I can get my AMU to mine at ~ 400Mh/s using cgminer. Zadig driver overwrite/installed.
I can't get BFGminer to recognize it. (Windows XP SP3 dual core Dell w 3GB ram)
Running bfgminer -D -d? -T from command prompt shows the device but does not recognize it:

"[2014-01-17 20:09:44] lowlevel_scan: Found vcom device at com:3 (path=\\.\COM3,

Also, how does one get the named configuration file used when starting bfgminer?
Thanks


Bfgminer uses the silabs VCP DRIVERS. Not Zadig. To fix go to device manager with it plugged in right click choose driver settings make sure the checkbox for delete driver is ticked.

DL the island driver. Install it.

Reboot. Bfgminer -d -D? Should list it now

Named config is -c /path/to/file.conf

The asicminer USB sticks aren't software tunable. It uses a FIXED frequency and always yields the same hash rate rated at 12MHz*28 clock multiplier(in ASIC) = 336Mhash/sec. Any variation caused by altering timings with -- icarus-options and --icarus-timing are artefacts and do not represent an increase in realized hashrate
