USB Bitcoin Miner Help

[BitWalker28]

I have been tinkering with a USB miner consisting of 2 BM1387b chips.  My question is, what firmware do I need in order for the PC to recognize the miner when in the USB port?  I am assuming some type of bootloader.

Are you talking about Compact F USB miner?
I think you don't need to flash this miner with firmware if it does not recognize it might be a driver issue.

I heard that it needs zadig generic WinUSB driver to make this USB miner visible.
You can find this driver under this thread below

Yes.  I need to flash the miner with firmware but I'm not really sure which I need to use.  I understand the the WinUSB drivers.

There is no 'firmware' to be flashed to the stick. It uses the cgminer program tha is ran on a PC. Any 'ux preferred but yes there is a Windows version as well. That thread will cover what you need to know.

This thread will help you too I guess : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1779423.0

You just need to install CGminer to run it.
