i am having a little trouble here. I had some experience in designing sha1 hash cracker on fpga, so this project caught my interest. When i downloaded the code and tried to compile it for S6 lx150, it took about an hour to just synthesize the code and then the software said i had overused my resources.. so i wanted to knw, where did i go wrong?...
Which project did you use?

For S6-LX150, this is probably the preferred project to start from:
https://github.com/progranism/Open-Source-FPGA-Bitcoin-Miner/tree/master/projects/LX150_makomk_Test
You'll want to adjust main_pll.v:98 to 5 for 50MHz, to make the compile easier and the firmware actually usable (assuming you have the S6-LX150T dev board) without cooling.
