Now you need to get those on to the miner. This will give you file called of 150 MB.

AMD DRIVERS FOR UBUNTU 14.04 64 BIT
What you want is behind the AMD Catalystâ„¢ Software for Linux 64 bit system link. You can get them on the AMD support page. If a newer version is out,Īnd lastly you need the OpenCL 2.0 enabled graphics card drivers. The file you should get (at the time of this writing) is AMD-APP-SDK-linux-v2.9-1.599.381-GA-圆4.tar.bz2 which is 123 MB large and was released 8/18/14. Second file is the AMD APP SDK which is needed for sgminer to talk to the graphics card in it’s own language (OpenCL). At the time of this writing that page linked above shows the latest version is 7.0 and the file you get is ADL_SDK.zip which is 1.77 MB and was released. This might seem like not much, but in order to get the most from your miner, you need this.

So use your machine and collect the 3 files you need to make this work.įirst is the AMD Display Library (ADL) SDK or short ADL_SDK which will allow sgminer to get data from the GPU card like temperature and also tweak settings. Unfortunately they are not that easy to come by from within the box. Now your system is ready for the drivers.
AMD DRIVERS FOR UBUNTU 14.04 INSTALL
sudo -sĪptitude install acl libtool libncurses5-dev libjansson-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev build-essential git make gcc automake curl x11-common xserver-xorg-core unzip libxrandr2 libxrandr-dev xserver-xorg x11-utils opencl-headers If it asks you should it do it, just hit the Y key and then enter.įirst the system upgrades to make sure you are up to date with all the dependencies. Simply copy paste the following lines and let them run through. Connect using your IP you noted before (the 192.168 thing) and login using your username/password. The advantage is you can copy paste things over simply with this and you can have the miner in another room or less comfortable place while remotely working on it from your comfy chair. I suggest you switch to your main computer now and connect to the miner with a tool such as putty or terminal. Usually something like 192.168.1.12 or the likes. Login with your username/password you chose.Īnd note down the IP address it has. The system reboots, remove the USB stick, then let it boot until you see the prompt with the hostname you chose (miner01 in my case). When asked to install the grub loader into the MBR, say yes. Everything needed is covered in this guide beyond that. When it asks you what to install, only hit the spacebar once so it selects the OpenSSH server, then tab and enter to continue. It should be behind some router/firewall so there shouldn’t be a problem with that.

I chose “miner” for my setup and will use that throughout the guide, so if you see /home/miner, then you should replace the “miner” with something else that you picked. I would suggest using the same for both, something you remember even if you don’t touch the box for months. Give it a good hostname (mine are miner01, miner02 and so on) and give it a simple username/password. When partitioning the disk, I would use “Guided, entire disk” and just accept what it does. I’d use English as language, it can make your life a bit easier since it says the same things you see online. Once you have one single card running, you can add more, safe in the knowledge that your system is sound. As a side note I would start with one GPU card if you intend to use multiple. Take your hardware, attach stick, keyboard and monitor, then boot from the stick.
AMD DRIVERS FOR UBUNTU 14.04 ISO
Feed it the ISO and you have a bootable USB stick for installation. If you use Windows, then the Linux Live USB Creator is your best bet. When you have the file “ubuntu-14.04.1-server-amd64.iso” you need to put it on a USB stick. With the disclaimer out of the way, here the process.įirst go and get the ISO for Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Server at the Ubuntu site. This might be helpful or blow up your machine, so don’t hold me responsible for any damage to your stuff. I recently had to redo this so I decided to make a write up for this to share with everyone. Ubuntu 14.04 + AMD Card + sgminer Tutorial is now a recommended miner and has a guide in the Github and is compatible with a wide variety of GPUs. This is relevant but out of date :Īfter Ghostlander did so much new work on it, NSGminer.
