BFGMINER 5.4.2 Instructions I have built a native bfgminer driver binaries with support all major systems and architectures. Please follow the GitHub release link below, which has binaries for each system attached.
bfgminer download:
https://github.com/jstefanop/bfgminer/releases/tag/bfgminer-5.4.2-futurebit2-beta2You will also need to install the latest version of Silicon Labs VPC drivers for Win/Mac OS link below. If you downloaded this driver below, make sure you update to the latest version, as the Moonlander 2 uses a new UART chip and the old driver will not work will with it.
UART VPC Driver: https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-driversMAC OS 10.13 HIGH SIERRA USERS: Sililabs drivers will NOT work with the newest version of OS X, and you cannot run the stick with this version until Sililabs provides a driver update! EDIT: Workaround here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2420357.msg25153407#msg25153407Once you have installed the drivers and extracted bfgminer binary for your system just plug in the miner to a USB port and double click on the Start_Moonlander2 file on your Mac/PC. The driver will auto-detect the board and start hashing at the default frequency (for linux you need to execute the .sh file in terminal with sudo command i.e. sudo start_moonlander2.sh).
Just edit that same file with a text editor to change pools, add bfgminer options, and change frequency. You can also use the -c flag and load it with your own config file.

Hello Jstefanop,
I need to run my Moonlanders by a live 32bit Linux running on an old Pentium III based PC, yes, very old.
This old PC has not a HD, it boots from a memory stick. It is a live distribution but it is persistent so I can install software and it will be saved as it was with an HD.
CGminer for other ASICs (Gridseed) worked very well but here I see there is not a 32 bit BFGminer 5.4.2
How can I set it up?
Should I compile it from source files?
I only pre-compile 32bit version for windows. Linux you would have to do a native compile on your system. Its very easy for linux, and you can actually use that install scrypt posted above by one of the community members. Its designed for Pi's, but should work fine for your linux system as well.
