Title: What is needed for and fpga miner: whats needed aside board in post.
Post by: techman05 on April 17, 2013, 11:20:16 PM
I saw this post when searching for info but being new to the site I cant ask here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=62681.20

I saw this on amazon for 150 but no mention of uses here or what otherwise needs to be added to make it a mining tool.

http://www.amazon.com/Nexys2-500K-Xilinx-Spartan-3E-Development/dp/B001D9EN6E/ref=cm_cmu_pg__header

Its only 150 U.S.D so I'm not sure if I'm looking too much into bitcoin sites which are over charging or if this is as is and could just run and fpga software and make it go.

What is needed more if I get a supported board. Are there parts not mentioned I need to get a good mining tool up and running?

Thanks

I would be interested in knowing the if/how this could be turned into a FPGA miner as well  :)
