Con Kolivas 3b234da4 2012-08-20T19:49:36 Merge pull request #302 from luke-jr/bugfix_ftdi_alloca Bugfix: bitforce: Allocate enough space for FTDI description pointers
Con Kolivas c3e32274 2012-08-16T10:41:01 Cull all the early queue requests since we request every time work is popped now.
Con Kolivas 2480cf23 2012-08-15T10:54:38 Don't try to get bitforce temperature if we're polling for a result to minimise the chance of interleaved responses.
Con Kolivas 83675099 2012-08-15T10:37:51 Revert "Only get bitforce temperature at a time when we have not requested any other responses to minimise risk of interleaved responses." This reverts commit e29d2d92c9aa730c642c8df55c2a96901dce5450. As P. Shep points out, this breaks re-enabling of a disabled device.
Con Kolivas c433f234 2012-08-15T10:19:16 Increase the timeout on bitforce as per Paul Sheppard's suggestion to account for throttling + work time + excess.
Con Kolivas e29d2d92 2012-08-15T09:04:17 Only get bitforce temperature at a time when we have not requested any other responses to minimise risk of interleaved responses.
Con Kolivas 07fca3e2 2012-08-12T10:29:34 The bitforce buffer is cleared and hw error count incremented on return from a failed send_work already so no need to do it within the send_work function.
Con Kolivas f27bcb8e 2012-08-12T10:45:59 Going back to e68ecf5eb275e1cc2dc22c7db35b0bd8d9c799de
Con Kolivas 65f4e2af 2012-08-12T10:29:34 The bitforce buffer is cleared and hw error count incremented on return from a failed send_work already so no need to do it within the send_work function.
Luke Dashjr fa3a25f8 2012-08-10T22:19:17 Bugfix: bitforce: Allocate enough space for FTDI description pointers Con's uglify of the FTDI autodetect replaced a standard C99 array with non-standard alloca that needs the developer to specify the size in bytes rather than elements, but he didn't account for pointer size at all
Con Kolivas 0adbcd5d 2012-08-07T21:21:01 Fix windows bitforce build.
Con Kolivas 0a79de93 2012-08-07T20:55:55 Convert the serial autodetect functions to use int instead of char to enumerate devices.
Con Kolivas 9cae9a9d 2012-08-07T20:49:47 Make the serial open timeout for BFL generically 1 second on windows.
Con Kolivas 7dffa07e 2012-08-07T20:47:18 Deuglify windows autodetect code for BFL.
Con Kolivas e52762c5 2012-08-07T20:26:24 There is no point zeroing temperature in BFL if we fail to get a response, and we should register it as a HW error, suggesting throttling.
Con Kolivas 4443895f 2012-08-05T17:51:00 Count likely throttling episodes on bitforce devices as hardware errors.
Con Kolivas 0d676346 2012-08-05T16:15:32 Style cleanups.
Con Kolivas 31b01c8a 2012-08-05T16:13:53 Author: Luke Dashjr <luke-jr+git@utopios.org> Date: Thu Jul 12 16:49:26 2012 +0000 Use FTD2XX.DLL on Windows to autodetect BitFORCE SHA256 devices
Con Kolivas 245552c5 2012-08-03T09:49:14 Clear the bitforce buffer whenever we get an unexpected result as it has likely throttled and we are getting cached responses out of order, and use the temperature monitoring as a kind of watchdog to flush unexpected results.
Con Kolivas 7fa794a4 2012-08-03T09:26:43 It is not critical getting the temperature response in bitforce so don't mandatorily wait on the mutex lock.
Con Kolivas 5118e3ee 2012-08-03T08:12:05 Check there is a cutoff temp actually set in bitforce before using it as a cut off value otherwise it may think it's set to zero degrees.
Con Kolivas efba82fb 2012-08-01T20:39:12 Print the 3 parameters that are passed to applog for a debug line in bitforce.c
Con Kolivas 7f825013 2012-08-01T20:08:37 Clear bitforce buffer on init as previously.
Con Kolivas 7aa809ca 2012-08-01T19:36:00 Revert "Revert "Change BFL driver thread initialising to a constant 100ms delay between devices instead of a random arrangement."" This reverts commit 89e613b94361a68305a68095b1b8f4756f9ef8f8. Leave the delay between each device initialising.
Con Kolivas a688951d 2012-08-01T19:34:43 Revert "Remove bitforce_thread_init" This reverts commit 2dfe0d628e05763bce09c51420860ef4f2ea7919. Roll back to init'ing bitforce devices at regular intervals. They may reinit more than previously thought.
Con Kolivas ddcf3d20 2012-07-31T22:19:39 Differentiate between the send return value being a bool and the get return value when managing them in bitforce scanhash.
ckolivas 23a8c604 2012-07-31T10:28:48 Revert "bitforce: Skip out of sending work if work restart requested" This reverts commit cf36331d815e7b87131d547b92b9ceaa218d114d.

Paul Sheppard 01a69ee4 2012-07-11T08:07:39 Revert "Merge branch 'ave_time' of https://github.com/pshep/cgminer.git" This reverts commit 242e52cdf902aabd124e600a65b7d7140b11fef0, reversing changes made to 4dc1bf2319daf5d8eae3a486e2bbbaa3ed00c88b.

Con Kolivas 2ce7f28b 2012-07-08T04:24:55 Merge pull request #254 from luke-jr/work_restart2 Turn work_restart array into a bool in thr_info
Paul Sheppard 19b4d2b9 2012-07-06T11:57:53 More BFL tweaks. Add delay between closing and reopening port. Remove buffer clear in re-init Add kernel type (mini-rig or single)
Con Kolivas 957d1961 2012-07-06T20:23:26 Make long timeout 10seconds on bitforce for when usleep or nanosleep just can't be accurate...

Con Kolivas e97adc91 2012-07-06T15:09:39 The fastest minirig devices need a significantly smaller starting sleep time.
Con Kolivas 74b96d4b 2012-07-06T15:05:38 Use a much shorter initial sleep time to account for faster devices and nonce range working, and increase it if nonce range fails to work.
Con Kolivas 13cf5689 2012-07-06T15:03:31 Use nmsleep instead of usleep in bitforce.

Con Kolivas 5a096c1c 2012-07-05T22:39:11 Set nonce to maximum once we determine nonce range support is broken.
Con Kolivas 88dd599f 2012-07-05T22:33:21 Initial wait time is always known so no need to zero it beforehand in bitforce.
Con Kolivas 1b0a0ac5 2012-07-05T22:32:05 No point counting wait time until the work is actually sent to bitforce devices.
Con Kolivas c0c48060 2012-07-05T21:51:42 Use string comparison functions elsewhere in bitforce code.
