Thanks caxalot.

For a CPU only system, are there any advantages or improvements, with regard to folding, in moving to V8?

Thanks, I got it working, but I'm still confused about the config.xml file. Does V8 support all the V7 options, or should the config.xml file basically be blank?

Also, for Raspberry Pi OS, apt install /<directory>/fah-client_8.3.5_arm64.deb worked.

What exactly does one need to do, to setup a headless Folding@Home machine, running the V8.3.5 Beta software? I've installed V8.3.5 on a Raspberry Pi, but it's not folding (based on CPU frequency). Prior to installing it, I deleted the folding slot (under V7.6.21), so config.xml doesn't have any fol...

How much RAM do you have on these systems ? Are they dedicated to FAH ? 2GB, and they are headless Pi's, doing nothing but FAH. Can you check in system logs if the errors happen at the same time as other events ? I could if I knew what to check, and where to find it. These Pi's all run 24/7, and no...

Just curious.

Where do you find the project description?

I have 10 Pi 4Bs doing F@H work. All errors are The total potential energy is nan resulting in WU_STALLED (127 = 0x7f) Pi 1: 12409 (Run 83, Clone 3, Gen 22) failed with too many errors Pi 2: 12417 (Run 113, Clone 7, Gen 26) completed with 2 errors 12411 (Run 120, Clone 5, Gen 24) completed without e...

WU 18490 is exceeding the timeout of 2 days, on my Raspberry Pi hardware. It's taking about 2 days and 20 hours for the Pi's to complete these WUs. WU 18491 is exceeding the timeout of 2 days, on my Raspberry Pi hardware. It's taking about 3 days and 9.5 hours for the Pi's to complete these WUs. WU ...

I notified the researcher ... There are so many projects that shouldn't assign on RPi ... :roll: We have added a constraint on the project to prevent this from happening. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. Should my Raspberry Pi's still be getting these WUs? The last WU was assigned on May...

I assume WUs that exceed the timeout are a problem.

Thanks toTOW and ayanb73 for fixing that problem.

Will someone please answer my question in the first post.

The minimum Raspberry pi is version 4. If you are on a lower version, it is unsupported. Jimbo, had you looked at my Hardware configuration, you would have noticed that I have 10 BCM2711 processors. The Raspberry Pi 4 is the only Pi to use these processors! Yes, that info is there. But posted in th...

WU 19421 is exceeding the timeout of 2 days, on my Raspberry Pi hardware. It's taking about 2 days and 6.5 hours for the Pi's to complete these WUs.

The very first of these WUs was issued on April 21 @ 0:45.

Is this a problem or not?

No

Thanks Joe.
