I have the latest firmware for the raspberry pi. It boots up to a command prompt that prompts for

hashracontroller login:

then password.

I cannot find the default settings anywhere in the manuals or online. Can someone please help me out here? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Fyi, using the controller I'm running at 3.0
3.6 would be nice Wink

If i where you, i would use user:pi pw:hashra Grin

Thanks, I'm curious . . . Where did you come up with that? Lucky guess? Should I have known, lol?

nice - did you make these?

a friend of mine made them all I got a box full of them ^^ and he intends to do more ... if someone is interested ... in the EU + CH area ...

Its a raspbian image [just mounted it on my linux machine]. with 2 cgminers [sha and scrypt] and a minerd and some webinterface.

To reset the root user password or any password for any user:

Hook up a screen and keyboard:

and do the following:

http://rpi.tnet.com/project/faqs/resetpasswd

After your done remove the init line from the txt file.

I've sent a cc of your request to HASHRA asking for a quick answer back.
I'll let you know as soon as I hear back.
You can also write to [email protected] for help.
I can't believe they didn't include this in the readme.

An update on the unmodified gridseed under linux.

I'm running cgminer on Linux Mint 13 32-bit on a eeePC 1000AH netbook connected to an unmodified gridseed. After ~20 hours of operation:

Normal settings, 900 MHz

A: 400384 R: 4096 HW: 6

CG hashrate: 381.6 Kh/s
Effective hashrate: ~375.4 Kh/s

I have attached my Gridseed back to the computer where I had the COM: open failed problem.

I still can't figure out exactly what does the magic, but here's exactly what I did:

My Virtual COM: port was COM11: so I tried again with COM11: => same problem as before
Re-mapped COM11: to COM2: using the Device Manager (go to Advanced...)
Tried again with COM2: => same problem as before
Disconnected the miner, reconnected the miner, waited for about 2 minutes
Tried again with COM2: => this time, it worked

So it might be worth trying this, although I'm still not getting it 100%

This worked for me. Had the OpenCom error, unplugged, replugged, everything works. Thanks guys! Cool

Ive also had to disconnect/reconnect the USB cable to get GSDs working...
I kinda wish I had a "switched" USB Hub, kinda like a switched PDU, so I could disconnect/reconnect remotely while im at work...

Have you tried plugging your power supply for the powered hub into a switched PDU and tripping the outlet on and off to reset the hub?

I have had 23 Gridseeds running off a PC for over 3 days straight no crashing. Ill posted a picture with this thread as proof. Cgminer is a little messed up and doesnt show more than 13 of them but i can confirm my pool hashrate matches what my cgminer shows

I don't know the answer to your question.
Is anyone else having this problem?

Thanks anyway, I've redownloaded the image and try to write with a different software, I'll post here any result

Managed to install the image with USBwriter http://sourceforge.net/projects/usbwriter/ (I'm on windows), at the end give me again an out of space error but the firmware seems to work good Grin

CAUTION: As the hasha guide mention on last page the web interface start with SHA256 mining selected so if you start mining a SHA256 currency be sure to have the proper power supply and not have disabled the fan in some way. (I know that who is interested in only scrypt mining dismount the fan, stack the miners together and use a smaller psu in order to save space)

Not sure exactly how much space is on a 16GB SD card, are they using the same math as storage vendors (1000 instead of 1024) it could make a difference.
The size of the IMG file is 16009658368, and that is over the 16Gb limit if you are using 1000 as the divisor rather than 1024.
It's 16.00965... GB with 1000 math compared to 14.9101... GB if you use 1024 math.
Some people use the GiB to specify 1024 math and GB to specify 1000 math.

You cannot use a freq of 1000 with cgminer currently! If you do you will see exactly what you explained...no submitted shares at the pool. Max is 950.

Be happy that you are getting more than the officially stated 300 Kh/s! Who promised you 400?

Not that I don't believe you:

New version of dtbartle cgminer...I can tell because of the alternate voltage text (source).

It now "Support arbitrary frequency multiples of 25 MHz" (source). Gotta love change....and the reason I like to compile from the source...who knows how long it will be until someone releases a windows executable of this version

Consider donating to dtbartle!

nice waiting for a windows 7 version of this. although running at 850 i have 99.9 percent error free and get 345 or so. a gridseed not too shabby. but I see you are pushing 390-400

Careful...you can see that using 1000 he got 3 HW errors in less than 30 seconds. Undecided

I use cpuminer - is there a similar source module for cpuminer?

should I even concern myself with this?

I'm running 20 G's off a Pi and followed the directions written up my miaviator and I'm using cpuminer and my gs's have not hiccupped once in 48 hours.

of course I do want to start dual mining very soon - like tonight - should I concern myself with this firmware, If so - I'll just run out and buy another 8 gb card bause the one I have right now is working great...

wacha think?

HASHRA TO THE RESCUE!
I have been authorized by HASHRA to announce....

New firmware for our controllers.
Could these be the ultimate cure for our hash configuration woes?
No more pissin around with tweak this, config that, change this, debug that....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
...

Not 100% sure, but I don't think they support dual mode just yet. The docs say future release but don't indicate which future release it will be, so I don't know if that's the current version or still in the future.
