AMD NAVI CADDY

GPU MINING SETUP LIBRARY [LINUX]

The quickest way to get a suiting driver and highest efficient miner teamredminer auto-installed with most optimal hashing configuration on any Navi, installed quick & easy via a console manager.

Updates

Date	Description
26/09/2022	Added Ethereum-PoW as default algorithm and exchanged the pool to 2miners

Usage

To start the setup open a terminal and download-open the install menu

cd ~ && wget https://b0-b.github.io/AMD-NAVI-CADDY/caddy.sh && bash caddy.sh

the menu will pop up, select an ID and hit ENTER

$ bash caddy.sh 
        AMD Navi Caddy Menu


        ID      GPU Setup
        ------------------------------------
        0       Navi 12 GLXLB [BC-160]
        1       Navi 10 XTB [TDC-150]
        2       Navi 14 XTB [TDC-120]
        ------------------------------------

        Please select a setup id from above: 0
        selected setup: Navi 12 GLXLB [BC-160]

        download https://b0-b.github.io/AMD-NAVI-CADDY/lib/navi_12_bc-160.sh and install ...

the installation will start accordingly.

Once the ID is known (will persist) the install can be triggered directly by passing the ID as line argument

cd ~ && get https://b0-b.github.io/AMD-NAVI-CADDY/caddy.sh && bash caddy.sh <id>

Recommended Kernel & OS Prerequisites

id	GPU Setup	Kernel	OS
0	Navi 12 (BC-160)	5.11.27 or earlier	Ubuntu 20.04.2
1	Navi 10 XTB	5.15 or earlier	Ubuntu 20.04.3
2	Navi 14 XTB (Gemini)	5.13.0-30 or earlier	Ubuntu 20.04.3

It is important to mention not to upgrade the Kernel by sudo apt upgrade. To circumvent a kernel upgrade unplug the ethernet cable during the Ubuntu installation.

Modify Overdrive Script

After any install the overdrive.sh will be generated in ~/miner/teamredminer-.../overdrive.sh which serves as the start script.

1. Set Wallet and Worker

Edit the following lines

...
declare wallet="YOUR WALLET ADDRESS HERE"
declare workername="YOUR WORKER NAME HERE"
...

and save with CTRL + x.

2. Overdrive Capability

Some setups utilize overdrive capability to get higher hash rates. When multiple GPUs are utilized on a single mainboard (MB), the MB dependend PCI IDs need to be determined to set MCLK and GFX voltages clocks correctly and allow maximum memory allocation (before mining workload). To find these use the card_from_pci.sh script in the same directory, by trying HEX numbers starting from 0.

/bin/bash card_from_pci.sh "0"
0   # <-- If a 0 is returned a card was found at PCI slot 0
/bin/bash card_from_pci.sh "1"
0   # second card was found at slot 1
/bin/bash card_from_pci.sh "2"
ERROR ... # no card found at slot 2!

Once all cards are found please override the gpu call in overdrive.sh

...
function gpu () {
cd `dirname $0`
C=`./card_from_pci.sh $1`
C=`echo $C | xargs`
echo "manual" > /sys/class/drm/card$C/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level
echo "s 1 1600" > /sys/class/drm/card$C/device/pp_od_clk_voltage
echo "m 1 1000" > /sys/class/drm/card$C/device/pp_od_clk_voltage
echo "vc 2 1600 900" > /sys/class/drm/card$C/device/pp_od_clk_voltage
echo "c" > /sys/class/drm/card$C/device/pp_od_clk_voltage
cat /sys/class/drm/card$C/device/pp_od_clk_voltage
}
gpu "03" & gpu "06" & ... # <-- override this line to gpu "0" & gpu "1" or any other PCI slots found

nano overdrive.sh

Last edit in line 4 the Wallet address

...
declare wallet="YOUR WALLET ADDRESS HERE"
...

and save with CTRL + x.

Run

To start the mining workload with output (process is bound to the shell) type

/bin/bash overdrive.sh

and to start the process in the background (ssh shell can be closed then) run the detatched mode

/bin/bash detatch.sh
