did you try running the software as a root?

You should post a picture of the hardware. It looks like cgminer is unable to find any USB devices. Is it in fact plugged in via USB?
aside:
It appears to be the BlackArrow Bitfury boards ( I have no direct experience with this hardware. I looked at it but never bought )
If this is in fact the correct board type, BA has an RPi image for these particular boards on their site.

@novak - it looks like a v1 h-boards and m6 custom (does 32 cards instead of the normal 16 cards that the commercial m-boards did) uses a raspberry pi as the mining controller. I have a smaller one that I setup so I have an idea of what to do, its just that its not seeming to work, sudo or not so now I'm stuck.
@daddyfatsax - I know what you mean! I'm using chainminer on my own rig, but he has the older cards so I'm downloading the older image (its on dave's us bitfury support thread) Figured I would try out minepeon because my friend's guy was using it and it seemed like that should still work as well, but if i cannot get the config to work right then I'm forced to have to use chainminer as you say.

I never really had any luck with any other software except chainminer. That was what ran best for me. I have no idea where to grab a copy nowadays.

I'm not familiar with this hardware, how does it connect to the controller? Maybe a hardware pic would help? Without seeing anything it sounds like the controller board is enumerating fine but not finding any chips.

Looks like I got my hands on a peice of the 100TH original mining hardware! (my friend did anyway, good for him) So now I have it and I'm trying to get it running, but it seems like I get this error from CG Miner every time I try to start it up: Minion BlackArrow: failed2 to enable GPIO pin 24 interrup
t (13) - you need to be root?
Anyone have ideas or faced this issue before? I'm running the latest copy of minepeon and have no idea how to fix it.
I tried using Sudo but this is what happens (same result):
