Title: BFL Singles help ubuntu 11.04 cgminer
Post by: smracer on May 21, 2012, 11:22:50 PM
I just got 5 singles hooked up.  I compiled cgminer for Bitforce enabled.

I can do a lsusb and here is what I get.

Bus 002 Device 008: ID 0403:6014 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 0403:6014 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 0403:6014 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0403:6014 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0403:6014 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd

The problem is I have no /dev/ttyUSBn device files.  I also have no /dev/serial/by-id directory or files.

If I do this...

sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0403 product=0x6014

I get the /dev/ttyUSBn files and cgminer starts but it disables all the singles right away.  I think it is a communication error.

Am I missing some module that needs to be installed on ubuntu 11.04? 

If I type lsmod|grep serial I get nothing.  Do I need some usbserial module maybe?

Do I need a special driver or something?

Thanks

Bo
