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
Code:
sudo apt-get update

//saw this on the linux build instructions, so I presume I need these as pre-requisites to compiling bfgminer
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl4-gnutls-dev 

sudo apt-get install libjansson-dev uthash-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libevent-dev

//cloned nwoolls version of bfgminer which has beta support for the miners in question
Code:
git clone -b feature/gridseed-support https://github.com/nwoolls/bfgminer

//build it
Code:
cd bfgminer

./autogen.sh

./configure CFLAGS="-O3" --enable-scrypt --enable-gridseed

make

sudo make install

sudo ldconfig

//trying to run it
Code:
sudo ./bfgminer -S gridseed:all --set-device gridseed:clock=850 --failover-only --scrypt -c bfgminer.conf

Here's what my bfgminer.conf looks like for reference:
Code:
{
"pools" : [
        {
                "name" : "GHashIO-1",
                "url" : "stratum+tcp://ltc.ghash.io:3333",
                "user" : "worldly.2",
                "pass" : "x",
                "pool-priority" : "0"
        }
],
"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1,192.168.1/24",
"api-listen" : true
}

Use this
Code:
git clone -b feature/gridseed-support https://github.com/nwoolls/bfgminer
Instead of
Code:
git clone https://github.com/nwoolls/bfgminer.git
to include Gridseed support

Ok, tried it again with the revised git clone command you provided.

I then used the following command to configure it, and it now does list gridseed in there! Smiley  It's currently compiling now...I'll post again after its done and I've retried running bfgminer.

Code:
./configure CFLAGS="-O3" --enable-scrypt --enable-gridseed

Output from the configure command:
Code:

Mining since May 2011.
is there an authoritative source somewhere to show exactly how to install this on ubuntu/pi for gridseed/lts mining?

^^^^^ That i am wondering as well..

for ubuntu, you can follow this guide (building from source) :

http://minecoin.net/how-to-use-the-miner/

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. 

Here's what I did to try and build bfgminer on my RasPi to try and run my 5-chip Gridseed miners.  Only problem is that when I start it, bfgminer says no devices found.  Clearly I've screwed the pooch somewhere.  Any help is appreciated.

------------------------------------------------
Steps I took to build BFGMiner from source:
------------------------------------------------

//update my RasPi first
Code:
sudo apt-get update

//saw this on the linux build instructions, so I presume I need these as pre-requisites to compiling bfgminer

sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl4-gnutls-dev 
sudo apt-get install libjansson-dev uthash-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libevent-dev

//cloned nwoolls version of bfgminer which has beta support for the miners in question
Code:
git clone https://github.com/nwoolls/bfgminer.git

//build it
Code:
cd bfgminer
./autogen.sh
//Found the flags option in a different set of build instructions but presumed we needed it here as well
./configure CFLAGS="-O3" --enable-scrypt --enable-gridseed
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
After it finished this step:
Code:
./configure CFLAGS="-O3" --enable-scrypt --enable-gridseed
In the output, did you see "gridseed" listed in the options enabled or in the list of drivers?

Has anyone been running their GridSeed Farm 24/7 stably WITHOUT ANY INTERVENTION WHATSOEVER?

IF so, please tell me what your configuration is so WE can all set these things and not have to worry about this elusive little bug!!!?Huh

Has anyone come up with a macro to take care of detecting the hault then restarting each miner in cpuminer?

Are you using CPUMiner or BFGMiner? I use the current BFGMiner pre-release with GridSeed support running for days without issue (on Windows).

 """""cpuminer""""" it's in my post..

so what? What hardware are you using? Are you using direct USB to PC or USB via controller?
anyway....

jeez man calm down... a few points here...

1. Your'e posting in the BFGMiner thread about CPUMiner... shouldn't expect help, but people here are trying to help you anyway.
2. You're being pretty rude to nwoolls who's the guy who coded Gridseed support in BFGMiner.  If anyone can help you, he can... show some respect and maybe he can help.
3. Why don't you try the BFGMiner version with Gridseed support that nwoolls made... it could help you with your stability issues and get rid of some of your obvious stress.
4. How about get a beer, calm down, and then try writing a post that doesn't bite every hand that tries to help you.

non-sequitur gibberish!

BFGMiner with Gridseed support is pretty stable for me, why not use it instead of CPUMiner, and stop making a fool of yourself... ?

Does Multiminer already uses the gridseed compatible ... bfgminer?

EDIT: just saa it is implemented only in v2.8.1... Official support for 1-chip and 5-chip GridSeed ASICs (requires BFGMiner 4.0)

My 6 GS5's ran for 30+ hours this time before they stopped mining.

After chasing up this problem and trying to solve it over the last few weeks, I've tried virtually everything short of re-programing the firmware on my miners, which I cannot do - obviously.

Darn it!!!! Right after I went to sleep, it takes a piss! AAarrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!

I wonder if GridSeed engineers left this but in their miners' firmware?

All I need is for it to monitor the window of each miner and when it stops producing yay's for say, 3 or so minutes, it stops the program without closing the window, resets the port, then restarts each miner 5 seconds apart.

Thanks

I have bfgminer installed and working on raspbian (I used it some days ago with some antminer). Is it possible to simply add gridseed support?

I may have found a bug... but no matter what pool i point this too the reported diff is 0. Is that the way it was suppose to be ?

It's like that for all Scrypt mining in BFGMiner AFAIK - something I need to talk to Luke about.

I admire your work, N.
I am looking for a dual mining solution with the PI and 5-chip Gridseeds. Any chance you and Luke will work in that direction?

hi there!  I'm studying Python and R and trying to pay for food and tuition.  Is there a thread to get started with mining, I have an AMD X2 5000 with an older NVIDIA Gforce.  I downloaded the cgminer, there seem to be programs that are more efficient.  I think the Radeon 7970 may be the fastest hasher out there
cpu mining doesn't really generate much these days BTC , try scrypt mining

Hi guys...

Are you going to be supporting nscrypt anytime soon?  Saw a coin launch today that requires it:  "tenfive" (aka 10-5).
