Where can I locate the function in one of the old miners source code to add interface to fpga processing? Or which mining software is the easiest to use as reference design (learning purposes)?
BFGMiner's device API is pretty straightforward.
u mean cgminer's lol
Yes, cgminer also uses the device API that I created for BFGMiner - though an older version.
is there proof that you did this API and not ckolvias?
Firstly, Luke-the-idiot is talking about the device api - that luke-the-idiot named the same as the RPC API so that such confusion is bound to happen sometimes.
No idea why he used the same name months after I wrote the RPC API and I called my API "API" from the start back in November last year
https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/commit/9671f0a22b6dba7ac1069aa3a19ceff688970e93Secondly, it's the lower case device api, NOT the upper case RPC API - yes he got that wrong.
Thirdly, it IS cgminer's device api - that was then copied to the other crappy miner
(yes luke-the-idiot was part of it's creation)
Here is the fork clone that Luke-the-idiot did to create his crappy clone:
https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer/commit/b9df56511c7bd1a2e1f075e9c184c1a4b0f1ba202012-04-26 Fork as BFGMiner
Here is one of the MUCH earlier commits for the device api in cgminer:
https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/commit/e0b0a6c03064e794199004a138f8e8af99ec2d122012-01-30 Modularize code: main.c -> device-cpu + device-gpu
Yeah ~3 months before the crappy clone existed.
... and just to throw in something extra
Here's a commit by me to cgminer to add something to both the RPC API and the device api ... that luke-the-idiot copied to his clone
https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/commit/9487ba05cdbed2f9135ab030e91b2a06cc4cbbfb2012-09-04 API/BFL identify a device - currently only BFL to flash the led
i.e. he pulled a device api change FROM cgminer to his clone ...
