Hello

I'm having some trouble getting my Apollo BTC (Full version) to connect/mine successfully to a pool.

Short version : Hash board starts fine but Pools remain inactive (also on local display) , logs indicate connection success but also "POOL_ERROR ::: Exception: Subscription timed out"

If someone has experienced this error I would love to hear what might be wrong Smiley


Have you tried reflashing the SD Card?

Yes - Tried reflash SD Card +boot without the ssd initially to keep the node from having to resync but as this resulted in the same behavior, it was tried with the ssd but the result is the same sadly even with the 'wipe' of the ssd

Update ---

Managed to get it working with a vpn provider (nord) so it might just be overzealous ISP providers.

Yea looks like your ISP was block share submissions to the pool. Thats super weird and concerning...what ISP/country are you in?

Hello,

Anybody using standard unit with Rpi 4? What OS is compatible with delivered code?

I have Rri4 with umber LN and BTC Node running and now I need to connect BTC standard unit.

trying to run standard unit software on Rpi 4 getting an error message below:

I am running a standalone on a RPi 4 and here are the steps that I went thru to get it running.

How to Install 64-Bit OS on RPi 4 (4Gb) and get FutureBit Apollo BTC Standalone miner working


Get 64-Bit Raspberry Pi Image
https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_arm64/images/
Image with Pi Imager
Have to use Custom Image option for now as 64-bit version is not listed.
Raspberry Pi Imager Tool (https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/ )

Boot RPi with new card
Perform normal settings (SSH, Wifi, password, etc.)
Optionally:  sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade to get all updates applied.

Download RPi software from:
https://github.com/jstefanop/Apollo-Miner-Binaries/releases/
Get the aarch64 files and download and expand to folder of your choice
These are the Apollo miner executable along with start/stop scripts
Scripts will need editing for the user’s pool information, otherwise your mining power will benefit someone else.   

Install Prerequisites for Apollo Miner
Sudo apt-get install screen
Required for the Start_all script

Update Libstdc++ code
Append a line to file “/etc/apt/sources.list”
Type: Sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list to edit the file.
Add this line:    deb http://deb.debian.org/debian sid main
Ctrl-w, Ctrl-x to save and exit.
Then run
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade libstdc++6

Confirm your Standalone Apollo-BTC is visible:
ls /dev/ttyACM*
You should see this form of output for each attached standalone miner:  /dev/ttyACM0

Cd into your miner folder and type this to get started:
sudo ./start_apollo.sh
Or this if you have more than one unit:    sudo ./miner_start_all.sh 



I documented this as I was going thru sorting out the issues that I had, but I think it will get you up and running..




I was able to install as per steps provided.

But stuck with:

Confirm your Standalone Apollo-BTC is visible:
ls /dev/ttyACM*
You should see this form of output for each attached standalone miner:  /dev/ttyACM0

I connected my BTC via micro usb to RPI but I could not see ttyACM*.

Thank you

So this procedure helped with the GLIBX issue, correct?

Since it is not showing up with the ls command, then you are down to a couple of items..

1) What color and state is the USB light on the front of the of the standalone miner?  Are there any other lights on the bottom of the unit lit?
2) Try a different USB port on the RPi?
3) Try a different USB cable?
4) What PS are you using and are both PCIe power cables plugged in tightly?

TDC+Telenor/Denmark _BUT_ i need to do more testing before i can confidently throw the blame at them.

Just need to look at the Stratum protocol - With a live connection i now have a baseline Smiley

It was Micro usb cable, I used another one and it seems to me OK now.
Thank you
Bet the cable was a charger cable. They lack the wires used for data transfer. The USB cable MUST be one that supports both charging and data transfer.

Ran into this a couple times when running Avalons and using cables I have laying around.

Yeah, cable is fine now.

But another issue I have with Rpi4.

I have Rpi4 Umbrel LN running with BTC ssd full node connected to RPi usb3 port.

When I connect to the second usb3 port BTC miner,

I am getting:ls: cannot access '/dev/ttyACM*': No such file or directory

But when I disconnect BTC ssd usb3 and keep just BTC miner

umbrel@umbrel:~ $ ls /dev/ttyACM*
/dev/ttyACM0

Somehow when I use rpi4  with 2 usb ports. one for ssd full node and another it does not work.

I have another Rpi running LTC moon 2, but its 32 bit. It would be nice if ver for 32 bit will be available.

Thank you

Rpi4 good luck with that because I never got anything to run on mine. It is picky with sdcards first then overheats. I Like the one that comes with Apollo and will be getting one to replace the rpi4.


My questions is if Apollo BTC will have the ability to add more pools instead of the one line item I have?  Need to add at least a secondary fallback url.

I’m assuming it will be in the update thats was due to be released this week.

Check your power adapter.   Many times with RPi's there is not enough power to power all of the IO ports.   

I use the Canakit RPi  3.5Amp adapter on mine that is running two USB ports with LTC Moonlanders and Gekko hubs on each. 

Also you should disable with Wifi power management if you are using Wifi - I have seen issues with some mining apps with Wifi that goes into different power states.

I have Rpi4 Umbrel LN running with BTC ssd full node connected to RPi usb3 port.

When I connect to the second usb3 port BTC miner,

I am getting:ls: cannot access '/dev/ttyACM*': No such file or directory

But when I disconnect BTC ssd usb3 and keep just BTC miner

umbrel@umbrel:~ $ ls /dev/ttyACM*
/dev/ttyACM0

Somehow when I use rpi4  with 2 usb ports. one for ssd full node and another it does not work.

I have another Rpi running LTC moon 2, but its 32 bit. It would be nice if ver for 32 bit will be available.

Thank you

Check your power adapter.   Many times with RPi's there is not enough power to power all of the IO ports.   

I use the Canakit RPi  3.5Amp adapter on mine that is running two USB ports with LTC Moonlanders and Gekko hubs on each. 

Also you should disable with Wifi power management if you are using Wifi - I have seen issues with some mining apps with Wifi that goes into different power states.



Yep, second this! Especially with the RPi4, power is VERY important. Make sure it's got a power adapter with enough amps to supply it or you'll run into all sorts of issues

Technically someone with an Apollo should have found a block by now...obviously unless you are solo mining you probably won't know, since most pools dont make it a point to show you found a block.

That might be a fun feature to add though.

So this procedure helped with the GLIBX issue, correct?

Since it is not showing up with the ls command, then you are down to a couple of items..

1) What color and state is the USB light on the front of the of the standalone miner?  Are there any other lights on the bottom of the unit lit?
2) Try a different USB port on the RPi?
3) Try a different USB cable?
4) What PS are you using and are both PCIe power cables plugged in tightly?




Tried mine with 3 different cords (one being the one that came with the board) on 3 different machine and it still does not show up.

USB light is red in all combinations

Hello,

Anybody using standard unit with Rpi 4? What OS is compatible with delivered code?

I have Rri4 with umber LN and BTC Node running and now I need to connect BTC standard unit.

trying to run standard unit software on Rpi 4 getting an error message below:

./start_apollo.sh

I am running a standalone on a RPi 4 and here are the steps that I went thru to get it running.

How to Install 64-Bit OS on RPi 4 (4Gb) and get FutureBit Apollo BTC Standalone miner working


Get 64-Bit Raspberry Pi Image
https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_arm64/images/
Image with Pi Imager
Have to use Custom Image option for now as 64-bit version is not listed.
Raspberry Pi Imager Tool (https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/ )

Boot RPi with new card
Perform normal settings (SSH, Wifi, password, etc.)
Optionally:  sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade to get all updates applied.

Download RPi software from:
https://github.com/jstefanop/Apollo-Miner-Binaries/releases/
Get the aarch64 files and download and expand to folder of your choice
These are the Apollo miner executable along with start/stop scripts
Scripts will need editing for the user’s pool information, otherwise your mining power will benefit someone else.   

Install Prerequisites for Apollo Miner
Sudo apt-get install screen
Required for the Start_all script

Update Libstdc++ code
Append a line to file “/etc/apt/sources.list”
Type: Sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list to edit the file.
Add this line:    deb http://deb.debian.org/debian sid main
Ctrl-w, Ctrl-x to save and exit.
Then run
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade libstdc++6

Confirm your Standalone Apollo-BTC is visible:
ls /dev/ttyACM*
You should see this form of output for each attached standalone miner:  /dev/ttyACM0

Cd into your miner folder and type this to get started:
sudo ./start_apollo.sh
Or this if you have more than one unit:    sudo ./miner_start_all.sh 



I documented this as I was going thru sorting out the issues that I had, but I think it will get you up and running..





How to start ./apollo-miner on Rpi so it's not timeout?
For example I ssh from mac using  terminal to Rpi and start ./apollo-miner.
But when my mac goes sleep my session terminates.

I mined a block on the testnet just to confirm it works: https://blockstream.info/testnet/tx/fa17ec34ada175bebb6de3b4cb50135d6931f7240d7886fce9c1bd5f587fa772?expand

Share diff was 256M, so way lower than mainnet, but good enough for 67M testnet difficulty. So far my best share on my futurebit is 17G.
