Regarding ztex support, is dynamic frequency scaling supported (like with BTCMiner)?
Yes. There are a few things missing still:
- support for quad boards (1.15y)
- suspend
- high speed bitstream upload
- hotplug
- firmware upload (to support hot upgrade and the new bogus firmware feature)
- Support for the latest firmware (120417, bitstream 15d4) - This is already done but waiting on inclusion on the main repository
All of the above will be addressed as time permits. You can use the latest firmware if you compile cgminer yourself, grab it here ->
https://github.com/nelisky/cgminer/tree/ztex-120417There is a lot more I want to do but I've been mining with ztex 1.15x boards on cgminer for roughly one month now and it works great
Great stuff !
Just let me know when I can flash my GPU BIOSes without using RBE and using only cgminer.
Also let me know when I can attach cgminer to my grill to cook me some eggs as well !
Too many features in cgminer will not be beneficial for anyone. cgminer is good for one thing : mining.
If you start also allowing it to flash FPGA bitstream and firmware then why not expand it to a household alarm monitor as well etc.
Look at BFL and their "easyminer" software. That is what every FPGA dev should develop instead of piggybacking onto cgminer with puny donations like 10 BTC.
