Also if you are looking for detailed Raspberry Pi instructions I have a set on this page of this thread
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.50968875.
I may do a video at some point. Since the Raspberry Pi 4 has now been released, I'm curious if the newer enhancements resolved some of the issues some of us ran into when running R606's on them. Also I haven't updated those instructions yet, but if you wanted to run both newpac and R606 on the Pi, the Future Technology Devices International that you will see in my instructions for the newpacs are the same for the R606. The only difference is when you do the lsusb command, the newpacs will always be on Bus 1 the R606 for me have been on Bus 4. So for the --usb in the actual script you would then add the R606's as 4:1. 4:2 (or whatever the device # is for them) etc. And if running together then add --gekko-r606-freq 550 (or whatever freq you are running at).
** Edit**
The raspberry pi instructions has now been updated. And of course today since I haven't tested the 3 b+ since the last few updates from vh, decided to try today. And potential record a vid on it to help others. And this happens:

The pi has to prove me wrong about the Bus #'s
So if this happens, basically good luck figuring out which is newpac and which is the r606 lol. Will have to test them one at a time with a script to determine what's what.
Ok, retested the Raspberry Pi 3 b+ with all latest software and updates on the Pi. It runs stable, not locking up as I ran into before. However the r606's just will not run at 700+ Mhz on the pi. Maybe the new Pi 4 but at least on the 3 b+ and prior models I don't see it happening.
I have a screen shot here:
https://ibb.co/wdHtTbqI had them set to 725Mhz and it detuned down to 588Mhz running stable. Hashing an average of 745Gh/s per unit. Which is not bad and if you are going to run these at near stock freq / speeds then the Pi would be ideal. However from my experience if you are wanting to take full advantage of overclocking and running at higher speeds then putting this on a dedicated Linux box will be far better. Or another small board computer but with a better processor and at least DDR 3 or better memory, 2GB or better. My pi unit only has 1gb of ram and is DDR 2 memory.
And the newpacs, run perfectly on the pi. They achieved their overclock of 425 and hold stable.
