For BitBurner X and BitBurner XX devices you should use twice the number of
boards in the stack. e.g. for a two-board stack you would use 4. For
BitBurner Fury devices you should use the total number of BitFury chips in the

This is the clock speed of the devices. For Avalon devices, only specific
values work, 256, 270, 282 (default), 300, 325, 350 and 375. For BitBurner
devices, other values can be used.
Note that setting a value with an asterisk next to it will be using your
avalon outside its spec and you do so at your own risk.
The default frequency for BitBurner X and BitBurner XX boards is 282. The
default frequency for BitBurner Fury boards is 256. Overclocking is
possible - please consult the product documentation and/or manufacturer for
information on safe values. Values outside this range are used at your own
risk. Underclocking is also possible, at least with the X and XX boards.
eg:
--bitburner-fury-options <arg> Override avalon-options for BitBurner Fury boards baud:miners:asic:timeout:freq
This option takes the same format as --avalon-options. When specified, it
will be used for BitBurner Fury boards in preference to the values specified
in --avalon-options. (If not specified, BitBurner Fury boards will be
controlled by the values used in --avalon options.) See --avalon-options for
a detailed description of the fields.
This option is particularly useful when using a mixture of different BitBurner
devices as BitBurner Fury devices generally require significantly different
clock frequencies from Avalon-based devices. This option is only available
for boards with recent firmware that are recognized by cgminer as BBF.
eg:
--bitburner-voltage <arg> Set BitBurner core voltage, in millivolts
--bitburner-fury-voltage <arg> Set BitBurner Fury core voltage, in millivolts
Sets the core voltage for the BitBurner Fury boards. The default value is
900. Overvolting is possible - please consult the product documentation
and/or manufaturer about the safe range of values. Values outside this range
are used at your own risk.
This option is only available for boards with recent firmware that are
recognized by cgminer as BBF. For boards recognized as BTB, see
--bitburner-voltage
eg:
--bitburner-voltage <arg> Set BitBurner (Avalon) core voltage, in millivolts
Sets the core voltage for the Avalon-based BitBurner X and BitBurner XX
boards. The default value is 1200. Overvolting and undervolting is
possible - please consult the product documentation and/or the manufacturer
for information about the safe range. Values outside this range are used at
your own risk.
Older BitBurner Fury firmware emulates a BitBurner XX board and is identified
by cgminer as BTB. On these devices, --bitburner-voltage is used to control
the voltage of the BitBurner Fury board. The actual core voltage will be
300mV less than the requested voltage, so to run a BitBurner Fury board at
950mV use --bitburner-voltage 1250. The default value of 1200 therefore
corresponds to the default core voltage of 900mV.

Version 3.6.5 - 26th October 2013
- klondike - fix uninitialised dev bug
- Adjust the binary ntime data in submit_noffset_nonce even when there is no hex
ntime string for eg. gbt.
- Put an entry into the work struct telling drivers how much they can roll the
ntime themselves.
- Only set libusb cancellable status if the transfer succeeds.
- Remove the applog on miner threads dying to prevent deadlocks on exit.
- Do one extra guaranteed libusb event handling before testing if there are any
pending async usb transfers.
- Use a linked list for all usb transfers instead of just cancellable ones.
- Provide a mechanism for informing drivers of updated work templates for
stratum and gbt mining.
- Add cancellable transfers correctly to the ct_list
- Check for presence of thr in icarus get nonce for startup nonce testing to
work.
- Use cancellable usb transfers in the icarus driver to avoid having to loop and
poll when waiting for a response and to speed up work restart response time.
- Add a usb_read_ii_timeout_cancellable wrapper
- Add usb transfer cancellation on shutdown and documentation regarding where
cancellable transfers are suitable.
- Use cancellable transfers on bitfury device.
- Cancel cancellable usb transfers on work restart messages.
- Don't bother having a separate cancellable transfer struct for usb transfers,
simply include the list in the usb_transfer struct.
- Add wrappers for usb_read_cancellable and usb_read_timeout_cancellable
- Specifically set the cancellable state for it to not be uninitialised in the
usb transfer struct.
- Alter the usb cancellable list only under cgusb_fd_lock write lock.
- Pass the cancellable option to _usb_read options to decide on whether to add
usb transfers to the list of cancellable transfers.
- Create a linked list of potentially cancellable usb transfers.
- Don't attempt to disable curses or print a summary during an app restart to
prevent deadlocks.
- Keep the libusb event handle polling thread active until there are no async
usb transfers in progress.
- Keep a global counter of how many async usb transfers are in place.
- Perform libusb_submit_transfer under the write variant of cgusb_fd_lock
- klondike - error condition handling
- Avoid entering static libusb directory if --with-system-libusb is enabled.
- Minor opencl build corrections.
- Enable dynamic linking against system libusb --with-system-libusb
- Modify Makefile to only include opencl related code when configured in.
- Convert opencl to need to be explicitly enabled during build with
--enable-opencl
- Implement a cglock_destroy function.
- Implement a rwlock_destroy function.
- Implement a mutex_destroy function.
- Add usb command name to critical libusb error reporting.
- Use windows' own higher resolution time and handlers allowing us to have
higher precision absolute timeouts.
- Fix lldiv error in windows cgminer_t calculation.
- miner.php correct sort gen field names largest to smallest
- api ... the code related to device elapsed
- api add device elapsed since hotplug devices Elapsed is less than cgminer
Elapsed
- Drop usb buffering message to debug logging level.
- Do the ntime binary modification to the work struct when submitting an ntime
offset nonce within submit_noffset_nonce
- Code cleanup and improved documentation
- Improvements to support for BitBurner boards
- Convert libusb transfer errors to regular libusb error messages to allow for
accurate message reporting.
Version 3.6.4 - 18th October 2013
- Fixing the memory leak for remaining semaphores means we can go back to using
