MinePeon configuration for NF2 and NF6 on Raspberry Pi

These instructions describe the steps necessary to update MinePeon version 0.2.4.6 to a CGMINER build (from 4.4.0) that supports the bitshopper NanoFury NF1 to NF6. A current MinePeon image 0.2.4.6 or higher on an SD card in the Raspberry PI is required.

Installing CGMiner

Login via SSH on the Raspberry under MinePeon. User: minepeon Password: peon

Then clone a copy of the current CGMINER sources in the home directory or another suitable installation location:

> cd ~
> git clone https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.git

The Arch Linux distribution used for MinePeon has already installed all the packages required for CGMINER, so there are no dependencies to consider.

> cd ~/cgminer
> ./autogen.sh
> ./configure --enable-bitfury
> make

Testing the CGMiner installation

Now you should test the freshly compiled CGMINER version:

> ./cgminer -n

The output of the test should be similar to the following:

[2014-07-27 17:33:45] USB all: found 14 devices - listing known devices
.USB dev 0: Bus 1 Device 14 ID: 04d8:00de
Manufacturer: 'bitshopper.de'
Product: 'NanoFury NF6 v.0.3'

Replacing the newly compiled CGMiner under MinePeon

Now the CGMINER version delivered with MinePeon can be replaced with the newly compiled one:

> mv /opt/minepeon/bin/cgminer /opt/minepeon/bin/cgminer.old
> cp cgminer /opt/minepeon/bin/cgminer
sudo reboot

Download

Here you can find precompiled versions of cgminer that you can use to replace the version that ships with MinePeon:

The result should look something like this in MinePeon:
