Hi Everyone,

Following our policy to release our spec and designs, you can find the PCB & Schematics attached to this message.

good stuff :)

glad to see the reference documentation is finally released

Huge step up to bitcoin security.

Many thanks, Butterfly Labs.

Interesting thanks  :o

Awesome!! thank you!

This is pretty cool to see the schematics finally!  Thanks! 

That is cool.

This is great

who will be making the boards for us now?

I can only assume that with PCB and clematis plans + design open sourced someone will pick up the mantle of producing boards within a few days.

Reserved? ;D

Thanks, but it's a bit incomplete, though. The schematic isn't EVERYTHING.. Where is the SchDoc? I think we all need the BOM too, otherwise it's useless.

I wonder in a parallel universe somewhere that Avalon doesn't exist, if their BFL would have even considered this.

Edit: And bitch please, upload it to something more open than BFL forums, my god.

The schematics are provided in the PDF file which can , if someone wants to, be converted to a schdoc file ...

It looks like their Altium BOM is about as detailed as the Avalon Altium BOM but some components are missing but the schematic PDF file fills in the blanks as does the Avalon PDF schematics fill in the blanks with regards to Avalon.  Therefore, I believe if you know what you're doing the information provided is more than sufficient to make a fully functional BFL miner - if you have the asics.  Basically, similarly to Avalon, a full and separate BOM doesn't appear necessary if you use the schematics in combination with the Altium file ...

and BFL could build miner without the help of the community after one year of "shipping in 14 day" bullshit

when are they supposed to start deliver the chips?

Many thanks.

Have they been taken down?  I can't seem to be able to reach these...

You need to login to their forums.

Their facebook authentication thingy for creating new user accounts is totally fucked. It was showing me the personal name and email of some random user earlier today, and no matter how many times I refreshed the page, it kept rejecting my information when trying to register...

Can somebody download it and re-post? Really not interested in fucking with registration on that site, any further.

Now for the KlondikeBFL board...

Is this design easy to improve upon ?

I would help finance a PCB production group-buy.

watching!

I assume the "ARM" spot is for a miner on board? But how is the ARM supposed to communicate off the board? I see no ethernet?

Are there going to be schematics for the long boards?

Hi. Has anyone found the drill files?
Thanks
Laura

Is there more details necessary to build a clone board? I'm curious as this might be a good use for those chip credits.

As you know, orig downloads are down.

Can somebody PM me the schematic and board files  for the SC ORION version .
I like to make some use of this obsolete miner in another project.

many thanks in advance.

Paul.

I have the SC schematics in PDF format.

I would also appreciate a copy of the schematic.

Thanks in advance.

Any chance you still have these laying around?
