Raspberry Pi With MinePeon Not Detecting USB Hub?

[CoinGeneral]

Hi,

When I plug 1x asic block erupters into the RPI itself, it's able to mine just fine, but if I use an aitech 10 port hub, it's not able to detect that there are at least 1x block erupters on the hub. When I do ls /dev, it's not detecting any new USB devices so I can't manually add them by using BFG miner.

What to do?

I heard it don't work with USB3 hubs.

What kind of hub are you using, I'm guessing the aitech 10 port hub, is USB 3.0?

Yeah, it is a usb 3.0 hub. I plug it into my laptop and whether using a usb 3.0 cable or not, it works. If I plug it into a 3.0 port or not, it works.

However you're right, looking it up it seems like 3.0 hubs don't work too well with the RPI

Yeah, you will need USB2.0. If you pickup a cheapy usb2, you can still use your 3 if you plug it into the usb2.

Sounds confusing, but what I did with mine:

RPi <---- USB2 <--- USB2, USB2, USB3, USB3
