How does cgminer know how to use the asic? It doesn't need any extra programming or drivers? (I'm honestly asking because I don't know. )
As I've stated before, Xiangfu wrote the Avalon driver module for cgminer.
It was interesting to see in the #btcfpga IRC channel, Luke-Jr saying he had images of the inside of the Avalon.
So any customers hoping to see them - I guess that a complete - "fuck you" from Avalon.
They don't give a shit ... ... ... or they still haven't got the software working and wanted Luke-Jr's help.
I wonder which it is?
looks like 5 rows of 16 ASIC chips per board, and 3 boards per Avalon
...
just looking at some pictures of the internals
...
16 long by 5 high, per board
So that's 250MH/s per chip to get 60GH/s ... though it was Luke-Jr so who knows how reliable that info is.
