Title: BFL ASIC Chip PCB Design/Manufacturing & Assembly Post by: CoinHoarder on June 18, 2013, 12:29:53 AM Who's gonna do it?
There are so so so many options to get Avalon chips assembled... almost too many. Hopefully at least one of you are planning on doing the same for BFL chips??? Before I plop down $7k on 100 chips, I'd like to know I will have somewhere to get them assembled. ;D Title: Re: BFL ASIC Chip PCB Design/Manufacturing & Assembly Post by: jelin1984 on June 18, 2013, 12:31:09 AM Yes same question here
Title: Re: BFL ASIC Chip PCB Design/Manufacturing & Assembly Post by: EvilLizardApparel on June 18, 2013, 12:36:39 AM Same. Need 300-400 chips worth of assembly..been asking around. Now that schematics are published, some offers should be popping up.

Quote The price for the Full Miner assembly service will include:*: 4 Layers’ PCB All electronic components Full assembly Heat Sink 12 to 24 hours testing to meet the so deserved BkkCoins’s royalties. Fan and Case will be available at an extra cost Title: Re: BFL ASIC Chip PCB Design/Manufacturing & Assembly Post by: CanaryInTheMine on June 18, 2013, 12:43:42 AM Who's gonna do it? sent the files to a local place in Chicago here. waiting for quotes "Quoting quantity for all 3 projects will be: 10, 100, 500, 1k and 5k." ;DThere are so so so many options to get Avalon chips assembled... almost too many.

Have they ever got more than two chips to work on that board ?

"@BFL_Nasser - could you post a zipped project? It would be great to have the Schematic elements as well as the PCB. A packaged project would be ideal. These files are not enough to build a decent board without a lot of fiddling, especially if one wanted to go to a full production run. It would take about 2 weeks to get a serious Altium project out of this with all of the supply chain and schematic elements in place. If anyone is seriously working on a BFL ASIC based project, I am an electronic engineer with a decade of experience and an up to date seat and subscription to Altium Designer. I made a quick dump of the final artwork for the PCB, but this needs a lot more 'paperwork' and documentation before it can be manufactured. @BillJ BitforceSC-finalprints-UNFORMATTED-17062013.pdf" - skrivitor Posted here: https://forums.butterflylabs.com/announcements/3295-bitforce-sc-pcb-schematics-2.html#post41529 Title: Re: BFL ASIC Chip PCB Design/Manufacturing & Assembly Post by: CanaryInTheMine on June 18, 2013, 03:43:01 AM Who's gonna do it? sent the files to a local place in Chicago here. waiting for quotes "Quoting quantity for all 3 projects will be: 10, 100, 500, 1k and 5k." ;DThere are so so so many options to get Avalon chips assembled... almost too many.

I agree with skrivitor, there's a lot that is missing from that dump.
It *may* be possible to rebuild a full BoM from the PDF schematic, but if I were going to be spending a good sum on getting boards built I wouldn't be using the old Single board that's been relegated to the Jalapeno unless I was under a significant time crunch.

As soon we are able to put this in production our PCB designer will start work on BFL based custom board But it's early to anounce anything @ the moment Regards Title: Re: BFL ASIC Chip PCB Design/Manufacturing & Assembly Post by: southerngentuk on June 18, 2013, 07:48:08 AM Who's gonna do it?
