[Work in progess] Burnins Avalon Chip to mining board service

[mike2kt]

10 Pin Ribbon cable is a quite common CAN-Cable when not used in automobiles or rough environments.
It has the right impedance, and i've included termination resistors on the board that need to be enabled on the Bus ends.

Perfect! That's what I was getting at...I'll STFU now. A major THANK YOU for working on this so hard!!

Hi burnin,

do you have any plans on testing the bitfury chips? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=228677.msg2407907#msg2407907

Best regards,
Micky

Yes these would be absolutely perfect and i intend to use these for the next generation.
The BFL chips would require a lot more development because of the flip-chip package.

Awsome news!
I think I will buy some chips via groupbuy... do you have any idea how much chips per board will needed?

Some people say 4, some people say only one and doesn't depends on maximum sockets - I think it depends on the individual pcb design -  in this case, do you have any plans?

(I know you have a lot of work to do, but this is very interesting - hope also I can order my bitburner XX soon )

GR8 NEWS burnin!
I love you`r work. Photos are awesome.

Cant wait to order a pice.

Maybe there could be things like these:

BitBurner X V2 (bitfury edition)
10 x 5 GH/s = 50 GH/s

BitBurner XX V2
20 x 5 GH/s = 100 GH/s

BitBurner XXL
xxx x 5 GH/s = xxxx GH/s

....cut
Then - for small to medium order amounts actual acquisition would be done to multiple locations using intermediaries who will do assembly, certification and will have end-user support for the devices. For bigger quantities it will be possible to get chips directly.
....cut

Perfect

anyone thinks this would be a bad solution for a custom watercooling block?



of course the last row of chips will be the hottest this way, but you could switch exit1 with 4, so the hot output stream will be next to the cold input, therefore cooling more equal. Plate is 25mm (could go down to 20, maybe less) and holes are 10mm

Of course it can be scaled down, because 20watt don't need that much waterflow. I'm just trying to find a good working and easy to make cooler

ok here we go:

burnin, do you plan on posting scope traces of actual Avalon signals?
Highly interested in the REPORT_x timing for starters.

And you are brave to dead bug a QFN48, hats off for that:)

Pack em and ship em!

Thanks for the incredibly great job! Keep going!

Can't wait for the bitfury boards! :X

[driksson]

Well done. Interesting choice of cabling! they do look a bit to hard for testing boards? Cant you easily rip the connections with these?

[culexevilman]

zefir had some extra chips so I ordered another 10 chips, how do I instruct zefir to route these 10 to you burnin?

thanks also major kudos on doing this for us.

You buy assembly in burnins shop that he opens once his miner works. Sign for his newsletter to get informed.

Perfect 

So the BitfuryBurner () devices will be orderer directly at burnin and they come with all the chips soldered on. i.e. no more group buys of chips and routing them to burnin?

[Foofighter]

Lets just do 1 thing after another..  The bitfury chips are not an actual topic right now, bitfury has to finish testing them and as we all know the first chips will get into the metabank Miners.

Burnin will definatly annouce something if its time, but first lets wait for the final Avalon chip based Miners and the website to come up.

[FlappySocks]

Have we got a firm date for the Avalon chips? Bitfury might come through first!

[Foofighter]

I think the best way is just let burnin finish the 1st generation of Avalon based Miners before talking here about 2nd generation, even if the bitfury chips may come first on the market.

But it makes no sense to stop developing 1 thing and just start another, although for what burnin said if his 1st generation Miner is finished, it isnt so much of a work to change things to Bitfury chips.. at least thats what i think from his comment.

This sounds like a logical evolution to me. But right, one thing after the other. Even though, probing available options in time, could have been one of the reasons why mankind is on top of the food chain right now  

[ummas]

It wont be logical in just one casa.
Bitfury chips comes sooner than avalon ones.
Why develop sommethink witch we cand get, and not to develop thing we have alredy.
I really worry about avalon chips.
Bet was easy - avalon come first, but now it`s not so clear as it was month ago :/

[Grinny]

@burnin: Did you manage to get a sample chip from BitFury? He's offering some in his thread...
