I have a bad beagleboner lol. I would like to hook the miner to usb and control from a pc. Has anyone successfully done this? Thanks for the help.
Yes, it's quite straightforward. There's a printer-style USB plug on each board. Just plug that in to a PC and run cgminer (I'm simplifying a little).
Yes, I did this last week. Make sure you get version 4.3.4 or earlier of cgminer. Later versions have a checksum error.
Also, you need to install the WinUSB driver for the goldstrike boards. See a prior post in this thread about it.
