What binaries is everyone else using for the raspberry and Gridseed products?
I have dropped cgminer, tried all possible forks on 2 raspi's with 10 and 20 gridseeds connected.
Lots of HW error's and they all seem to crash after a while.

On my setup, bfgminer runs most stable (https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer/tree/gridseed)
It also has a higher hashrate reported on the pool compared to cgminer, especially on p2pools.
Don't know if it supports blades yet.

The new cpuminer fork from sandor111 also looks very promising. It runs stable on raspi and has this auto tune function.
Some pools don't work yet, but there should be a fix for this very soon.

https://github.com/siklon/usb-miner/tree/master/software/cpuminer

Fixed issue with 100% reject on some pools.  Wink

Can you provide a binary for the rasp ..... for it? Does it work with g-blades?

Latest binary for Rpi (LA-v3g)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dzl44hj2kiiwa0f/minerd-sandor111

How to compile on Rpi:
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

It doesn't work yet with the Blades, but it's easy to add support for it, I just need someone with a Blade willing to help me test it.
