Title: Setting up BTCMiner for FPGA FPGA Module 1.15y?
Post by: objectnotfound on July 02, 2013, 07:08:41 AM
So I like to think I'm pretty technically proficient, but my Linux skills are lacking ever since I started using OSX.

I'm running Ubuntu off a thumbdrive on an iMac, and I bought one of these FPGA boards thinking I can figure it out, but I'm totally lost. Is there a step-by-step anywhere where I can figure out what the hell I'm supposed to be doing?

You have 2 options:

Use Ztex own miner (Java based, libusb driver provided by Ztex) or use any other miner that is aviable here.

Use the search function firs to find out what to do. If you have specific questions just ask :)

It realy isnt that hard to do. A bit tricky but if you follow the Ztex how-to you should get them running in no time!

Almost might think about getting a Raspberry Pi.  Can download a custom OS like Raspian or Minepeon and run them off that (with a powered hub of course) and use either CGMiner or BFGMiner.

I tried running the ZTEX miner, how do you load the libusb driver? Are the LEDs on the board supposed to come on right when it's plugged in?

If you plug it in all four LEDs are on (Green) on config they are turned of.


Try to tell us what you did exactly and where you are hanging?
