Is anyone using that bitstream on Ztex Singles? Would like to know if it is somehow usable
H:357/114,114,128 X:272 C:180,180,185 E:0/0,0,0 T:5m personal best, so far at least. You have all my envy spiccioli

I was thinking T:5m meant it ran for 5 minutes before failing. It ran stable, the T is the timeframe for the Error rates (which were 0). I should add, its a modified ztex single board.

"cafe babe" - wow. Much better than "dead beef", I think.
Yeah, I also think it beats the crass 0xB16B00B5 that Microsoft got in trouble for.

The printing press heralded the end of the Dark Ages and made the Enlightenment possible, but it took another three centuries before any country managed to put freedom of the press beyond the reach of legislators. So it may take a while before cryptocurrencies are free of the AML-NSA-KYC surveillance plague.

Right. The fact that the IDCODE is corrupted only sometimes -- and not other times -- is why I am dead-certain there are signal integrity issues here.

I have 10 boards and i don't think every board is broken
Well, I can guarantee you that something is very, very broken with your JTAG connection. It could be a board design flaw (ringing TCK is a very common problem), in which case you would expect it to appear on all 10 boards. It could be that your JTAG cable is defective (unlikely, but this too would explain the problem). It could be that something is quirky with the software driver for your JTAG cable. It could be that you're running the JTAG clock too fast ( you tried -Durjtag_tck_freq=10000, right?).

Been trying to get the code running on my ztex singe - but the above happens. From that point onward T:[nn]s just moves on till i kill it (about 5min later)... ANy ideas what might be wrong here?

Unfortunately in order to communicate with the ztex board over its proprietary USB interface, we have to rely on ztex's USB code. It is really, really buggy. I have quite a bit of evidence now that he seems to have debugged it just barely enough to make his miner work -- but left all sorts of other bugs. Mostly they seem to show up on windows. One suggestion is to try using Linux or MacOS for the mining host. However, a more effective solution is to ditch the proprietary USB interface and use the industry-standard IEEE JTAG protocol. The Altera USB Blaster is very well-supported by urjtag and you can find them $9 on ebay (including shipping!): http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=altera+usb+blaster

And I'm currently working on using the onboard FTDI chip for exactly this process. The code is improving and I hope to have it stable in around a week, but we will see!

Nachtwind: I reproduced your error on Win7 64 box. We tried a few tricks with jfsebastien but so far nothing.
VM might be one solution here.

@Elden Is it possible to cascade multiple FPGA's in a cluster using a single UrJtag compatible Interface ?
@kakobrekla "I should add, its a modified ztex single board." In which way was that board modified? Does it still use the same DC/DC setup for the core voltage of the XC6 ?
Regards
Phil

thanks Punin, so actually it's just overvolted The DC/DC for the core voltage on the boards from ZTEX are built for a max. continues current of around 8A @kakobrekla Did you ever measure the current drawn while running the ET bitstream on the speeds mentioned by you? Even a simple measurement on the 12V input can help us to roughly figure it out. Would really appreciate that Phil

Back in the old days, they used to hook up JTAG controllers to the parallel printer port... <wanders off into the distance, muttering about the old days when JTAG ports were still hooked up to LPT1: and a gallon of gasoline cost less than a buck>
