GekkoScience NewPac / Terminus R606 (BM1387) Support Thread

######################################## #GekkoScience NewPac / Terminus R606 (BM1387) Support Thread# ######################################## NewPac: Terminus R606: ================= =Big Thanks To Everyone= ================= Shoutout to all the folks here who are keeping up and supporting the development of these miners. Your feedback and involvement really help keep things moving forward with R&D. ================= =How to Get a Miner= ================= Check out the respective announcement threads for the latest updates. NewPac AnnouncementTermin R606 Announcement ================= =Performance Expectations= ================= Expected performance for the NewPac is about 0.228 * MHz = GH. At a default frequency of 100MHz, it operates around 22.8 GH. Power usage and efficiency estimates for a NewPac: For the R606, the expected performance is about 1.368 * MHz = GH. At its default frequency of 400MHz, the R606 hits around 547.2 GH. ================= =How to Operate= ================= Currently, you’ll need a build of cgminer with the latest gekko driver to mine using the NewPac / R606. The driver is still being developed in a fork of ckolivas/cgminer. A pull request will be made to the ckolivas/cgminer repo once the code is stable enough. Run commands: *nix [if you don’t have root privileges, check Q&A] ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://pool.ckpool.org:3333 -u 1BURGERAXHH6Yi6LRybRJK7ybEm5m5HwTr -p x suggest-diff 128 Windows cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://pool.ckpool.org:3333 -u 1BURGERAXHH6Yi6LRybRJK7ybEm5m5HwTr -p x suggest-diff 12

waiting for a better hub but I have 1 stick working! note bat file above and please tell me how to add new stick at a freq like 150 I have a new hub coming from eyeboot and plan to mine 2 of these at freq 150 1 2pac     at  freq 125 5 compac at freq  150 with cooling

thanks give me an hour I will fire all up. two new pacs at freq 125 giving me 60gh edit 2 new pacs at freq 125 giving me 56gh and 20hw I am using a good gub with fan cooling. going to bump to freq 150

Anybody on Raspian having issues with the new CGminer? I can only run CGminer for abour 24 hours before it crashes and gives me this error "corrupted size vs prev_size: 0x01b727d0 Then I get GSH 7: toggling ASIC nRST to reset, and then nothing.

try a bigger os drive (guessing) i will get back to this in a day to see if I get your problem

i've read somewhere it helps if you add  to /boot/cmdline.txt https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=494625.msg5932931#msg5932931

Already got the slub_debug hack in place. Think thats for the kernel and not CGminer though. Using a 16GB micro SD with plenty of space left.

My two are still running on bravo-mining http://www.bravo-mining.com/index.php?page=statistics&action=pool Contributor Hashrates Rank-----User Name-------TH/s-------BTC/Day---USD/Day 1      jonnybravo........7.705.......0.000........0.0000 2      dsppage............5.110.......0.000........0.0000 3      MinerSRQ..........1.510.......0.000........0.0000 4      rkotsybar...........0.383.......0.000........0.0000 5      mofoq...............0.178.......0.000........0.0000 6      tubexc...............0.144.......0.000........0.0000 7      philipma1957......0.074.......0.000........0.0000 8      AB1042503........0.051.......0.000........0.0000 9      munkeyminer.....0.026.......0.000........0.0000 10      PhredPhrog........0.026.......0.000........0.0000 11      bugwash............0.023.......0.000........0.0000

Hey, I know at least two of the other guys on that list.

I figured that I now have my 5 compacs 1 2pac 2 newpacs all running at a total of 125gh

yup, thats me on the bravo miner lol.. just waiting for a little cash before i buy myself a NEWPAC or 2.. (wedding payments come first lol)

Hopefully this post will not be delete... But can you elaborate on you command line you are using for all the versions of 'pacs' you are using?  My original compacs appear to be coming up as unhealthy and reseting.

I did windows  win 10     Ccminer 4.11 Zadig on all sticks I have a top end pc with 16 gb a 500 gb sd and an i7 6700t I have an eyboot hub 49 ports with a high end psu 240 watts. I will post bat in a bit. So 8 sticks pull maybe 8+8 = 16 8.     = 16 5x4. = 40 So 72 watts. My 2pac may be dying. But all the compacs work with the NewPacs

What should the vcore be set to?  I just got my newpac today and it isn't wanting to work.  I thought I would check the vcore but I couldn't find what it should be.  Thanks!

So I just got my NewPac works fine with windows7. But I can't make work with my new Raspberry - I did everything step by step from the fist post and got stuck with "failed usb_init" Didn't help either Does anybody has same issues like I do?

Looks like I missed a step. Options: 1 - Run as root. 2 - Wait until next build release. 3 - Append this to the bottom of the 01-cgminer.rules file and try that step again.

Took me 2 days trying to figure it out, now it works perfect, Thanks!!!!

A new build is available:  09a2f37 Windows binary: http://23.108.83.14/images/cgminer-4.11.1-windows-gekko-09a2f37.7z  - Lowered unhealthy hashrate sensitivity for non-newpac down to 33%.  - Added testing options --gekko-compac-detect, --gekko-2pac-detect, --gekko-terminus-detect and --gekko-newpac-detect       usage: separates out miner types per cgminer instance.  detects all types if not specified.       to assign only newpacs to a cgminer, include in the command line options:          screen 1's cgminer add:   --gekko-newpac-detect               remember if you set one, set all other instances too:          screen 2's cgminer add:   --gekko-compac-detect --gekko-terminus-detect          screen 3's cgminer add:   --gekko-2pac-detect      - Added testing option --gekko-newpac-boost       Triggers asics to do some extra stuff when connected to version rolling enabled pools.       Hash rate remains as expected for the frequency, power usage is reduced by about 10%.       Will hose startup if trying to connect with option to unsupported pool.  - Updated udev rules file to allow access to newpac as non-root user. Best practice update process: keep old working version handy. move the existing "cgminer" folder to "cgminer.yyyymmdd"clone repository to create a new cgminer folder as noted from first post instructions.
