Just to confirm, this doesn't support Bitfury v1.2 hcards/mcard combo? Compiled with --enable-bitfury and it doesn't find anything. And no mention in ASIC-README about hcards...

--enable-bab

Bitfury never supported my writing the software and wouldn't even sell me hardware - so it wasn't until someone sent me a BlackArrowBitfury board that I could write and test a driver for it.

The detection code and work send command is almost the same logic as chainminer - just less bugs Tongue
If they've updated the code and not released (i.e. don't want anyone to support their hardware) then yeah my code won't know about the updates
https://github.com/bfsb/chainminer is their code as far as I know ...

Thanks, got it working, doing quite nice, only 10-15GH/s slower than what Bifury's management page says when mining with chainminer. With chainminer i have handtuned the chip speeds. 248GH/s on average (10 hours of runtime) versus 260 - 267 in chainminer. I wonder if manual tuning of those autotune parameters would bring it up.

I'll let this run for a while.
