My Raspberry Pi (256 MBytes) with MinePeon 0.2.1 is very stable. But 2 days ago, when it launched again cgminer after the donation period, it could not access the 2 USB Block Erupters. They stayed with the green leds lighted and I had to restart the RPI to get them mining again. Both USB Gizmos have heatsinks "glued" to the ASIC IC and forced air from 2 fans. They don't go higher than 38ºC, but the Hardware Errors stay @ 0.9%.
Excellent case for the Pi dude. Thanks, Polyatomic. It's a special case, made by http://www.themagpi.com. |

So is your uptime dependent on the USB hub you're using?

That's pretty much my question too. So far it looks like the choice of USB hub and heat control are the two largest factors with regard to uptime. I have a "Pluggable" 7-port hub (3.0A, 5.0V output) but am waiting on Erupters (2). I'll definitely post back with my results when all is up and running. |

Hubs are INCREDIBLY important, 9 times out of 10 when I am helping someone out with an issue it is the hub at fault (the other time it is the SD card). Be prepared to go through 2 or 3 hubs before you get one that works right and if at all possible don't run your pi off the hub that is running your miner. Neil |

Neil Although my hubs have 7 ports I only connect 5 erupters to stay within manufacturer specs. My current setup is with 2 hubs, one powering 5 erupters and the other one powering one erupter one fan and the Rpi. |

Rasberry Pi miners using minepeon , How long have you been able to mine WITHOUT a restart ?.
I'm using adafruit occularis rather than minepeon, but uptime since setting up as a miner control: 06:43:05 up 22 days, 12:36, 1 users, load average: 6.62, 6.38, 6.34 |

Nope, you can just plug it directly into the Pi. Neil |

I am using a Rosewill 7 port as well ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182176 ), with 4 Block Eruptors. Haven't been able to get it to work stably for more than 24 hours yet. We seem to be having a lot of quick (< 1 sec) power outages right now, and I think that might have something to do with it. Maybe I'll try plugging it into a UPS. I also need to connect a keyboard so that I can see what's going on when it quits working. |

I put a better power supply on my Raspberry Pi and then plugged it and the USB hub into a UPS, and everything's working great now. Turns out the Rosewill hub works just fine for at least 4 of the BEs. Not bad for less than $10.  |

Or so I thought. It looks like it's not actually going down, though. The apache server goes down, so I can't see what's going on, but it keeps right on mining.

I've been running rPi/MinePeon for about two weeks. It's always up unless I reboot to add more devices. It has been a joy. Set and forget. No issues to report. I'm running Erupters with DUB-H7 hubs on one Pi and Lancelot FPGAs on another.

Mine has now been up for nearly 4 days. It appears that the trick was to turn off donation mining (sorry!).
One thought I had, however, is that my Pi is one of the originals - a model A I think it's called. I'm wondering whether that makes any difference?

I accrued over a month of uptime with my 5 block erupters on a DUB-H7, but I eventually got some instability. I think we decided it was due to the donation code.

Huh. I had turned donation off, but I now see it somehow got set to 5 minutes. Interesting. I'm approaching 4 days of uptime, though.

I said I'd post back, so here goes: Mine's been up for over 14 days and is showing no problems. It's not MinePeon though (cgminer 3.1.1 on Raspberrian, Pluggable 7-port powered hub).

Initially had a few problems setting it up... (ntp and wifi.)
But now that it's set up I haven't had to reboot it at all.
Even when I'm doing tinkering with rrdtool to produce my own graphs with the RPi's temp on it.
My next graph I'm doing while I'm on holiday will be an rX and tX one...
