Topic: [POLL] Single chip Avalon development board - Any interest? (Read 802 times)
no
Your board might possibly work with the just announced avalon v2. They claim it will be backwards compatible, but who knows if that will be true. I hate to give BitSynCom any more money, but perhaps this would be good for your boards!
Many thousands were shipped before all of this refund non-sense came up, so they are out there...
Are Avalon chips even available?
Introducing the HashBug development board!
I've been working on a single chip Avalon board good for debugging hardware or just experimenting with Avalon ASIC chips. Perfect for DIYers that need a way to get started. It has on board 1.2V and 3.3V regulators and room for a heatsink if needed. See below for renderings, the board is 3.4 in x 1.8 in.
The BOM only uses easy to get parts from Digikey or Mouser
I'm going to get a few of these made since I have 10 Avalon chips on hand, but I first wanted to see if anyone else would also like one. If we get enough interest, the boards would be about $6-$7.
And if there is enough interest in fully assembled boards, I might consider that too, but I'll have to crunch the numbers to figure out home much they might cost.
Given today's Avalon announcement, assuming their gen. 2 chips don't use a lot more power, these boards will also be compatible with those chips too.
I also plan on making a board for the BitFury chip, so stay tuned for that.
thanks,
