Which OS should I put on my OrangePi to work fine with the miner? Raspbian will do?

By the way, MinersSupply/rockmoney is no longer an authorized vendor for GekkoScience products.

That's a shame, I had great dealings with them; hope it was nothing bad! What happens with warranty work now? Do we still go through them if we have an issue or through you?

I just received my Pi 4 today and it didn't come with an SD card. Can I use the SD card from my Pi 3 B+?
I tried it but it wouldn't boot...
As far as I know since the 4 uses a different SoC / CPU / GPU then all the other ones you are not going to be able to just move the card. And even if you do and get it booted, you are going to have to re-compile just about every app and driver. Not going to be worth the time and effort to save a little money. I don't know where you are but you can get 64GB microSD cards here (USA) for under $12.50. -Dave

Did you renew the bootloader as described here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/look for Recovery It may solve your problem.

You can use the same SD card however you will need to reformat it and install the latest Raspbian OS. https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/noobs/To see what kernel you are on do this on your 3b+ at a command line type uname -r and hit enter. The current kernel that supports Pi4 is: 4.19.58-v7l+ If you need to reformat and start over, here is a link to reset the flashed SD card to it's original state and then follow the same process you did before with the Pi 3b+ to load the OS to the SD card (etcher or some other flash utility). https://www.pendrivelinux.com/restoring-your-usb-key-partition/

Thanks for the command to check. It returns 4.19.58-v7+, but it won't boot the Pi 4. The red light comes on and the green light flashes once or twice and goes out. I'm in the process of downloading the image now and I went to WallyWorld and got a couple new microSD cards and will load the image on them tomorrow. That download site sooo slooooww. It passed their test so that shouldn't be the issue. Thanks though.

Hey again. I'm trying to get CGminer to run on OrangePi PC. Installed Debian 8, kernel 3.4.39. All the dependencies are fine, compilation is fine, but when I start the cgminer it will show the version and then crashes without any message. Can anyone advice me? Maybe which OS and version would be best to run?
Thank you

Well. I'm finally getting around to cleaning old ASIC miners out of the basement and into storage.
Assuming, that means I will eventually get around to actually putting up my GekkoScience Terminus R606
I was looking at the 1st page of this thread. So first of many dumb questions.
I simply want to use an old laptop and a regular Corsair PSU with this unit.
1) is there anything I need to worry about on such a laptop for the USB port voltage?
2) I assume the directions I see on the first post of this thread do apply to the Terminus R606 also and there are no other divergent directions for laptops specifically vs the Raspberry Pi?
Thanks, that should hopefully get me started on this project of a least getting the R606 up once I clear room in the basement project.
later

Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:)

I use a pc that is mining with some GPU's. I use a spare pcie cable for the r606. The USB Jack may or may not work well depends on the controller in the laptop. I use win 10

I'll probably use a straight Linux Lubuntu (light ubuntu) on an old laptop I used a mess of free ones (never to go beyond XP laptops for Linux) for miners in the basement to overview.
Evo N800v Compaq. Like 1gb ram. I'll see if they will work.
I have a USB 'toy' voltage tester around here someplace. What is the minimum I can get away with on these WITHOUT having to use the GekkoScience HUB toy?
Too many real-world projects and too little time, except for quick posts between projects (house) and Bitcointalk.
Retire they said, have more free time they said, yeah sure.

AFAIK the Terminus only uses USB for data so there should be no limitations there.

No one any advice on which OS runs the best with the CGminer and OrangePi (RaspberryPi)?

for RaspberryPI's we run Rasbian, a flavor of Debian specifically written for the pi's. We dont have any test of OrangePi's or examples. Your work if you can get it going would be invaluable. When you run cgminer, are you supplying any command line parameters or just running it as "./cgminer"?

I did supply the -o -u -p, the miner is starting with version showed up, but then it stops without any error. Is there a log where I could find what caused it to crash?

try running ./cgminer -D --verbose 2>logfile.txt it will ask you for a url, username and password inside the program. and log all errors to logfile.txt. for the url, only enter the XXX portion from stratum+tcp://XXX
