Did you install Zadig? (don't for BFG). If not, do install it and use CGminer.

It appears from your first post that Zadig is for Windows. I am using a Raspberry Pi.

Yes it is. I should have seen the peng.

I don't have xp with BFG on a Pi, sorry.

No silly.  The Raspberry Pi computers run Linux..

He means xp == experience.

gotcha 
I need to compile your goodness onto the Rpi and see if I can get it to work.

Hi all.
Just wanted to share my experience with the Rockminer R-Box on Raspberry pi.
I didn't realise there were any guides so I just sort of winged it, and I guess you can too.
I have 2 running at the moment on a powered USB hub at 290MHz and getting a combined of 71GHS
Raspberry Pi Model B

(sorry for poor formatting, this is just a quick explanation)
My steps:
Install Raspian from the Raspberry Pi website (in fact I used NOOBS to install it to a 32gb micro-SD with an SD card adapter)
SSH in from my windows box
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev libusb-1.0-0 libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev (to get the dependencies)
sudo wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/cgminer-4.4.2.tar.bz2
sudo tar xvf cgminer-4.4.2.tar.bz2
(rename to cgminer) sudo mv cgminer-4.4.2 cgminer
cd cgminer
./configure --enable-icarus (let it churn and burn for like 15 minutes)
make

Now it's all working with CLI (no webserver or anything, cause I don't like it)

Now I just run it with

screen sudo ./cgminer -o blablah -u blah -p blah --rock-freq 290

The screen command just lets it run in the background even when you close the the SSH session.

I also just made a little shell script that runs on boot, reboot the pi and you're good to go.

Hope that helps anyone who's been struggling.

I still can't get this R-Miner too solo mine.

I am using Windows 7 64bit with cgminer 4.4.2.

I get the "waiting for work to be available from pools." It satys there for about 30-60 seconds then goes to a blck box with a blinking cursor.

I have this as my bat: cgminer.exe -o http://my computer ip with wallet:port -u user -p pass

I am trying to solo mine from a different computer to where the wallet is at.

Not trying to solo mine BTC just other Sha coins.

[Meech]

Try Bitsolo.net.  It's far easier and you get the benefits of a pool to help.

Using a 600W 12v 50A power supply to run 7 R-box. Will the machine get burnt ?

The power consumption is fine, only ~230W.

supposingly i have 10. i tried to test run 2 of them to the psu this morning, and it got burnt $120SGD gone lol

Anyway..each or my r-box is at 45-49 degree C.. consider dangerous ?

Fine.

Have anyone hit 37GH/s ??

[Nurichbin]

Well no. With 290 MH/z im at 35,66 gh/s. But i suppose this is because it is like 32 degrees here.

[antonio8]

Have anyone hit 37GH/s ??

Hit it, yes. Constant, no.

I have even seen 40G very briefly a few times.

[djkyno]

My boxes are getting 45-49 degree C. and i hear cranky sound like sparks going off from the machine.. gosh.. is this even normal ? it was right beside me, and worried tht it might explode and burn

something is wrong there, these babies are very quite, check the fan and the power supply (if you use a hub with multiple power outlets try to plug it direct to the wall)

[djkyno]

Is it something to do with the power supply ? i am not using a computer PSU, but those industrial power supply.

wondering is it flowing extra current or amp to my machine or something ? And also, when you guys open up ur R-box. do you have a white plastic/rubber sheet inside ?
