This is a heads up: If they run the OS from the build-in SD card it's likely gonna fail sooner or later (filesystem damages) and will have to be re-imaged, as happened to the bitfury machines. So be prepared to swap any failing SD cards.

Is that prevalent? I read somewhere that it's due to the way people restart/shutdown their systems.

@ninjarobot - is minepeon somehow inherently better at this, does it use the file system less? As far as I'm aware none of these custom linux distros were designed for an embedded environment and hence make normal use of the file system.

Yes - file system errors occur when the system is "stopped" in the wrong moment e.g. during a blackout or an abnormal shutdown. The prevalence of this occurring depends on the frequency of any abnormal shutdowns and the intensity of file operations occurring... In any event there is a finite chance. That's why I switched to NFS based root fs long ago and I use the SD card only for the boot instructions.

They (should) include a RPi.

Hi MrTeal,

The Baby Jet comes with a Raspberry Pi running cgminer on Raspbian Linux.

More info here:

https://hashfast.com/the-baby-jet-controller/

Quote

The Baby Jet ships with a built in Raspberry Pi model B. This acts as the controller for the one or two GN chips in the Baby Jet. The controller talks to the chips over its internal serial port. The Raspberry Pi will ship with an SD Card pre-loaded with the standard Debian/Linux derivative Raspbian OS, complete with CGMiner pre-installed. You can SSH into it to configure it, and install whatever other software you need. The Raspberry Pi’s Ethernet port and 2 USB ports are available on the back panel of the Baby Jet for you to connect to.

The Sierra needs something a little more powerful than the Pi. Any old 1U server, desktop, or laptop is fine. Even a newer Android tablet should work!

Thanks for confirming that for us - or for me as I apparently I was the only one who didn't know this.
One quick question though, does the rasp pi image come with a fancy web gui as well ? Not that It's needed, but I'm just curious to know.

The RPi isn't powerful enough to run a 'fancy web gui' and cgminer is terminal-based.

I'm trying to get DrHaribo and Tacotime development boards, so users who don't like cgiminer will have GUI-based options.

Best,

Not true. Look at bitfury's web interface, avalon (arguably an even weaker processor inside the tplink routers), custom pi mining firmwares, etc

As far as cgminer being terminal based that's not a limitation as it has an API that can export all the necessary stats and info a gui might require. Like I said I really don't care if it comes with a gui option or not, but some more novice miners may.

It should be possible to run minepeon as long as you use the updated cgminer with the HF driver. http://minepeon.com/index.php/Main_Page

Hi HashFast_CL,

Would you be able to provide an estimate as to when those who bought into the MPP will receive their additional chips? Thanks!

After the 31 of January Wink

Still curious about that 400 number. Why 400?

My order is later too.

And a manual. That would be nice.

Looks to me that they were still working on the driver 2 days ago. Adding thermal overload logging/recovery.

https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/commit/c852e213c41a2312f5c3ef73c3df54f49160ce04

It would suck if these shipped and we had no mining software to run them with. My RaspberryPi is ready for them.

Really?! I must be out of the loop as I though they were sending just the units and it was up to us to provide the host to manage them.

Yes the BJ was supposed to come with a mining controller that runs linux. Sierra does not include it.

K, thanks for the info. I guess I shall find out.

John S. (VP Sales) just told me Baby Jets should start shipping out on Saturday!

If anyone can get our hardware through the holiday rush and your local customs office quickly, it's CIARA.

Please post a link to the Baby Jet's user manual. I am assuming there is one if shipping starts in 4 days.

@ HashFast_CL

Understandably, I believe your customers enthusiasm will be underwhelming considering you promised a delivery date in October, my friend.

At this point your company is pretty much looking out for itself by delivering before December 31st, 2013, and not it's customers.

=================

Isn't everyone excited to hear they are going to circumvent the refunds? Wink
