R1 Custom Firmware available!

As promised, I am releasing my customized firmware to the community. Please note that although I refer to this package as custom firmware, it is really just a patch file. If you reset your R1 to factory defaults, you will lose the customizations. In which case, you would just need to re-apply the patch.

Changelog for release 0.95:
- Opened up port 4029 for API access to cgminer-u3 instance
- Max frequency for U3 increased to 250M
- Max fequency for R1 increased to 250M (I have not personally tested freq past 125. Use at your own risk!)


Firmware Enhancements
- U3 zombie handling(Scripted auto-cgminer restarts and R1 reboot if necessary)
- Supports modifying R1 pools from UI, without losing the ability to use Bitmain's solo pool for R1.
- Detailed R1 stats page, including pool statistics
- Supports modifying R1 freq and voltage from UI
- U3 freq selection increased to 250M
- Cgminer-U3 API open for monitoring with 3rd party tools

WARNING: These customizations provide the ability to push your R1 beyond its intended limits. Because of this, it will likely void your warranty with Bitmain. Additionally, I provide this patch with no official support, and take no responsibility for any damage done to your R1 device or its surroundings. Use at your own risk! By downloading and applying this patch, the user is accepting these conditions.

Hello and thank you. I appreciate the help. I did not use that particular link. But the link I used has the same identical information. I will reflash the pi tomo and try again. But the libncurses.so.5 error. Think it has to do with a 32 bit or 64 bit issue of some kind. I tried to download both 64 and 32 bit versions of libncurses.so.5 and kept getting error the file can not be found or does not exist. I am at a loss. I am using powered hubs for everything, including my perhiphals. Know the pi does not like too much power draw. I just want to use the pi to run bfgminer. I have 13 moonlanders sitting idle....
Ahoy fellow Raspberry Chum!

I have found that my raspberry pi zeros absolutely HATE any usb 3 cable (the blue ones). They will never ever recognize, however when I got a cable from the dollar store, and connected that to the powered Usb hub, it recognized.

I used Raspbian Stretch Lite when i initially set mine up, however it would appear it has now been replaced with "Raspberry Pi OS Lite" , https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/operating-systems/

I like that since it removes excess bloatware and apps that I did not need, and gave a barebones starting point for troubleshooting.

Did you follow the standard old setup instructions on the pi for the moonlander?
This is the tutorial I had followed. https://steemit.com/raspberry/@qctechno/howto-install-futurebit-moonlander-2-usb-scrypt-miner-with-raspberrypi-3

I'd recommend starting over on the Pi image, since it can get all borkled from too many different file versions.

hope it helps!

Still no idea what this L2F part is... But it smells like my old "electronics 101" classroom in here.

I am using the raspberry pi 4 with 1.5ghz processor and 8gb memory
