Be sure to do an rpi-update to get the latest firmware. Lots of USB fixes in there.

Don't use a USB 3.0 hub to connect anything to the rpi. Try the jally direct.

Use kano's pre-built cgminer binaries for the rpi:

Can the Pi draw it's power from a powered hub?

Yes, I run mine off the "High Power" ports on my DLink D7 hub.

I fix broken miners. And make holes in teeth :-)

Been thinking about replacing my ibm x41 laptop with a pi for when I move this mess out to the solar shed. Quick question:

Can the Pi draw it's power from a powered hub?
If not, can one use a non-powered hub to drive about half a dozen devices? These would be jallies and a chili; I'll get rid of my stupid crock-erupters.

Just use minepeon. Takes about 10 mins to set up.

+1 on this... From what I know Minepeon is the least hassle and most reliable for Rpi.

+2 on this.. Had the same delightful experience with Minepeon

FWIW, I've had better stability using BFGMiner on a Raspi vs CGMiner :| Running Raspbian.

Not sure if switching mining software is going to fix my issue. Anyone here with similar hw/sw that can offer some advice?

No, I was hoping to stick with CGMiner since it was working fine on my PC. I also use it for Litecoin mining. I think I have some sort of configuration issue somewhere.

Have you tried MultiMiner? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/multiminer-any-miner-any-where-on-any-device-free-open-source-cross-platform-248173

Been running my Jalapeno for a few weeks now on my Win7 PC with no issues (other than a rather high reject rate...) and decided to order a Raspberry Pi so that I can move it all to the garage. Installed everything according to https://forums.butterflylabs.com/bitcoin-discussion/3238-super-tutorial-raspberry-pi-raspbian-cgminer-tightvnc-wifi-boot.html and I am able to almost get everything working. Unfortunately, I feel like I have wasted a day since my miner is down for 9 hours now and there are no signs that I will be mining again soon.

The issue is that CGMiner does not detect the Jalapeno. The lsusb command shows that a device is detected which I think is the Jalapeno (I would paste the output here but copy/paste doesn't work with TightVNC, which is driving me #$@$%@#$%@ crazy). Also dmesg says that "ttyUSB0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0" and sometimes "eth0: hardware isn't capabale of remote wakeup".

I feel like I have tried everything, but haven't found the solution yet. If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.

TIA,
Jeff
