I bought 2x Red Fury USB ASIC's (2.2Gh/s each) and have been working for the past 8 hours trying to get them working with both cgminer and bfgminer but with no luck!

cgminer will not accept the --scrypt argument at all (even when downgrading to 3.7.2 and using the --enable-scrypt argument when installing)

I have a Raspberry Pi on Rasparian - Installed all the dependencies and stuff, all installations go fine.

When I try to run an SHA-256 based pool it works fine, but when I attempt to run a Scrypt-based pool I get blocks rejected (obviously because I'm trying to run SHA on a Scrypt pool, understandable)

It's the same story on Windows too - So you guys are my last resort! I have exhausted Google/Bitcointalk searches..

So my question is, do these ASIC's work with Scrypt pools/Solo-mine's - If so, how do I set it up?

No. They are designed to hash SHA-256 only.

It's just not possible.  You're just as likely to use --gold and start mining actual gold with it.
