Re: Official FutureBit Apollo BTC Software/Image and Support thread

Is it picked up by your PC or laptop? That would have been my first troubleshooting step. Grin

Figure out whether it's a problem with the hashboard / standard unit or the controller / full unit.
I would recommend the https://kano.is/ solo pool by kano. Not sure where solo mining sits on jstefanop's roadmap!

It's a brand new batch 1 device that I unboxed a few days ago. Setting up a dedicated rpi zero for testing will be the next step that weekend. That's way more effort to setup compared to the full node extension, that's why I didn't do it as first thing

Oh don't worry, you can also test the hashboard with any other PC! Doesn't have to be a Raspberry Pi and not even a Linux PC.
It can just be your daily driver, simply to quickly verify the hashboard is fine.

Just attached the standard unit to a new rpi unti and got the latest apollo-miner binaries (32 bit in this example).

I can see that ttyACM0 IS NOT there. All I get is this short message in dmesg after plugging it in:

Code:

[ 419.698180] usb 1-1-port4: connect-debounce failed

All command were entered as root. Any ideas?
