Looking at the pdf`s and terra`s photo of populated board https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=198489.msg2487159#msg2487159
Is probably enough to get me going so dont waste too much time on it..

Thanks for the link. I hadn't seen it yet.

I'm not sure they realise over there that this isn't going to plug in and mine right now. A lot of the code is present but it's not debugged and it will require quite a bit of work still to get it working as expected, not to mention there is no driver yet for cgminer. So the best case initially is using the ktest program to feed test data and getting any result nonces back.

I've been working today on a kslog utility which takes sharelog data from cgminer and decodes the merkle and midstate data so that suitable test data that is known to give a nonce result can be fed in with ktest. Also, this data is used for the chip detection algorithm so it's needed for completing the firmware. kslog is written and works but I have no idea if I got the endian swaps right. It outputs python and C syntax data statements to use in ktest and the firmware.

Quick/stupid question. Tried going thru kicad, is my understanding correct?
There are 4 outer holes for stacking the pcb, and 4 inner holes for mounting heatsink.
The gap between outer holes is 9cm and between inner holes is 8.5cm.
So if stacking vertically using hex spacers, the heatsink should not be bigger than 8.9 cm x 8.9 cm
^ Is this correct?

Also, whats the diameter of the holes? Would a M3 screw fit or we should use M2 ?
