Project: DiY ArduLonMinerThis HW will be based on Arduino DUE control unit with plugged Avalon rig board & ethernet shield. This miner is regular device whitch support direct connection to bitcoin pool ! http://i39.tinypic.com/o06viw.pnghttp://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/ArduinoDue_Front.jpgFeatures: -Fully opensourced HW and SW -Direct USB connection -Direct Bitcoin POOL connection (via ethernet shiled) -Easy software update via Arduino Studio -32Bit Arm Cortex M3 CPU Atmel SAM3 -3,3v operating voltage for direct chip to chip communication without Logic Level conversion -84Mhz operation frequency -Hashing power max. 9Gh/s - 3 Avalon modules -Arduino shiled: http://i39.tinypic.com/dgjqdj.pngWeb configuration: http://i44.tinypic.com/2vwzp6u.pngVideos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZJHI0_Yi5APlease note, this is my free-time project so if someone wants to support this project may send me some coins. Thanks.

Greetings.
Why don't you try it with the Raspberry Pi?
Good luck with your project.

Hi, thanks for interrest. Because for communication with avalon chip is necessary to guarantee low latency and precisely timing and it is not possible to achieve with classic OS. Only RTOS is useful but its very complicated for many users. Arduino platform is easy to install, upgradable and code work native without OS.

I love arduino, but I'm not very experienced with it. But anyway, I'm interested in this project and wish you much success.

Nice, are you building it like a bitcoin mining shield that anyone could buy and hook up to their arduino?

Used and programmed a DUE before. Will be watching.

Hi, yes this is main idea. Check how you are going to power them.
4 avalon chips that is at least 6.6W of power consumption so your ramp would have to be powered externally.
Are you going to reuse their controller?, add more..
Hi, arudino DUE has only 5V and 3,3V power bus, Avalon logic can be powered from 3,3V arduino regulator. shield will contain 1,2 V power supply for Avalon IP Cores (DC-DC converter 12V to 1,2V so only one 12V arduino power plug will be used). UPDATE:Yesterday night I programmed routines for communication with Avalon. I still have to resolve these parts: - Hash precalculations for Avalon - Building data block for Avalon - Communication with cgminer

Have you considered using a Beaglebone Black?

So, I had some time today.
UPDATE
- avalon communication (FINISHED but not tested yet). - Hash precalculations for Avalon (FINISHED) - Building data block for Avalon (clock configuration - FINISHED, nonce configuration FINISHED, data for avalon - IN PROGRESS) - Communication with cgminer - WAIT FOR IMPLEMENTATION

Awesome someone finally is doing this. When are you planning on making the source available? I would love to take a look.

I'd love to get my hands on a "mining shield" and Arduino sketch to experiment with.

great news, I'm wondering if you're able to set up everything correctly without having the avalon chip on hand. *dreaming about ordering this avalon shield before the chips arrive, beeing able to stick them on the board then by myself*

Code for miner is programmed by real AVALON A3256 asic chip datasheet.
