>12 days here uninterrupted. Had to shut down the Pi when I added two more hubs full of BE's for hardware error checking for someone else.

Wow!  I can't thank you enough for putting out such an excellent build for the RaspberryPi!  I set this up last night.  It took me twice (once to be able to install and 'break things/explore' the second for production deployment).

Right now I've got a few ASICs running on a solid D-Link USB hub.

Still running the 0.2.2 release but I've started looking at the Github updates and hope to contribute in some way.

Thanks!

I cant remember, does MinePeon include the BCM2708 watchdog trick? Thought this little snippet was interesting.
That or you could simply enable the hardware watchdog on the Rpi... : http://pi.gadgetoid.com/post/001-who-watches-the-watcher

The watchdog is on the BCM2708 not in the kernel space.
Yep, the watchdog in enabled on MinePeon.

Awesome. Thanks.

Initially had a few problems setting it up... (ntp and wifi.)

But now that it's set up I haven't had to reboot it at all.

Even when I'm doing tinkering with rrdtool to produce my own graphs with the RPi's temp on it.

My next graph I'm doing while I'm on holiday will be an rX and tX one...

I said I'd post back, so here goes: Mine's been up for over 14 days and is showing no problems. It's not MinePeon though (cgminer 3.1.1 on Raspberrian, Pluggable 7-port powered hub).

Huh. I had turned donation off, but I now see it somehow got set to 5 minutes. Interesting. I'm approaching 4 days of uptime, though.

I accrued over a month of uptime with my 5 block erupters on a DUB-H7, but I eventually got some instability. I think we decided it was due to the donation code.

Mine has now been up for nearly 4 days. It appears that the trick was to turn off donation mining (sorry!).

One thought I had, however, is that my Pi is one of the originals - a model A I think it's called. I'm wondering whether that makes any difference?

I've been running rPi/MinePeon for about two weeks. It's always up unless I reboot to add more devices. It has been a joy. Set and forget. No issues to report. I'm running Erupters with DUB-H7 hubs on one Pi and Lancelot FPGAs on another.

Or so I thought. It looks like it's not actually going down, though. The apache server goes down, so I can't see what's going on, but it keeps right on mining.

I put a better power supply on my Raspberry Pi and then plugged it and the USB hub into a UPS, and everything's working great now. Turns out the Rosewill hub works just fine for at least 4 of the BEs. Not bad for less than $10.  Smiley

I am using a Rosewill 7 port as well ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182176 ), with 4 Block Eruptors. Haven't been able to get it to work stably for more than 24 hours yet. We seem to be having a lot of quick (< 1 sec) power outages right now, and I think that might have something to do with it. Maybe I'll try plugging it into a UPS. I also need to connect a keyboard so that I can see what's going on when it quits working.

just bought a rosewill 7 port hub off newegg for 17

will see how it holds up with my single sc.  do I even need it for the single since it's not powered by usb? I would love to ditch it if possible.

Nope, you can just plug it directly into the Pi.

Neil

now that's customer support Wink

I will have to send you a tip once I begin using the distro (without issue, of course)

I'm still waiting for some psu issues to be worked out and the usb hub

currently its hosted on a pc

Rasberry Pi miners using minepeon , How long have you been able to mine WITHOUT a restart ?.
I'm using adafruit occularis rather than minepeon, but uptime since setting up as a miner control:
 06:43:05 up 22 days, 12:36,  1 users,  load average: 6.62, 6.38, 6.34
