Has anyone gotten CGMiner 4.5 to run with the Gridseed A1 units?  I see A1 files in it, I've compiled it with the A1 support....but it never detects the A1 hardware when I run it.  

command line:  sudo ./cgminer -o pooladdress -u username -p password --bitmine-a1-options 16000:800000:2000

The unit has a built in rpi and the A1 controller board is connected to the GPIO pins.  I've tried running on the image that came with the hardware, as well as compiling on a generic raspbian image....same result....it doesn't find the A1 hardware.  

What am I missing?

The hardware I'm speaking of is this one in particular:
*Large image removed*

Anyone?
I've re-cloned and recompiled with different configurations, all of which enable the bitmine_A1 (I also compiled with Avalon as was mentioned in a previous post, some I enabled ALL hardware).  None detect the hardware.
Here are a couple screenshots of what happens when I run cgminer:



Using an rpi (obviously since it's built into the unit) and the following command line with the compiled versions of cgminer 4.5.0
Code:
sudo ./cgminer --hotplug=0 --bitmine-a1-options 0:900000:0:0 -o stratum+tcp://us1.ghash.io:3333 -u nst6563.A1 -p x
I've also tried
Code:
sudo ./cgminer --hotplug=0 --bitmine-a1-options 0:900000:0:0 -o stratum+tcp://us1.ghash.io:3333 -u nst6563.A1 -p x
as well as
Code:
sudo ./cgminer --hotplug=0 --bitmine-a1-options 0:900000:0 -o stratum+tcp://us1.ghash.io:3333 -u nst6563.A1 -p x

The command line for the version of cgminer that came with it (3.9.0) is:
Code:
sudo ./cgminer --hotplug=0 --cs=8 --hwreset --stmcu=1 --diff=8 -o stratum+tcp://us1.ghash.io:3333 -u nst6563.A1 -p x --api-listen --api-allow W:127.0.0.1 --api-port 4028 --real-quiet
