Linux mining distro for the Raspberry PI - MinePeon

[yxzq]

To the people that are testing by pulling from git:

The backup page has a new button to export settings as .zip, therefore you must install "zip" first:

Code:

sudo pacman -S zip

Secondly, on the advanced page: if you find certain things unclear, please let me know. And just in case: always welcome to write some guiding info

Meh - even standard Arch has the problem, so maybe it still is a hardware issue ...

uname -a

Odd though coz that's: archlinux-hf-2013-06-06.zip

Each day that passes, MinePeon is better and better. Many thanks.

cgminer 3.3.2 is in git.  

Can you tell me at what directory is the cgminer @ RPI, to make the git pull? Thanks in advance.

I am also testing 0.2.3 for release in the next 24 hours.  Apart from containing the new WebUI it has OS privilege changes that allow the stopping/starting/killing and rebooting of the processes and the MinePeon by the new monitoring scripts.

Please don't forget to do a Arch Linux update, prior to release the 0.2.3 version...  

Any news about some sort of exporting the settings outside of the SD (perhaps to a pen connected to one of the HUB's) to import in a fresh SD with new version of MinePeon?

The drama queen.

I merged with the latest Arch today so we are good there.

Thomas is working on downloading a zip and uploading it.  It is one of the reasons for an image update.

Looking forward to this. Am not trying anymore Git pulls until my second Pi arrives. So am trying to be patient. I've been stable since going back to stock so it will be interesting to see if I have problems with the new Image and the I can finally get the display running permanently.

Neil,

my network hub has run out of ports, so I need to use a USB wifi dongle with my RPi. Does Arch Linux/Minepeon support this? What's the procedure for setting it up?

Plug it in and run;-

sudo wicd-curses.

99% of the time it is that simple, wicd-curses is a little UI in arch for configuring your networks.

Thanks very much for the prompt and helpful reply

What did I do wrong this time? Still have 3.3.1 version of cgminer...

This should also do the trick. All remotely tracked files will be overwritten. Graph data will remain.

Code:

git fetch --all
git reset --hard origin/master

If you pulled MinePeon in the last 2 days, you should also pull MinePeonWebUI, check your settings and then save them. The donation code has been updated to use (only) the new settings. If the new settings have not been set, the script will end before initiating a donation.

Something like that should update you.

[ct1aic]

[minepeon@minepeon minepeon]$ git fetch --all
Fetching origin
[minepeon@minepeon minepeon]$ git reset --hard origin/master
HEAD is now at 2c66f6a cgminer 3.3.2
[minepeon@minepeon minepeon]$

It worked. After a reboot, I have now cgminer 3.3.2. Thanks, Malakai.

The postal service was good to me yesterday. I now have 2 pi, and 2 cubieboard2 to play with. I also ordered a cubieboard but that didn't arrive. Anyways I will be playing with minepeon on the cubieboard2 today and hopefully have some results to share with y'all.

There is a folder on the sd that contains backups. It will be possible to restore these stored backups.
It's already possible to export these backups in a zip file.

Restoring backed up settings at this moment is possible by copying the contents of a backup to /opt/minepeon/ (with FTP for example)
By tonight I will try to implement it in the GUI. The button is there, but its disabled

Says you!  I now have about 6 patches to merge and test.

Once again requesting help getting FBTFT drivers working so i can get my 2.8" screen shield working. Paying 0.25 BTC to whomever can help me work this out.

Would prefer build instructions for arch that are compatibile with minepeon as opposed to a image, unless mineforeman adopts the drivers. I intend to compile on the pi itself. Thanks.
