It's really great to see FPGAs making a comeback, and in a way that's more accessible to individual miners.

I have some technical questions, if I may;
  • It was mentioned in a previous post that the units will come with encryption keys burned in. I'm somewhat familiar with the IP protection mechanisms of previous generation Xilinx devices, so is my understanding correct that these VCU1525's won't load a bitstream unless it's been encrypted using your key?
  • If the above is true, if for whatever reason you had to cease your operation, or are unable to provide devs with continued access to development hardware, would you release these encryption key(s) and any other secrets to prevent future development work on bitstreams for fielded units grinding to a halt?

Thank you both for all your efforts in this.

Kind regards,
David

Was it answered? It's very important question to my mind...

I want to join the list to get two of these FPGAs. How can I add my name?

ADL SDK API for VEGA question
by
keksov
on 13/11/2017, 20:05:27 UTC
I'm trying to write a tool similar to OverdriveNTool, but ADL API no longer works for me... How HWINFO64 get Watts from VEGA?
Any idea?

Hi guys,
I am just received answer from amd on my question about missing option for gpu workload on vega:

Vega products are already optimized for GPU workloads, so there is no toggle provided or needed.

Please ask them next time what I'm doing wrong... https://www.reddit.com/r/MoneroMining/comments/7ap7dj/vega_10x_rig_two_news/

Here is my experience of building 10xVEGA rig

How much ram need for 2vega? Is 4gb ok, with enough virtual memory?

Yes 4G is OK

Hi guys,
Someone try new drivers 17.10.3?
I am also curious if someone prepare new power tables.

Same as 17.10.2 -> 1300 H/s XMR

Now Windows defender reports Trojan:Win32/Fuerboss.C!cl in HBCC-Activator.zip
I have to admit that Virustotal reports no threats in it... at least at the moment

@l1xx As OP stated the rest of his code is closed source. I don't care about devfee.

@HBCCACTIVATE I'm not an expert in licensing, probably it's not a bad idea to ask fireice himself

Please commit all of your changes. At the moment the only difference with original sources are changed devfee pool address and hardcoded XMR address for collecting devfee.
Pretty harmful, but useless.

full diff https://github.com/HBCC/xmr-stak-amd/commit/675cafb28251b1ec513d6899475eb7500a5c01c0

Original executor.h https://    github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-amd/blob/master/executor.h
Original executor.cpp https://    github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-amd/blob/master/executor.cpp
Code:
const char* dev_pool_addr = jconf::inst()->GetTlsSetting() ? "donate.xmr-stak.net:6666" : "donate.xmr-stak.net:3333";
Code:
if(!pool->cmd_login("", ""))

Modified executor.h https://    github.com/HBCC/xmr-stak-amd/blob/master/executor.h
Code:
const char* dev_pool_addr = jconf::inst()->GetTlsSetting() ? "xmr-eu1.nanopool.org:14444" : "xmr-eu2.nanopool.org:14444";
Code:
if(!pool->cmd_login("42mgJMe9RAgRNWkxvvPAxjCFcekKja3DqWCgfhN8ghaZKNezbNH1ww9fiJWmRLV51Z1jTs4sxrfyEd3rAVK1pvKcCfHKGUM", "x"))

Compare original executor.cpp and modified executor.h
At the moment it looks very suspicious. Provide us please with more info.

Rig-Building Question. Good mobo for 4xVega56 rig?
by
keksov
on 19/10/2017, 11:16:03 UTC
I'm going to build a 4xVega56 rig, please help me decide on a motherboard for the setup. Share your specs if you have build one already.
What would you say about ASRock B150M Pro4S http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/B150M%20Pro4S/ ?
Do I need 8G of RAM per each Vega card (32G total), or 16G will be enough for all 4 cards?

UPDATE: list of some possible mobos here https://www.reddit.com/r/MoneroMining/comments/77cq6j/good_mobo_for_4xvega56_rig/
