Hello,
As I'm not allowed to post anywhere else, I'm posting here.

I have got several BiFury miners, it looks like it has very little or almost no support at all.
That's why I'd be happy if someone could help me a little bit.
First o fall is there some way how to get it running under Linux? To be more specific Debian 7.2.
When I connect device to system in kernel log I see:
[1704559.597506] usb 2-2.1: new full-speed USB device number 9 using uhci_hcd
[1704559.733273] usb 2-2.1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
[1704559.860650] hub 2-2:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1
It looks like I need some driver is missing (module).
Few more questions:
Under windows I have running devices with cgminer, but no device is running with promissed 5+gh/s I have about 4.6-4.7gh/s. What can cause this problem?
What is normal running temperature and what is maximum acceptable temperature for this device?
What dose red blinking led mean?
In bgfminer readme I written:
If you want to upgrade the firmware, unplug your device. You will need to
temporarily short a circuit. With the USB connector pointing forward, and the
heatsink down, look to the forward-right; you will see two tiny lights, a set of
2 terminals, and a set of 3 terminals. The ones you need to short are the set of
2. With them shorted, plug the device back into your computer. It will then
pretend to be a mass storage disk drive. If you use Windows, you can play along
and just overwrite the firmware.bin file. If you use Linux, you must use mcopy:
mcopy -i /dev/disk/by-id/usb-NXP_LPC1XXX_IFLASH_ISP-0:0 firmware.bin \
::/firmware.bin
After this is complete, unplug the device again and un-short the 2 terminals.
This completes the upgrade and you can now plug it back in and start mining.
It looks quite clear, but only problem is where I can get mentioned file firmware.bin? And why should I change it?
Maybe there is some way to overclock device, to get higher hash rate?
I'll be happy if someone could help or explain me any of questions written
