Mineforeman made an update to Minepeon 0.2.4.3
Now Nanofury is supported without hidapi.

Still need the USB1 workaround:
sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
then add dwc_otg.speed=1 at the end of line

It's working like a charm in Minepeon now

There's a patch for cgminer listed in the main 'Nanofury Project - Open Source Design' Topic.

Tested on a linux miner, I haven't tested it under raspian.

I'm seeing considerably higher performance and no more 'Frequency Drop' messages.

At least I get ~2.3 GH/s out of the Nanofury.

I'm using bfgminer 3.8.0 (latest git version) and all you have to do (after compiling) is to enforce the USB 2.0 low speed mode to make the USB communication stable. Note: this will also limit the network speed of your Raspi!

The slowdown can be achieved by putting dwc_otg.speed=1 into /boot/cmdline.txt. Note: all statements need to be at one line.

Hello,

could anyone sent me a kind of tutorial how to get the nanofury working on rasberry pi? I dont know much about linux.

Raspian ist still installed, and networkspeed ist reduced like in your messages. But which bfgminer version should I install (link?). What do you mean with "after comiling"

are there any other settings do do? ... I tryed lots of versions but nothing works... A small tutorial would save my next 5 evenings Cheesy

Greetings from Germany

First you need to install needed library

Code:

1. sudo aptitude update
2. sudo aptitude install libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libfox-1.6-dev autotools-dev autoconf automake libtool libncurses-dev yasm curl libcurl4-openssl-dev libjansson-dev pkg-config uthash-dev make pkg-config yasm

Second download HIDAPI from git

Code:

1. git clone git://github.com/signal11/hidapi.git hidapi
2. cd hidapi
3. ./bootstrap
4. ./configure --prefix=/usr
5. make
6. sudo make install

Third download bfgminer to some directory(in this example is "miner")

Code:

1. mkdir miner
2. cd miner
3. wget http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bfgminer/3.8.1/bfgminer-3.8.1.tbz2
4. tar xvf bfgminer-3.8.1.tbz2
5. cd bfgminer-3.8.1
6. ./configure
7. make

You can enable or disable some miner while run ./configure bfgminer with this options
Example: ./configure --enable-bfsb --disable-bitforce

Code:

--disable-avalon Compile support for Avalon (default enabled)
--enable-cpumining Build with cpu mining support(default disabled)
--enable-opencl Compile support for OpenCL (default disabled)
--disable-adl Build without ADL monitoring (default enabled)
--disable-bitfury Compile support for Bitfury (default enabled)
--enable-bfsb Compile support for BFSB (default disabled)
--disable-bigpic Compile support for Big Picture Mining USB (default enabled)
--disable-littlefury Compile support for LittleFury (default enabled)
--disable-nanofury Compile support for NanoFury (default enabled)
--disable-hashbuster Compile support for HashBuster Nano (default enabled)
--disable-hashbuster2 Compile support for HashBuster Micro (default if libusb)
--enable-metabank Compile support for Metabank (default disabled)
--disable-bitforce Compile support for BitForce (default enabled)
--disable-icarus Compile support for Icarus (default enabled)
--disable-klondike Compile support for Klondike (default enabled)
--enable-knc Compile support for KnC (default disabled)
--disable-modminer Compile support for ModMiner (default enabled)
--disable-x6500 Compile support for X6500 (default enabled)
--disable-ztex Compile support for ZTEX (default if libusb)
--enable-scrypt Compile support for scrypt mining (default disabled)
--with-system-libblkmaker Use system libblkmaker rather than bundled one (default disabled)
--without-sensors Build with libsensors monitoring (default enabled)
--without-curses Compile support for curses TUI (default enabled)
--without-libmicrohttpd Compile support for libmicrohttpd getwork server (default enabled)
--without-libevent Compile support for libevent stratum server (default enabled)
--without-libusb Compile using libusb (default enabled)
--without-libudev Autodetect FPGAs using libudev (default enabled)

Then change usb speed to usb 1 with text editor nano

Code:

1. sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
then add dwc_otg.speed=1 at the end of line

To run bfgminer just go to the directory

Code:

1. cd miner
2. cd bfgminer-3.8.1
3. sudo ./bfgminer

That was the summary i colected from other thread since i am also linux noob Grin

Good job! never occurred to me to try setting low speed mode.

Unfortunately, I sold mine off so can't test it out

Same problem.

detecting them but not assigning a device (i.e. /dev/ttyUSB0 for erupters, /dev/ttyACM0 for blue fury)

What device should they appear as?

/dev/ttyNFY0

do you really see that device in the /dev directory?

I'm thinking it's /dev/hidraw0 but I'm unclear.

Anyone else having luck?

Edit:

If it is hidraw* they are created upon boot with owners root:root instead of root:dialout and 600 permissions with no T sticky bit set.

Even manually changing those things makes no difference to bfgminer

I noticed that when I connect Nanofury to Raspberry running Minepeon I see Microchip Technology Inc. in a list by lsusb command. So I think Nanofury is detected, but it is not working. How do I specify options to make it work?

I now installed Minepeon and still Nanofury doesn't work.
