Hi MineForeman.
Any updates for Minepeon on the BBB platform or is this dead in the waters?

Thanks.

Far from it... I am spending the day bashing my head against it Wink !  

Grab a copy if you want from http://minepeon.com/img/testing/, it is fully in sync with the raspberry pi 0.3.0 PR2.

Issues I am still having with it;-

* Kernel is just not "perfect" yet.
* Debian (that comes with the Rev C) refuses to let SD card boots.

That second one really pisses me off Wink .  It is easy to get around, just boot the Debian and nuke the boot partition but I need to learn more about uBoot and how to make a proper uEnv.txt to fix it (if someone is a gun at it and wants to show me how that would be great).

If you decide to have a look, I am keen on people testing the server bit available at https://mineforeman.io/ that I put up withing the past few days.  At the moment it is fairly basic and just tells you what MinePeons are running on your network, I am just testing graphing libraries to give you some cool visuals though.  Sooner or later you will be able to set alerts from it and re-configure you devices.

As always, you can just turn it off in settings.  As always, I will be keeping it free[1] to use as well and will be releasing the source so you can run your own miner farms.

[1] Some things cost me extra money and I may restrict it to people that donate, for example I may have to charge for txt alerts, I cannot find a good free provider that I can use.
