Have anybody tried regular Beaglebone black, rev B or C together with bitmain microSD card to control S2?
Did it work?

I tried an SD card with the bitmaintech firmware flashed on it and it booted successfully.  i could access the web config for the miner and watch as it hashed at 0 ghs due to no asic's installed.

i have NOT tried replacing the BBB from bitmaintech with this one, though, so i can't really confirm that it works.

If anyone does, i too would love to hear about it.  Like to know if my spare parts are usable as spares or not.

I can confirm that it works - I did it temporary  Cool

fantastic! I am not familiar with the beaglebone black hardware format, but on pictures it looks much smaller than the one in S2.
I see USB, microUSB, 5V and Ethernet ports on pictures plus two multipin ports (for ribbon connectors?).

Did you power it through USB/micro USB and then connected to miner by the ribbon connector?

Thanks. I want to see if I can build S2 or S2-lite from parts.
