I see the miners with these commands

    lsusb -t
    /:  Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=dwc_otg/1p, 480M
        |__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=hub, Driver=hub/3p, 480M
            |__ Port 1: Dev 3, If 0, Class=vend., Driver=smsc95xx, 480M

                    |__ Port 4: Dev 7, If 0, Class=HID, Driver=usbhid, 12M

and

    lsusb
    Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9512 Standard Microsystems Corp.
    Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

but they do not show up when running bfgminer 3.10.0

Running Raspbian and have compiled everything from source.

Is there a missing driver I need for these?

command line

    ./bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.d7.lt:3333 -u username -p password -S nanofury:all --set-device NFY:osc6_bits=33

output

    NO DEVICES FOUND: Press 'M' and '+' to add

I've seen this configured on other systems, do I need o configure this as well?

UPDATE

Looks like I missed a package I needed to install:

 - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=291456.msg3924680#msg3924680

But now Im getting this error

     [2014-03-26 01:43:29] mcp2210_get_configs: Failed to get current SPI config

    root@raspberrypi:/usr/bfgminer/bfgminer-3.10.0#

at least it's progress but still an issue

I don't claim to know anything about bitcoin miners, but from what you've posted, it looks like the device enumerated OK but there is a problem with the SPI communications. If the SPI data is being transferred to/from the USB host, a USB protocol analyzer might offer some insight into what's happening:

Thanks for your reply, I'm thinking the same. Someone pointed me to this site:

 - https://projects.drogon.net/wiringpi-and-the-raspberry-pi-revision-2/

BTW do you have any USB Analyzer tools for Debian? looks like most of those are for Windows

some additional output since I've updated the RPi firmware

BTW do you have any USB Analyzer tools for Debian?

Looks like TotalPhase http://www.totalphase.com/protocols/usb/?___SID=U does a Linux host.

If you want to try a software-only analyzer, see:
