Received 2 of my units today, they are working great on raspberrypi with minepeon Smiley
They working just out of the box? You do not need anything to upgrade? Can you explain more please:)

1. plug the miner into a powered usb hub
2. configure pools on the web interface of minepeon.
3. modify   /usr/lib/systemd/system/bfgminer.service add this to start options "--icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S /dev/ttyUSB0 -S /dev/ttyUSB1" (this is for 2 devices)
4.reload systemctl : systemctl daemon-reload
5.start bfgminer : systemctl start bfgminer
6.maybe cgminer was started automaticaly, stop it : systemctl stop cgminer.service



I was having trouble getting my pi to run.  I tried all the editing, demon reloading and everything, no dice.

I noticed there was a new version of MinePeon dated 7/6/13, so I re-wrote my SD card with it.  It worked straight away with no editing, just the pool addresses.  I assume it is running cgminer as it says it is loaded in the scrolling startup text.

http://mineforeman.com/minepeon/ has the download link for the "Erupter Bob" version.  "Butterfly Bob" didn't work for me.

Do you mind sharing what make/model USB hub you used?
