[GB] USB ASIC miner - closed and completed

[CumpsD]

Good morning World!

I smell fresh coffee and USB Gizmos... I'm feeling lucky...

Regarding CumpsD offer, if the offer is extended to me and as I'm so bad in Linux, I would love to get he's RPI image, as one of my 3 RPI's is also a v2 512 MBytes.

I'll make the image Friday or Saturday, not home this before that

Many thanks.

overpriced for mining purpose, imho and only 4A power adapter

which one do u suggest?

Be aware that the raspi is picky with usb devices. Buy according to this guide: http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals#Working_USB_Hubs

I was waiting for an A20 cubieboard but it's not gonna happen in the next days so raspi it is.

This AFAIR is only important if you want to run the pi on that hub or the hub has no psu by itself - so it does not matter when you already powered your pi and just extend it with a external-psu powered hub for running the ASICs .

I have made good experiences with http://www.logilink.eu/showproduct/UA0095.htm connection my RPi to 3 wireless devices. It ships with 3.5A power supply, for example via amzn.

@yxt; I see friedcat has been online, please please tell me you have some good news for the rest of us finally

According to this page there are hubs that do funny stuff, such as:

Belkin

• 7-Port Powered Mobile Hub - device labelled F4U018, packaging labelled F5U701. lsusb reveals it to be two Genesys Logic 4-port hubs based on the GL850G chipset (vendor: 0x05e3 product: 0x0608) ganged together. Yields a lot of "handle_hc_chhltd_intr_dma:: XactErr without NYET/NAK/ACK" errors and device resets in /var/log/messages. Low speed devices such as keyboards work OK, Wi-Fi/mass storage is unreliable or broken. -- No error messages with the latest kernel, but it is still unstable with mass storage devices. Also, leaks current back to the Raspberry Pi (can be fixed by overtaping GND and +5 V pinouts)
• F4U022 7-Port powered USB hub (powered 5 V, 2.6 A), same as F4U018
  7-Port Powered Hub - device labled F5U237 Rev.3 - ID 050d:0237 Wired Ethernet fails to connect; gives "DWC OTG HCD URB enqueue failed adding QTD. Error status -4008" Result is same as DUB-H7 below.
  
• F5U404 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Mobile Hub. Faulty/bad design; Leaks current back up the cable to the Raspberry Pi.
• F5U307 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 7-Port Hub (Powered, able to apply power to Raspberry Pi via micro USB from this hub at same time) It work's sometimes. (Works always without powering the Raspberry Pi, haven't tried that)

So it's something to consider carefully. Specially the backfeed thingie.

@wo0x: looks good, thanks!

very true, but this seems to be a poor implementation of the hub - and does not have its roots on the pi being picky.

I see that you are picky 

Even with hubs that do not backfeed, some don't work flawlessly with the raspi while they do with notebooks or odroid-u2s or cubieboards. I agree in that it is most probably due to an implementation in the hub that is not 100% according to what the USB specs say, but that is the definition of being picky.

@yxt; I see friedcat has been online, please please tell me you have some good news for the rest of us finally

Was picked up yesterday, as planned
Told you... the excitement was unnecessary.    

10    Departed Facility in HONG KONG - HONG KONG
-----
parcel2 is pending completion of customs inspection.

But we need another package to work through all orders.


--------------------
EDIT:
I ordered these: http://www.logilink.eu/showproduct/UA0124.htm
But not tested

@wo0x: looks good, thanks!

If you connect only the USB upper port of RPI to something like my 7 Port USB 2.0 HUB Powered (http://www.ebay.de/itm/230976716952?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649), it doesn't need the power micro USB connector any more. It is then powered by that USB power+data connection. I tried to connect a USB mouse, a USB cabled keyboard and a WiFi dongle to that low cost Chinese HUB and all worked. I will try to connect also 2 USB Gizmos in a couple of days...

I ordered these: http://www.exsys.ch/download/catalog/ex_1187HMVS.pdf

Hooking it up to the 12V of an ATX power supply

We'll see how that goes

Right now I have a "Sitecom CN 061 - Hub - 7 x Hi-Speed USB" connected, powering my Pi from it, a USB keyboard and 1 ZTex 1.15y without any problem
