Is the 550 MH/s bitstream compatible with Icarus?

Bull shit. You are full of bull shit.
It's better to check what have already been said about Artix 7 expansively on the forum before  showing  just a search on Vikipedia.
>> low power performance requirements of battery-powered portable ultrasound equipment, commercial digital camera lens control, and military avionics and communications equipment<<
Here we are talking of Ghash/s not  digital camera lens etc..

For your info read this as an example from somebody working for a large company that is a huge user of Xilinx FPGAs

[However, based on this pricing Xilinx has shown us for the Virtex 7 devices, I would expect the low volume price of the V7 2000 device (their largest ever) to be at least $10,000 in low volume.  The low volume price for the largest V6 device right now is over 12k.  I'd guess once the V7-2000T finally goes in to production, even if you could get the deep discounts, you'd probably have to pay 3-5k each.]

I know who you are. You are a spammer with nothing in your hand only bubbles. Even a monkey watching your site and the pictures can understand that.

Now go back to sale Stevia Rebaudiana Seeds from Paraguay somewhere else.

Nobody here is so stupid to buy a share  of your ghost company and we like Bitcoin not Stevia Rebaudiana Seeds.
Stop trolling and spamming in this serious thread.

The Artix-7 family delivers 50 percent lower power and 35 percent lower cost compared to the Spartan-6 family and is based on the unified Virtex-series architecture. Xilinx claims that Artix-7 FPGAs deliver the performance required to address cost-sensitive, high-volume markets previously served by ASSPs, ASICs, and low-cost FPGAs. The Artix family is designed to address the small form factor and low power performance requirements of battery-powered portable ultrasound equipment, commercial digital camera lens control, and military avionics and communications equipment

According to my sources Artix7 (28nm) evaluation versions are allready out on the market and will be fully avalable early next year. The price depends on the casing and features of the chip. (Of course i cant talk about other markets then DACH) but avarage pricing for the comercial grade will be around 200 dollar.

Its not nice to write in a such offensive way, since you dnt seems to have any clou who i am. Of course i promote the GLARI mining project it will use Lancelot boards and we fully stand behind the development of ngzhang.
Instead of arguing that the Artix7 is the wrong chip for the mining purpose and you would suggest an other one, you just attack - that doesnt show yourself in a good light ChiangYay

You don't know what Artix 7 is and how much it cost.
 
You are just a spammer using this thread to market your GMP B.S.

I doubt that BFL will come up with a ASICS anytime soon, in my opinion thats just a marketing strategy. Even if they would come up with ASIC - the next generation FPGA (28 nm) is allready on the market (You know if the ASICS will be merged mining capable?).

Thats why the GMP https://cryptostocks.com/securities/9 will work with boards that incoroporates Spartan 6 or even Artix 7 the bitstream problem will be solved, the hardware design of Lancelot looks great and is very usable, aswell as the fact that Lancelot is an open project BFL is not.

I  think the point is:
if ngzang can not come up with an ASIC project soon he will be out of the market in about 8 months like all the others FGPAs producers.
I'm very sorry for him because I'm a big fan and I would be happy see a ngzang ASIC.
It would be nice if the community could help him to find a financier instead of pushing him to hurry in a project without hope, he will waste only money and time.
I'm sorry if I disappoint anyone with my post but the strategy of BFL is working.

Dexter you are also saying "Perssonaly I buy it only becuse it can be used for something else"
In other words he should produce in hurry a device that will not be competitive , and that will ruin him, so you could use it for something else.
Good luck.

If this is only a bitstream issue i sugest to start selling without bitstream for those that want to order development version. They will easy download bitstream later. And now loded it with Icarus bitstream.
It's really not long when BFL wil release their ASIC's so this project needs to be realesed very soon. Other way only few person will buy it. Perssonaly I buy it only becuse it can be used for something else and I have few projects in my work where FPGA's can have their jobs to be done.
Development boards costs enormous amount of money so Lancelot is real candy on the cake.
ngzang HURRY UP.
