I must be completely stupid because I can NEVER figure out how to download files from this website. All I see are links that open up as web based text files and on and on...
I can see a little further down where one can download a particular binary but what about the rest of the files? Do I have to download them one at a time?
For the linux source, use git and clone it to you Ubuntu machine:
sudo apt-get install git gcc make automake autoconf libcurl4-openssl-dev libjansson-dev
git clone https://github.com/gridseed/usb-miner/
cd usb-miner/software/cpuminer
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
That will get you the minerd executable. Still have to run an instance per gridseed unit. Instead of a comm port #, you address them with the /dev entry.
On Ubuntu 13.04, they showed up as /dev/ttyACM0, /dev/ttyACM1,....etc
