Guys!  If you compile cgminer yourself, please be sure you enable the HashFast driver!  NO DRIVERS ARE ENABLED BY DEFAULT!

Here's how:

You should see this afterwards before you compile:

If not, you are missing something, and it likely won't work.

Again, we recommend 3.9.0h2 for best performance for now until new firmware is released.  (soon!)
Here's the source code: http://setup.hashfast.com/cgminer-3.9.0h2.tar.gz
(MD5: fdef15ae73b180deef74bc51df482eb0)

If you use our RPI image as configured, you will have a reliable mining system and will get updates as they are made available.  Here's my personal system mining away: http://setup.hashfast.com/rpi/

Please reload your SD card, that is all that's wrong with your Raspberry Pi.  Note that the monitor will not show anything for about 3-4 minutes when first plugged in, as it must get the current software and install it first.  Then, it will reboot and you should get a display on any HDMI monitor or TV.

Note that you do not need a monitor.  The terminal screen is available from the web interface.

Here's the SD reload instructions: http://hashfast.com/how-to-update-babyjets-raspberry-pi-sd-card-software/

Please go here for setup instructions and to access your Miner's web interface after it updates (3-4 minutes): http://setup.hashfast.com/

Sorry for the trouble, but you should be able to get up and running within about 20 minutes total if you follow these instructions.

Really, there are so many secrets...
I pushed the right button, and all fans started running for about 10-20 seconds and then shutdown. But I still got the same error messages:
tie@rig07:~/cgminer$ ./cgminer -n

If run cgminer directly, got those:

Do I need to initialize the device like I did for my GPU when doing scrypt mining? Thanks again!

Read the fine document called ASIC-README included with cgminer.

Theres 2 buttons on the bottom left portion of the board. You can try pushing the right one. This worked for me and someone else here.

Thank you, sorry, I am really new. By the way do you have any HASHFAST rigs running?

Go back to page 19, click on his name to get his profile, then click on read last posts.

Thank you. Would you please let me know where I can find those posts?

Has anybody took a temp reading of the PI? Inferred thermometer had it at 129 F.  Put a fan on for good luck sake.

Read through HF-Engineer's posts, they've been very helpful.

Thank you for you help minternj. I downloaded 3.12.0 and it looks can see the device, but still gave an error:
[2014-02-04 22:49:28] USB all: found 3 devices - listing known devices

Any idea?

you need at least 3.10.0 - 3.12.0 , or the 3.9.0 hashfast version.

Thank you for the response. I connected BJ to computer, and run cgminer(3.7.2):
export DISPLAY=:0
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
./cgminer -n

cgminer just does not see any USB device.

I understand that the fan connected to the hashing-board could be controlled by cgminer. But there are two case fans(they are directly connected to the power supply) and even the fan inside power supply don't run.
I think here I just don't know how to diagnose if at least the power supply is working.
Can anybody who made your BJ running already tell me please do you see the LED in front panel is on when it's running? Do two case fan fun when turn on the power? Do you need to push the power button in front panel to turn on the machine or just turn on the switch on power supply is enough? Thank you very much!

For cables, I just don't know how many cables should be connected to the board, I can see there are two 6pin PCIE power cables and 1 5pin white power cable, also 1 fan cable, 1 USB cable are connected. I can see the cables from front panel are not connected to any where. Thank you for any help!

Bj was almost at 24 hrs with no incidents. It has stopped now and did not restart like before. simply restarting the Pi the best way to get it back up?

Is one RPI able to handle several BJs via USB?

The fans wont turn on until you have mining software connected. plug it into your pc and run cgminer. Oh and open it up and make sure all the cables are connected. Some have reported some loose cables particularly the ones in the upper left side of the hashing board.

Yeah, I just got my BJ yesterday, I had the same issue. The brand new shipped BJ just does not start up. I have confirmed Raspberry Pi is defective, cause the HDMI has no output to the monitor at all. Do you know how to diagnose the Baby Jet itself? After I plugged in power cord and turned on power switch on the power supply, nothing happened. I can see there is power switch and two LED lights on each side, but they are just dark, do you those two LED light are supposed to be on after the power supply is turned on? Thank you!
