The first project entry will be a Bitcoin Miner. This design will be based off the
github reference design that uses the sha256_transform. The FPGA`s will be Spartan-3e Starter Kit, ML505 and ML506. As always with most designs, the objective will be to pack as much of the sha-256 transform into these small fpga`s at the highest operating frequency and lowest power consumption for cost savings.
Below is the project RoadMap, ultimately build a parrallel hasher platform running the ML505 and ML506 at the same time. The stretch will be to try running the platform from Raspberry Pi or Embedded Linux for lower power consumption.
In the future the platform can be migrated to a
Parallella Board with ARM/Zynq.
