Topic: raspberry pi and ztex quad ? (Read 1428 times)
Seems like there is a new firmware for the pi will try this later when I find the time, switching computer is a bit of a nuisance
Try to upload firmware with eee-pc and then move board to RPi (don't disconnect power). That way it works for me 
Moved to an old asus eee pc for now can't have the ztex sitting idle 
I was wondering if anyone has gotten their ztex 1.15y quad running with a raspberry pi ? While I can find some references to BTCMiner and cgminer running on the pi all tests where done with a 1.15x instead of the quad fpga version. All get is :
With cgminer:
[2012-08-19 08:39:15] Started cgminer 2.7.0
[2012-08-19 08:39:15] Ztex check device: Failed to read ztex descriptor with err -9
[2012-08-19 08:39:15] prepare device: -9
With BTCMiner:
sudo java -cp ZtexBTCMiner-120703-ARM.jar BTCMiner -m p -f ztex_ufm1_15y.ihx -host http://xxxx -u yyyyy -p pas
old: bus=001 device=37 (`037') ID=221a:100
Manufacturer="ZTEX" Product="USB-FPGA Module 1.15y (default)" SerialNumber="04A36E10AF"
productID=10.15.0.0 fwVer=0 ifVer=1
FPGA unconfigured
Error: Device lost after uploading Firmware: No new device found
Both miners where run as root to avoid problems, so I assume this has something to do with the limited USB capability of the PI. But even a powered USB hub doesn't seem to help
