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?

The driver for the U3 is not in mainline yet, until it is you will have to use bitmains version.

Maybe if we all email bitmain asking for an Rpi image for the U3 that works they would post one (and for anyone not planning to use an Rpi we could always deconstruct it if we know the cg version used).
I have tried everything I could think of using the settings designed for the new chip. I am now going through options settings for the old ones to see if any work (i.e. icarus options with amu setting etc.)
 So far no luck with anything.                                        Huh

For the moment you would need to use Bitmain's Fork https://github.com/bitmaintech/cgminer the U3 driver should be integrated as of this commit https://github.com/bitmaintech/cgminer/commit/ecf7fd7a79b4018956d81fb709574595018c7d86 .  The U3 is currently not in the icarus driver.
