Does anybody have the commands for installing nano on the s3 by putty?
Tried "opkg update" and "opkg install nano" but get errores on the first already

The repository in /etc/opkg.conf is incorrect, so it doesn't have any packages to install. However even if you fix that (add /base to the path), there isn't a precompiled nano package for this openwrt variant. I suggest learning some basic vi skills, as it's the lowest common denominator in the editor world (any *nix machine will have vi).

What variant are they using with the S3?

They are using barrier breaker. To repeat myself, here are the changes you have to do for installing packages again:

Pathes have changed on openwrt repository server, there are now 5 different pathes. You have to change /etc/opk.conf:

Code:

root@antMinerS3:~# cat /etc/opkg.conf
src/gz barrier_breaker http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/packages
src/gz base http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/base
src/gz luci http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/luci
src/gz routing http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/routing
src/gz management http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/management
src/gz telephony http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/telephony
dest root /
dest ram /tmp
lists_dir ext /var/opkg-lists
option overlay_root /overlay

Code:

opkg update && opkg install nano

should work after modification. You could do the changes also via webinterface of your Antminer.

P.S.: Works also on S1 the same way.

Thanks, there is so much information to dig through...

I was asking primarily for cross compiling, I wanted to see if I could solo mine straight from the ants.

I've the latest github master pull built of cgminer, replaced driver-bitmain.{c,h} with a prior version found in this branch, cgminer-kanoi-ants1-4.3.2a-85fcf0c, of Kanoi repo, and it is running fine.

Working on cgminer-api found on the controller next, no stats show in LuCI, api-example.c needs tweaking as it doesn't compile as is.

Are the kernel modules and LuCI sources available?

Looking at the schematics for the V1.2 S1 Controller the blades are tied to the UART on the PIC, ~~the USB HUB seems to be there only to make cgminer happy~~. (Edit: sleep and coffee help one see how the USB is connected...)

I haven't an S3 or S1 upgrade kit yet to tinker with, besides this endeavor is in the name of pure fun!

Oh, If I use the original versions of driver-bitmain.{c,h} from github cgminer master branch all I get are errors.
