I now have a  bitfile for the atlys board (spartan 6 - lx45) with depth:=2 and 50mhz

The only problem is, that miner.py refuses to communicate over the serial port.
It detects the core, but when it starts "Measuring FPGA performance..." it produces and timeout: "Timed out waiting for FPGA to accept work"

@TheSeven: any idea how to debug or solve the problem? is the miner.py code working for all depths and frequencies?
You'll need to adjust the pin locations for clk_in, rx and tx in the UCF file, and adjust the clock divider for the serial port for the 50MHz frequency.
Replace "10000010001" with "0110110010" and "11000011001" with "01010001011" in uart.vhd.
And I should probably publish the new version of my miner, it now supports multiple pools, long polling, etc. Smiley
