Just FYI you'll need an older build of MinePeon to test it with CPU mining since it was removed from the latest builds of CGminer
Works great with my BFL Jalapeno
Topic: Linux mining distro for the Raspberry PI - MinePeon - page 124. (Read 684911 times)
those who recieved theirs jala, what was your order #? wondering when i will get mine
hard to extrapolate from this http://bfl.ptz.ro/ (voluntary reported orders and their shipping status)
but so far best source of consolidated bfl shipping data. the mix in numbering styles is intentional. they used 3 concurent preorder systems in the early days afaik.
you can try/test minepeon with raspberry pi and cpu mining

2013-06-10 seems corrupt?

There is a potential problem that can cause the miner to crash and not restart, it has to do with how resources are monitored and maintained (especially with a lot of USB devices). While no one has actually reported the problem it still exists and I thought it better to be onto it before anyone does.
Other changes in this release;-
Graphs scale fixed (Thanks Binford)
Hardware Watchdog improvements (Thanks Sc@rF@c3)

Agreed that hardware watchdog reboot is very cool. I would love to do that for my one problematic GPU rig as well.
Yep, that looks like the one. Please note that I modified it (removed the power passthrough diodes and then connected it to a more powerful PSU) to handle the higher current draw.
Binford - I threw it together really quickly, I plan on cleaning up the code and posting it on the forum in a bit

that would be great! looking forward : )

Minepeon running my Jalapeno and five block erupters
Arduino providing a hardware watchdog function, automatically reboots the raspi if mining stops for more than 5 minutes

Is that an Rosewill USB 2.0 Hub

could you spare some details about arduino rebooting the rpi, please?

dont really have any proper testing to back up my anecdotal observations, but I havent had any hangs on the bbblack, which I cant claim the same for the Rpi (I do have a R1 tho, cant speak to the R2)
Less usb and eth issues with the bbblack personally. again, opinionated observation would lead me to the whole phy eth chip on bbblack vs usb based eth on rpi.
1ghz vs 700mhz cpu, while not frequently an issue, could be if more stuff is added to the webui, demanding more processing for display.
Memory's the same between a bbblack and R2 rpi.
The onboard eMMC is useful, being that you can install the os to it and then be able to make use of the sd slot.
rpi powered by usb connection. bbb has barrel jack or usb powered.
rpi has 2 usb ports, bbb just one, so if youre not using a hub, this could be an issue.
the novelty of block erupters stacked on it as capes would be fun, but still, just a novelty.
all in all, no 'direct' benefit of a port, imo. would just be a potential interesting alternative that's still in the cheap little system board category.
definitely keeping the donation idea in the back of my head
*keeps an eye on current coins earned from my running minepeon setup*

Both the ODroid and the Beaglebone Black could be supported but what would the advantage be?
I am not saying that I would not do it (send me one and I probably would) but supporting additional platforms just because they exist seems a lot of work to me :p .

Bit of a price jump from a R-pi... 
Im still leaning towards the beaglebone black as my next potential miner host platform. doesnt hurt the wallet too bad @ ~$45
... also leaning towards it since I already have one and havent put it to use yet
Would be amusing to see a block erupter cape on it

Anyone have success using a similar device with more processing power than the Raspberry pi?
ODroid or others. This should work right?
http://www.hardkernel.com/renewal_2011/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G135235611947
* 1.7GHz Quad core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore
* 2GB Memory
* 6 x High speed USB2.0 Host port
* 10/100Mbps Ethernet with RJ-45 LAN Jack
* Android 4.x & Ubuntu BSP

Of course 
It just sits there with those errors.

Have you rebooted it with cgminer set to startup?

I'm not using a hub. It's odd that bfgminer works though.
Wierd!
This is the best of the screen shots I have so far;-
As you can see that is two Block Eruptors (AMU) hashing happily away with a Jalapeno (BAJ) all through a hub.
I wonder what is different about your rig.
