I followed this and it worked great to get cgminer on a new raspberry pi image, so thanks for that. My SD card from bitcoinmerch got fried, so I had to buy a new one and setup cgminer.
I'm able to connect to the pool, but cgminer is not recognizing my USB Compac Fs. Getting "No devices detected!" "Waiting for USB hotplug devices or press q to quit"
I read through the readme and numerous threads, but have had no success. Anyone familiar with this?
It should just work.
Two things that come to mind that might be wrong are the following:
1) You didn't compile cgminer correctly. This can be anything, from using another source, as Kano's is the one with support for the Compac F, or not passing the correct compilation flags to include compac f support.
To check this, run the following:
./cgminer --help
It should print all the options, but in the beginning it should say this:
cgminer 4.12.0
Built with gekko mining support.
If it doesn't say that, there's your issue. If it does say that, then it's time to check the hardware.
2) Check your miner hardware setup.
Is your Compac F connected to a powered USB hub?, does it turn the lights on when giving it power?, Is it receiving enough airflow?.
What does it say when you list the USB devices in your computer? What's the output of this:
