The way I got BFGminer to work was by adding the -D switch at the end of the command line.
It took a lot of trial and error. Finally, I wanted to see why BFGminer would start the miner, and then not talk to it. To get rid of all of the extra information on the screen, I used the --quiet switch in my start up script.
Some of the numbers are kind of strange... The first calculated hashrate is high, and I think the errors are exaggerated, but the average hashrate is bang-on. It has been running well since Monday night. I was a bit disappointed when bfgminer declared it sick and didn't do anything, but it was pool-related, and I see that there are now command options for IDLE/SICK/DEAD, which I am slowly figuring-out. I may just try to talk to Luke. It has an average hashrate of 420.x GH/s, just like cgminer 3.9 on the RPi.
Any command line options I've added go before the -D switch. At first, it was just because I didn't want to jinx a good thing. Now, it probably doesn't matter, I just have no reason to change it.
Hope that helps,

The Baby Jet works with BFGMiner? If so How did you get it to? I tried everything and Couldnt get it.
@HF_engineer, will the new firmware push back the watch dog. Or is there any way to try to avoid it?
Okay cool. May hold off just because in cgminer right now I am OCing.It took a lot of trial and error. Finally, I wanted to see why BFGminer would start the miner, and then not talk to it. To get rid of all of the extra information on the screen, I used the --quiet switch in my start up script.

How will the firmware be updated? I've basically got an unusable RPi, since the February 7th update. I'm running bfgminer 3.10.0 on Ubuntu with no issues. I started to install cgminer, but it would have taken me an entire day... Bfgminer is much easier to install.
While my BabyJet has been running, I've tried to get the RPi to work, several times, from scratch. Both Raspian and MinePeon will load, but neither will run. Frankly, I'm not impressed with these RPis.
My BabyJet ran with the RPi for 10 days, until the February 7th update was pushed out. HashFast even sent me a new SD card for the RPi, but nothing changed. The only issue since running on Ubuntu has been pool-related.
I bought my BabyJet to make money, not beta-test for HashFast (at my expense)
Now, to figure out how to overclock with bfgminer...
