I finally figured out how to get the rpi to run these with cgminer. But I have my directories confused or something and I can't find the config file to update it the speed. When I save the default file under settings it's saving it somewhere I can't find. So I am running at the default 550 Mhz. If anyone has an image to share I would appreciate it and send you a tip.
Or a free Nano Fury 2 USB miner if you're into that sort of thing. New, not used. I manufacture them.
I am pretty sure with the pi to open the conf file you do sudo nano /root/.cgminer/cgminer.conf. Cannot access my rigs at home right now so I cannot tell your for 100%. Best way is to run cgminer and save the conf file to /home/pi/cgminer.conf. Please correct me if I am wrong. OK - even if my cgminer directory is cgminer-4.3.4 |

Will your full kit power a habanero ?

I just want to say you guys are the Apple of btc. Your miners "just work."
I am not a tech guy but these were a piece a cake, especially compared to the VMC board.

Ordered 3 so far and pd in BTC for each. All delivered within a week. Latest one shipping today.
Maybe I'm just lucky.

Hoping to get my two today.
For the less technical of us would it be possible to get an image file for the rasp pi?
We can look into it. None of us use an rPi, but if not one else has an rPi image with an upgraded version of cgminer, we'll try to get one released here this coming week. Thanks Mr. Teal. I am going to mess with it best I can. But if someone has it working and could make an image I would appreciate it. |

Do you have any image?
nope, but it's not that hard, I did something like this: 1) download Debian Wheezy rasbperryPi image from here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/2) write it to SD card: http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/README.md3) connect microusb for power and monitor and keyboard to rasbPi and boot up, there will be little setup, i think you should do the 1st step atleast (just choose to enlarge partition, and all will be automatic) 4) connect fash-hast card to raspbery, after that when typing 'lsusb' you should see a new device that was not there before you connected fash-hast card. 5) install some more packages: sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl3-dev libudev-dev 6) clone cgminer from git git clone git://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.git 7) compile cd cgminer ./autogen ./configure --enable-hashfast make  run cgminer as usual EDIT: And don't forget to tip ckolivas  Thanks, that was very nice. VERY NICE! But I'm stuck on #7. After cd cgminer. I get errors on "./autogen" What am I missing? |

Anyone running these on a rpi?

Take it somewhere else guys. Asking about 3rd party Minion designs is not a controversial question.

My Cgminer keeps shutting down with the error" LIBSUM_ERROR_PIPE" which is apparently error you get when the software sends a command that the hardware is not capable of. At least as far as I google it.
Ended up installing CGWatcher to restart the miner when it locks up. Seems to be working better now.
Anyone else with similar error?

HI,
we are working on our board.
The test board is already populated with 1 chip and we are testing.
I'll update as soon we have results
Any guesses on performance yet Marto? |

Good Card. Consider yourself lucky.
My masking tape said 633 Gh/s and I can get it to about that, sometimes a bit higher. Still almost 20% below advertised.
Corsair 100i with monster fans of about 135 CFM added. Temp does not get above 85C.

Due to BlackArrow delays, some of their customers are being offered 50 Minions in place of a miner.
Just wondering if anyone had done anything with these chips. There could be a lot available soon.
WASP Collective was going to design something but I don't know if it materialized.
BlackArrow customers are wondering if it's worth it to get the chips or continue to wait. Thoughts?

What is the ideal temp I should be looking for and what is the danger range?
|

I did not get any but have not heard officially that I was suppose to. Plus the temperature reading is only 25C, which I believe is just room temperature.
I don't think the card could heat up that much in 2-3 seconds anyway. Just does not make sense.
Actually it can... the cooler is not on correctly... You are right! I just figured it out. Going to have to wait for more screws. Can't get this one any tighter. |

Well that did not work. But turning the card off, plugging the card into the PC, then turning it on got it recognized. Now my issue is in literally 2 seconds it resets I believe due to thermal overload. Though I don't understand how that can be after 2 seconds. Then it restarts 4-5 times reducing the voltage each time. But each time I get the same error as below. I may need to tighten up the cooler, but this seems like something else. The temp reads 25C when it cycles down. Any ideas?  |

Could use some troubleshooting. With the ATX connection from the board (5 straight-line pins) going to the PSU (10 pin) plugged in the board goes on and off right away. If I leave it unplugged it runs.  Also - can't get cgminer to see it, or my computer for that matter. Any drivers necessary? Using Win7 Home Premium. Not sure if the two issues are related. A. Plug nothing from the PSU to the GR board other than 1. the 4 Pci-e connectors 2. whatever the cooler pump needs to run (the H110i was a sata connector) 3. You can power additional fans from the board or PSU. B. Have you installed the drivers using zadig first? Cancel any OS detected HW driver install (takes a moment to actually cancel the process) when you plug the GR in. Edit: C. http://aphnetworks.com/tutorials/psu_paperclip_trickThanks Ranger! So I have ZADIG installed and my pc says it sees a "Mass Storage Device" by Alcor Micro Corp. Since it's the only usb plugged in beside the mouse I assume that's the GR. But I still can't get cgminer to see it. I have tried starting cold and using the .bat file above. In both cases I get:  Any other suggestions? EDIT: On second look and trying to get to run on another PC, I don't think it's the Mass Storage Device. When I plug the usb in from card the computer has zero reaction. |
