Im getting this after doing all the steps?
Maybe add to the steps how to create the file.
pico bfgminer.conf
Then the config

I'm not using a pi for this.
cgminer works but the performance isn't fantastic and it's unstable.
So wanted to try BFGminer...
In cgminer I have GSD 0, 1 and 2.
I have them connected to a USB hub and only GSD 0 comes up in BFGminer.
To get them all to run in cgminer I have to manully point it in "the right direction".
Is there a similar option in BFGminer perhaps?

bfgminer uses -S gridseed:all
what kind of hub are you using?

have you rebooted the pi?
Also how do you have them connected?
Also how do you have them connected?
Ok just installed BFGminer it runs pretty good but it only detects one device?
I want to mine scrypt and sha-256 at pool https://www.megamultipool.com/pools.php by using Gridseed:
stratum+tcp://east-us.megamultipool.com:3354
stratum+tcp://east-us.megamultipool.com:5000
So, how I configure Raspberry Pi? Any help please...!

well follow whats up top and put in your pool into the bfgminer.conf

What does make Raspian the best forum? What's the plus?
Thanks for the tips. Will try the instructions when my gridseed arrive.
i like raspbian
My point is: are you using Scripta, Raspbian, Pidora, RaspBMC, OpenELEC, RSIC OS, Arch, or something else.
What's the best from your point of view to use to mine?
well i have been mining on mine since sunday with no issues so far.
is bfgminer stable with the 5 chip gridseeds yet? I have yet to find something as stable as running individual cpuminer threads.
raspbian..

You dont have to use SSH but if you want to you can.
and also you can use screen
and also you can use screen
For the new Rasp Pi newbies, you may want to add the step one of loading the OS onto the Pi, and ssh into the Pi.
I got pointed to this.
Look at main OP.

a nice and easy guide.
I will just stick this here for quick reference for people to get there gridseed miners up and going quick.
Ok, so first things first, disclaimer, I'm not a Linux guy, so please forgive me if I'm making a dumb mistake here. I've also never used bgfminer so I've got that working against me as well.
Thanks to everyone who helped me figure this out...here's a revised version of how to compile bfgminer for a RasPi...
------------------------------------------------
Steps I took to build BFGMiner from source:
------------------------------------------------
//update my RasPi first
//saw this on the linux build instructions, so I presume I need these as pre-requisites to compiling bfgminer
//cloned nwoolls version of bfgminer which has beta support for the miners in question
//build it
//make the bfgminer.conf file.
//trying to run it
