Question regarding FPGA boards

[Oninaig]

I recent bought a Diligent Basys 2 board and I am a little lost as to how to set it up for mining. All of the guides and open source projects I have come across seem to support every board except the one I am using (http://www.digilentinc.com/Data/Products/BASYS2/Basys2_rm.pdf).

My question is, what type of board is this in the first place? I have read through the manual, and it doesn't mention whether it is a MMQ, BFL, etc type of board (this may seem like a stupid question). I suppose thats the first problem I need to solve before going any further.

Its a development board (NOT a bitcoin miner). You'll have to program it yourself. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=9047.0

The reason there is little support for mining on this board is because its almost totally unsuitable, its far too small a device. That is not to say that its impossible to mine on that board, just that there will be very little point. Sorry to bear bad news  

PS If you want to have a go, start with https://github.com/fpgaminer/Open-Source-FPGA-Bitcoin-Miner/tree/master/projects/Verilog_Xilinx_Port , set the CONFIG_LOG_LOOP2 parameter to the maximum of 5 to minimise the device utilisation and make whatever changes are needed to port the code to the Baysis2 platform (I can't help with that, sorry).
