Title: Raspberry Pi Miner with FPGA's?
Post by: Potato50 on April 14, 2013, 10:12:35 PM
Hi

I have a raspberry pi that I would like to use to control an FPGA to mine bitcoins. Is this possible? If so, How would the Pi connect to the FPGA (USB or I/O?). If this is possible, are there any $20-$100 FPGA's that could mine a good amount of bitcoins to make profit?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it should be possible - another member here, battmann, is planning on hooking up his new modminer quad to a Pi, and I'm pretty sure I've seen other threads about it as well.

Thanks for the reply.

Does it connect with the I/O pins?
