Re: Mac OS X Resource & Howto for cgminer 3.8.2 & bfgminer 3.6.0 (Homebrew/DIY/Bins)
I've updated my original post with a list to this new article on mining using Blue & Red Fury ASICs on OS X:

I will try it once I get home. I remember seeing a new modem driver under dev whenever I connected the BF1, and go away when unloading the drivers, but since I didn't load them back I couldn't make it work.

And it does!

Re: Mac OS X Resource & Howto for cgminer 3.8.2 & bfgminer 3.6.0 (Homebrew/DIY/Bins)
I'll have too look for other drivers on the osx side.
As for the ubuntu vm, after installing bfgminer things look more promising:
I'll try and see if it works...

Re: Mac OS X Resource & Howto for cgminer 3.8.1 & bfgminer 3.5.1 (Homebrew/DIY/Bins)
Just as a heads up, the only way I was able to get cgminer to see my BlueFury under Mac OS 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9 was to 'unload' the new USB modem
sudo kextunload -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBCDC
sudo kextunload -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBCDCACMData
Hopefully this will save someone else a LOT of hair pulling
sudo kextunload -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBCDC
sudo kextunload -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBCDCACMData
Hopefully this will save someone else a LOT of hair pulling
Finally have a BF1 (Red Fury on-loan) and can confirm this. Before doing this I would get the following error:
Code:
cgminer -d?

After unloading both kernel extensions and re-plugging the device cgminer was able to recognize it.
I tried that also. On cgminer (I have v. 3.6.6) I get this:

I'm going to try on an Ubuntu virtual machine.... see what happens.
Re: Mac OS X Resource & Howto for cgminer 3.8.2 & bfgminer 3.6.0 (Homebrew/DIY/Bins)
I have tried everything on my mac but bfgminer doesn't recognize the BlueFury.
I can see it on my system profiler, have installed the latest bfgminer from brew and unloaded the kext's but nothing.... I really don't know what else to do... :-(

Just a shot in the dark, but you may wanna give this a read http://blog.nwoolls.com/2013/07/01/bitcoin-mining-on-mac-os-x-asics/
this line caught my eye "if you are using bfgminer you must install the CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP driver"
This advice is worth everything you paid for it, as I have yet to play with bfgminer
Yes, I followed all his posts regarding mac mining and everything worked like a charm. Had to install those drivers for the Block Erupters (which work fine by the way)....
I bought this BF1 afterwards and is driving me crazy!

Open up terminal and type in:
Code:
bfgminer -o [your pool] -u [username] -p [passcode] -S bigpic:all
and see if that works.
I tried that also (just did it again just in case) and it only shows up the GPU

Trying to make the BlueFury work with no luck. I've tried every tip I could find on the forum with no results.
bfgminer is 3.6.0 from the woolls tap and tried unloading the USB kexts on OSX but it doesn't show up.
I can see it on the system profiler but that's it.
Has anyone encountered this behavior?
