Hey guys - I just got word that we sent out your rPi's configured with a weird gateway IP. This is going to make it hard for your rigs to reach the outside world.

To fix this you'll need to connect direct to your rPi. Either use keyboard/monitor, or use ssh to connect to it 192.168.1.249 (unless you changed IP).

Code:

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

use arrow keys to get down to

Code:

gateway 192.168.1.3

change this to

Code:

gateway 192.168.1.1

...or whatever your gateway IP is.

type

Code:

ctrl-X[enter]
Yes[enter]

reboot the rPi

Sorry for the trouble!

We're putting it on a public IP, and after setting the parameters in /etc/networking/interfaces, we get no IP address showing up when doing an ifconfig. The address, netmask, and gateway are all correct in the file. Is there ANYTHING that we can look at to see why the networking service isn't configuring the interface?

Is there a good tutorial on how to create a copy of the SD card for backup purposes?

Looks like I got unlucky on the Hash rate lotto. I have a single card starter kit, but can't get over 22.7 Gh/s ;-(

Lots of good info here... I think backing up the SD card is about 1/2 way down.

What would I need to edit in order to change the ethernet networking to use DHCP? I'm certain I set up the static ip and gateway correctly but I can not access over the LAN. Only when I plug laptop directly to the rPI.

I had done the sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces and changed the ip's to reflect my networks 192.168.169.x addressing but I can not connect by web interface or SSH.

Thanks

NOTE: Backup your current file before changing.

Here is my /etc/network/interfaces file that works with dhcp

Code:

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp

WOW - these boards LOVE warm temps.

I have a 400GH/s kit setup, and got the following:

300GH/s average rate over 1 hour - 2 x 120mm fan at 2500RPM blowing over them
420GH/s average rate over 1 hour - ZERO air flow, 78F ambient tempterature

This is probably the only instance I can remember where I have seen processors that do NOT like cooler temps.

I see all about ssh'ing here. Is it safe to assume that i can plug a USB hub into the rPi and use a keyboard & mouse with a monitor plugged into the rPi?

Yes, you can use usb hub and use it.

good, i prefer to log into the computer i'm working on. It keeps me from getting confused.

Nice guide. Worthy of a bookmark! Oh... Look who it's by... What a coincidence

ProgParms - you should mention that 'A' is on and 'a' is off....

A = Autotuning (if off, chip will not be modified by autotuning)

you can try to manually tune up ur chips ... maybee get the last 2.3 GH ^^ (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3079406)

Happily received both 25gh/s kits today -- each with only 1 H-Card ---> as advertised.

Reset the IP address per instructions - initially connected one H-card to the M-card and pointed to Eclipse's pool -

took a few minutes to ramp up but managed to see card 1 hashing over > 25gh/s upwards of 31gh/s -- NICE!!

Powered everything down, and added the second card -- again after a few minutes, now cruising along at 49.62 gh/s per Eclipse's site

Hash rate does seem to drop down at times to the low-40's but then ramps back up and has even spiked up over 70 gh/s (with 2 cards)

Nice Work Indeed --> to all who played a part in making this happen...

Can't wait to receive my additional October H-Cards!

FYI Received my Order this morning. My SD card was already set to use DHCP, and it took my default gateway from my router. So it was really just plug and play after setting up the mining pools.
I am trying to get hash rate up, it seem to be stuck at 22.6 GH/s after letting it run a few hours. Plenty of cooling and difficulty set to 128

Nice to know that Dave wanted me to pull my hair out and set my card to StaticIP for a different network. lol

I set my diff to 32.
1: 23.15GH/s
2: 14.775GH/s

Nevermind, got mine working, lol
Stupid me...
in the password field for some reason the "x" didn't get erased.

I am just full of DUH moments today......(facepalm)

That's pretty much it. Note that those instructions set things up to use dhcp to obtain an IP address rather than using a static IP. I don't know how well this plays with chainminer and the stratum proxy yet...

I remember someone posting a while ago about temp range, but can't for the life of me find it. What temp range should we be trying to keep these at?

Edit: after some more digging:

Quote from: buzzdave on August 07, 2013, 06:55:55 PM

I have no idea yet how well the chips will hold up as they are clocked higher. What we do know is that the hotter they get the more power they pull, the more errors they throw. However they like to run best in 45C range, so over cooling them doesn't help. BitFury is running his chips at much higher clocks with heatsinks and fans and having no failures. He also found a block already so we know these are lucky chips!

Short version: edit the file /etc/network/interfaces, then reboot.

There's an "address" entry that defines your IP, "gateway" for address of the gateway, "network" for your network address family which you would set to 192.168.254.0, and "broadcast" which would get set to 192.168.254.255

Only the address and gateway entries are mandatory.

Thanks!

I got
address 192.168.254.17
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.254.0
boadcast 192.168.254.255
gateway 192.168.254.1

set, rebooted, and connected on my normal network

Now I got to config and set my BitcoinCZ pool but nothing is hashing Sad

, both cards are at 0.
I made sure that they are pluged in O and 1 with EOL card in slot 1.
