Currently compiling the Kano fork of cgminer supporting the antS1 on a RPi with archlinux.
It takes hours, but should work since it works when compiled on the S1 control board.

Great work guys...
Here is the test setup.
Getting 45 Gh from a board, but many HW errors
Brilliant!Getting 45 Gh from a board, but many HW errors
1. The errors I think will have to do with the driver in cgminer. Look at setting these values in the initialisation string of cgminer, I got this from the Kernel Log of a running miner:
Code:
--bitmain-options 115200:32:8:15:262.5:0a02 -o stratum+tcp://my.pool.io:3333 -O username:password -o stratum+tcp://my.backup:3333 -O username:password -o stratum+tcp://my.otherbackup.com:9332 -O username:password --api-listen --api-network --bitmain-checkn2diff --bitmain-hwerror --queue 10 --scan-time 1 --expiry 1
EDIT: I think this bit --bitmain-options 115200:32:8:15:262.5:0a02 could be helpful.
EDIT2: That sets the frequency to 262.5 and HEX value to 0a02 - replace accordingly.
2. Do all the chips feel warm to the touch? I have a feeling you are not interfacing with all the chips.
yes, they are all hot/warm, but the default frequency for the U2 is lower than the one on S1.
I'll test your settings and report back
I added a third edit - those values were for an S3 here's the one from an S1 --bitmain-options 115200:32:8:35:400:4f81 and they are from the System Log NOT the Kernel Log
I'd start off with a slow clock: 115200:32:8:90:50:0181, then crank it up after...

On a basic level the S1 uses 64 55nm ASICs split across 2 hashing boards, each capable of ~3Gh/s and using 400-430 watts at that level
The S3 uses 32 28nm ASICs split across 2 boards totaling 450-500Gh/s and using 345-420 watts.
They both use the same controller board. But the S3 uses an adapter board as well

Anybody could compile for windows with --enable-ants1 ?
It's already supported with an autotune function.

Looks like it won't compile at all. But i'll try.It's already supported with an autotune function.

I've connected an old laptop that I used to compile some time ago, I'll try it too.
I've looked at the driver code. It doesn't designed to run on windows. As i can understand. Hope i'm wrong. Still installing debian on vm. so slow
Btw you must change vid and pid in usbutils.c near #ifdef USE_ANT_S1 to match your usb bridge.This is more or less correct. If you take a look at driver-bitmain.c and .h files you will see
Code:
#ifdef LINUX
I may as well throw in, I'm working on 2 protos similar to what jabberwock has done, but both my USB dongle design and a small USB hub design use the PIC uC that the original controller uses. going this route has allowed me the ability of setting up shop for helping Luke-JR with S1/S3 support in a less brickable environment. See this to see what I mean. All I did was try and determine a couple of OS variables and dependency structures and I bricked a controller( temporarily)
As i said earlier - driver not designed to run on windows. I can confirm that latest cgminer won't build for windows. We need another driver. I can't do more , sorry about that
I get same error:
cgminer-cgminer.o:cgminer.c:(.data+0x278): undefined reference to `opt_bitmain_auto'

What about having Luke-Jr help out? I think he wrote or supports BFGMiner.

Talk to Kano, AFAIK he's done more custom work with the ants1/ants2 code than anyone outside of bitmain e.g. https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries/tree/master/AntS1.
He told me one time that without the serial->spi code (the source for which has never been made public) he was quite limited in what he could do.
I can't do more on the software side for now, but I ordered a few parts to make a prototype board able to handle up to 6 antminer hashing boards.
compile fails with errors on "undefined reference to opt_bitmain_auto" and overheat, fan, freq, hwerror and temp.

Try this cgminer. https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1/blob/master/cgminer/cgminer-run-windows-20140324.zip
I already tried it. Not better. I have to lower timeout to 2 to get a proper hashrate, and high HW error count
I still can't run it 
Tried 2 cp2102 and one ftdi bridges. No luck. Try this cgminer. https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1/blob/master/cgminer/cgminer-run-windows-20140324.zip
