I acquired a miner from Butterfly Labs and decided to pair it up with my Raspberry Pi. Some quick googling and searching on the BFL forums I found this post: https://forums.butterflylabs.com/bitcoin-discussion/3238-super-tutorial-raspberry-pi-raspbian-cgminer-tightvnc-wifi-boot.html
It is a very quick and easy step-by-step guide to setting up raspbian on your Pi and getting your miner working. Unfortunately I did not take great notes when setting it up as I was in a rush, but I did take a few notes of some things that were required for me but were not in the initial post - I found them later in the thread. If you're reading this, hopefully it is of some help to you. If I have the chance to revisit my configuration/setup, I will provide an update confirming my additions.
CGMiner
When installing the dependencies for CGMiner, I needed to include libusb-1.0-0 and libudev-dev: # sudo aptitude install libusb-1.0-0 libudev-dev
These last two commands I ran... I do not know if I needed to but I highlighted them in my notes. They are also not in the initial post but I do not know if they are in fact needed to get going:
Add the current user to the 'plugdev' group:
# sudo usermod -G plugdev -a `whoami`
Copy 01-cgminer.rules from the cgminer folder in the home directory into /etc/udev/rules.d/:
# sudo cp ~/cgminer/01-cgminer.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
TightVNC
When you are connecting to the VNC server on your Pi, be sure to specify the port! For me, I used :1. The address looked like this:
