Hey thanks, I'm pretty sure I had the rpie 3 wrt installed already. However I reinstalled with the link you posted and now the unit is found and is mining away. Cheers Smiley

Are you sure you have the right openwrt firmware version?

The latest firmware is available for Raspberry Pi 3 as well.
"openwrt-brcm2708-bcm2710-rpi-3-ext4-sdcard.img"

These instructions might be useful help, though they are for A721

Hi,

Just starting out, have purchased an avalon6, have it all connected to RPI3 with controller software, the miner powers on flashes green then just goes to a flashing yellow. and the controller software reports Alive Modules: 0, any help appreciated

Wondering if its the Rasberry Pi3 thats the issue, im seeing some conflicting reports that the Avalon6 only works with Rasberry Pi Model B

If I ssh into the pi and do a dmesg I can see that it see's the usb converter.
