Re: [Work in progess] Burnins Avalon Chip to mining board service
I have a question for burning or anyone who can answer me.... (one more 
)
Could the OP show us some picutres of the prototypes? Something more real than a render of the "future rig" I trust in this person but I think if he upload some pictures for us woould be a great thing, more tangible thing...
Thanks¡¡

They do not exist yet.
They will be created from scratch by the end of this month, beginning next month first as renders, then as smaller prototype boards to test the chip communication first.
Once the designs allow for chip communication to occur and the prototypes basically work, THEN you create prototypes to put 10-20 chips on. That will be end of next month probably. You will likely then get your picture.
You see, if you get a picture before people have chips (Hello, BFL), then there is a lot of probability that this is not going to be a board you are using...
Correct, in the current stage i test the firmware builds on a evaluation board.
When I receive the demo chips I'll build real prototypes. (and show the pictures)
Hopefully this will not take until end of next month.
Great,
Other thing, imagine that there is no problem assembling the board. Someone still has to develop software for it? like drivers or something?

Its my understanding that burnin will program the firmware to emulate a regular Avalon. From there you can use the usual suspects (cgminer or whatever) to mine.
100% Correct, and it seems to work good so far.
The precomputation should only take microseconds on my controller.
