very true, but this seems to be a poor implementation of the hub - and does not have its roots on the pi being picky.

I see that you are picky Wink

Even with hubs that do not backfeed, some don't work flawlessly with the raspi while they do with notebooks or odroid-u2s or cubieboards. I agree in that it is most probably due to an implementation in the hub that is not 100% according to what the USB specs say, but that is the definition of being picky.

Be aware that the raspi is picky with usb devices. Buy according to this guide: http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals#Working_USB_Hubs

This AFAIR is only important if you want to run the pi on that hub or the hub has no psu by itself - so it does not matter when you already powered your pi and just extend it with a external-psu powered hub for running the ASICs .

According to this page there are hubs that do funny stuff, such as:

Belkin

7-Port Powered Mobile Hub - device labelled F4U018, packaging labelled F5U701. lsusb reveals it to be two Genesys Logic 4-port hubs based on the GL850G chipset (vendor: 0x05e3 product: 0x0608) ganged together. Yields a lot of "handle_hc_chhltd_intr_dma:: XactErr without NYET/NAK/ACK" errors and device resets in /var/log/messages. Low speed devices such as keyboards work OK, Wi-Fi/mass storage is unreliable or broken. -- No error messages with the latest kernel, but it is still unstable with mass storage devices. Also, leaks current back to the Raspberry Pi (can be fixed by overtaping GND and +5 V pinouts)
F4U022 7-Port powered USB hub (powered 5 V, 2.6 A), same as F4U018
7-Port Powered Hub - device labled F5U237 Rev.3 - ID 050d:0237 Wired Ethernet fails to connect; gives "DWC OTG HCD URB enqueue failed adding QTD. Error status -4008" Result is same as DUB-H7 below.
F5U404 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Mobile Hub. Faulty/bad design; Leaks current back up the cable to the Raspberry Pi.
F5U307 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 7-Port Hub (Powered, able to apply power to Raspberry Pi via micro USB from this hub at same time) It work's sometimes. (Works always without powering the Raspberry Pi, haven't tried that)

So it's something to consider carefully. Specially the backfeed thingie.

@wo0x: looks good, thanks!

I have made good experiences with http://www.logilink.eu/showproduct/UA0095.htm connection my RPi to 3 wireless devices. It ships with 3.5A power supply, for example via amzn.

I was waiting for an A20 cubieboard but it's not gonna happen in the next days so raspi it is.

Good morning World!

I smell fresh coffee and USB Gizmos... I'm feeling lucky...

Regarding CumpsD offer, if the offer is extended to me and as I'm so bad in Linux, I would love to get he's RPI image, as one of my 3 RPI's is also a v2 512 MBytes.

For Raspberry Pi users, Mineforeman.com is working on the software MinePeon (http://mineforeman.com/2013/05/26/minepeon-beta-1-code-name-butterfly-bob-released/). Beta 1, out 2 days ago, would detect and use our USB Gizmos, but it's untested yet as they don't have any USB Asic Miner and are still waiting for it.

I had problems with this version, as I can't access the stats page. I already discussed this with them and they are trying to bypass the problem. Previous alpha versions don't have support to this kind of Gizmos.

cgminer doesn't want to recognize the USB sticks, but the included version of bfgminer works just fine for now.

FYI, the oft-discussed anker hub (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NGQWL2/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) works fine with 10 devices.

cool

I have also several lying around.
But no time for it ..... Cry

Is it a 512MB version?

If you want I can upload the image of my SD card

...

Actually: http://pastebin.com/2J8BDHRB

You can set it up yourself, maybe takes an hour (mostly the apt-get entire system upgrade :p)

Just pay attention when you ./configure cgminer to enable to stuff you need, and change the pool info in cgminer.conf

ja dhl express spielt international in einer anderen Liga.
Wobei die Frage ist was des von China aus kostet.
Normale post ist in die Richtung spottbillig.

Der normale DHL Kerl war max 1h nach DHL Express hier.
Also von Leipzig aus war es dann keine Express Sendung mehr Wink

EDIT:

shipped out more ASICs today than BFL ever!!! Grin

in your face BFL liars

Quote from: kano

The next release of cgminer will automatically handle it without any options required and it will also handle you being able to just plug it in while cgminer is already running.
You can also start cgminer with no devices and then plug it in and it will start mining with it.

When mine arrive I'll test it with a plain Raspbian Raspberry Pi with just cgminer running on it, compiled from git
