So is it a FPGA or ASIC? Or it has gender identity crisis?
It should be FPGA since it support 2 algos. Just like other Baikals.
CryptoNight and CryptoNight-lite are basically the same things. An ASIC that works for CryptoNight will work for CryptoNight-lite without any additional hassle. They could've as easily not advertised CryptoNight-lite as they probably didn't need to add anything to what they created for CryptoNight initially.
