Topic: KnC miner custom OS for beaglebone (Read 2587 times)
Sounds like a fun experiment seeing the miner drop from 290 to 180 Gh is not funny and costs me even more considering its allready loosing money
Hi,
As many of you are already aware, there have been a lot of issues with firmware for the KnC series miners, attempts to replace this code with familiar tried and tested systems fails because
the system right now works in flash, which is why you loose it on reboot.
So my plan is to source a beaglebone and develop a microsd image with a more common OS like Debian or Ubuntu with BFGminer on that i can release to everyone thus surviving reboots.
If you like the idea donate here: 1Nm8mRuuCYQqDwY8HhNGPsAQ1KKE3ykQ7o
This will be a plug a play type setup with minimal config required.
I.e copy the image.iso to a microsd plug the microsd into your miner and reboot..
