Hi all,
I got an issue with USB rights.
Got this message "USB init, open device failed, err -3, you don't have privilege to access - GSH device 1:4"
I solved this in the past, but don't remember how.
Google aint helping me right now.
Pi4B - 4GB - fresh install (new pi)
GS USB hub - powered by HP PS
1 compaq F
regards

so i just bought one @ Bitshopper.
I can use this stick with an gekkosience hub Right?
Very curious if it is as brilliant as newpac and R606

Yep. I’ll be running 6 of them on my gekko hub but not at max speed due to the amperage per port. The ports share a 6amp inductor(?) between them so a max of 3amp per port which is around 500-525mhz each stick.

Sorry guys I didn't made myself clear I'm trying to get USB gekko Science, not the R606. They are very hard to come by those days for any reasonable price.
I'll send you PM. i know wher to buy. my standard delveriry website in Germany has someRe: GekkoScience NewPac / Terminus R606 (BM1387) Official Support Thread
thanx for the tip, but cgminer dont detect them its like there is no support for them in the cg 4.11.1. bfgminer do detect them can i run both cg and bfg at the same time with the same usb hub?
I don't know how it works on a mac, but in linux i would recompile Cgminer and add the option of the furries.In the Github directory of Cgminer you can find the options to add the furries.
https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer
in the "ASIC-README" file you can find the options. I don't know anything about furries, so maybe someone else here can fill it in about what you need.

R606 Frustrations FIXED!
I bought two R606 and 4 Newpacs to start mining. I had many troubles stabilizing my R606 so wanted to share my experience.
First I download the 5/26/2019 version of CGMINER here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5053833.0.
Needless to say I have had some frustrating stability issues for the last 2 weeks trying to fine tune these. I next tried to use the April30 version which caused rejections.
Lastly I download the 5/13/2019 version of CGMINER for GEKKOSCIENCE and tried again. BINGO!!!!!!!! finally stable mining. Get the windows version here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5053833.0 or at https://www.419mining.com and make sure your using the 5/13/2019 Version for R606. I am also using Power Setting 5 (top and bottom red lights lit, Middle light out).
So I have been mining using this bat file command line with high stability. I personally am using antpool and the FPPS earnings type:
Summary: for my R606s they like the 5/13/2019 version of CGMINER only and my R606 like Power Setting 5
P.S I just ramped up to freq of 700 and it's absolutely stable.
Hope this helps someone get their R606 running right. I have been frustrated and this seems like the bext fix. No rejections or weird command errors.

I had another experience, mine R606 are running best with 26-05-2019 version, other versions are unstable.

Recently acquired a R606 from Eyeboot and been running fine for several days, with Pi 4 and Server PSU + breakout.
I check pool status regularly and noticed hashing stopped. Restarted Pi 4 and power cycled R606 but hashing will not start anymore.
Appear to be detecting only 9/12 chips. Is unit faulty?
Verbose log from cgminer below:
Left it unplugged for half a day, then connected to a RPi3 with Raspberry Pi OS fresh install. Encountered found 0 chip(s) again but after several retries, hashing finally started. Managed to turn on verbose and log, until the point it stopped working again:
As far as i can judge the logs and talking about own experience, i'd say return the unit to reseller and ask for other one.I check pool status regularly and noticed hashing stopped. Restarted Pi 4 and power cycled R606 but hashing will not start anymore.

Ofcourse Sidehack should be able to give you a more clear view on this.
Did you check this:
1] Try another PSU, did you check PSU type?
2] Are you using GS breakoutboard? (in my experience it works the best)
3] Did you check USB cable, try using good quality
4] Did you use good cabeling to power the R606? (make sure youre cabling is right, i once got cabeling not made right. On some points black and yellow where switched).
5] ambient temperature, is it not to high?
Somehow one of my pi4 ports is not working well with R606, the other one is working without any problem.
Hope this helps a bit.

just out of curiosity, does anyone do regular updates on their Pi's with the sudo apt-get etc etc? Just wondering if there is any benefit or consequence to it.
Yes, once a month i update my pi. Until now no problems at alljust out of curiosity, does anyone do regular updates on their Pi's with the sudo apt-get etc etc? Just wondering if there is any benefit or consequence to it.

40Gh/s seems low... have you tried pushing the speed up? I have 7 of these running at 500MHz and they hash around 113Gh/s each.

Hi,
Are you in the cgminer directory when you run "./cgminer....... "
The "./" assumes you are physically in the cgminer directory.
HTH!

Has anyone have burnt ports on R606? I have 4 and have 2 burnt PCIE ports, They are running on server ps with breakout board.
Nope, no problems.I am using GS breakout board, GS HUB, GS R606, power supply is HP 1000 W compatible with GS breakoutboard.

Hi sidehack,
Thx for making so good devices.
My R606 are after some experimenting over 1Th/s @ vcore 4, this is really amazing, the software is not doing its correcting yet (plateau etc.). so i think i can go further, heat is hardly increasing.
Gonna buy me some more

We need a FAQ section on the first page of this thread for the common issues that arise. Or simply a format of questions that get answered so we have a good idea of the system rather than it doesnt work, whats wrong?.
Maybe something along the lines of:-
1). What OS are you using? Windows,Linux variant?
2). What version of cgminer are you running? Vhs or standard?
3). What usb hub is being used?
4). Is the hub mains powered? If so what is the power/amperage rating?
5). How have you connected the hub? Usb2 or 3 port?
6). What is the specific problem you are having?
Just an idea. May help speed up the diagnosis of problems.

Don forget to mention the ./cgminer it has been several times now (inclusing myselve), this came along.

Got everything up and running, Pushing 500mhz strong. Has anyone pushed their newpacs past 650mhz?
yup, but need lot of airflow to keep em cool, i went up to 750. i do not go up 650 anymore. running very stable. i only use GS hub and GS powerboard. All GS
(waiting for the moment Sidehack is going to make an PS 
)\Got 1 amazing stick that is running 160-170 Ghs @ 650 Mhz out of the box. The rest are doing approx 130-150 @650.

230 mm fans mounted, 2nd miner on the block.
Speed of 2nd miner looks well @ this moment.
( I think i Am going to name this rig " R18018 )
now 6 miners on it, am half way down now.
After a week of stable running on new cooling block the next 6 newpacs
Again more pictures

How would I type the command to use the boost? Also, how would I add other sticks to the command?
With latest version you do not need to type a command to use the boost. It is always on.You only need to type a command when the boost is not needed.
Miners are hotplug, so they will add automatically in cgminer. Just plug into a USB port and it will start mining (of course your setup has to be right, depending on the number of miners).
How would I type the command to use the boost? Also, how would I add other sticks to the command?
Yes. Add command line option --gekko-newpac-boost, when connecting to a known Overt AB supported pool.
You can run it once with --verbose to look for the midstate messages, but there's not much noticeable difference otherwise unless you have a USB Amp meter to compare before / after.
@100MHz was 2.65W, with AsicBoost measured 2.35W. (default)
@200MHz was 4.66W, with AsicBoost measured 4.20W. (fan cooled)
@400MHz was 9.63W, with AsicBoost measured 8.38W. (out of support zone)
@600MHz was 13.62W, with AsicBoost measured 12.45W. (damage if fan gets tired zone)
The latest version asic boost is always on. When you don want it, u use --noboost optionVh, does the new cgminer version include asicboost or is it still in development? Thanks.

Another update:
after running almost 24h in test setup, the miner is running more stable then since i started using it. Normally i would go to 650 Mhz but auttune dit set it down to around 600 Mhz. That why i did choose this miner, it was the miner performing @ lowest Mhz of them all. But now it is running on 650 Mhz, staying very cool, running very stable.
So it seems the new cooling block is giving me besides noice reduction (this was initial goal of the project), also a better performance. Of course i have to see what performance will be the when 12 or 18 sticks on it. When needed i got some low noise 230 mm fans to extra cool the big block. For now i have to wait on the cables i ordered, they are not delivered yet.
when i switched from win10 to ubuntu, the miner could run in asic boost and where running much more stable.
The latest version asic boost is always on. When you don want it, u use --noboost option.

Thanx for that info. I will search this thread for the info on my OS. I may consider setting up a RaspberryPI 4 to run script. will be less issues I'm sure.

Re: GekkoScience NewPac / Terminus R606 (BM1387) Official Support Thread
The latest build does (as far as i know) not work with serials anymore. This is due the fact the latest build does use autotune and does optmize everything for each miner individual. So the need of serials is not there anymore.
