I think I got it....

I'm running Fedora 20... I copied the MnerEU.img file to the /home/<username>/Downloads directory...
Then I ran (in my case) while as root:   dd bs=4M if=MinerEU.img of=/dev/mmcblk0

It did pop up with a message "dd: error writing '/dev/mmcblk0': No space left on device" but after a few minutes of waiting, it came back with the final imaging results.

I then popped it into my Raspberry Pi and it booted up well over the RCA Video output, I didn't get any HDMI output. No worries about the video output though. I can manage.

I hope this helps others....

FYI.. It looks like Minera is supported now by the Innosilicon A2 mining equipment now...

Awesome! Has anyone tested? Is OCing to 1300MHz supported?

Did this work for anyone? How do the settings have to look like?

Can anyone confirm this?  I do not see it stated anywhere else that Minera supports the a2.

Apparently GAW Miners says it works. I can test loading it onto my Raspberry Pi. I personally don't have an Innosilicon A2 miner, but was helping out a fellow miner getting his miners up and running... But based on that link I provided a few posts ago, that it what GAW Miners had e-mailed us directly in regards to instructions for loading the Minera image onto the Rasp Pi's of the A2's.

Give it a try.

Well I loaded up the Minera image per the instructions, and all looks to be well. There are a lot of great features in this image. I just wish I had an A2 to use it with.

My a2 is currently under a rental contract,  once that ends in a couple of hours I will check and report back here later this evening.

I have minera installed on an sd card but can not figure out the ip or a way to log into the machine once installed.

Download Angry IP Scanner. That can help.you.  After you find the IP,  You can SSH into it with the username pi and password minera. Then after logging in type sudo su to get root access.

Also can open up connected devices to your router.  it will show connected devices no need to scan that way.

Could not find it that way,  already tried.  Will try using angry scanner in a little while and will rerport back.

    I will say that the machines actually pull way more from the wall than advertised.  That being said, they are currently the most efficient.  That also being said, you can get 44Mh/s for $799 @1kwh now, so I think your prices probably need some tweaking to sell here (since this audience is more informed).


No it doesn't pull "way more" from the wall than advertised and it runs 102-112 MH/s at the pool with the cgminer update.

It will soon do 150 MH/s at less than 1K watts per Innosilicon.

Quote

    Its per chip performance has reached over 1.6MHs to 1.8MHs at only 10W power consumption, which can allow for the unbeatable up to 150MHs per box performance within only 1KW power supply & very quiet fan cooling.


The device was designed to be able to tweak to twice the nominal speeds. Go read it on their website and get "informed".  Cool

At https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=21399.0 someone shows a device that works on 1350Mhz after an updated cgminer.....
Someone know something about that??

So I tried the hashra image and it loads fine @192.168.1.20 but the included mining software is not compatible with our A2 rigs. I tried the above mentioned image (R32) and the latest (R35) with no success.

I'm having trouble with my A2 mini terminator.

My A2 mini has the raspberry pi reporting "no any A1 board" during bootup.
https://i.imgur.com/ZEElo6f.jpg


But before I could get to that point in the bootup process, it used to never finish booting or connect to my router with this being the furthest it would go:

https://i.imgur.com/83QFoVj.jpg

I bypassed this by typing "avoid_safe_mode=1" without quotes in config.txt

It seemed to work normally but I tried to enter the Clevermining pool info and it looked like it worked at first, until I refreshed the page where the cgminer stuff showed up as stopped.

I've tried other non-multipools but still nothing shows up as working.

I've tried using the image on ZoomHash's guide on another brand new SD card, and I still have to modify the config to get it to do anything, but even then it doesn't mine.

Is my Raspberry Pi defective, or am I missing something?

My problem was indeed that the Raspberry Pi controller that was integrated into my A2 Mini Terminator was defective.

Replacing it solved everything.

Glad to see you found the problem. I have a question. I made an image that allows for more over-clocking options. However, in the code, the number of A2 chips is hard-coded. How many chips, with how many cores on each chip, does the new A2Mini have. I might be able to convert this version to fit the new A2Mini (I can't test is myself though).

Thnx

I know it has 2 boards, and it seems to advertise 10 chips per board.

But I see this in status monitor.

Not sure why it says 12 chip, unless that was their original intention.

thanks for the info.
It probably says 12 chips because it is an adapted version form the A1, which has 12 chips.
I you click on the 'stats' page you should see the temperature per chip. Could you post a photo from that? (I need the number of cores per chip and the amount of chips)
And at what frequency are you running it?
When you have indeed 10 chips per board you should be able to go to 40MH/s
