I need to find me some friends like that...
But excellent job working through it and getting it running on BU.

What's your cc_config.xml look like? Also, campaign #3 was removed then added back. Is that option selected in the BU preferences for your system?

BUT its still running and crunching???
It is trying to download this cgminer-rbox_3_win32_00003.zip file, maybe that is why it will not run milkyway until it gets it, but its on project backoff saying retry in 2 hrs 47 minutes GRRRR.

#156 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
I'm getting #3 WUs but don't use an app_config.xml.
I think the issue may be app_name should be C-cgminer-rbox, not C-cgminer_rbox. It's close but computers are so darn picky.

It says C-cgminer-rbox already??
Anyway it has started working now, it was that .zip file that was the problem, it's downloaded it the noo and it's working :wav:

Then what the heck was I looking at!
Dunno what the issue is. Did you say the issue is it won't download a #3 WU or it downloads but won't launch it active?

#159 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
I think you need to grind a fresh jug .
What it was it wouldn't get me any campaign #3, and it was stuck downloading a .zip file that said cgminer-rbox_3_win32_00003.zip that was after I inserted the new parameter in the cc config to start campaign 3 again.
I have #3 now and #4 all banging away, so I is happy .

#160 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
I have one 333 Mh/s block erupter (device 5, for all practical purposes an U1 Antminer) and two 1.6 Gh/s U2 antminers (devices 3 and 4), all on USB bus 1 (oh, the joy of an USB 3.0 hub).
How can I get the 333 Mh/s block erupter to crunch only campaign #7, while the heavy cavalry charges only at campaign#6?

#161 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
This used to work. Don't know if BU has changed though. Use the correct app names also.
Make sure cc_config.xml has correct number of miners in it...
<coproc>
<type>miner_asic</type>
<count>3</count>
</coproc>
Modify your BU app cmdline parameter with the --usb option, where..
--usb <bus>:<device>,<bus>:<device>,<bus>:<device>
app_config.xml looks like this...
<app_config>
<app>
<name>C-cgminer</name>
<max_concurrent>1</max_concurrent>
</app>
<app>
<name>cgminer_4</name>
<max_concurrent>1</max_concurrent>
</app>
<app_version>
<plan_class>asic</plan_class>
<app_name>C-cgminer</app_name>
<cmdline>--usb 4:14,4:16,4:17 --anu-freq 250</cmdline>
</app_version>
<app_version>
<plan_class>asic</plan_class>
<app_name>cgminer_4</app_name>
<cmdline>--usb 4:10,4:11,4:13 --anu-freq 250</cmdline>
</app_version>
</app_config>
To determine the bus and device number of each miner, unzip the contents of one of the BU cgminer app files into a work folder, then from a command prompt, go to that folder and run...
cgminer -ndevs
It will give you output like this...

#162 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
I'm not having trouble running 3 WUs at a time, I am having trouble keeping the block erupter at campaign #7 333Mh/s WUs, while the antminers do campaign #6 WUs at 1.6 Gh/s.
At the moment my system is treating the three USB sticks as equal and randomly assigns 333Mh/s or 1.6Mh/s Wu to them for both campaigns, despite my settings in the app_config.xml. In fact the only thing that changed when I tried to run with an app_config.xml -I did without previously- is that the error rate for the 1.6 WUs has risen sharply.
Is it right to have --anu-freq 250 for both the 333Mh/s block erupter and the 1.6Mh/s U2 Antminers?

#163 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
Look closer at the example. It shows you how to assign devices on specific USB ports to specific apps.
Not sure cgminer will pass the cmdline arg --anu-freq 250 to the block erupters. That's an option specifically for antminers. If it did though, I would say, no don't set the freq the same for different types of ASICs.

I have it back at three running WUs, but still ignoring these settings (placed USB WiFi stick in the hub so the device numbers changed):
<app_config>

Ignoring in the sense that the block erupter (1:5) still gets 1.6 Gh/s tasks for both campaigns,

#170 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
From http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration
<coproc>
specify a coprocessor. Used in combination with the Anonymous platform mechanism. The element has the form
<coproc>
<type>some_name</type>
<count>1</count>
<device_nums>0 2</device_nums>
[ <peak_flops>1e10</peak_flops> ]
[ <non_gpu/> ]
</coproc>
The name given in <type> must match that in the <coproc> element in app_info.xml. <count> in the number of GPU instances, and
<device_nums> is their device numbers. <peak_flops> is the GPU peak FLOPS; it can be omitted if your app_info.xml specifies estimated application FLOPS. If <non_gpu/> is specified, the coprocessor is not treated as a GPU; i.e. "Suspend GPU" does not affect it. This mechanism has two purposes: to provide fine-grained control of the coprocessors recognized by BOINC (NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel GPUs), and to let you use coprocessors not recognized by BOINC.
removal of the line resulted in having devices 0, 1 and 2 -the whole shebang banging away on campaign#7, or #6, or both, regardless of the app_config.xml- instead of having 2 and 4 go at #6 and 5 at #7.....

[ <non_gpu/> ]
</coproc>
The name given in <type> must match that in the <coproc> element in app_info.xml. <count> in the number of GPU instances, and
<device_nums> is their device numbers. <peak_flops> is the GPU peak FLOPS; it can be omitted if your app_info.xml specifies estimated application FLOPS. If <non_gpu/> is specified, the coprocessor is not treated as a GPU; i.e. "Suspend GPU" does not affect it. This mechanism has two purposes: to provide fine-grained control of the coprocessors recognized by BOINC (NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel GPUs), and to let you use coprocessors not recognized by BOINC.
removal of the line resulted in having devices 0, 1 and 2 -the whole shebang banging away on campaign#7, or #6, or both, regardless of the app_config.xml- instead of having 2 and 4 go at #6 and 5 at #7.....

#171 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
The only thing that seems to work is the --anu-freq 250 line.
BOINC manager still gives tasks at random to my three USB sticks, even though I specified campaign#7 for the 333 Mh/s block erupter and #6 for the 1.6 Gh/s U2 antminers.

#172 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
BU is not reading my app_config.xml at all! I enabled campaign #13 again, did nothing for the app_config.xml (that does not mention #13) and voila: campaign #13 runs on my machine :drunken:
#173 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
Dirk, on start up does boinc mention finding an app_config to use ? or does it mention app_config refers to missing apps etc. Post up your new app_config and I'll see if I can spot anything untoward. Which version of BOINC manager ?
The best form of help from above is a sniper on the rooftop....

#174 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
Yes, it finds the app_config.xml
Nope, no missing apps
Latest Boinc manager
but this post says it all:
With the new --usb :1 option and running more than 1 miner of the same kind you must change the
<count>x</count>
line in cc_config to the amount of your running miners. No app_config is needed anymore. For different apps see above.
This will overwrite the --usb :1 option.
and other USB options as well, I fear...

Read above or below, depending on the way you sort the messages.scole250 wrote:Post your cc_config.xml and app_config,xml
#177 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
It certainly sounds like it over rules what you wish to do. One way round it would be to run your miners on different computers and use the home / work / school setting in your account to specify which project runs on which computer / miner combination. Only way I can think of without being able to use the USB options.Dirk Broer wrote:Yes, it finds the app_config.xml

I recall having similar issues while I ran it. I used raspberry pi's to run them. BU and WUProp where the only projects on them.

#179 Re: Using ASICS miners etc on Bitcoin
I've set BU to 10,000% resources in order to get WUs on the systems that run BU.
I mostly run 40+ projects per box (that's x86 boxes, try to run 40+ projects on your ARM boxes...)
