The Rockpi 4 SE is essentially a computer that you can program. The Rockpi has capabilities for various management, monitoring, and automation tasks to further optimize operations at a bitcoin mining facility.
Software Overview
Retrofitting “Brains”’ on a Rock Pi involves first opening a Fedora terminal to develop u-boot for the Rock Pi.
Once the u-boot is prepared, a Talos image is created and transferred onto a microSD card.
To clarify the process:
- Use a Linux terminal to configure and compile u-boot for the Rock Pi.
- Once u-boot is set up, prepare a Talos OS image for the Rock Pi.
- Transfer the prepared Talos OS image onto a microSD card using the “Git” command.
This sequence ensures that the Rock Pi is equipped with both a suitable bootloader (u-boot) and the Talos OS necessary for its intended data center operations.
Keep in mind that each step involves specific technical tasks.
Hardware Overview
Items needed for hardware set up:
– EMMC (embedded MultiMediaCard)
1 PSU
Drill or Screwdriver with phillips head tip
Micro SD Card
- Enter the immersion cooling container and unscrew the right side of the server rack. Afterward, the rack should swing open like a door.
- There are 3 Rockpi’s per container. Place the sd card in the slot on the backside of the Rockpi 4-SE.
- An indicator of a successful flash will be blinking blue LED lights.
- Remove the SD card
- Close the server rack and drill the screws back in.
- If the flash does not work, try power cycling the Rockpi’s by unplugging and plugging back in the PSU.
Great Job! You’ve just Retrofitted brains in our immersion cooling container!
