Hi guys!
i have a problem. 2 of my Icarus boards stopped working and according to the web page of the Icarus board i need a fuse type  0812 3.15A which i cant seem to find anywhere.

Could any1 give me pointers as to where to get this fuse?

I google everywhere for this fuse.

Any pointers?

Thanks!

i updated to 3.6 and not my jalapeño is not detected as BFL but as AVA0 and AVA1... is there anything that i can do to fix this problem?

Is it mining?  If it is, it's not a problem.  

its not mining Sad

edit:

disabled avalon support and its mining

edit2:

its mining at a fraction of the speed that was on 3.0 Sad

hi! i was on bfgminer 3.0.2 (if my memory serves me right) and i started my jalapeño and icarus with no problem... as an update freak that i am, i updated to 3.6 and not my jalapeño is not detected as BFL but as AVA0 and AVA1... is there anything that i can do to fix this problem?

hi i would appreciate your help. i'm running bfgminer on a Pi. i have 3 icarus boards, 1 cm1 and 1 bfl single fpga
i did the following (made it a script so as to build it every so often):
Code:
#!/bin/bash
git clone https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer.git
cd bfgminer
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

no errors on build

also on boot:

Code:
modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x0403 product=0x8350
sleep 1
echo "0403 8350" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/ftdi_sio/new_id
sleep 1
#BFL
modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x0403 product=0x6014
#Lancelot
modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x0403 product=0x6001
#Cairnsmore1
modprobe ftdi_sio product=0x8350 vendor=0x0403

i run it with either
bfgminer -c ../miner.txt -S all
or
bfgminer -c ../miner.txt -S /dev/ttyUSB0 -S /dev/ttyUSB1 -S /dev/ttyUSB2 -S /dev/ttyUSB3 -S /dev/ttyUSB4 -S /dev/ttyUSB5 -S /dev/ttyUSB6 -S /dev/ttyUSB7

and the bfl is not detected or bfgminer stays in a blank screen.

even though all 0 to 7 ttyUSB exist

any ideas?

edit:
if i use bfgminer -c ../miner.txt  it starts ok but no ICA start.

by the way i've mined with them before but not all together.

hi again.
well i was fooling around with my cm1 trying to make it work in cm1 (i want it there hahaha hardheaded me). so i did
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=94317.msg1073047#msg1073047

to update the bitstream using shortfin_dcmwd4e_ed_test_220_overclock.bit found here https://www.wuala.com/ebereon/Shared/bitcoin/bitstreams/

the thing is everything went kinda ok (at some point i think i flashed the controller onto the bitstream) but then i reflashed the above mentioned bit following the steps.

now i have a red blinking light permanetly on and it doesnt mine

my dip switches are SW6-1 off and in SW1 are all on


any ideas?

edit:
for the record i tried upgrading to controller 1.5 putting the dip switches as described in cm1quickstart and when i do SPIProg.exe CAIRNSMORE1_CONTROLLER_REV_1_5.bit
all i get is:
SPIProg V1.0 Copyright Enterpoint Ltd ⌐ 2012

seems like i have to go back to bfgminer Sad tried cm1 with --icarus-options with different configs baud:4:1 baud:2:1 baud:1:1 and still crashes... it seems its the dynamic bitstream...

oh well... thanks for the efforts... when i figure out how to change the bitstream to makomk it should be ok to come back Sad

Thanks kano!
Will try it out.  I'm with a rPi so no usb3 here. Thabks though. Will try the short thingy (tried it with long and no go). Also could be the bitstream cause (here i'll get hit) in bfgminer the clock is around 200mH/s each and in cgminer it goes all the way to 350. Dunno. An idea.

Will read further cause i wanna use cgminer.


And im using cm1 cause it sounds fun and dont have enough for an asic. Cheesy

yay!! i'm back
so i installed everything as kano said for my cm1

now im running it Cheesy

 cgminer version 3.1.1

i'm using this command
./cgminer -c ../miner.conf -S /dev/ttyUSB0 -S /dev/ttyUSB1 -S /dev/ttyUSB2 -S /dev/ttyUSB3


miner.conf only has api and pool options.

even so, after a little while this text appears

thanks -Redacted-!! that "which" command did it.
there was an old installation (make install it seems) that was screwing things up.

deleted the bin in the usr folder and voila... 3.1.1 <3

hmmm redownloaded both from kolivas and yours.

wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/3.1/cgminer-3.1.1.tar.bz2
tar -jxvf cgminer-3.1.1.tar.bz2

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ cd cgminer-3.1.1/
pi@raspberrypi ~/cgminer-3.1.1 $ CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall" ./configure --disable-opencl --disable-adl --enable-bflsc --enable-bitforce --enable-icarus --enable-avalon

make

still says 3.2.1


then
wget https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries/blob/master/RPi_32/cgminer-3.1.1a
mv cgminer cgminer.old
mv cgminer-3.1.1a cgminer
chmod +x cgminer

still says 3.2.1

where can i get sources to build version 3.1? i need it to run my CM1 on my rPi

http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer ?
Yes source is there ... under the folder ... ... ... ... 3.1 Tongue

RPi 3.1 binaries are here:
https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries/tree/master/RPi_32


thanks! but the source and the binary both say its 3.2.1 and not 3.1 :S is that ok?

hmmm that the rpc calls of BFG dont have the current hashrate.
a friend of mine is currently using cgminer with CM1 so i dont know whats up. i currently run 3.3.1 Sad
my cm1 is second hand.

before running do i necessarily need to run modprobe? (i run it on boot)


edit:
duh!! its right there... testing 3.3.1 and not 3.1 lol... as soon as i get home i'll try it out.
