Out of curiosity do you think GAP should look to FPGA tech?
I have a idea that could be very interesting for those who mine bitcoin with ASIC's the controller boards seem to have embedded a Xilinx. XC7Z007S-1CLG225C ZYNQ chip (CLG225ABX1801) <-- Data sheet ref.
https://www.digikey.my/product-detail/en/xilinx-inc/XC7Z007S-1CLG225C/122-2002-ND/6593125What is there was a way to flash the controller boards with a Bitstream and have them work on GAP coin as a dual miner the ASIC part still mining bitcoin and the FPGA on the controller board used to connect to the gap network?
That thing is a simple 32-bit single core ARM Cortex-A9 666MHz SOC. It isn't an FPGA. It runs some kind of Linux kernel most likely and can be programmed just like any ARM chip. A Gapcoin miner can be integrated probably, but it will serve no practical purpose performance wise.
