Linux mining distro for the Raspberry PI - MinePeon

[ct1aic]

Did anyone tried to expand the Linux partition? As it's partition 5, when I delete it and try to recreate it, I have to create a partition 3 or 4, refusing to accept the number 5.

The initial fdisk -l gave me this info:

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 3.7 GiB, 3947888640 bytes, 7710720 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x417ee54b

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/mmcblk0p1 2048 186367 92160 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)

/dev/mmcblk0p5 188416 3667967 1739776 83 Linux

With fdisk /dev/mmcblk0 I deleted partition 5 and had to create partition 3 (5 was invalid as already stated).
After reboot, the fdisk gave me:

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 3.7 GiB, 3947888640 bytes, 7710720 sectors

Hi,

you need to delete first partition 5 than 2.
than create an new p2 "Extended" after that you need to create a new "logical" partition

do not forget
sudo resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p5

I'll try it. Many thanks.

Anyone else not getting any graph info?  Been running for about 30 mins or so and nothing.

The graphics values are there. If you use Google Chrome, you will see the graphics working. Neil will verify the problem, later today, as told in he's MinePeon forum.

One thing I noticed on the BeagleBone Black (at least in Debian) is that it won't let me address more than 9 or so Erupters (I have 44).  Minepeon on the RaspberryPi lets me auto load all of them in BFGMiner with -S erupter:all.  Any combination of the -S commands, even when I specify each and every /dev/ttyUSB43 style path in the config fails on the BBB.  It only shows BEE0 - BEE9 and doesn't load anymore.  I guess I'll have to use my Erupters on just the RPi for now.

Will this be a limitation still when the Minepeon build for BBB becomes available?  Note, since this occurs even when directly specifying all 44 devices, the scanning issue previously mentioned in this thread shouldn't be a factor, unless they're both just symptoms of something buggy in BBB's USB setup.

Are you aware that minepeon is being used by hashfast in their baby jets? They provide the machine and a PI to run it off apparently, with minepeon preinstalled.

Here is the thread :

You have put a lot of effort into minepeon and honestly I don't feel it's fair they are using it in a commercial product without telling you.

If anyone is using the newest release with AntMiner U1's please let me know how you got them working!!  Thank you in advance!!

I hope not, I have not attepted to run more than 9 devices yet with the early build but it is certainly something I will be trying over the next few days as I bring the development image for you guys to use.

No, I had not seen that and I did not know.

I have to say though, they are free to do so though, MinePeon is a free Open Source product based upon other free and open source products.  It would have been nice to know though and I do hope they left the donation code in so that their users can support the project.

Beastlymac actually sent me on, it is not hear yet bus as soon as I get it I will be working on support for it.

I have one running just fine with the new release.  Didn't have to change a thing.

Awesome work on this version, loving the pool switching!  Next stop, scheduling pool switching?!?

It is in the plans, keep testing the live pool switching (the green arrow thing) and the donations, the code is based off that .

Hi,
i have configured 5 pools. Switching between bitcoin.cz and btcguild.com worked fine but the tree left didn't work.

stratum.bitcoin.cz   
eu-stratum.btcguild.com   
uk1.ghash.io   User01
uk1.ghash.io   User02
stratum.mining.eligius.st   

@ neil donation are know ON my testing is done

[tripppn]

Made it through the night with donations on and I'm still running strong. No crashes

Tree? What tree? I don't remember putting a tree in!

I am not sure what you mean, can you break it down a bit for me?  Are they all the same coinbase?

Thanks, from now on you have an employee.
