Re: Revive a Dead Antminer S2 with Beaglebone Black Rev. C (off the shelf)

I don't imagine the version should make much difference, they're basically the same except the Rev. C has more onboard storage.

Also want to point out another nice feature of this setup is that you can keep the beaglebone on despite removing power from the rest of the S2 by connecting a wall wart or USB 5V power supply.

step1

How do you extract the .xz file in windows ? 7zip says its not a valid archive .

http://s3.armhf.com/debian/raring/bone/ubuntu-raring-13.04-armhf-3.8.13-bone20.img.xz

never mind I had an old version of 7 zip... latest one works with xz

how do you go to step 3 i.e. how do you ssh when you boot form the sd card ? what is the IP address ? I tried 192.168.7.2 but no go...

ok figured it out.... you may want to add in step 3 to look for ip address for 'ubuntu-armhf' in your router and then ssh in to that
