Anyone using the USB adapters? cgminer can not find the miner...so I hot plug and nothing but errors
I have verified with Grapeape I have the dip switches and cables correct. I compiled cgminer-4.7.1 using --enable-blockerupter
I am using latest wheezy on a rasp pi and just tried it using a powered hub with same result.
I have had each of two of them up with CGminer 4.7.0 on Both Rasbien Jessie and Debian Jessie on the CubieTruck.
Important note on CGminer for Debian Jessie, the one that fell into the repository is broken. We did not catch a build system bug fast enough.
The Prisma is a bit of a bear to get running. It seems to generate a *LOT* of crap when it starts up and sometimes will cause CGminer to segmentation fault. This is not the fault of the CGminer folks as they were just given the driver by ASICMiner and included it. After a couple of tries of starting CGminer it will hash stably.
Another minor item to note: The chip on the USB device seems to get power from Prisma so if you power off the Prisma it will disconnect from the computer or at least one of mine did.
Can we get someone with direct contact to ASICMiner in the forums working on providing more info on switchs and what the errors in CGminer mean? I know they have said China is blocking BitcoinTalk, but any *Good* hacker can get around a firewall or find a friend to be a communication person for them.
