I have an Avalon Nano USB. I wish to use my Odroid U2 running Arch linux to mine. I've got cgminer version 4.9.0 installed (I followed compile instructions here to get it installed). I'm getting the following errors when running it:

Code:
FAIL: USB get_lock not found (1:10)
ICA 0 usb transfer err:(-9) LIBUSB_ERROR_PIPE
FAIL: USB get_lock not found (1:10)
AU3 0 usb transfer err:(-9) LIBUSB_ERROR_PIPE
Write voltage Comms error (werr=-4 amount=0)
AU3 0: Write freq Comms error (werr=-4 amount=0)
AU3 0: Failed to set frequency, too much overclock?

The command I am running is: (pool related info has been truncated)
Code:
./cgminer --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 0.22


I noticed the device is being detected as:
Code:
Bus 1 Device 10 ID: 1fc9:0083 NXP VCOM Port inactive

Can someone please help me? Smiley

I've managed to update the arch system, I was having difficulty with that before. I am still running into the problem of both cgminer and bfgminer not being able to use the device. If anyone could help, it would be very much appreciated.

[another edit, same day]
I've managed to get the device working. It appears the Odroid doesn't supply enough power to the USB to properly power the Avalon Nano. I used a powered usb hub and I am up and mining now.
