Low power Linux computer for mining

[ylame]

I have put together a low power Linux computer using Rapsberry Pi, pre-configured to run cgminer for erupter blocks, stratum proxy for ASIC, erupter blade, p2pool to run your own pool. I can customize it as per your need and have any needed software pre-installed.

It runs on 5v ~500mA

PM me for details and pricing.

Thank you

P2Pool on a Pi?  Really?

Hundreds of people use rPis for mining. It's a very popular option for low power.

erupters on a RPi is fine, and easy to do
sudo apt-get install build-essential libusb-1.0-0-dev libusb-1.0-0 libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev
wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/3.3/cgminer-3.3.4.tar.bz2
tar xvf cgminer-3.3.4.tar.bz2
cd cgminer-3.3.4/
mkdir libusb
cd libusb
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb/files/libusb-1.0/libusb-1.0.16-rc10/libusb-1.0.16-rc10.tar.bz2
tar -xf libusb-1.0.16-rc10.tar.bz2
cd libusb-1.0.16-rc10
./configure
make
cd ../..

LIBUSB_CFLAGS="-I./libusb/libusb-1.0.16-rc10/libusb" LIBUSB_LIBS="./libusb/libusb-1.0.16-rc10/libusb/.libs/libusb-1.0.a -ludev" ./configure --enable-icarus

make
sudo make install

^ replace 3.3.4 with whatever is the latest

p2pool I'm not sure that is a good idea because of the speed of the network on the RPi but I'm willing to be proved wrong..


It has given me an Idea though I'll see if I can get it running on my tonido plug 2....

Raspberry pi's are not working with anything newer than cgminer 3.1.1.

I have tried with 3.3.4 and 3.4 with no luck, I've I'm missing something, someone please enlighten me.

I've had mine running now for a couple weeks now, very efficient and zero maintenance.

The instructions I followed are the ones found here:

Very good article, very fun project too if you get that LCD Plate they use in the instructions.  Was fun to get into Soldering again.

Working great with 3.4.2 here, not sure what issue you are having. Make sure you have the right packages installed from the README...
