Hello all,
I have recently begun mining with an Antminer U2 with a raspberry pi running Minepeon and all is well. However, I have just ordered a Gridseed 5 Chip that can mine both Bitcoin and Litecoin. After looking around I realized that using the Gridseed may not be as simple as plug and play as the Antminer USB sticks are. From this does anyone know of a way I can run my Gridseed 5 with my raspberry pi, and even perhaps mine Litecoin as well as Bitcoin at the same time? (preferably Bitcoin though).
Any help would be greatly appreciated

HASHRA MINI CONTROLA it's the only out of the box dual-miner designed to work with GS5 orbs I know of... Unfortunately hashra.com has been down for a while so you will need to search bitcointalk and litecointalk to see if anybody has links to those ras.pi images. Another problem is HASHRA firmware has outdated hardware support and most likely will not recognize your U2 if you are planning to run everything on the same ras.pi.
May be you want to consider compiling your own cgminer or sgminar on ras.pi which will support all your miners - accept my apology I've done this some time ago and do not remember exactly which one I've tried... Possibly this one:
