Sweet, waiting for my new pi to come. I just built bfgminer on my ubuntu box with the needed libmicrohttpd built in to run my new blade. Took way too damm long to figure out how to do it, but it is up and mining now. Going to give minepeon a try with the blades when the new pi arrives Smiley

I know this probably isn't the best place to ask, but are there any USB plug n play displays that can be used with the Pi?  Found a 3.5" car display and the displays on rasppilcd.com but I'm looking for something closer to the 3.5" that already is USB.  Feel free to shoot me a PM rather than reply on here.

The version of BFGMiner in 2.4.0 PR1 (or PR2) does come compiled with libmicrohttpd, you will just need to add the http-port option to the minepeon.conf.

Well that makes it easy, Thanks for the info. I sold my hubs and usb asic's and am replacing them with a couple blades and a drillbit 8 board when they start shipping.

I can't wait for the drillbit boards to start shipping Wink

Hopefully I'll see my bluefury miners next week as well...

@tk1377 you mentioned a while back you were getting a some asic blade's. You get them up and running yet with minepeon?

yes, without any issues using BFGMiner as a proxy.

Any specific issues that you're running into?

No just wondering how to set it up on mine peon. I have a blade on the way to me in the mail. I have been reading and it seems the way to run these is through a stratum proxy. Is the version of bfgminer used in the latests beta complied with the needed micro http support? Do I just need to edit the miner start up command to turn it on?

Is the sharelog required for the UI or stats to work? Was thinking of leaving it off so disk space wouldn't slow get eaten up. Smiley

I think you did not notice in my statement that the Bitfury is connected via SPI controller (available on the 26 pin GPIO header of the Raspberry Pi) and not via USB.

I did, I loaded the spi drivers into 2.4.0 PR2 specifically for that.

Unfortunately without one in had I cannot help you much.

I received yesterday a bitfury, from Spain, and it connects to the RPI via SPI and not via USB.

The drivers are present and working in PR2.  I don't have any bitfury's though so I have not been able to set so I suppose you should just wire them up and see what happens.

Hi Neil and thanks for your answer.

I tried the bitfury and bfgminer 3.3.0 doesn't detect any device:

Devices
No devices running

Then I tried with cgminer 3.6.4 also included in PR2 of MinePeon 0.2.4... Same "No devices running" message.

Is there an easy way to update to the latest cgminer that I just can't find?

Grab yourself a copy of RP2 from;-

http://minepeon.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=291

It has all of the latest.  It is probably going to be released as MinePeon Beta 0.2.4 on the weekend.
