Miner reports speed and then hangs without mining

[njappboy]

I'm running this on a raspberry pi Model B, with 2014-01-07-wheezy-raspbian.

After first boot and running the pi config I proceed to install cgminer-gc3355:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libudev-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev git clone github.com/dtbartle/cgminer-gc3355.git cgminer cd cgminer ./configure --enable-scrypt --enable-gridseed make && make install

The make/make install does output some errors:

The make completes so I start cgminer:

sudo ./cgminer/cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum-us.anc.hashfaster.com:3337 -u xxxxx.xx -p xx -T

But it hangs after the last line of output here:

[CartmanSPC]

I use: sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake pkg-config libtool libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev

[njappboy]

I'll retry the build with those libraries installed.

[njappboy]

Retried but the result was the same. Never actually starts mining.

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake pkg-config libtool libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev

git clone git://github.com/dtbartle/cgminer-gc3355.git cgminer cd cgminer sudo autoconf sudo ./configure --enable-scrypt --enable-gridseed --disable-opencl --prefix=/home/pi sudo make && make install

[Mansouu]

Try to start cgminer with enabled hotplug:

--hotplug=1

[njappboy]

Mansouu - thank you for the suggestion. I rebuilt the raspberrypi and cgminer-gc3355 and tried using --hotplug=1 switch, but I'm still seeing error output. I wish I could confirm if this is software or hardware related. The GC3355 is brand new so I'm hoping it is not the issue.

Here is the log output if anyone is interested.

You are probably running cgminer from the folder you compiled it in, but your initial install with sudo make && make install won't actually install it to the system. You have to use sudo make install, obviously. Not sure why nobody realized this from the errors in his first post. Also, as far as I know, you'll have to run sudo cgminer if you've properly used make install.

freq=1000,chips=5,modules=1,usefifo=0 - That's a pretty high frequency. I don't think this version of cgminer supports modules=. Not sure why you have usefifo= set, either. All you need is freq=850 for your settings, to start with.

So the reason for the errors was not enough amps. Moved up to a 7amp power supply and I'm good. Of course I didn't use cgminer-gc3355, instead I took the zoomhash.com raspberry pi image and have the Gridseed controlled by the pi. Works like a charm now.
