Topic: Can we make Avalon based ASIC? (Read 1171 times)
ah okay, as above, that is what many people try to do at the moment. burnin, us, etc. DIY
Do you want to design a new chip "ASIC" or design a miner from the avalon chips (0,282 GH/s) ?

How difficult it is to make an Avalon based DIY ASIC?
Do forgive me for sounding like a newbie - I tend to think of DIY as plug&play as long as you could find the right components & firmware - and I really want to know what would be the biggest challenge towards making a 50Gh/s + miner based off Avalon? Because it possible to buy Avalon based ASIC chips, it should be in theory possible for DIYers to make miners today - but is there anything preventing it from being done today?
What you could find today:
240 or 320 Avalon chips (282MH/s Avalon chips)
TP-LINK WR703N
PDU (should be easy to make?)
Extra parts: connector, fans, PSU, cooling
It's said that "communication protocol, reference board design provided in early May" for the DIYers - so basically the only thing the DIYers are waiting for is:
Control Unit (very challenging part?)

I've got a feeling I've over-simplified by a large margin - and left many important difficulty out - and would appreciate if someone could point some direction!
