Hi,

I am trying to mine blakecoin using a Lancelot board. Am I correct in thinking I need to do the following:

1. Use impact utility to flash the Lancelot board - this requires a JTAG programmer.
2. Mine with modified cgminer

Am I missing anything here? Can anyone point me in the direction of instructions to build the Jtag Cable?

I have managed to successfully mine using my 7950 rig.

Thanks.

I have a few lancelots I would like to use with blakecoin.
Should I use blakefourbufce-2core-ucf146-fmax154.bit?
Do I just flash in iMPACT as usual?
And which software should I use to mine?

Yes that's the one. You have a choice of two miners:

A python miner from https://github.com/kramble/FPGA-Blakecoin-Miner/tree/master/MiningSoftware (just follow the README instructions).

A customised cgminer 3.1.1 from https://github.com/kramble/FPGA-Blakecoin-Miner/tree/master/cgminer/cgminer-3.1.1 - you will need the Lancelot version (see link at the bottom of the README), or if compiling from source on linux, you need to uncomment LANCELOT_52 at the top of driver-icarus.c

Good luck with it

(EC with Blue, sorry)

Can't help with the cable building but, I did find one for cheap. Page #84 in this thread talks about the FPGA options. Cheers!
