USB hub busy when mining Peercoin with Red Fury ASIC running Minepeon

Question

I have a RasPI running minepeon 0.2.5, a DLINK USB Hub and a Red Fury USB ASIC Bitcoin Miner 2.2-2.7GH/Sec By BITFURY

I've added my pool https://ppcoin.d7.lt/ and things looked good except nothing is mining.

The miner states it's running but the device id is 0 and hashrate is 0.

I've tried to start the miner manually in accordance to https://ppcoin.d7.lt/getting-started

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.d7.lt:3333 -u miner.1 -p 99999

It starts up but states that the USB hub is busy, I see it testing the Red Fury but after that it still is not mining.

Am I missing something?

This issue helped me solve my issue:

• https://github.com/MineForeman/minepeon-base/issues/13#issuecomment-33760864

running the command

sudo lsusb -v

I get this out put, is this correct?

idVendor 0x03eb Atmel Corp.
idProduct 0x204b LUFA USB to Serial Adapter Project
bcdDevice 0.00
iManufacturer 1 BFMG
iProduct 2 Bitfury BF1

add the lines below to this file

/etc/udev/rules.d/01-miner.rules

add these lines

# BF1
ATTRS{idVendor}=="03eb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="204b", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ACTION=="add", MODE="0666", GROUP="minepeon"

rebooted the server and now I see my miner!
