Got mine today. Plugged it into my machine which is currently running 2 Ant U2's with CGminer 4.4.2. I used Zadig to install the WinUSB driver for the device.
Do I need to update CGMiner or change my command line to get this to work?

UPDATE: Tried CGMiner 4.7.1 and no improvement.

Icarus detect (1:11) fialed to initialise (incorrect device?)

Is no one using else using their U3 yet?

I got mine yesterday, tried to build the CGMiner that Bitmain provides (https://github.com/bitmaintech/cgminer), but kept getting compilation errors on my Mac. Got it to compile on a Ubuntu 14.04 box but it couldn't find the device. I also tried various BFGMiner versions on my Mac and my Ubuntu boxes and the Mac couldn't find the device. The Ubuntu box found 2 of the 4 chips and is currently hashing at ~4gh/s.

I'm kinda at a loss.
