I am interested in trying my hand at creating yet another FPGA cluster hasher, with each cluster connected via a single USB connection to the host (rather than 1 per FPGA).
I've looked at the Cairnsmore 1, Ztex, and Icarus drivers; each one has hard-coded some of the idiosyncrasies of those particular devices. I'm wondering if there is something like a generic CGminer driver skeleton I could fill in / develop against.
Is there a simple block of code that easily links with CGminer, passes up the relevant info from the device chain (estimated duration of one hash-cycle iteration, number of hashes completed per cycle) to the main miner program on initialization, downloads base header data and range to be hashed against from the miner to the device with each getwork or stratum fetch, receives proof of work from the device to send to the mining pool, and sends an interrupt to the device when assigned work becomes invalid?
Given the proliferation of mining devices, there's almost a need for a "miner driver" specification just like the old "packet driver" specification back in the days of Win32s enabling Win3.11 to connect to the internet, so that the people creating the new mining devices would be responsible for driver creation, rather than the mining stack software creators.
Thanks, -Tom
+1 Trying to do the same with an Arduino Leonardo acting as controller of several devices.

Creo que este hilo deberia ser para la COMPRA en grupo (como dice el titulo), no para los que NO compran, me parece muy razonable tu decision de no comprar cada uno hace con su dinero lo que quiere, pero el hilo no esta para eso, esta para los que SI compran y para resolver sus dudas.
La compra ya es "irreversible" digamos en cuanto a que hay un monton de gente que SI quiere comprar, y por 2 o 10 opiniones contrarias no se va a volver atras y mas cuando queda tan poquito para cerrar el pedido.
Asi no se llena de post que no aportan, digo yo eh...
Buen rollo ante todo.
Saludos
