Title: [DIY] - SP20 blade on Raspberry Pi
Post by: dartanian23 on March 06, 2015, 11:55:01 AM
Hi,

It is possible to connect a spondoolies tech SP20 blade on Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone Black?

Not without considerable development effort.
We give the FPGA - ASIC protocol doc only under NDA.
TechnoBit implemented their own firmware without FPGA.
I don't think it's open source.

damn! too bad

imagine some kind of monster miner made out of 10 sp20 blades....
 ;D

Hi,

Where I can find a controller board for sp20 ? the main chip is burned.
And another miner, I tried recovery but no success. the 2 leds is not flashing. only network leds.

I'm working on a driver module for bfgminer that would in theory be able to handle the communications. But not worked out power mgmt yet.

I've gotta ask where did zvi come up with the name squid?

Is about 3 weeks from that moment and I don't have the units working again. Poor support services, low technical skills of the person who I talking on email and skype. After 2 weeks they understand where is the problem and now I wait for the boards.

I lost one month of mining with 2 SP 20, 1 BTC. That  is not possible :(
