xmrMiner-tk1 - A CUDA based miner for Monero

This project is forked from KlausT's ccminer version. ccminer is developed by Christian Buchner's & Christian H.'s and modified by tsiv for Cryptonight mining. This project is forked from psychocrypt xmrMiner version. It modifed to work on the Nvidia Jetson TK1 and was done only for educational purposes

Requirements

Hardware

xmrMiner-tk1 supports only NVIDIA Jetson TK1 with CUDA 6.5 (32bit) Ubuntu 16.04 Linux ARMv7 I have the latest flash build from October 2017 Linux tegra-ubuntu 3.10.40

Software

• NVIDIA CUDA =6.5
  • Ubuntu: Download CUDA for Jetson TK1 accordingly to the Nvidia documentation or use some already made scrtipts https://gist.github.com/jetsonhacks/6da905e0675dcb5cba6f
• host compiler
  • gcc >=4.6 (depends on your current CUDA version)
  • clang >=3.9 (support compile of the host and device code)
• SSL support
  • Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
• CMake >=3.3.0
  • Ubuntu: I have used pkgsrc current; bootstrap and build cmake, you can find your repo with proper cmake
• Curl
  • Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev
• Jansson
  • Ubuntu: Download sources from https://github.com/akheron/jansson compile and install
• git
  • Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install git

Install

1. create and enter the project folder:

• mkdir -p xmrMiner
• cd xmrMiner

2. download the xmrMiner-tk1 source code

• git clone ....

4. configure xmrMiner (search for all dependencies)

• cmake -DCUDA_ARCH=32 .

5. compile

• make -j

6. start xmrMiner

• ./xmrMiner
• ./xmrMiner --help

7. example usage
   • ./xmrMiner --launch=12x16 -o stratum+tcp://xmr.somepool.com:4444 -u walletid-hash -p x -k
