Note that the BM1384 (16nm) is the same chip used in the Bitmain S9 and the BM1387 (7nm) is the same as found in S15(17?). ** (this solved itself in a later restart) ** Hash rates are appropriate for the reported frequencies. In spite of declaring compac and 2pac freqs higher, they are apparently restricted to 200MHz.** -detect declarations must happen immediately before the corresponding -freq declaration, with no other settings between.

** Once I did that, only the newpacs were found by the driver until I declared 'gekko-compac-detect' and 'gekko-2pac-detect.'

I had to explicitly declare 'gekko-newpac-detect' in order for the newpacs to be found by the driver.

In main branch they work just fine, but only for the 2pacs.

'gekko-start-freq', 'gekko-step-freq', and 'gekko-step-delay' do not function at all.

If 'gekko-newpac-freq' is declared before 'gekko-2pac-freq' then the newpacs are set with the 2pac frequency.

The only other issue I found is not an issue for PiMP (if it will ever compile) because PiMP already runs everything as root. There hasn't been any activity at his github repository in over a year, so there may be no updates until sidehack builds a new miner. org ( observations post.) TL/DR: It works, but there are some glitches to be aware of and, hopefully, vh will get around to solving them. I made some observations on running a mixed set of BM1384 and BM1387 sticks in the same cgminer instance over at the support thread at bitcointalk. The r606 branch compiled without any problems on that little laptop. Up until now, my compac and 2pac units had been driven by an old HP Mini. If you're technically inclined enough, help is appreciated. org ( compile post.) TL/DR, I was unable to compile on PiMP OS and I don't know why. I told the story on the newpac/r606 support thread at bitcointalk. I first tried compiling vthoang/cgminer:r606 branch on my PiMP rig. Of course, I wanted those features! The new features are in the 'r606' branch. (I believe ckolivas/cgminer has no support for newpac.) The driver is capable, but new features were added for the BM1387 chip devices (including the r606 podminer): automatic frequency tuning and a asicboost being the Big-2.

I do not know if the PiMP miner is ckolivas/cgminer (original cgminer) or vthoang/cgminer (vthoang wrote the gekko drivers.) However, the 'master' branch of vthoang/cgminer does not have full support for the newpac.

The software to run them is cgminer (in PiMP: cgminer-gekko, miner 5301). No, I don't (yet) have a Terminus r606 (2019 release.) Although the newpac miner was released in 2018, I only just acquired some. I've been running the original GekkoScience compac USB-stick miner, and some newer 2pac miners, for a handful of years, now.
