We have developed a install script  to setup your Raspberry Pi to mine with the 28nm Innosilicon A2 Miners.
We want to thank author of scrypta first.

You can enjoy watch your miner mining from your iphone/ipad/PC Browser .

Please check out our github page :https://github.com/MinerEU/scripta_a2  for details

the install script command is here if you only want the sweat bits and don't care about the rest:

One thing that we want to mention is that I think scrypta is so far the best UI interface we can find that work with Innosilicon A2.  although there are minera but it is currently only supporting cpuminer

Oh, BTW, we also sell A2MIN/A2BOX miners at minereu.com

Plan to add wifi support

FYI, installed on fresh SDcard, Install was easy,
Web interface loads good.
Miner does not work.

You have A2? if you do not see miner get started, you porbably need a restart. the cron job watches the cgmienr process every 30 sec to ensure it is running.

Yes I have a A2.
The buttons do nothing. Pool fields work fine.
Miner never mines.
Works fine with factory A2 image.
-Bobby

actually, it is to our interest to find out what is wrong with that installation. we have tried a few installation, and it works fine.

could you run followoing command in root and let us know what returns


if you don't see a process called cgminer with a bunch of paramters but empty screen, can you run this manually and see what error does it give you :



if it didn't start automatically, suspect there might be a problem with the cron. can you show us what comes out of this :




oh, last, if you can give me some lines syslog, that would be very helpful

Lot of HW errors on that second screen shot

Just so everyone knows, added new feature in this update

1, switch pools
2, pool priority setting
3, frequency setting for each blade
4, temperature sensor display
5, core info on each chip

OK - have an A2MINI, and everything runs fine with the innosilicon supplied SD card.

Swapped out for a known working alternate card with a fresh install of wheezy & ran root bash to install MinerEU Scrypta A2 image.  Seemed to install no problem.

After reboot, webpage accessible without any errors & fully functional, although miner not starting.

SSH'd in and attempted to run cgminer manually, miner would not start & received following error:

"No any a1 board"

Am downloading the SD image & will try again with this, but not hopeful.  Please advise.

looks a bit like there are different A2 Board Versions out?

humm, this is interesting.  which image were you using ? or it is the SD card comes with the miner?

I've left the original SD card provided with the miner untouched, so I can go back to it if need be - it's currently in the A2 right now, which is hashing away happily.

I used another relatively new SD card which was running in a PI looking after some gridseeds until recently.  I formatted it, did a fresh install of wheezy, and then ran your install script - no errors reported on install.

I then rebooted the PI (sudo reboot, not a power cycle), the Scrypta webpage came up no problems, but cgminer not starting (error described above when attempted to run manually).

Please assist / advise...

I bought the A2 mini from minereu.com, and everything works.
also the image is fine, except that i cant find the frequency tuning.anyone know where?
support is great, i get always answers

Hey everything working now fine, i just use a command to update the software, now everything works.

NO now it shows TH as my speed,and mines very slow!

Could you add something like a pool balance?
I mean like allow me to say for example:

60% of my mining power goes to this pool and 40% to this pool...

That would be great!

Thank you in advance

What does it mean when I get scripta down message?

At that point the interface seems locked, and I can no longer telnet into the unit.
Then I have to physically reboot the system as the reboot on the main screen doesn't seem to work either.
Unless I'm not entering root password correctly - btw what is root password on this install?  minereu?

Otherwise I like the interface and the adjustment abilities to the units.
I'm able to increase some devices and decrease others to keep hw errors at around 5% while maintaining 92mh

thanks,

Oh one other thing, where can I hard code the network settings.  I don't care much for miner on DHCP.

would be a nice thing to add into the interface.

you just have to edit a the file /etc/network/interfaces (or similar, I do not remember exactly).
Just put your IP address and reboot (restarting the network also work of course, but I like a little reboot from time to time...).

debugging the issue involves you ssh to the console.

1, sudo s
2, ps -ef |grep cgminer |grep -v grep  if you don't see any thing, means the cgmienr didn't come up

3, at this point, we need to see what error message you got there.   
you need to run (this is in the lastest image )
[/code][/code][/code]

Thanks for this feedback, we will try to work on it and get it implemented.

MinerEU scripta has many bugs. You need to update it.
In the beginning it works fine. But now I can't change pool and soft reset cgminer(RPC) doesn't work.
How can I fix it?
Thanks
   

After installing the latest yesterday morning it now refuses to login. Keeps looping around the login page

I had the same problem mate. Issue is that with the new version they have integrated certificate and authentication on HTTPS port. So basically if you are trying to open remotely the URL of your miner you need to go to your router and add a rule to allow traffic on port 443 to pass to internal IP of the miner. That fixed the problem for me.

Dear colleagues and Miner.eu

When I switch the A2 new mini on, and open your scripta interface, both blades are mining normally. However, in about 30 seconds, their hash rate begins to decrease and reaches 0 (zero) in 20-25 seconds. And stays there indefinitely. Restarting the miner does not help, neither does rebooting Raspberry. Only if I physically turn the power supply off and on again, the blades start working, but everything happens again like I described in the beginning.

Please, help.

I sent almost exactly the same text directly to Miner.eu yesterday. Received an answer today:
-----------
Hi,

You could search youtube to find some instruction of setting up the miner.

https://github.com/MinerEU/scripta_a2
It is our image download link for the miner, please check this out as well.

good luck!

I wonder, do they read their customers' mails at all?

I sent another mail - quote below:

--------------

Dear Support.

1. There are no videos depicting the setup of A2 New Mini Terminator with Raspberry PI built-in. None. Not on YouTube, not anywhere.
2. As I have already mentioned, I installed your Scripta miner and interface using CURL from Raspberry. Successfully.

Let me, please, specify the problem again.

1. A2 New Mini Terminator is powered correctly.
2. Immediately after power-on, when Raspberry loads, your Scripta interface shows that both blades are working normally.
3. In 30-35 seconds, hashing rate on both blades starts to decrease.
4. In another 30-40 seconds, both blades come to zero.
5. Miner restart or Raspberry reboot does not help.

Could you, please, help. I can execute and send you results of any log outputs, grep - whatever you need.

Regards

I have A2MEGA nad  the same problem, i'm installing RASPIAN next to install Scripta and miner dose'nt work :/ If i use A2 software my miner is up for 3 munutes and hashrate gone down :/ I use   A2 Image Orginal (2014-05-21) user: pi / psw: innosilicon
- InnoSilicon Customized WebGUI RPI Image for A2 Miners (2014-06-18) static ip address 192.168.1.168 psw: innosilicon

And - InnoSilicon Customized WebGUI RPI Image for A2 Miners (2014-06-18) static ip address 192.168.1.168 psw: innosilicon
 on this my machine is up for 5 minutes :/

i use https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=672969.0 Overclock image for A2 Innosilicon by Emdje and my miner for firs 10 sec got 110hasrate next to still donw to 0. :/ WTf?

MinerEU please help us! We buy machnes but we can't mines!

I have the same problem, it seams to be a scripta problem. I have the same problem on two A2 mega.
When Using the provided Innosilicon image it runs with no problem.
I think it is the cgminer binary, I will do some tests to swap the cgminer from scripta with the one it came on the shippedon the card.

I will reply if this fix the problem.

Thanks,

Find a quick fix.
Take the cgminer provided by innosilicon on the card.
It is originally located in /var/www

If you installed the Minereu software the original content on /var/www has been moved to /opt/minereu_back$(date +"%Y%m%d%H%M%S"). Take the earliest one you have as it is the one that was originally on the card.

Copy the cgminer to /opt/scripta/bin .
Kill the cgminer that runs, it will automatically restart in under a minute.

For every body that is not familiar with the pi architecture follow the steps:
1. ssh to the raspberry pi, if you use windows download putty http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html)
2. login with user "pi" and password "innosilicon"
3. take the root 4. copy the original cgminer
5. end the running cgminer:
   a.     b.  copy the first number you see printed, that is the pid (process id) of the running cgminer. If using Putty just double click on it it will copy it to clipboard.
   c. past your number and press Enter. If using Putty right click will do the paste.

6. Wait a little, your miner should came up in under 1 minute.

Happy mining,

The Cube

MY DEAR FRIEND, CAN YOU PLEASE POST a full copy of the software with the correct miner?  My original factory mining sw SD card no longer works.  It did in the beginning.  I have 2 a2 terminators just gathering dust..

thanks!

I have an A2 that was hosted by Gaw on the way  

I am having this issue too.  I tried the quick fix and it didn't work for me.  Any suggestions?

hy i've an a2 mini from minereu

is it possible to. split hash like gridseed blade with cgminer and balance command

there is a miner fir a2

When are you going to add wifi support?
