I couldn't get my x6500 working with BFGminer Undecided

Tried posting here but seems that no one had any info/help.
Luke mentioned trying a different usb driver. Still didn't help me. Seems BFGMiner will occasionally start communicating with my x6500, but gets thru a bit of programming the firmware and then BFGMiner crashes. Sometimes it gets thru programming it 100%, then it crashes.
Lots of times it will fail on a JTAG detect. I think the JTAG detect code needs some work.

I've been told the x6500 support is still new? So not too much help abounds there.

Hmm... interesting. I've never had an issue getting it to clock up to 210mhz. The u is usually around 816-817mhash though.

Well, I let it get rather hot here too; usually at least 80 F.

Yeah I did. It's still hashing at 840mhash, my U is at about 11.4/min It was in that area before, too.

Maybe it only works up to a point. I've never seen 840 Mh/s myself.

After running 2.9.2 for a little over 2 days, I haven't noticed any hashing improvement with my MMQ.

Did you reprogram it? You need to either power cycle the MMQ (to clear the programming) or use --force-dev-init

NEW VERSION 2.9.2, NOVEMBER 7 2012

I've also bumped the stable release to 2.8.5 including the fixes relevant to the 2.8.x versions.

Human readable changelog:

~~modminer &~~ x6500: New bitstream, improving functional performance by about 10 Mh/s on average. You'll need to power cycle your device, or use the new --force-dev-init option to upload the new bitstream. (thanks wizkid057!)
x6500: Support for temperature sensors, including --temp-target & co.
x6500: Extended per-FPGA details in RPC API.
x6500: Support for older X6500 devices by manually specifying their serial numbers as --scan-serial x6500:serialnumber.
Some basic stratum transparency checks to help keep pools accountable using new mining.get_transactions method.

Full changelog

Add endian swap defines for where missing.
Only retarget stratum shares to new pool diff if diff has dropped.
Bugfix: x6500: Use json_object_set_new to correctly count references to per-FPGA RPC data
Bugfix: modminer: Use json_object_set_new to correctly count references to per-FPGA RPC data
Bugfix: Only append newline when printing protocol data
Bugfix: Use memchr to look for newlines in socket line data, since the buffer isn't null terminated
Bugfix: Ensure GETWORK_MODE_GBT isn't replaced with GETWORK_MODE_POOL
Count lost stratum share submits and increase message priority to warning.
Show which pool untracked share messages have come from.
Sleep 5 seconds before retrying submit.
Changes to build prototypes to support building on FreeBSD 9.1-RC2 amd64
Count lost shares with stratum as submit stale lost.
Discard record of stratum shares sent and report lost shares on disconnection since they will never be reported back.
Check that count of transactions received via stratum is reasonable
Use realloc'd data_buffer to support stratum lines longer than 8 KB, and parse stratum responses during auth
Use mining.get_transactions to check for stratum pool transparency (actual response ignored for now)
ztex: Silence false "unexpected" hardware errors, and don't count them as hw errors
README: Update build instructions to reflect current reality
x6500: Expose per-FPGA details to RPC API
x6500: Implement support for --temp-target
x6500: Increase default clock frequency to 200 Mhz, now that new bitstream seems to run well around that
x6500: Flush nonces in FPGA buffer at initialization to avoid false hw errors on restart
x6500: Release device lock sooner during initialization, before logging initial frequency info
x6500: Read temperature sensors after sending work, when enabled
Bugfix: jtag: Fix optimized register reading code (it was reading an extra bit before the last, corrupting outside the buffer)
Implement new --force-dev-init option to force bitstream upload to modminer and x6500 devices
Bugfix: x6500: Include --scan-serial option even for x6500-only builds
Bugfix: ztex: Include --scan-serial option even for ztex-only builds, so it can be used to disable autodetect if needed
FPGA-README: Discuss X6500 --scan-serial usage of cases where it may be needed
ft232r: If we are searching for a specific serial, pay no attention to the product id
x6500: Try a more flexible approach to applying dynclock logic
Bugfix: dynclock: Use standard C struct initializer to handle initialization, instead of memsetting memory to nulls
x6500: Whenever we get a hardware error, purge buffers just in case of read/write desync
Bugfix: x6500: When purging ft232r buffers (during bitstream upload), also clear JTAG delayed read counter to avoid any potential desync
Bugfix: ft232r: Always flush writes before purging buffers, and empty local read buffer when flushing ftdi read buffer
There is no need for addrinfo any more.
Fix filename for x6500 bitstream to match previous commit's rename
Rename x6500 bitstream to match existing licensing naming setup
x6500 dual temp sensor support
x6500 is far more stable with its own bitstream

I should have the newest build as I update / upgrade / dist-upgrade on a regular basis.

I thought the USB problem was hardware, not fixable with firmware, and was address on the new 512 MB memory RPi?

2.9.1 Mining nicely on a Raspberry Pi, however I do get Comm Error disconnects randomly with 4x BFL Singles. Google search lead me to the issue board, and post discussing that this is due to the usb problems on the raspberry pi. I have a 512 MB RPi on order to see if the new reversion fixes the issue.

As I understand it, there's a way to upgrade the firmware on old revisions too.

Google search lead me to the issue board, and post discussing that this is due to the usb problems on the raspberry pi. I have a 512 MB RPi on order to see if the new reversion fixes the issue.

As I understand it, there's a way to upgrade the firmware on old revisions too.
