miner version 1.5.2

Hello. I am developing a plugin for NiceHashMiner to support your nanominer.

1. NVIDIA only machine

Now when running nanominer.exe -d it results in Detected 0 devices. But I can still run the miners on this same machine here is the snippet of the log:

So when mining the GPUs are detected.

This is a NVIDIA only machine.

2. mixed AMD+NVIDIA machine

When running nanominer.exe -d on a mixed rig this is the result:

Detected 4 devices:
GPU 0  PCI 09:00.0  8176 MB  Radeon RX Vega (gfx900)
GPU 1  PCI 0a:00.0  4096 MB  Radeon RX 560 Series (Baffin)
GPU 2  PCI 0b:00.0  8192 MB  Radeon RX 580 Series (Ellesmere)
GPU 3  PCI 0d:00.0  4096 MB  Radeon RX 560 Series (Baffin)

It doesn't see any CUDA devices. But again when mining the GPUs are detected:

3. Feature request to dump data in JSON or easy to parse format.

Since nanominer uses it's own device indexing it would be beneficial for nhm to call nanominer.exe -dnhm and it would dump all detected devices in a JSON array where one could see the miner index and PCI of the device. This is how nhm reliably maps it's device detection with any miner

S74nk0 commented 5 years ago

The 3. Feature request to dump data in JSON or easy to parse format. is not really that important since we can already parse the existing output. It is just that CUDA doesn't get printed with -d command and this will not reliably map devices that are missing.

Hello @S74nk0, sorry for long delay. Nanominer's order of devices is PCI buss address order. There was a bug in recent versions which caused nanominer -d to ignore Nvidia devices, it's fixed now with release 1.5.3. Please check if it works as expected on your rig.

@Grumpy-Dwarf Works now! Thanks.
