Ok, got mine working with some help from JWU42. Seems my network won't accept the rPi with static IP. I have no idea why. DHCP worked excellent.

Question:

At the beginning of this guide it seems to say that the extra proxy's are not for fail over. Am I reading that correctly? If that is the case, what are they for? I only configured the first one and everything seems to work fine.

notthing to do with static ip but gateway ip need to change to xxx.xxx.1.xxx .

You can't run cgminer for this - the Raspberry Pi has a miner set up already. Point a webpage at the IP address of your RasPi and configure your pool information on that page.

Hey guys,

I got a my starter kit assembled, fired up, changed the host ip, so I get internet access working.

Forgive my noob situatuon here, but I cannot get cgminer onto the pi, and have been looking around the net for some help to no avail.

Can someone please write out what to type in the lxterminal for linux ? I have my bitcoin wallet, address all set up, and know about that.

I just got lost typing the commands trying to get it to install/fire up cgminer and directed to my wallet.

This is my first rig, so be gentle now. Wink

lol.

Thanks ahead of time for the help, and thanks to Dave for such a great job with the turnaround time!

Ok, which one do I believe here?

BF is reporting 37GH/s
Slash's Pool is showing 16.5GH/s

I believe that I saw there being an issue on Slush's pool discussed on the EU bitfury thread.

Same here. This looks correct and allows me to connect when I set my laptops ip to 192.168.169.177 and direct connect the ethernet cable to the rPi but won't work when connected to the LAN.

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.169.175
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.169.0
broadcast 192.168.169.255
gateway 192.168.169.168

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

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?

Might want to check your system startup logs for any errors /var/log/syslog

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.

Thanks!! Good information.

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)
