There is a tar.gz archive at Github in "software" folder. How to use it? Can it be flashed on SD card?

It was released for real, I've seen few used ones in sale here at the forum. |

At least the company was nice enough to leave their Github repo alive https://github.com/sfards/ASIC-SF3301Chip data sheets and schematics all there. |

Does anybody have a sfards sf100 that is working right now I am thinking about buying one cheap, I have read the last couple pages of the forum and was wondering how you ran yours? I have a silverfish up and running it was a pain setting up but finally got it I also have two hurricanes one has four boards the other has 5 I bought on eBay before I really knew much about this mining but don't use them anymore due to how much power the use and heat they produce.

I think you can run sfminer (available from their gitpage) on linux to hash with the boards. I never bought a sfards because I'm not sure. |

After trying for what seems like years, I finally got my hands on an SF100. (Yay...?)
The miner was shipped to me without the RPI, so I dont have any SD cards to image onto a new Pi.
If I load up a new Pi with Rasbian, and compile the miner source from the Git repo, can someone confirm that's enough to get one of these moving in the right direction?
I'm not sure if there's any software/firmware related to the breakout boards and their GPIO interface.
Thanks!

If you can compile the sfards miner source on rasbian it should be enough to get the cards hashing. You should also be able to connect them via USB to any linux box as long as you compile their miner software. Worst case scenario you have to find a way to operate minera(the wiibox controller) on your rasbian. If you run into any problems or have success please report back to us. Thanks. |

Is there a way to run this miner? Just interested in the scrypt mining.
Thank you.

There should be a way, but nobody is reporting back...
So we won't know without obtaining one for ourselves.

First off, thanks to carlosmnk for the RPi image.
After pulling it apart and dumping the redisdb file for credentials (wiibox:wiibox), I've got a working miner (with some quirks)
I've also to compiled the miner from github in an attempt to run USB straight from the serial breakout, but received the same "cannot open sfards port" error on each OS. This is different from the "cannot find sfards port" you will receive when trying to launch a nonexistant device.
I believe this is something related to the CP210x drivers, as the serial board uses an uncommon quad port PN.
They really are just giant versions of the USB Dualminers and Gridseeds of yesteryear.
Also worth noting, I've got two different hash board revisions across my three blades.
I'm traveling all week but will post detailed pics and a sanitized image with DHCP enabled when I'm back.
While these chips are too cool to completely ignore, i do see why they had to abandon the project.
The sheer number of parts it takes to build a hash board is staggering, especially considering that this miner was launched when both BTC/LTC prices were much lower, and had recently been through a nosedive to sub $400.
Damn shame.
Had to buy mine broken from Russia, they just never made all that many.
