That is the bfgminer software ... you need to set up a driver first as well.

After much thread searching and lurking I found that the Rpi USB is crap, and that it hates anything above USB2 (even hates some USB2) and a fix is to force the Rpi to only use USB1 by adding “dwc_otg.speed=1” to “cmdline.txt”.
After adding this (running 4 MLD on a orico 10 port USB3 hub with Rpi3) everything seems to be working fine I can now go 700+ and so far seems stable, will post back later once it’s had a good run to confirm
Hopefully this will help others having the same problem on a pi
