Is there a name listed in some online-shops for this one? or just self-soldered?!

Would something like this be of interest?



I could put it up on Bitmit for you. It would be 1 BTC with free shipping.

Such a thingy can save you the hassle of ruining your USB thumbdrive and it has 2 USB ports!

Buffalo WRZ-HP-AG300H-EU
uses around 40MB-Ram openwrt+miner
(i didn't get it running on my linksys wrt54gl because of to few diskspace)

install openWRT

opkg update
opkg install python
opkg install libncurses
opkg install libncursesw
opkg install libusb

rmmod ftdi_sio
python miner.py

bitstream was already installed, will try installing bitstream over openwrt later

Truncated and thanks!!

my mining setup is one "WZR-HP-AG300H"
costed me ~90€

and arm uses less power then atom Wink

i use MPBM with X6500
Can you explain briefly what you did?



firsted i installed openWRT
seconed => https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.736208

it works fine with X6500, there is progress on icarus and ztex, but i am not following them because at the moment i only have one X6500

Besides the fact that it is almost impossible to get because the pre-order line is so long, yes that is an awesome little computer. I have the single core version, and it runs like a dream.

We add finally ztex FPGA module, you should install silentblocks or silicone caps to amortize the vibrations of the fan. The power connector is directly connected to the ATX power supply.

All equipment consumes 35W and generates 208 mh / s

I do understand one may need a computer to manage loads of FPGAs,
but these don't have to be power efficient when the point is having 10ghs+ worth of FPGAs.

What kind of crap-ass PSU have you gotten ? doesn't look even 80+

The next update will connect a USB FPGA module directly to the motherboard,

Step 1 : build a pc
Step 2 : build fpga module,
Step 3 : plug in usb

Why is it I only want details of step two ?

While waiting for the project is completed rph FPGA cluster, I set up an ultra low cost pc.
Surely the price will vary depending on which site you may be, these prices are in Barcelona.





Mini-ITX Atom D525: 75,95 €
RAM SODIM 2gb: 15,34 €
PowerS ATX 500w: 11,80€
USB Flash 8gb 9€

http://youtu.be/1QvpH0Kk17k

Also I put a video on how to build your own DiskOnModule Flash SSD for 9 €

The equipment is controlled remotely by VNC, so you do not need any monitor installed which further reduce the cost.

The next update will connect a USB FPGA module directly to the motherboard, using the internal connector pins and feeding directly from the ATX.

Greetings.
