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...

anything specific to this setup if using a wifi adapter - or does everything stay the same and just do this: http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-3-network-setup/setting-up-wifi-with-occidentalis

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:

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.

Ok, can somebody tell me how to change the IP of this thing to 192.168.254.17 ?
On initial bootup it only let's you change the last address.
So me entering 192 in there made my IP 192.168.1.192 which is fine .
Using crossover cable I can login to Bitfury Admin page but it only has an option to enter Pool IP.

Huh

thus ends my Linux knowledge

Not to expose too much unix dorkiness, but if you look up the man pages for "reboot" and "shutdown" commands you will see that "reboot" "halt" and and "poweroff" commands essentially are wrappers to the "shutdown" command with the appropriate options set (-r for reboot, -p for poweroff).

Technically the posted reboot command is a little more obscure but more accurate. Shutdown contrary to its name does more than just shutdown. I don't know if the image they are supplying contains man pages.

Most Linux comes with man pages.

Reboot the rPi: sudo shutdown -r now

perhaps you meant "sudo reboot"?

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!

Thanks. Dave.

The M-Board-to-PCi-e Ring terminal adaptor (for version 1 of M-boards) should come along with the m-board, correct?

... some info that I gathered from experience BitFury EU is here ... use with caution as you are using a diffrent m-board ... https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/guide-bitfury-miner-supporttuning-287590

Even though I didn't buy one of your boards, it is great seeing this level of support from a vendor!

Hope you ship Barntech their chips fast though! Wink

You need to hit that IP address with a browser to reconfigure your pool credentials. You will see 3 repeated sets of pool creds. Change all of these to your desired worker name on whatever pool you use. These three look like standard failover credentials you might see in miner config files. This is not the case here. Those are three stratum proxy processes running on your rPi. Make sure to change them all.

What pools are known to work?

Definitely very good advise and TLC on your miners.
