I have a distant memory from last year, that they have a problem with rPi

It may have been in the BFGminer thread

(Thread resurrection)

Hi everyone.
Wow after all this time I still can't get these white Icefury (Ice Fury, NanoFury, Nano Fury, whatever they should be labeled as, it's all still the same) USB blocks to work with the Raspberry Pi & no word here.  Trying it with a separate Rosewil USB 2.0 35 watt powered hub plugged into the Raspberry Pi Model B with the newest BETA (STABLE) of Minepeon v2.4.6 & nada, squat, zilch.  Under Windows v7 with Multiminer, it's all great but I'd rather not do it this way.

The default config line in Minepeon's Miner Startup Settings reads as follows:
#!/bin/bash
sleep 10
/usr/bin/screen -dmS miner /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer -S all -c /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf


Modified the config to:
/usr/bin/screen -dmS miner /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer -S "NFY:all" --set-device NFY:osc6_bits=54 -c /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf.

Still nothing.

Shelling into the Minepeon server & executing the "lsusb -v" command displays the following:

PS: I don't care at this point whether it BFGminer or CGminer is used. As long as one of them could work.
PPS: Both of these apps in a Windows CMD box work flawlessly with the Icefuries.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

it works  ! i replace my existing usb hub with a brand a new one with high capacity....

thank you very much... 

Follow these steps:

1. plug the power into your hub.
2. plug the usb cable from your hub into your computer and let Windows detect it.
3. plug each miner into the hub one at a time letting windows detect each one and install the HID driver for it (This is a Windows 7/8.x driver)
4. start your bfgminer with the command found in this forum and start mining away.

One thing to note you need a good decent power supply with your hub, a if you are using a USB 10 port 2.0 hub I found that a 4A (amp) power supply will drive 5 ice fury's comfortably OC'd at 54, anything less than 4A (amps) for 5 ice fury's will result in either them not being recognized or you have them constantly failing.

The ice fury doesn't need any drivers to work with bfgminer.

hi everybody !  is there other way or solution you encounter on how ice fury work with bfgminer under windows 7 professional 64bit. i tried everything in the forums and other site yet still no luck. every time i install the bf1 or drivers theres always an error, it took me over night just to make this work, then here is zidag installer that recognized it Nano Fury NF1 v0.7, well better than nothing i use cgminer v3.12.0 that gives an average 1.8gh/s. i still want to make it work with bfgminer please share some experience thank you.

Ok. Thanks. Now to figure out why the author of Multiminer hasn't been able to tell me why they aren't being picked up by his BFGminer GUI.  BFGminer can see them using & is currently using them via the Windows CMD prompt.   Hmmm.

They're fully supported on cgminer. As always, use latest version.

Any updates on this?

Hi GQM.  Thanks for the info.

I just did the calcs from the CAD to USD pricing.  I can wait it out.

PS: SSINC is the company I got them from & it was a great deal.  I'm hoping they get them back in sooner better than later.

I'll wait to see if the BITFURY drop as well.

P.S. I'm working to reduce prices but haven't finalized any details just yet.

Also keep in mind price is set in CAD which when converted to USD isn't as much of a markup.

I'm still selling them on my website for anyone that is not located in Canada. If your shipping option doesn't come up then please contact me and I will help get you an accurate shipping quote.

Thanks smoothrunnings for looking out.  
I've I noticed these are at $110.00 markup. :O
Now I'm really kicking myself for not getting more on my initial purchase.  Who knew. I was just starting out 45 days ago.
Thanks again.

So are these Ice Furies still being made? Seems like either no one is carrying them anymore & are out of stock at the same time or that's it for these.  No one can get them to stock 'em?  I have 3 of them & wished I had purchased more a month ago.

That's crazy dude.

I have my 5 ice fury's on a vantec 10 port USB 2.0 hub and have upgraded the PSU to a 5VDC 4A and they fine at 54.

I have mind already doing that but find the PSU gets pretty hot at 54, so I am going to see if I find one of these 5v 10A PSU's locally to use on my hub before pushing them up any further.

Not really, a USB port is only speced to supply 2.5w

Wow that's great, you must be storing them in a freezer so that they don't melt!

I'll be honest, I'm half afraid to overclock them... they're running at/above 3GH/s each, with an HW Error % BELOW 1%... I think I'll um... just not even bother with overclocking great job man!
