Topic: Raspberry Pi Running Antminer U1 - page 5. (Read 13191 times)
You can also find them on Amazon, and there is a huge community of helpful people at the raspberry pi forums at raspberrypi.org
The Raspberry Pi is a small computer, that has been designed so it is fully hackable, and programable by novices and experts alike, it can be turned into many different things, from an arcade machine playing asteroids and such like, or maybe a home brewing monitor measuring pressures/ temperatures etc, or like we are doing a remote header that can run bitcoin mining hardware. the main advantage over a pc being its power consumpsution being around 4 or 5watts.ish. There are loads for sale just check out ebay, or Maplin.
what is Raspberry Pi?
i can 2nd that, i would like to be able to use my pi for other things while it is running cgminer, it also makes remote access alot easier running raspbian rather that that of minpeon
MinePeon is an independent distro which is, essentially, its own operating system just for bitcoin mining.
We cannot use this as it hasn't got the tweaked version of Cgminer needed for Antminer U1 USBs.
As well as this, the rPi can't be used for anything else but mining while running minepeon, but what we are trying to do is install cgminer on raspbian so we can use the rpi for other things while cgminer runs in the background.
Did you try MinePeon?
It's a nice mining distribution built for the RPi.

well at least we are not going mad!
i do think that the bmsc driver is required, as would be the "make"
this is more or less the same process i used on cgminer 3.1.1 to setup a block erupter, only excption being i used the icarus driver.
can you actually run the start line?
sudo ./cgminer –bmsc-options 115200:20 -o mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u bitcoinco_demo -p x –bmsc-freq 0781
as i tried this and again get the file not found bash.
for info the freq 0781 is an overclocked one! i use 0681 in windows and get 1.4gh wich i think is safe ish..lol

I'm a newbie myself, having only recently joined this site. I'm trying to make sense of it all.
I also experienced the exact same things as you - and I mean exact, I could do everything you could do and couldn't do everything you couldn't!
I'm not sure if those things are needed, since I think I'm able to run cgminer without them - can you?
I have no idea what those commands actually do so I'm at a loss here.
Sorry!

Hi!
Thanks for the info.
i have just been tring to install on my pi this morning but not with alot of luck!
i can clone from the git ok.
i can cd cgminer ok
install both dependacies ok
however the ./autogen.sh gives me a not found bash.
and the ./configure –enable-bmsc also gives me a no such file or directoty bash
but i was able to open and edit the cmdline.txt file ok
the silly thing is both files are there in the directory!!
are further thoughts?
Thanks
Steve

I haven't received my antminers yet but perhaps this may help (didn't write, found online somewhere):
First install a modified version of cgminer that has the Bitmain drivers
git clone https://github.com/AdvancedStyle/cgminer
cd cgminer
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0
sudo apt-get install libudev-dev
./autogen.sh
./configure –enable-bmsc
make -j 6
To run cgminer use a command such as:
sudo ./cgminer –bmsc-options 115200:20 -o mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u bitcoinco_demo -p x –bmsc-freq 0781
If you are using a Raspberry Pi do the following:
sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
Add the following code at the end of the first line (on the same line as the other text)
slub_debug=FP
Let me know how this works for you please!

Hello all,
This question has probably come up before but i cant find any responses in search so hear goes.
I have an Antminer U1 that i want to run through my Raspberry Pi, it currently runs fine through Windows using the "Tweeked" CGminer.
My Pi currently runs Raspbian, and CGMiner 3.1.1 on BE's does anyone have any setup info to enable me to run the Antminer through the Pi?
This would be great to get set up and save having to have my PC running all time.
Regards
Steve
