,

    "queue": "0",
    "expiry": "1",
    "scan-time": "1",
    "kernel" : "x11mod",
    "kernel-path": "/usr/local/bin"

did you get this sorted ? i'm hagin a similar issue


Not yet, spent afternoon buying cheap DRK off ADD fools. Grin  Going to have a play with it now.

edit: pilot error, surprise surprise - I left sgminer-sph flagged '1' in bamt.conf, so I think it was trying to run sgminer-sph and sgminer-x11mod at the same time, with obviously shitty results.  Embarrassed

Took out the 6870 in rig mentioned above while I faff, because I am easily confused, but all 11 of my 270s are now up from 1.2Mh to 1.5MH with my very conservative settings, so about 25% increase, and it seems to be reflected on my DRK p2pool node. Will tinker some more tomorrow.
