wrong forum section.
Also this is no FPGA device and requires special software (probably not written yet) to do any kind of mining. It appears to me that it has a lot similarities to a GPU card, but without *a lot* of documentation about the design of the card and its programming model I don't see that you can use it for mining anytime soon :/
Topic: Ambric / Nethra Am2045 MPPA Dev fpga help (Read 1072 times)
hey i bought this borad its its like the fpga board but just more processing cores and was used for the fallowing just wondering if there is anyway to find out how to set this up for bitcoin mining here are some wiki specs The Am2045 device has 336 32-bit RISC-DSP fixed-point processors and 336 2-kB memories, which run at up to 300 MHz. It has an Eclipse-based integrated development environment including editor, compiler, assemblers, simulator, configuration generator, source-code debugger and video/image-processing, signal-processing, and video-codec libraries.
Power and Performance[edit]
The Am2045 delivers 1 TeraOPS (Operations Per Second) and 50 Giga-MACs (Multply-Accumulates per second) of fixed-point processing with 6-12W of power consumed (dependent on the application).
Applications[edit]
Ambric's MPPA devices were used for high-definition, 2K and 4K video compression, transcoding and analysis, image recognition, medical imaging, signal-processing, software defined radio and other compute-intensive streaming media applications, which otherwise would use FPGA, DSP and/or ASIC chips. The company claimed advantages such as higher performance and energy efficiency, scalability, higher productivity due to software programming rather than hardware design, and off-the-shelf availability.
Video codec libraries were available for a variety of professional camera and video editing formats such as DVCPRO HD, VC-3(DNxHD), AVC-Intra and others.
i was told it could be done but since i have only done gpu mining im new to fgpa setups any help is appreciated
