As of now, if you want to run the cgminer (Campaign #3) (for 1.6+GH/s ASICs) app, you need to make the following changes...

How to run the new asic plan_class?

1. download BOINC client 7.4.12 here...http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/?C=M;O=D
2. install BOINC
3. create or edit a cc_config.xml in boinc/data with content:

<cc_config>
<options>
<coproc>
<type>miner_asic</type>
<count>1</count>
</coproc>
</options>
</cc_config>


4. start BOINC, you will see a line in event log:

GPU specified in cc_config.xml: 1 miner_asic

The app is a mix of NCI and CPU. Its not using any CPU time + have a work queue. In this config it is only running 1 WU at the same time.

If more apps have the same plan_class it should also run only 1 WU (still untested). An app_config file is no longer needed with max_concurrent.

This is all in the FAQ thread at BU...http://www.bitcoinutopia.net/bitcoinuto ... php?id=303

7.4.12 now required for the r-box 20Gh/s WUs. My client stopped downloading new WUs until I upgraded. Same cc_config.xml changes.
