You can only interchange between the BM1397 ASIC variants because the CompacF and the R909 were designed with the BM1397 ASIC chips. The variants are BM1397AG, BM1397AF, BM1397AH, BM1397AI, BM1397AD. However BM1397AG and BM1397AI are commonly used and available. Some say that the BM1397AI is better than the rest and hence more expensive.
No need to change any drivers because they are all BM1397 ASICs.
You cannot use BM1366 ASIC (Antminer S19 XP) in your CompacF or the R909. You need to redesign a new circuit board and components for it to run. BitaxeUltra board by Open Source Miners United uses the BM1366 ASIC. It's an open source and you can make it yourself.

Thank you very much for the clear explanation and what variants I can use. Greatly appreciated SilverDesert
First of all, thank you to the guys SideHack and Kanoi for their hard work on the ASIC sticks and the dev side of things. It has been a fun small project for me to get the software up and running on the hardware and I’m now mining some SHA256 crypto’s.
The main question to this post is.
When it boils down to maintenance on the stick, it’s understandable they use the BM1397 ASIC chips to process these mathematical puzzles and I would like to know whether these chips can be upgraded? Will they need new drivers? Or are they just incompatible with other chips?

That's an old version of cgminer and I never heard of that source before the link you provided above is not a guide but a direct download link.
If you are using Windows 11 with installed WSL would you mind to follow the guide from Kano.is how to compile cgminer?
The guide can be found here https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/blob/master/windows-build.txt

You Sir are a legend. Now past the ../cgminer/mxe.sh b and compiling the rest of the code. Happy days.

Thank you kindly Sir.
Hello everyone.
I’m very new to mining but have always been very intrigued by charts and instruments. Recently I come across GekkoScience Compac F’s. Instantly sparked an interest seeing 350gh/s advertised at $200 a stick, I snagged 2. I have not yet received them but in the mean time I am trying to compile the modifications a few devs have shared on GitHub I believe. Allowing miners to put these sticks to further use. I went a little down the GitHub rabbit hole with no knowledge of coding whatsoever.. kind of grasped what was needed in my situation to run these sticks and managed to get WSL Ubuntu setup and upgraded on win11.
I have browsed the forum and come across a few issues from other users but mine is none of the same. I have got half way into the guide where it tells me to compile cgminer/mxe.sh b… this is where I have hit a wall.
I do not know if I have been entering the commands incorrectly or I have a real issue.
Here is the source I followed from. https://github.com/wareck/cgminer-gekko/archive/refs/tags/8c56556.zip using the windows-build.txt.
I done all of the above correctly apart from this section:
** Download MXE and build the libraries cgminer needs:
cd
cgminer/mxe.sh mxe
cd mxe/
** The versions of MXE after build-2020-06-06 fail to build cmake on WSL
** You can skip this line if they ever fix that:
git checkout build-2020-06-06
** This compiles the mxe code needed - it can take a few hours in WSL ...
** It also downloads each package it needs to build:
../cgminer/mxe.sh b
The error does not allow me to compile after the above 2 steps were fine.
If someone may kindly give me their input it would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
