for mining yes, but not for flashing

You also need internet for flashing.
Before upgrading it checks this url: http://www.lightningasic.com/firmware/md5/md5.txt

ah, thanks. now i can “spoof“ that with a proxy on my laptop

What's the log-in info to SSH into a TP-WR703N? Do we just copy over the bin file or how do we update? It's all in Chinese at this point.

How? All I see is the usual tp-link software in Chinese? No upload/update option that I can see.

There is an upload form somewhere in the Chinese firmware where you can upload the bin, this will help:

Are blades supported on this Firmware?

Are blades supported on this Firmware?

Not yet, I'm still figuring out the best way to distinguish a Blade from a standard 5-chip.

[kangertech]

ok this is my problem, i use last version, i tryed 3 different hubs, i switch on wiibox, i connect to ethernet, than i go to the dashboard, i connect the hub with 5 gridseed, it recognize them, it tells "runnung" but no hash after 5-10 minutes 
This is the log:

Can someone point me in the right direction for getting this to run on a rpi? I'm a complete Linux noob, so any advice is greatly appreciated!

Login as root, or use 'sudo -s' if using another user:

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get install -y build-essential libtool libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev autoconf automake screen
git clone https://github.com/siklon/usb-miner.git
cd usb-miner/software/cpuminer
./autogen.sh
./configure CFLAGS="-O3"
make

I also suggest to run 'rpi-update' and 'apt-get upgrade' to get the latest firmware and updates for your Raspberry Pi.

Mr. Jinx,
Thank you for putting this together.  I ran all the commands and everything went smoothly.  However, after rebooting, it still starts up Hashra Controlla (which came preinstalled).  Should I start with a fresh Rasbian image or is there a better way to fix this?

Sorry for the bump, but being a Linux noob, I'm not sure what to do next.

You should try this on a fresh Raspbian image, that would be easier.

Serial number maybe?

[Mr. Jinx]

Left part is BFGMiner, right part (after 5PM) is CPUMiner.
Notice the difference in rejected shares, nice huh?

Very nice! Going to try getting this working again tonight.

Anyone know how to get a list of USB devices on Ubuntu so I can list them on the command line?

Code:

sudo ./minerd --gc3355=/dev/ttyUSB0,/dev/ttyUSB1 --freq=800 --gc3355-autotune -o stratum+tcp://pool.com -u user -p x

^does not work for me

That does not help me, it's the serial from the ST32 chip.

Hmm.. okay. And i'm guessing the chips doesnt send any kind of serial number or things like that in the stream to cpuminer or any way to tell them apart there - that might be different from the 5chip ones to the blades?

I flashed two of them (lightning controller). One works excellent, the other is bricked i guess. Just 1 blue flash then nothing. Can anyone confirm this? Is there (a simple) way to solve this? Reset doesn't work.

Where can i buy a new controller?

Odd though, i flashed them exactly the same.

Confirmed. Happend to me aswell.

You have to solder some stuff. theres a link earlier in this thread.

You can buy them off ebay for ~20$ including shipping from china.

Code:

ls /dev/ttyUSB*

Thanks but that returns only the 3 USB ports on the computer....not the 20 miners. I'm at a loss :/

Code:

$ ls /dev/ttyUSB*
/dev/ttyUSB0  /dev/ttyUSB1  /dev/ttyUSB2

Edit: Figured it out. Turned out to be --gc3355=/dev/ttyACM0,/dev/ttyACM1,/dev/ttyACM2,etc after all.
