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.

Slander, did not send Luke any photos, nor we asked him for help.
Well that's interesting coz that picture above (not my quote) shows 16 x 5 chips per board ...

Like I quoted a week ago ...

So the chips in the Avalon are a bit above 250MH/s each (as was suggested a week ago)

Would that be hard copy?

Edit: this picture (sorry it was in the other thread)


... so those pictures did exist a week ago just no one wanted anyone to see them ...
