For more info on Monero click.
For mining you will need to setup a wallet for holding your mined coins.
Remember to only download stuff from their official website getmonero.org!
Information on howto setup a monero wallet is found
here.
For more info about ParrotOs check their website.
We gonna need the ROCm package for the AMD vega 56/64 GPU to work with the open source driver.
We don't need to install the closed source amdgpu-pro driver for mining.
This howto can be used with other debian based Linux Distro's at your own risk!
Open a terminal window on your parrotos-box and enter the following commands:
Replace cuda_10.1.168_418.67_linux.run with the current version of cuda. Check here for the current version
# for Nvidia GPU
wget https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/10.1/Prod/local_installers/cuda_10.1.168_418.67_linux.run
sudo sh cuda_10.1.168_418.67_linux.run
Un-check the "Driver" block and then select "Install" and hit "Enter".

If you want to adjust the powertables i.e. memory clockspeed, gpucore speed and voltages with rocm-smi you 'll have to edit your grub in /etc/default.
you have to add amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet".
The result should look like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff"
Remember to enter your own Monero-address or you will mine on my account :-). If you find this usefull I accept Monero donations on the address mentioned above!
I added a Qr-code below for my monero address.
