Folder name is AD10 so best guess is Altium Designer 10. CLOCK&GPIO.SchDoc seems to be broken, only 11kB and its empty. Also, there's no such page in PDF.

I m happy to hear your making progress in finalising towards the first batch.
Waiting for the chance to expand my fpga mining equip.
The files he published seem to have been created by "Altium Designer".
A really good professional piece of software.

Thanks ngzhang ! 
By the way,what software do you use for PCB layout?

WOW thanks for all the design information !
Is this the most complex and the only fully opensourced hardware FPGA mining borad?
i need your sustain

all pcb design files released.
380M mining code is under test. this code is using MR. ZTEX's "sha256.v"
work queue implemented, real speed 20% increased.
pre-order will start soon....

Great, I'm waiting for that documentation before I'll decide to buy. I'm electronic engineer so its important factor to me.
November 26, 2011, 03:46:22 AM
hi there.
i'll come home in 1 day. so everything will continue after i reached home. all docs will release soon
November 20, 2011, 12:02:11 PM
Looking forward to 25 and 26 November.
25 = BFL magical unicorn = fake
26 = Icarus real PCB = real
Are there any more dense / powerful models in the pipeline ? Thanks !

Very cool and I am very interested. You said before you will be sending out the specs/design soon so we can check this out before we buy? Will you be able to do discount volume? Will you ship internationally?
Thank you!
Thank you!
all docs will announce @ 11/26.
first batch is only 10 of them, so at present there is no discount volume.
shipment is internationally.

I hear that! I am interested in your product and watching this thread!
Will this work out of the box on a windows computer? Thanks

yeah, admitting that Icarus is designed for developers and hardcore miners, but it is configed as a open-box-can-use product. only need install the USB-UART driver and a TCL environment.

I'm also considering to buy one. But have few doubts. You claim that first batch buyers will get xilinx programming cable (clone I supose) and ISE 13.2 right?
What about upgrading ISE, it will be possible in future? When A7 arrives I wanted to experiment with them and fully licensed ISE will be necessary. For now ISE 13.3 supports XC7A8 & 15 but it requires licence (what kind I don't know). Can you check that is possible to upgrade and synthesize something for Atrixes?
Do you release schematics for board? I would like to look at it, before decide to buy.

do not ask too much about the ISE software please,
the SCHs will release @ approx. 11/26. when i came back home.
Guess you are timing it with the BFL realease on Nov 25 then ? Nice. Competition is good between FPGA producers.
sorry, i do think BFL are scamers. so i never regard BFL as competitors.

all data about Icarus will make public when the pre order started, include all SCHs, ISE projects, etc
I guess that answers at least a part of your questions.

Hello everybody
Lets hope the A7 wil get to us soon;)
Might bring uns some exiting next generations of FPGA boards.
@ ngzhang
I send you am PM.I would like to get one of your first batch boards.

why not i go to registration a new ID and start a new project like this ?
Unfortunately A7 is almost 1 yr away from what I've heard.

how to compete with scammers?
Take the GH number they're promising and double it at the same cost & power.
Promise a 13-20 week ship date allowing you to use 28nm engineering sample FPGAs.
Then, start charging credit cards for pre-orders right away, and send the buyers a couple pics of empty PCBs
so they don't dispute the charge before the cutoff. Congratulations, now you are a proper Bitcoin scammer!

YES. a XC7A200T is very possible to reach 400MH/s, and the cost is seems equal to XC6SLX150. with FBG package, heat dissipation also can be easily handled.
