You can have more than just the BF1 on a system. It just has to be the first probed and all after that need to be specific ports. It's what ended up having to do but I've migrated to nanofuries now so my BF1 hasn't seen sunshine in a while

My Red BitFurys are not recognized by MuM 3.3.4 BFGMiner 4.7.0. I've tried MuM's Scan Hardware but they don't get picked up. Win7 Device Manager sees all of them, e.g. Bitfury BF1 USB Miner (COM100). Anything I can try? TIA
These units tend to crash if they're probed for anything else, so you need to make sure you don't use -S all (or any other -S To un-crash them, a power cycle is needed first.
Does it make any difference if in MuM -S bigpic:all goes in Configure/Miner/Settings/Arguments/SHA-256 or Configure/Miner/Settings/Arguments/Hardware Scan

Hello,
I have BitFury BF1 using it in windows/bfgminer with lufa-lib.org driver and runs well.
Now I'm trying Openwrt/bfgminer, but the device is not detected.
After opkg install bfgminer
I tried:
opkg install kmod-usb-serial-ftdi
opkg install kmod-usb-serial-cp210x
opkg install kmod-usb-serial-pl2303
opkg find bitstream*
opkg install bitstream-ztex-ufm1_15y1
opkg install bitstream-ztex-ufm1_15b1
opkg install bitstream-fpgaminer
but still not detected.
can someone help me?
Thanks

Thanks Guys
Sorry I should of mentioned that I am running Bfgminer on my Windows 7 PC.
Thanks for the windows inf's
I have tried them and install the driver for the red fury usb miner but It still giving me around 10% h/w errors and its description still is BPM.
Is this okay?

You should install the latest version of cgminer or bfgminer. Not the ones in this thread they're outdated. The error rate is from the bitfury chip itself and the deficiencies in the design. It isn't something that can be fixed.

How goes your miners people... nice to hear if they are still hashing hard?
I bought 4 on eBay a couple of weeks ago. Together, they never quite get to 10GH/s but they do get close.
If I restart BFGMiner, I always have to fiddle around with them to get them working again. Usually just pulling them out of the hub and swapping them around gets them hashing again. Hopefully the driver and BFGMiner will mature a bit.
Windows and BFGMiner ONLY. I refuse to use CGMiner unless it's already embedded in my device.

Anyone have a working Windows driver yet?
I tried the VM/Ubuntu method and even installed a homemade driver someone sent me. And one of those things destroyed my main computer. I keep getting the BSoD and I can't even recover Windows 7. Trying a fresh install of Windows 8 now.

Windows drivers and compiled version from the ee are freshly uploaded.

Hello
I wonder If anyone can help
I have one of these USB miners
I run it with software BFGMiner 4.4.0
I get 10% Hardware Errors - is this normal?
Also When it Runs in BFGMiner it appears as BPM Is this right Have I got the correct driver installed? Should it not be BF1
Does anyone have a collection of windows inf drivers for the USB Miners
Thanks

I found a setup video for red fury miners on youtube that helped me out when I first got them.

can the osc6 bits on these be tuned? just curious cuz ive got mine running off a 1.2A charging port on a drink 7port hub on a pi
Yes, via RPC right now. EDIT: Sorry, I confused this with another device.all good. i knew you had it working for the nanofury. and found it in the source. but i couldnt find similar for bpmc

The windows version has problems. I would recommend either install Ubuntu vm or use cgminer.
I have no outstanding bug reports for this... only on Mac. October 11, 2013, 02:41:40 AM
