3 days solid mining here on the BBB with hidapi on Debian.  Mining like a champ with two IceFurys, and two Jalapenos.  

The BBB is defiantly the best of the ARM platforms, there are still issues though but I am slowly working through them.

Next release of MinePeon will be available for the BBB in addition to the CubeBoard2.

I'm looking forward to it - I would nearly buy another BBB, but they're terribly difficult to find in stock anywhere in the UK or EU.  The Pi is dead on as a little network device, but it really does fill it's pants when asked to do a lot of USB stuff, especially considering the NIC also hangs off the USB bus.   Looks like I'll be running a pair of MinePeons - the RPi for proxy service, and the BBB for the USB miners, as I am now with Minepeon on the Pi and Debian on the BBB.  Heck, the BBB even works with the Anker 10-port USB3 hub!

Only real complaint about the BBB is the lights - they're OMG bright!  Cool
