I've just created a kncminer branch on my github and have imported their most current code and built my first binary for this. It is not a full firmware and the only thing users may note is the hashrate won't lie with this one, as it won't count hardware errors as hashrate. Also my hardware error count is significantly lower with this on the Saturn dev machine I was sent.

Here's a direct link to the binary:
http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/kncminer/cgminer

You'll have to ssh into the kncminer and copy and use that file directly. Hopefully the libraries all match between my dev environment and the default kncminer operating system which means the binary should just work if you run it like on any other OS.

Any guidance for those of us who like to compile our own software on building for ARM?  Are you building on-device or cross compiling on your x86?  I've not built your project before, but I see you've got the kncminer branch in github.  Thanks!

those are instructions to compile bfgminer from source:

basically it explains how to add a few repos from which download pre-compiled stuff (library/tools/dev pakg etc etc), hopefully it could help to build cgminer using directly your miner without the need to cross compile.
