Good to see!

I will be compiling some grindseed specific stuff soon as well, you should see the drivers show up on the settings page some time soon.

Goign to see how long it stays stable.  Running the CGminer Gridseed build for scrypt only.  It would lock up after 5 minutes or so on my PI.  Killed the default miner to test and enabled API.  It's at 900MHz so there is a few hardware errors.

Only have 2 USB sticks left so haven't played to much.  Systems been up 12 hours mining all 5GH/s but it's going to the donate Smiley

If the gridseed stuff works out over here I would def. be happy.  Had to run a few ./configure, etc. so much faster.

MinePeon BeagleBone Black Alpha

MinePeon has been ported!  For now it is just for the BeagleBone Black ( http://beagleboard.org/Products/BeagleBone%20Black ) and it is very Alpha but it appairs very stable.

I have made up a few quick install instructions below and I welcome everyone who wants to test.  I have also made up a sub board on the MinePeon forums (http://minepeon.com/forums/)  for bug reports etc.

Recommended before you start;-

Update your BeagleBone Black to the latest Angstrom with the following link.  This is not totally necessary but some old versions required you to push the boot button on the board while booting from the SD card.  Newer versions allow you to just put the SD card in and it will boot from that by default.

http://beagleboard.org/Getting%20Started#update

Install Instructions

1. Download the image MinePeon-0.2.4.6-BeagleBoneBlack-Alpha.img from;-

http://sourceforge.net/projects/minepeon/files/release/

2. Write the image to a SD card (minimum 2GB).  You can use the instructions here for that;-

http://minepeon.com/index.php/Troubleshooting#How_to_write_MinePeon_to_SD

3. Insert your SD card into your BeagleBone Black, plug in your hubs/miners and power on.

4. Everything else should be just like the Raspberry Pi.

5. Report your findings on the MinePeon forums (http://minepeon.com/forums/)!
