I am pretty sure that given the volume KNC won't be using automated unit assembly (PCB will be assembled by automated pick & place machines). All bitcoin hardware is relatively low volume (for now). Hundreds or even low thousands of units doesn't warrant automated assembly of major components. BFL problem isn't hand assembly it is a) they over promised (lied), b) they didn't met power/cooling project and had to scrap everything and redesign, c) they have been utterly incompetent in maintaining supply chain. BFL with automated assembly wouldn't be any further along in the backlog. It simply would have cost more.
Having had boards done.. no, they better be using automated unit assembly. It's not expensive. For a run of 1000 or less units? That works out to ~20 a day. Sure. Where do those numbers come from? It's a lot more than that. Also they are modular units that should probably be suitable for the next gen if they planned well which seems likely. The cases are nothing to manufacture, probably a design that already exists slightly modified to suit...they are probably already done. I think we'll be surprised how quickly they fly out once they get rocking.

haha he took it seriously
Although it's funny. In responding to the sarcastic answer, he answered his own question. Obviously he was able to do the research himself, he just lacked sufficient motivation at the time. BTW: Has everyone setup their mining addresses and/or worker IDs on the KnC website? Unlike Avalon, they are going to pre-configure and do the burn in test on customer addresses/pool accounts. Those hashes coming in will be the major signal that they're ready to start shipping. I have not yet. Can someone explain how ASIC miner devices' software are generally set up? So let's say I have bitcoin-qt running on my laptop. I have the miner power supply connected and hook the miner up to my laptop via USB (or maybe my router via ethernet?) Then what? The miner is suppose to have its own operating system I believe so it would be like a Raspberry Pi as far as initial connections but maybe easier with a web interface and the RPi has a web interface as well. With a Raspberry Pi one would fire it up then look at one's router DHCP table and see what address is assigned. Then one would telnet in, like with Putty, or SSH in and again like with Putty. Then it depends on what mining software it will be running I suppose. Like Minepeon, one fires up the Raspberry Pi then tenets or ssh's in. Cgminer will already be running. One would then give the command sudo screen -r and the cgminer interface is displayed showing how it woke up and what devices have been found and are hashing and stats about that process. Since there won't be hotplugging more devices in, they may use bfgminer instead of cgminer or, like zTex, use some other mining software.

Honestly i think these guys are the goods .....
Definenately looking like they are "THE ONE"
aka matrix aka as the respected company who will be the APPLE of the CRYPTO world aka BFL killer aka AVALON killer
Will they meet the deadline as per bit bet ...hmmm ~ only 3 more weeks ... I think they may JUST miss it by a week
So it should be a win for me Yay !! ....a sweet sweet 4.4 btc .....and a win for the miners who ordered just a very slight delay Cheesy

Did they specify that they will give users shell access at all? All I've seen is that they will give users web access to configure cgminer running on the embedded system. Are they using the OrSOC OpenRISC development board for this? Unfortunately all the links with more details at the OrSOC website http://www.orsoc.se/?p=127 are broken and return 404 - File or directory not found.

it's not an R-pi, it's their own design. I'm sure they'll give people root access if they want it, but they're designed to be very plug'n'play.

It's probably not the OpenRISC, but the ORSoC ARM SO-DIMM: http://www.orsoc.se/?p=495 (still all the links are broken) since KnC has talked about the SO-DIMM module in the past.

its an old message from 18 April 2013 http://www.orsoc.se/?p=508 BUT not 18th century manufacturing like BFL ORSoC and KNCminer are partnering up to develop Bitcoin mining products. ORSoC has started a partnership with KNCminer Bitoin KNCminer offering first class Bitcoin mining products with high performance. In our partnership ORSoC will be responsible for product development, including design, production and testing.
Our technical expertise together with excellent vendor partnership we feel confident we quickly can design and produce an affordable high performance mining product. More information about KNCminer available at www.kncminer.comQuestions regarding these products are handled by KNCminer.
