Topic: Linux mining distro for the Raspberry PI - MinePeon - page 130. (Read 685140 times)
Is there a list of supported devices?
Hi, I've been following your work for a while but only just gave your latest version a try today on my new 512K model B.
Everything seemed OK until it tried to start the dhcpcd service - this failed with an error 1. So no Ethernet for me.
To cut a long story short it appears the dhcpcd startup was trying to re-lease an old IP address 192.168.1.210 each time (I guess this is an address from your system put in during the img creation?).
This could not work because my network is 192.168.0.xxx
So, following info in the Arch Linux Network Config wiki, I set a static address (the same address my dhcp server was trying to give it) into the /etc/conf.d/dhcpcd file with DHCPCD_ARGS="-q -s 192.168.0.x" and a quick re-boot later I was in business.
Thanks for all your hard work on Minepeon.
I'll report back futher when/if my BFL boxes ever turn up.

By the way, people have been asking me for x86 support for minpeon (think GPU and litecoin mining).
If you want it post in this thread;-

Hi All,
I have had to remove all access to the wiki while I delete all of the spam. In the mean time I have setup a forum at http://minepeon.com/smf/ . Logon and request wiki access if you need it.

My pi decided to bork so I started from scratch.
git pull isnt working yet :-)

Yeah yeah (how did I know you would bring that up 
).
I am kind of waiting to see how the ASIC's go before doing that. I want to make sure I squeeze every iota of juice out of them.

Well on the standard rpi distro, cgminer (the only one worth using - none of this crap HW error problems like the other trash) I get 3% CPU for a Jala ).I am kind of waiting to see how the ASIC's go before doing that. I want to make sure I squeeze every iota of juice out of them.

so should be the same.
I've only got one working 8GB SD (and the original 2GB that I'm not going to wipe)
I guess I'll get another soon and try out this for a ... day ... I dislike a distro that treats people like idiots ... I use root - always have and always will.

sudo screen -r
The mining process need to talk directly to hardware (reliably), best way to do that is to use UID 0 (root).

You can always do;-
sudo -i
and that will give you a root shell
. The privilege separation that I have done is to make sure that if a process is compromised they don't gain access to other processes. It can be a pain in the ass when your ssh'ed in though so I mostly work as root (I have had yeas of experience at doing it though, don't blame me if you "rm -rf /" ).

I have 2 8gb SD cards so when I first broke my last one I just swapped it and was back up and running with the latest minepeon within 1 minute! haha, how many more things can I break now...

Ahhh! I will have to get used to using sudo instead of running everything right from root
Thanks!

I finally broke my last build trying to learn linux so I upgraded to 4-10 The webUI is working great and I have it mining (awesome job with the multiple pools and webUI login!).
The 1 problem I am having is I cannot get screen -r to work anymore

Not me, although if I spot another, will do

My bad, I said it was untested
but the plan is to update directly from git.Also, thanks for fixing the wiki (I assume it was you)

btw your graph labels say seccond as opposed to second so I updated the html.
Gahh, did I ever tell you I am horrably dyslexic? Thanks for spotting it, fixed in git now (https://github.com/MineForeman/MinePeonWebUI/)
Do you plan on adding a script to pull updates to your work.
Want to try something totally unsupported or tested? Assuming your useing the latest version as root change into "/opt/minepeon/" and "git pull". All going well you should get the latest cgminer & bfgminer binaries that support ASIC's (Avalon and BFL). It is the start of the update system.
Thanks for the testing and feedback, it helps.

Just installed to an unused 256Mb pi and its sitting there cpu mining whilst I await delivery of some Enterpoint FPGA's
I stuck a script in cron to shut it down if the cpu goes over 60c
currently it is quite happy mining away (if you can call it that at 100Kh/s)
running /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp reports the temp=37.9'C
I also installed ufw to give it some sensible iptabling and its great.
btw your graph labels say seccond as opposed to second so I updated the html.
Also as your not likely to cpu mine on it for long people wont care but the graph scale is Mh with a cpu only it implies 100Mh
Im sure with something plugged in that will be a forgotten memory.

I used pacman to update the OS in general
Thanks for your work on this, its brilliant stuff

Hmmmm, it is probably your ssh guard that is building up lor log files. I will get logrotate to keep a better eye on it (and btmp) so we can avoid problems.
Your logs must have really been HUGE by the way .
