I'm way behind on the learning curve on these, but... I a few of these boards that I'm in the process of getting setup. I'm attempting to launch four from the same cgminer instance, but am having syntax problems with my command line and naming the units.

Example:
Code:
--hfa-name left,midleft --hfa-options left:420@780,midleft:437@770
Launches both devices, but names one mid,left and the second left. The name discrepancy does not pass the commanded core and voltage settings.

Searching, I found:
--hfa-name     Set a unique name for a single hashfast device specified with --usb or the first device found

I'd like to get these to constantly have the same physical habanero be device X at restart withe the same name, core, and voltage settings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

--hfa-name sets the name for _one_ unless you seperate them with --usb. Since you only have four it's probably easiest to connect one by one and start cgminer four times each time with a different name.

In restarting the devices, does that assure DeviceX is always USB0 set at say 550@800? What is the syntax for the command line? Gathering from Mr.Teal's comment as well, run name device once (saves to flash), run as numbered. Does the flash memory store through a power outage?

I'm running two boards per PSU. One is a 750 and the other is a 1200. I'd like to run three of the devices at 550 with the appropriate voltage (variance) for each board and the last board (1200w PSU) at a higher setting. I'd like to guarantee the one at the higher setting is indeed the same board each time as not to nuke the 750w PSU and / or start a small fire.
Yeah, it survives a power cycle. Just plug one in at a time and run hfa-name, then after that you can use left, right and middle. It's a better way of doing it, as if you plug in the devices in a different order and the USB numbers get swapped, it still sets the properly.
