Title: cgminer - bfl jalapeno - hex2bin scan failed?
Post by: fraenk on November 18, 2013, 03:26:39 PM
Hi,

finally received a BFL jalapeno... not going to bitch about engineering now...

it is hashing perfectly fine under windows

however, under linux i am getting a "hex2bin scan failed" error and it won't start hashing.

any ideas?

In order for the BFL devices to instantly be owned by the plugdev group and
accessible by anyone from the plugdev group you can copy the file
"01-cgminer.rules" from the cgminer archive into the /etc/udev/rules.d
directory with the following command:

 sudo cp 01-cgminer.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

After this you can either manually restart udev and re-login, or more easily
just reboot.
