Title: Mining a Xilinx FPGA Post by: Epicblood on October 13, 2012, 04:49:30 AM Hey all,
I just got a Xilinx ML605 and was wondering how to use it to mine. I saw on the mining hardware chart of the bitcoin wiki that it is fairly effective, is there a prewritten program, or can I use the GUIMiner? If not, is there a tut on how to set this up? thanks Title: Re: Mining a Xilinx FPGA Post by: shad on October 13, 2012, 07:05:01 AM https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=9047.0
i think this is the place to get started, i don't think there is a ML605 mining for dummys guide out there also you would ned the xilinx development studio, but normaly you get it with an ML605 development kit afaik Title: Re: Mining a Xilinx FPGA Post by: Epicblood on October 13, 2012, 07:23:00 PM yea, it says it works with the spartan family though and the ML605 is Virtex

how much did the chip and board cost? Title: Re: Mining a Xilinx FPGA Post by: Epicblood on October 13, 2012, 07:59:32 PM The board should be able to get 300 M/has according to the bitcoin wiki, it cost me nothing.
