since im quite new to fpga's can someone point me in the right direction on a step by step of what i need to do to set my cairnsmore 1 up for blakecoin mining?

there are some basic notes for x3prog for cm1 in this thread but its a bit buried when I get some spare time will link it atm working on pool code to add UMO to merge

Question, I am mining on blakecoin.com. I have found all the wallets for merged coins EXCEPT  blakecoin... is it the same wallet as blakebitcoin? or is the same wallet shared? When I download the blakecoinwallet from github, it appears to be the same as the blakebitcoin already installed...help me get clear on this one lol

THX

check my github or see the OP Blakecoin is not same as Blakebitcoin

Have a question on programming with a xilnx using impact.

How can I perminatly flash a Cairnsmore 1  with the blake bitstream

I have managed to flash 5 of them using xc3sprog but I have two more that will not flash using xc3sprog.

I am able to flash them with impact and they are hashing but am looking for a permanent solution so I can move my last 2 cm1's into the rack with the others. I have been reading through post's hoping to figure this out when I have free time for a few months now.


I have permanently flashed my Lancelot dual spartan6's with impact and they are hashing great.


Any help would be appreciated.


thanks

using iMpact

when you assign the file it will ask if you want to attach a SPI/BPI PROM select yes - then pick the mcs file above and click open - Select: SPI PROM, M25P128, 1 and click ok

just program the flash it does take awhile much longer than just programming the FPGA itself 5-10mins per flash * 4

now if you power cycle the CM1 the Blake bitstream will be loaded every time  Grin

I dont use xc3sprog I just use the program cable and iMpact as that is what is easy for me

Hope that helps

Hey everyone, I thought it would be fun to see if the blake256.cl kernel could be optimised even more than it currently is.  Here is my first attempt - it gives very small gains (about 0.2-0.4% improvement) but they are measurable for me at least.

https://gist.github.com/Griffitsj/55349ccee17bbf87ffd5

To use it you need to replace the blake256.cl file in your cgminer directory and delete all the .bin files.  This only works with the 3.7.2 cgminer release for blakecoin by the way (windows + linux)

In case you are interested I performed 2 separate optimisations - (i) removing variable initialisations and (ii) removing XOR (^) operations.  I really should have tested both optimisations independently, but I am positive that removing the XOR operations increased the performance but not so sure about removing the variable initialisations.  There may be further optimisations I can make which I will look into as and when time permits and I feel motivated to do so.
