Well ends up today I have the blue cards working with cgminer! Ends up that instead of being intuitive and hooking up the controllers to the cards from the controller to the data out pins, you're supposed to connect the spi cables so they go from data in to the controller...  Huh But now that I switched the cables, with 12 boards, were working at about 370 Gh/s which is a heck of a lot better than 0! But now that it's finally working, I can work on getting the hashing rate up Smiley

So I finally decided to try CGMiner with no success Sad. I plugged only 1 board in (it somehow detected 3) and tried to run it and besides connecting to the pool and getting new blocks, all I see are hardware errors and bad chip messages where it slows down the chips until it eventually disables it... Any ideas on what is happening??

Also, when I run "sudo /opt/bitfury/start-miner.sh" I get an error of "cp: cannot stat '/opt/bitfury/empty_stat.json': No such file or directory".

Run this: "touch /opt/bitfury/empty_stat.json". Then try "sudo /opt/bitfury/start-miner.sh" again. After running that, wait about 30 seconds or a minute and "cat /run/shm/.stat.json", that will show a summary of what your boards are (or aren't) doing.

Now start-miner.sh executes but when I run "cat /run/shm/.stat.json", I get "cat: /run/shm/.stat.json: No such file or directory"

Can you try uploading your working raspberry pi's sd card contents? It just seems like nothing is working with the image from black arrow's website...

Hey guys,
I've been trying for hours to get my boards working but no matter what I try, the hash rate stays at 0 and I've been trying to just connect to ghash until I can get it working. I've read that you can set up the miners through the web interface but when I go to the ip address of the rPi, I just get the generic "It works! This is the default web page for this server. The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet." Also, when I run "sudo /opt/bitfury/start-miner.sh" I get an error of "cp: cannot stat '/opt/bitfury/empty_stat.json': No such file or directory". Finally, I posted what I see in "screen -r" since it looks like it is connecting and receiving jobs but mstat is showing nothing and neither is ghash.  Huh

I just can't seem to get anything to work!!

Ahm, useful guide.
I seem to be having trouble while logging in, that password doesn't work for me.

Yea root/pi does not work on my pi either. Im waiting for a response from bobsag about what else it could be.

Try username: pi and password: raspberry
