Some people seem to think it's USB 3.0 hub related. Would like to get cgminer 3.2.0 working thoughģ.1.1 works fine with the info I posted above. Not sure how the new version is supposed to work, but 10 sticks on a hub and not a single one detected with new version. The Asicminer USB (Block Erupter USB) shows up as "AMU" i.e. It sets the -icarus-options and -icarus-timing performance numbers automatically for each device also - but you can override them of course.

Yes I posted 115200:2:1 on the first day I got it almost 3 weeks ago and then corrected it that dayĪs you used, you would only use 115200:1:1ģ.1.1 still requires the windows serial driver for Icarus devices (but only for Icarus and Avalon devices)ģ.2.0 will not use any serial drivers and you must use zadig to set the WinUSB driver for them (3.2.0 will be released shortly)ģ.2.0 auto detects all supported USB mining devices and auto hotplugs them all also. When I did that, I got errors and cgminer immediately crashed. Note that I saw a post from one of the cgminer authors suggesting to use 115200:2:1 and 3.0=80. If you need a configuration file for pools, here is what I use: I seem to get less hardware errors on 3.4.2 as well. Version 3.1.1 gives me about 333mh/s on Win7圆4. If using version 3.4.2 (or higher), you do NOT want the UART driver, so follow these instructions:ģ - Run cgminer-nogpu with whatever options you need to point to your pools. Note that if you have more than 7, you will probably need to use this format for the COM ports to recognize COM10 and beyond: icarus-options 115200:1:1 -icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S COMx -S COMy -S COMz -S COMetc

I tried renaming one and it didn't work.ģ - Install the UART to COM drivers from here: Ĥ - Check device manager, you should see items under your ports section now, with the COM port assigned for each one.ĥ - Run cgminer-nogpu with these options: Note that you only have to do it once for all your miners, not once for each one.Īlso note that the renaming doesn't seem to work right, or is not intuitive. Wait until Zadig tells you its done installing, windows may ask you before Zadig says it is done.

As of this writing, the version is: zadig_v2.0.1.160.7zĪlso note you will need 7zip to unzip it.Ģ - After it installs, reboot as windows tells you do. Note the "latest" link on the top of the page isn't what you want! You want the one that starts with Zadig.

Follow these instructions:ġ - As listed in the FPGA-README doc with cgminer, install this driver for your little USB miners: If using version 3.1.1, it needs a driver to make the USB devices visible as COM devices (a UART driver). I had to hunt a bit to find everything needed to get it working, so I thought I'd paste it all here so future miners can save some time: If there's another thread that describes this, I apologize.
