Hello!
Sorry about the wrong forum but this is my first post. Any help is appreciated!
I got a raspberry pi kit to set up a bitcoin miner from this tutorial http://learn.adafruit.com/piminer-raspberry-pi-bitcoin-miner/initial-setup-and-assembly.
The tutorial was great (I didn't get a chance to solder the screen yet though) and I was able to install everything I needed. I found another Rasp Pi tutorial to install bfgminer and that's running with no issues.
What's wrong you might ask? The NanoFury NF1 USB miners are not recognized. I've checked out this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=394424.20 and it seems that I have little chance of getting the miners recognized using a RaspPi.
When I type lsusb before plugging in the USB miner, I get the following:
CODE: SELECT ALL
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9512 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1a40:0201 Terminus Technology Inc. FE 2.1 7-port Hub
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter
After it's the same list plus the last entry:
CODE: SELECT ALL
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9512 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1a40:0201 Terminus Technology Inc. FE 2.1 7-port Hub
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 04d8:00de Microchip Technology, Inc.
Using dmesg - here's the difference before plugging in the USB miner and after plugging it in.
CODE: SELECT ALL

If I go to /dev/, there's no entry for /dev/ttyUSB*.
Any thoughts on what to do? I've tried different 'solutions':
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=365693.new
I tried to reduce the speed of the usb port and that made my keyboard cause the pi to not be able to boot up.
Thank you for any ideas.
perogi.
