The wiki provided information, but with the long list of options it was not clear to me how I would get the client running, and get it to use my account. Maybe it's just me, but I need a few examples to be able to get the xml entries put in the right place. Looking through /var/lib/boinc-client, it wasn't obvious to me what to enter in the xml files to get my project running. See below, I did end up editing the file remote_hosts.cfg, because I decided to control it remotely. rw-r-r- 1 root boinc 312 Apr 9 18:36 remote_hosts.cfg rw-rw-r- 1 root boinc 1498 Apr 12 22:40 global_prefs_override.xml rw-rw-r- 1 boinc boinc 356 cc_config.xml The file listing at /etc/boinc-client ls -l These confirmed that I do the typical commands.Īnd then needed to edit one or two xml files, The configuration files are located at two places: Googling around (actually -ing around), I found a few instructions such as: I did get it working, but as it turned out, (so far) I have only been able to get it working by setting it up with what I'll call a hybrid command line and GUI system. So I figured command line boinc configuration would be a good thing to learn. As a matter of fact, for performance reasons, I set up several of my BBB with the "IoT" version flashed onto them. With the BBB, one issue to consider is seems to be moving toward headless only images.
#Boinc work manager install
On the raspberry Pi, BOINC was easy to install and configure because I could use the simple synaptics software manager to install boinc-client, and boinc-manager. I did try it with an older version of BBB debian, but boinc could not resolve the dependencies. That's not the latest kernel, but fairly recent. The debian operating system that my BBB reports when I run the command uname -a is 4.14.49-ti-r54 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jun 15 22:14: armv7l GNU/Linux, I have a few BBB setting in a drawer (more than I like to admit), so why not put them to use? Beaglebone is running a fairly modern debian image, so it should be similar to but different from a raspberry Pi.
BOINC is, of course, the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing, a crowdsourcing computer clustering system to solve scientific problems. Finding Pulsars on Raspberry Pi (BOINC & also wanted to run BOINC and on my Beaglebone Black (BBB).
