DESK DEBIAN SETUP GUIDE v1.0
--
The SD card image can be downloaded from:
https://mega.co.nz/#!pVtGGCwD!z_L2dMPP1Zl9VuvJLqZIkOyxTltyQUMdIGEyD7pW64E
can be used for read/write with
http://sourceforge.net/p/win32diskimager/wiki/Home/.
*****************************************
Advice: buy an extra SD card 8GB for this purpose,
dont use the original.
*****************************************
What I have done is basicly make an tar copy of
/mineros/
/etc/
then installed debian on a external pi, with other SD card.
Unzipped the backup tar on the debian FS,
and debugged all day to get the dependencies right.
For convienence I have made a shell script for doing it at once.

as You can see it will first update all dependencies,
then compile cgminer and link it all.
Afterwards 2 things still need to be done:
-auto start mineros.
for this is the backup tar of /etc needed, because of all the symlinks being used,
for ex. /etc/rc0.d/K99boot.py links to /etc/init.d/boot.py,
which links to /mineros/boot.py.
Im not sure if linking it will do
## ln -s /mineros/boot.py /etc/init.d/boot.py
## ln -s /etc/init.d/boot.py /etc/rc1.d/K99boot.py
## ln -s /etc/init.d/boot.py /etc/rc4.d/S99boot.py
## ln -s /etc/init.d/boot.py /etc/rc5.d/S99boot.py
## ln -s /etc/init.d/boot.py /etc/rc2.d/S99boot.py
## ln -s /etc/init.d/boot.py /etc/rc3.d/S99boot.py
## ln -s /etc/init.d/boot.py /etc/rc6.d/K99boot.py
## ln -s /etc/init.d/boot.py /etc/rc0.d/K99boot.py
also executed:
cd /etc/init.d/
insserv boot.py
and changed the runtimelevel to 99 afterwards.
Still the boot.py in the mineros folder is NOT correct:
insserv: warning: script 'boot.py' missing LSB tags and overrides
To add an header use:
https://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScriptsafterwards you can remove the header, otherwise python cant execute the file.
An other thing that needs configuring is WLAN (if needed)
nano /etc/networking/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
#wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
wpa-ssid <YOUR_SSID_HERE>
wpa-psk <YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE>
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-group TKIP CCMP
NOTE the 2 lines:
wpa-ssid <YOUR_SSID_HERE>
wpa-psk <YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE>
BITMINE:
1.
What I didnt get working is the front display showing the ip address of the WLAN interface.
It works for eth0, not for wlan0.
2.
If you look at cgminer's output, I see lot of underflow warnings. (not enough work)
Why?
ssh into machine
execute:
screen -DR

(with above the desk is connected through eth0, to make sure it wasnt the wlan0 causing it)
(its only during startup)
3. Memory doesnt show up anymore. It shows 0.....
hope it helps also for you guys,
have phun with it!
i was sitting on my Desk 1 week and try to change what i can do . ( OC / Underclock etc ... NOTHING WORKS ! really good )
Then i get an new SD Card and write your Image .
and so on .
