I got a ztex 1.15y doing 67Kh/s scrypt

https://github.com/kramble

Have to say that kramble on litecointalk forum quit this project, but it works with cgminer 3.1.1 patch files included.

I will try to do some searching through the forums tomorrow, but I recently read a post of someone that was able to get a few select FPGAs mining scrypt.....

I was hoping someone made a bitstream for something else other than SHA-256 and scrypt mining for a BitForce or X6500.

I haven't spent any time trying to reverse engineer it, but for most applications it's not very useful since very few of the IO pins are available.  Further, the JTAG has been disabled although that's only a quick fix.

TL;DR:  (IMO) The hardware configuration is limiting.  It'd make more sense to have the FPGA's reballed and put onto a proper dev board.

They make a nice paperweight.

yeah but it's the noisiest paperweight I have  Smiley

Has anyone created bitstreams for alternate usages? Mining or not?
