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

[dani]

Burnin is absolutely good in time and chips seem to be delivered sooooon 

can you elaborate that?

yes, I cant wait for them...

Burnin-

I know everything is subject to change...but as the board is configured today, is the USB connector a Mini-B port or a Micro-B port?

Thank you for all your hard work!

When i said future versions I meant the production version, done some improvements to the design based on the prototype.
If that enables us to have them running at 450mhz - more test required.
I will do more extensive tests tomorrow, when I've fitted the production heat sink (which arrived yesterday).

Thank you Sir.

EMC test passed in the first go .
Officially compliant to EN55022 A, measured at TÜV-Nord.
That's not easily achieved with a naked board with huge dc/dc converters like this one.
Those who ever had to pass an emission tests can testify that.

I just realized that you achieved 341 Mhz without heatsink. Wow!

Is this true?  Or was he running a prototype/alternative heatsink perhaps?

He was running with a prototype heatsink 
Dont think this would be posible without any.......

Another question to burnin:

I ordered several chips for me and a friend. Can I pay seperately for two orders? Also one in btc and one with bank-wire? (i live in germany )

Hi Burnin,

maybe send me your shipping adress via PM - I should get some BFL sample chips & want to forward it to you just for testing purposes.
As we have too Avalon chips for 80 Bitburners (20x) we want to see some professional guy testing with our sample BFL chips. Maybe your tests & ideas will lead to constructive plans for a board or a project.

+1 - YOU are the best  

[g83]

Maybe Burnin could make a design for BFL and send it back to them :-)

[Min€r]

Haha, we just too joked this moment about it.

Maybe he will find time to design a final board between bathroom & breakfast. But don`t want to spam this thread with BFL & just wanted to inform him.
So please keep this thread clean guys 

[blowme]

it is ready to ship??

[lenny_]

it is ready to ship??

Please read previous pages before asking such dumb question. Chips hasn't been delivered yet.

Good news.

Is the watercooling made of copper or aluminum? Any thoughts on price range for that? Hope it's cheap.. otherwise you force me to do my own  

Aluminium, its optimized for cost. (2 Boards per cooler)
It will be around 50eur, 10 to 15 eur more then with air cooling per board.


Regarding the release of the sources:
I am going to release them when the first units reach the customers.
Have to recuperate the development- and running costs.  

Paypal is problematic but i'll risk it with them.
To stop my EU-Customers from choosing it over normal wire transfers:
Order date/time will (within reason) now be the determining factor (within a batch).

Quick question, what will be missing when we order water cooled boards?

Pump, radiator and radiator fans, anything i am missing?

maybe a small coolant reserve tank to get the air out and for easy refilling. (fittings, hose).

Will ordering the watercooling cause any delays in shipping speed? Is the production level able to cover the amount of orders expected?

Thats something i think too. When burnin really can create 2000 miners a week or so, and the waterblocks allow a good overclocking, im sure they are taken fast. And i doubt they can be produced as fast as burnin creates miners.

Believe me there is no problem 2000 solid ALu blocks to be machined and drilled with threads in a week.
Even a small shop with 2 CNC machining centers is able to do this.

Ok, that sounds good then. I guess when its really onle 10€ more than the fan-solution and overclocking gives a slight advance with it... most of the buyers will have such thing.
Though im not sure yet because it would most probably limit were one could host it. At datacentres i mean.
