5A.2 Linux SHA Mode
5A.3 Linux Dual ModeRaspberry PiI’ll be hooking this up to power the Pi 3/12/2014 http://amzn.com/B00CBCGAL8 and testing out cgminer and cpuminer as well as casing and rack mounting the hosted set of devices I have.

Acquire an Rpi: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_10?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=raspberry%20pi

Dowload Raspbian from:
http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads
http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_latest
Extract the image file

Download SD Formatter from:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/

Extract and install sd formatter downloaded above.

Change the “Options” to Full and Adjust size

Confirm

If everything completed move on:

Download win32diskimager:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/win32diskimager/Archive/win32diskimager-v0.9-binary.zip?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Fwin32diskimager%2F&ts=1394574641&use_mirror=hivelocity
Extract the program and run it

I configured a few things on first boot:
Expand the image to fill the card
Change password
Change startup method (Text only)

Enable the root account

Code:

sudo passwd root
***
***
exit

ssh back in as root and change the associated paths and groups

Code:

usermod -l miner pi
usermod -m -d /home/miner miner
groupmod -n miner pi
exit

ssh back in as miner and install the pre-requisites

Code:

sudo -s
apt-get update
apt-get install -y build-essential libtool libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev autoconf automake screen

Build cgminer:

Code:

su miner
git clone https://github.com/gridseed/usb-miner/tree/master/software/cgminer
mv usb-miner/software/cgminer ~
cd cgminer
autoreconf -i
./configure --enable-gridseed
make

Build cpu miner:

Code:

cd
mv usb-miner/software/cpuminer ~
cd cpuminer
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

? Profit ?
