Will this work with avalon 741 miners? How do I set it up?

Install Minera from the image to any RPI even the rpi that comes with the miner should work, if you don't know how to install minera manually, i would use the per made image. ... with a new SD card ....save the old SD in case with the avalon software on it ....

According to the Cg miner read me for 4.10 CG the A7/avalon 741 is on by default .CG.. should be in minera 8 already unless you did a manual install of minera then you might have to compile Cgminer how i did below or with minera.

like this

Code:

cd /var/www/minera
./build_miner.sh cgminer

command line to run the A7 under local miner settings for manual guided miner with minera.

Code:

--lowmem --avalon7-fan 10-100 --avalon7-freq 600 636 672 708 744 780 --avalon7-voltage-offset 0

you have to use the USB converter they give you or it won't work with any pI type ...

or compile it this way ...

if you would rather compile your own copy of Cgminer for Linux

compile it with SSH some thing like this

Code:

sudo apt-get -y install git-core build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl4-openssl-dev libjansson-dev uthash-dev libncursesw5-dev libudev-dev libblkmaker-0.1-6 libevent-dev libmicrohttpd-dev libc-bin libusb-1.0

sudo git clone https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.git

cd /root/cgminer

./autogen.sh

make -j 4
make install

sudo chmod 775 cgminer

sudo ldconfig
lsusb

./cgminer --version

Then copy it to mnera like this .

Code:

cd /root/cgminer

sudo cp cgminer /var/www/minera/minera-bin/cgminer
cd /var/www/minera/minera-bin/
./cgminer --version

or if you would rather use the custom folder in minea for forked software miners.

Code:

cd /root/cgminer
sudo cp cgminer /var/www/minera/minera-bin/custom/avalon_7
cd /var/www/minera/minera-bin/custom
./avalon_7 --version
