The Scottish Boinc Team

Finally took the plunge and set up BOINC to 7.4.22 using miner plan class.

using this in the main Boinc folder

<cc_config>
<options>
<coproc>
<type>miner_asic</type>
<count>1</count> ( change to you many ASICS you have if you want to run 1 app/ASIC )
</coproc>
</options>
</cc_config>

and this as app_config in project folder ( not needed if you don't want to run 1units per ASIC )

<app_config>
<app>
<name>C-cgminer-rbox</name>
</app>
<app_version>
<app_name>C-cgminer-rbox</app_name>
<plan_class>miner_asic</plan_class>
<cmdline>--usb :1</cmdline> ( miss this out if you want to run all ASICS on 1 app )
</app_version>
<app>
<name>cgminer-rbox_4</name>
</app>
<app_version>
<app_name>cgminer-rbox_4</app_name>
<plan_class>miner_asic</plan_class>
<cmdline>--usb :1</cmdline>
</app_version>
<app>
<name>cgminer-rbox_6</name>
</app>
<app_version>
<app_name>cgminer-rbox_6</app_name>
<plan_class>miner_asic</plan_class>
<cmdline>--usb :1</cmdline>
</app_version>
</app_config>

Points I have noted so far
use GPU must be ticked in BOINC manager ( even if no GPU there, BOINC see's the ASIC as a GPU )
doesn't play well if crunching on GPU unless 1 core is kept free
on first look seems to have a lot more errors than running on 7.4.8

I'm running 1 app per ASIC to see what difference if any that makes to my RAC as I was getting a lot of duplicate shares whilst running 3 boxes on the same app. I suspect the USB errors I am getting will negate the lack of duplicate shares. We will see.
