I got Satoshi's avatar!
Have anybody tried regular Beaglebone black, rev B or C together with bitmain microSD card to control S2?
Did it work?
I'm pretty sure Klondike_bar successfully replaced his BBB a while back, I'm just not sure where that post is...

I tried an SD card with the bitmaintech firmware flashed on it and it booted successfully.  i could access the web config for the miner and watch as it hashed at 0 ghs due to no asic's installed.

i have NOT tried replacing the BBB from bitmaintech with this one, though, so i can't really confirm that it works.

If anyone does, i too would love to hear about it.  Like to know if my spare parts are usable as spares or not.

Tried to flash the S2 today. All I get is:

 tar: invalid magic tar: short read cp: can't stat '*': No such file or directory

This is after I extract the file to a new folder. What is the name of the extracted file?

Mine is this: initramfs.bin.SD-20140619

Do we need to modify the file? I have done these on router before not sure why this is not working. Huh
Yeah, Don't extract the tar file! This is because our more knowledge!  Wink I did the same and gave the same error! use the same tar file and that worked for me!

That worked! Thanks for the info.  Wink

Another issue is coming up on these last 2 S2 units. If I reboot them for any
reason, they lose their mind and reset to factory. Any idea why???

Sorry if someone else posted this problem, sent an email to Bitmain and waiting to hear back.

Thanks

flash ur firmware sir

same problem here!
Where to download firmware from?

It won't help! You have to exchange the SD card and flash the image on it.

Apparently i was wrong, in my case i changed the SD cards and worked, but did not try to upgrade the FW.

I hope the units that they will ship on June 26 will have current firmware and software. It's OK to tinker, but I prefer them fixing this issue, not myself.
