Has anyone tried getting the Gridseed A1 hardware working under Minera? Right now I'm using the UGLY AS HELL software that shipped with it....that was either written by a retard, or intentionally "broken" to permanently mine on their pool. For one, it's pretty much all in chinese. Second....when you click the settings button to change the pool info and stuff....you get a blank screen. It immediately starts mining for someone else. I promptly pulled the SD out and finally found the username/password (pi/pi3.1415) and was able to ssh in and change the settings manually. So right now it's mining at a steady 1.2Th/s...but using that god aweful interface and no ability to switch pools easily.
I tried following these instructions from
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6672849 and I can get the version of cgminer (3.9.0) from the chinese shitware to launch but it doesn't detect the blades. The blades and controller board are all hooked up to the rpi GPIO pins.
I tried the "official" cgminer but I think it's looking for a USB connection and not through GPIO.
Anyone have any idea on what I might be missing to get this rolling?
I have img files of the original software, as well as the binary and config files from the chinese shitware that I can zip and up post if needed. Michelem - I can open up an ssh tunnel to the unit if you'd like direct access for testing sometime.
