USB DEVICES
|
||||
|
||||
WINDOWS:
|
||||
|
||||
On windows, the direct USB support requires the installation of a WinUSB
|
||||
driver (NOT the ftdi_sio driver), and attach it to your devices.
|
||||
The easiest way to do this is to use the zadig utility which will install the
|
||||
drivers for you and then once you plug in your device you can choose the
|
||||
"list all devices" from the "option" menu and you should be able to see the
|
||||
device as something like: "BitFORCE SHA256 SC". Choose the install or replace
|
||||
driver option and select WinUSB. You can either google for zadig or download
|
||||
it from the cgminer directoy in the DOWNLOADS link above.
|
||||
|
||||
LINUX:
|
||||
|
||||
On linux, the direct USB support requires no drivers at all. However due to
|
||||
permissions issues, you may not be able to mine directly on the devices as a
|
||||
regular user without giving the user access to the device or by mining as
|
||||
root (administrator). In order to give your regular user access, you can make
|
||||
him a member of the plugdev group with the following commands:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo usermod -G plugdev -a `whoami`
|
||||
|
||||
If your distribution does not have the plugdev group you can create it with:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo groupadd plugdev
|
||||
|
||||
In order for the BFL devices to instantly be owned by the plugdev group and
|
||||
accessible by anyone from the plugdev group you can copy the file
|
||||
"01-cgminer.rules" from the cgminer archive into the /etc/udev/rules.d
|
||||
directory with the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo cp 01-cgminer.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
|
||||
|
||||
After this you can either manually restart udev and re-login, or more easily
|
||||
just reboot.
|
||||
|
||||
Advanced USB options:
|
||||
|
||||
The --usb option can restrict how many Avalon, BFL ASIC, BitForce FPGAs,
|
||||
ModMiner FPGAs or Icarus bitstream FPGAs it finds:

For more FPGA details see the FPGA-README
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: The --device option will limit which devices are in use based on their
|
||||
numbering order of the total devices, so if you hotplug USB devices regularly,
|
||||
it will not reliably be the same devices.
