#CGMINER MAC NO DEVICES FOUND INSTALL#
I just followed your instructions and got as far as trying to install cgminer, but it I get this result: Both cgminer and bfgminer support the –disable-gpu (two dashes prefix) argument:Ĭgminer -o hostname -u username -p password -disable-gpuīfgminer -o hostname -u username -p password -S all -disable-gpu

#CGMINER MAC NO DEVICES FOUND HOW TO#
UPDATE: Several readers have asked how to mine using only their ASIC devices and not their GPUs. However, if your issues are specific to cgminer or bfgminer you can find specific forum threads for them here and here. If you run into any issues you can leave comments below. Or start bfgminer with the -S all parameter:īfgminer -o hostname -u username -p password -S all You can start cgminer without any special parameters:Ĭgminer -o hostname -u username -p password The bfgminer output should show ICA devices for the Erupter ASIC:įinally, once you have ensured the miner is recognizing your ASIC, you can start mining with it. USB dev 1: Bus 93 Device 2 ID: 10c4:ea60 Product: 'CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller' USB dev 0: Bus 58 Device 2 ID: 10c4:ea60 USB all: found 18 devices - listing known devices The above command should show USB details for each Erupter ASIC: Once you have successfully installed one of the above Bitcoin miners, use the following commands to probe for the ASIC USB devices:
#CGMINER MAC NO DEVICES FOUND DRIVER#
The VID/PID can be found in the device listing in the System Profiler (even if a corresponding driver is not installed). If this is not present, it means no VCP driver is active, or that the CP210x device has a VID/PID combination that does not match the driver installed. To verify if a driver is present, plug in a CP210x device and check the /dev directory for a device named “tty.SLAB_USBtoUART”.

To uninstall the VCP driver from a Mac OS machine, just drag the driver to the trash from the System/Library/Extensions folder (SilabsUSBDriver) and then reboot the machine. I’ve also reproduced their instructions below: If you get a page saying your session timed out, visit the main knowledge base site first, and then navigate to the removal instructions. Click here for instructions on removing the driver.

This driver will break USB support in cgminer. Otherwise USB devices may not be recognized automatically.Īlso, if you are using bfgminer you must install the CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP driver found here. NOTE: if you are going to use bfgminer, at this time you must use the above –HEAD parameter to get the latest changes from Github. If you’d like to install the miner using the latest source from Github rather than the latest official package, use the –HEAD (two dashes prefix) parameter, e.g.: Finally, install either cgminer or bfgminer:.Tap this Homebrew repostory so that you can install packages from it:.Run the following command and fix any reported issues:.Install Homebrew by entering the following command:.Launch Terminal.app from Spotlight or your Applications folder.You can refer to my previous article for details on installing cgminer or bfgminer under OS X. To get started using a USB ASIC under OS X, such as the Block Erupter from ASICMINER, you will first need to install either cgminer or bfgminer. One of these will hash at around 333 Mh/s at a fraction of the power usage of modern GPUs. You can pick up one of the USB ASIC miners for around $90 USD (at current exchange rates). However, recently ASICMINER has made it much easier to purchase their Blades and USB miners. While it’s been possible to purchase ASICs ( Application Specific Integrated Circuits – chips specifically created to mine Bitcoins in this case) for several months, it has been a difficult and risky process involving auctions on forums with one-way exchanges of money for promises of future hardware.
