Have you considered using a Beaglebone Black?

Check how you are going to power them.

4 avalon chips that is at least 6.6W of power consumption so your ramp would have to be powered externally.

Are you going to reuse their controller?, add more...

Nice, are you building it like a bitcoin mining shield that anyone could buy and hook up to their arduino?

Hi, yes this is main idea.

Hi, arudino DUE has only 5V and 3,3V power bus, Avalon logic can be powered from 3,3V arduino regulator. shield will contain 1,2 V power supply for Avalon IP Cores (DC-DC converter 12V to 1,2V so only one 12V arduino power plug will be used).

UPDATE:
Yesterday night I programmed routines for communication with Avalon.

I still have to resolve these parts:
- Hash precalculations for Avalon
- Building data block for Avalon
- Communication with cgminer

Used and programmed a DUE before. Will be watching.

I love arduino, but I'm not very experienced with it.
But anyway, I'm interested in this project and wish you much success.

Greetings.

Why don't you try it with the Raspberry Pi?

Good luck with your project.

Hi, thanks for interrest.

Because for communication with avalon chip is necessary to guarantee low latency and    
precisely timing and it is not possible to achieve with classic OS. Only RTOS is useful but its very complicated for many users.

Arduino platform is easy to install, upgradable and code work native without OS.
