Title: Alcheminer 256 Bricked ! Post by: dbkeys on October 14, 2017, 11:32:27 PM Alcheminer 256
I wanted to set an Alcheminer 256 to a fixed ip address, so I edited the /etc/network/interfaces file. On re-boot, the LCD just shows IP 0.0.0.0 and I can no longer ssh into it. :( The controller board seems to be unique ( I mean, it's not a Raspberry Pi, it's not a beaglebone, etc.) Does anybody know a way to get a console into it ? There seem to be 2 sets of pins which might be for this purpose, JP1 and JP2 Any help or input appreciated ! Title: Re: Alcheminer 256 Bricked !

The googling I have done seems to indicate that one of the two pin headers on the board are for a console TTY, but without knowing for sure and pin-out information.... I really don't know what I'm doing. I would hate to actually damage the board. Thanks for replying ! ~DBKeys |
