Code merged into master cgminer, thanks.
zefir previously mentioned that cgminer has support for MCP2210-based boards (with USB comms to a PC rather than a RasPi). Does this merge now mean that a current-version build of cgminer will run the A1 chips direct from a PC, if the MCP2210 is included?
That would be sweet...
No, the current version runs exactly the CoinCraft Desk which is driven by a RasPi over its SPI interface. To make it working over MCP2210, one would need to wrap the SPI interface (which is abstracted over spi-context.c already) over MCP2210. Should be easy to implement, alas I currently am too busy so look at.
Very good, thanks for the quick reply. I've heard a couple comments that the RasPi is not suitable for this sort of thing, but hearing that it's used in the Desk product (a professional, commercial product) is reassuring.
