Windows version please!
+1 for win version
Merged in Luke-Jr's work on poclbm. I put it on a different branch in my fork: https://github.com/progranism/poclbm/tree/with-luke-jr-mods
Seems to work just great

Works great for me.
Yay!Quote
It's also possible to clone fpgaminer's poclbm-phatk git repo, then merge luke-jr's branch for better console output into it.
Thank you for checking that! I was going to look into luke-jr's branch as well, so I could get a good figure on the # of stales I'm getting. Since you've confirmed the merge is simple, I'll try doing that soon.Quote
Sadly it causes a kernel trap after a few minutes of work, I'm using it onto a LinuxCoin pc with two 5850s which has been working ok with phoenix (apart from the hang problem) for more than three weeks.
Woah, weird. Have you ever run poclbm on that machine before?Quote
This is interesting and yeah, how do we make this work? A simple guide maybe? Thanks!
Linux or Windows?On Linux you just:
Code:
git clone git://github.com/progranism/poclbm fpgaminer-poclbm
And then use it like a regular version of poclbm.
For Windows ... well ... I'd have to get PyOpenCL and stuff up and running and see if I can package something together.
Works great for me. I actually had the same idea a few days ago, but was too lazy to actually look into it.
Hashrate is about the same. (Maybe only 283mhash/s instead of 284mhash/s.)
It's also possible to clone fpgaminer's poclbm-phatk git repo, then merge luke-jr's branch for better console output into it. There's 1 conflict that can easily be solved by using luke-jr's version of the code.
edit: What I actually wanted to say is: "[..]merge luke-jr's branch for better connectivity issues handling into it.". Sure, it has better console output, but that was not the reason why I merged his branch.

Thanks!!

I'm already thinking of killing + restarting phoenix every 10 minutes... would loose me less time than it already has with these lockups! 
Let me know if it works okay. I've been running it since I posted and so far none of the instances have failed. However I haven't measured stale share ratio yet; I was getting 0.1% with the old version of phoenix I had which was very nice.

And when it traps I have to power-cycle the pc.
best regards.

Super noobie question here... 
How do I make this work? Do I just drag and drop to the poclbm folder?
Because am seeing no difference when I drag and drop the phatk files...

I have had a lot of trouble with phoenix. The biggest issue being that it oftens gets stuck on "[0 Khash/sec] blah blah" and never reconnects to the server. This is especially bad when I have torrents running, even when I limit torrent traffic. The only reason I put up with it is because phoenix supports the phatk kernel, which gets me an extra 20MH/s per card.
Well, I got tired of it, so I forked poclbm and hacked it to support phatk. Here's my fork:
https://github.com/progranism/poclbm
So far so good, poclbm is happily running without any issues whereas my phoenix instances are freezing up
MH/s is about the same. 339 MH/s instead of the 340 MH/s I get on phoenix. Close enough.
Lemme know if this helps anyone else.

Thanks so much, I have the very same issue with phoenix getting stuck and making me lose hours of mining (even running several copies for each gpu is not enough since all one of them can hang if left running long enough).
I'm going to test this right now.

sweet, will testdrive it
