Title: Raspberry Pi with cgminer hangs after a little while or few hours Post by: RusellPower on May 01, 2014, 01:42:36 PM I am mining using a Raspberry Pi with cgminer and it hangs after a little while or few hours.
I did read on some pages over the internet that this is due to a "memory paging issue". I don't know what this is and if or it's the correct reason. Can someone help me with this issue? PS: I am running Arch Linux on my RPi Title: Re: Raspberry Pi with cgminer hangs after a little while or few hours Post by: w5pn73 on May 02, 2014, 02:47:48 PM I am mining using a Raspberry Pi with cgminer and it hangs after a little while or few hours. I did read on some pages over the internet that this is due to a "memory paging issue". I don't know what this is and if or it's the correct reason. Can someone help me with this issue? Was running cgminer for a while on the RPi without problems, installed following this tutorial (without the PiMiner and display additions): https://learn.adafruit.com/piminer-raspberry-pi-bitcoin-miner/install-cgminer Now I'm using BFGMiner. One month and running. Of course all compiled on the Pi, no prebuilt binaries (if they exists somewhere). Quote PS: I am running Arch Linux on my RPi Maybe that's the problem. Try with the official Raspbian distribution.

However, there is a precompiled binary:
If you don't want to run a bunch of cpuminers, I have posted modified cgminer sources to allow LTC-only mode: https://github.com/dtbartle/cgminer-gc3355 (https://github.com/dtbartle/cgminer-gc3355). I have this running on a Raspberry Pi with 10 devices. Any chance of a Pi image with compiled binary? :) Here's a compiled binary built on raspbian: https://db.tt/UygLkqwd (https://db.tt/UygLkqwd) this binary works fine stable day by day, week by week without interuptions. But have two dissapointes: 1. frequency is only up to 950 Mhz, 2) stratum above the target nonce issue. As a result, this is very good miner for non-overclocking Gridseeds connected directly to mining pools. But in the case you are going to overclock your GC3355 over 1000MHz the best miner is cpuminer (minerd): https://github.com/siklon/cpuminer-gc3355 (https://github.com/siklon/cpuminer-gc3355). Possibly with Minera or something similar to control the farm.

It runs a specific fork of CPUMiner with lot of features for GS.
