send me the video please to see how it looks this prisma block erupter.

The mentioned video was about assembling a Tube, not about the Prisma, but it gave some hints on what to expect, after all, the Prisma pretty much is nothing else than a longer already assembled Tube (besides the technical advances).

do you own a prism? could you post some pics?

Nobody has got a Prisma yet, last word was they are all stuck at customs in HK right now. I'm interested in the Prisma, because it should be the best miner for the buck right now, but I haven't ordered yet.

I've seen a video about assembling a Tube yesterday, which answered a few questions and opened new ones:

Each unit has a 5 bit DIP switch allowing to assign 32 different addresses for daisy-chaining 32 units resulting in up to 8 devices on a single USB adapter or ethernet controller.

A Raspberry PI B+ has 4 USB ports, an ethernet controller 3 UART ports.

Can more than one chain (with up to 32 units each) be connected to one Raspberry PI B+ or ethernet controller?

What exactly is the limit / limiting factor on the number of miners operated by one controller?

Why would it not be possible to connect 4 chains with a total of 128 units (= 32 devices) with 4 USB adapters to a single Raspberry PI B+?

In the video I've seen the guy mentioned that only the first UART port on the ethernet controller was working. Is this true and only one chain can be connected to the ethernet controller, or could indeed 3 chains be operated by a single ethernet controller?

ASICMINER has released their branch of cgminer: https://github.com/blockerupter/cgminer

How about a pull request back to CGMiner so that it can be included upstream instead of introducing Yet Another Miner Fork?

AM forked from 4.6, wrote a seperate driver(as opposed to mucking with icarus or some other) and made minimal changes elsewhere to include the driver. Merging it in shouldn't be a big problem.

+1 for pull request back to official CGminer

Do we get any official feedback from AM or @friedcat in this thread at all?

A little more interaction with the manufacturer and developer would be really appreciated.

Maybe it's this?

"Dear sir,

Emma here for help.
So sorry to make you feel inconvenience. The main reason of DHL delay is not the China National Holiday, is the HK Customs.
The truth is that numerous packages which all merchants handed over to DHL forwarder were stucked in Hk custom waiting to be released and all will be postponed to reach the HK DHL house . This is why DHL service people said there is no package of yours when you called them.Such severe situation was caused by 2 smuggling cases which happened recently here and both were also published on HK custom web page. Government also involves in and investigations are still on the go.

More information can be found as follows：
http://www.customs.gov.hk/en/publica...x_id_1220.html
http://www.customs.gov.hk/en/publica...x_id_1223.html

I have seen your message yesterday and asked relevant staff contact with DHL and custom for further information. I will let you know when i get any news. I will apply refund you the DHL shipping charge for this delay compensation.

Thank you
sincere
Emma"

...although one would think Asicminer would have still been able to inform its customers if this was the reason.

I'm only speculating here but access to Hong Kong from Shenzhen might be restricted right now.

.... Absolutely 0 chance of that [regarding the protests].

ASICMINER has released their branch of cgminer: https://github.com/blockerupter/cgminer

This branch supports both Tube and Prisma, you'll need AM's USB adapter to connect to your USB port. A random CP2102X usb to uart adapter might work as well if you can customize the adpater by adding a pull resistor to the TXD.

How to build:

./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-blockerupter
make

There's also a win32 binary here:
https://mega.co.nz/#!NY1FQbqB!4HFdFED73LbtrdNLU9ixJ-3asjmI1jhwc-7Qik9_x3w

How to run:
No extra command line parameters are needed. The Tube or Prisma will be identified as "BET" in cgminer.

Code:

./cgminer -o YOUR_POOL -u WORKER -p PASSWORD

Y

With this release I will start the build process this weekend to get a CubieTruck A20 image made.

A few points:

1. The initial release will be a pretty generic Cubian with the AM cgminer installed.
2. This will be put up under the CoinMineBoss site when out.

Round 2 build will be:

1. MinePeon UI with basic functionality.
2. Update the above.

Yes. cgminer is handling all the stratum part.
