Hi Geeks,
I have tried to synthesize the miner ASIC using opensourceFPGA project source code.
Now I have finished the first synthesizing working flow( running for 18 hours!) and I would like to share the result. Any comment is welcome!
It seems the area and power consumption are toooo high compared with commercial chips.
Library: 0.18um standard digital CMOS
Fully unrolled design, 1clk/hash.
