Hi
I recently received a second generation (55nm) Avalon2 Single unit. Avalon sells 2U rack-mount units for 4.5BTC that have three of these "single" units inside them. When you buy the single unit on it's own you get a small interface card with it that let's you connect the machine to a PC via USB.
Unfortunately it doesn't look like support for this module exists in either the latest CGMiner or BFGMiner. CGMiner has a driver-avalon2.c file and xiangfu has been contributing to it, but it appears as though cgminer lacks the linkage from identification to driver library to actually identify the device and start mining with it.
Can anyone help with getting CGMiner to recongise this device ? The device presents as a USB serial port under Linux :
