Title: USB Bitcoin Miner Help Post by: BitWalker28 on April 25, 2023, 02:28:56 PM I have been tinkering with a USB miner consisting of 2 BM1387b chips. My question is, what firmware do I need in order for the PC to recognize the miner when in the USB port? I am assuming some type of bootloader.

I think you don't need to flash this miner with firmware if it does not recognize it might be a driver issue. I heard that it needs zadig generic WinUSB driver to make this USB miner visible. You can find this driver under this thread below - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1764803.0 Title: Re: USB Bitcoin Miner Help Post by: BitWalker28 on April 26, 2023, 12:18:58 AM Are you talking about Compact F USB miner?
