FGPA Gerber Files

[Nivco]

I have the opportunity to produce FGPA, so documentation is key.
Also a good start to see how open source is the FGPA community.

Any Gerber Files for FGPA ? based on Spartan 6 (XC6SLX150) or others...

Thanks

At the moment, nobody has published free/open gerbers for an FPGA miner. Schematics are available for Icarus though.

Is this still the case?  no gerber file available for experimentation?

look at lancelot boards there all is opensource

It sounds like you want to check out Icarus and Lancelot at https://github.com/ngzhang.  For the PCB there is more information than the PDF as there are also .SchDoc file - I don't know this filetype but from googling it looks like it is the file type for creating a PCBs in Altium.

all fascinating reading, couldn't locate any gerber files sadly though..

are there any gerber files in circulation now 6 months down the line from the original post?

The board itself is around $50, some companies offer free or almost free pick and place service if you order some decent qty. FPGA is expensive, it is possible to get volume discounts if you go bulk. You can buy a ton of used FPGA chips on ebay do chip recovery

before I ask this question, I will first apologise for being a philistine..

could someone link me to the specific gerber file for lancelot?  I have the link to the github but am unsure which is which file.  i'm new to this PCB business.
