cgminer 3.9.0 does not directly support the U1.
You need to download the prebuilt  windows version from here and unzip.
https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1/tree/master/cgminer
Follow instructions in the AntMiner-U1 user guide.
https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1
The issue is that I have tried this 20 times, and it won't download. I just keep getting some piece of it. Odd that.

Okay folks, for those that are missing it (like me), you want to download from here:

https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1/blob/master/cgminer/cgminer-run-windows-20131224.zip

Click on "View Raw" which should start the download for you.

once the software catches up to these sticks they are going to kill.  I am getting a steady 2.0 from each one.

These have to be asic miners  new block erupters.
 they are the exact same size as a block eruptor .
they have the same id as a block erupter.
  fried cat  = sushi
first sale of 4000 at 45 btc a case
second sale of 20000 at 33 btc a case
new years eve promo at 31 btc a case
made in china
 a shit load of commonalities
 these sticks rock.

6x the hash at less power and stable.

they will bury the bit fury sticks..   2 gh at .075btc vs  2.5gh at .25btc not much to think about.

why do all the reading come as a multiple of 512? (512,1024,1536,2048,2560)

Because the difficulty on the pool is set to 512.
If he were mining with any other number, it would be a multiple of it (10, for example):

I have 4 of these.  Two run fine at the predicted hashrate for all frequencies up to 275 (i.e. 2.2 GH/s).

But, two of them consistently run about 1/3 the hashrate they're supposed to, no matter what settings I try, or even if I run them by themselves.

Anybody else see this?  And if so, were you able to resolve it?  Or do I just have two duds?

Out of curiosity what are you running them on?
Have you tried running them on a different host?

I know how to up the freq but how did you boost power?

 I have a lot of 12 volt and 13 volt psu's to use on hubs. 

 I was very pleased to get the 1.98-2.01 gh a stick.  but getting 2.4 a stick does sound tempting

I'm running them on a Debian Squeeze linux server after compiling the antminer version of cgminer 3.8.5 from their other github repository (not the AntGen one - the one with their modded cgminer source).  I have tried it on an edubuntu 12.04 host with the antminer-compiled cgminer too, but I think that had the same problem.  I'll try again when I get home tonight.

What does your command line look like?

I've been using:

Code:
C:\Users\M\Downloads\CTB\Antminerminer\cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -u <"Shut up, Flanders."> -p <xxx> --bmsc-options 115200:20 --bmsc-freq 0881

And seeing:

I'd like to get that average a bit higher, anyone have any thoughts? I think they are maxed for now. I do have a bunch of those weeny lil heatsinks, I'll put one on each of the ASICs, are there any other chips/items that would benefit from one stuck on there?

Also, since I don't want to fiddle with the miner jest yet, what do these commands do: "[P]ool management [ S ]ettings [D]isplay options [Q]uit"? I have a lil' bit of CMD.exe experience, but not a lot. I assume the miner window has to be primary, and I know what [Q] does, but what do the others do?

use 0981  for the freq    not 0881


 you will boost to 1.97- 2.01

Increasing the voltage involves changing surface mount resistors at R1 and R2.
All the information necessary is in the Over clocking section of AntMiner-U1 user guide.
When I get more time I will try some other voltage & clock experiment's.
Right now I am happy with .9 volt and 300mhz for 2.4gh/s.

@ philipma

What kind of amperage do you have available for your hubs and how many sticks per hub?

I am running 0881 and had to pull one stick out of each hub leaving 6 sticks per 4 amp hub -- the PSU's were cooking with 7 sticks (wallwarts)  Undecided

 yeah my eyes suck so that is not happening.

  I read that 0981 would work for   a 2.0gh overclock.

do you think the famous pencil mod used on redfury sticks  would work?

I have  10 port hubs with 8 + 7 sticks.

I use meanwell spu50-3   they are 5 amp 12 volt but they can adjust to 13 volt. will run 1 hub



this will run 2 hubs

*Maybe* but you'd want to measure the resistance really well beforehand since it'll be the only path for current across those two points, as opposed to parrallel around an existing connection between two points (like in the Red/Blue Fury).  I've done it with my Red Furys, and it worked great - one is quite happy at 3ghs and the other at 2.8ghs, but I'm not sure that I'd try it with these Ant U1s...

Edit to add reference that might help (looks like the resistance could be too high...:  http://tedprints.tedankara.k12.tr/23/1/2009-Gozde%20Nur.pdf

I have no idea what im doing with CGminer and I have always used bitminter.

I am trying to setup on my 10 port hub 7 miners and cant work out what im doing. I need a really basic walkthrough.

I find command line too difficult

How much power is this pulling from the port at default voltage?
