+ZTEX FPGA Boards
|
|
|
|
|
+----------------
|
|
|
|
|
+http://www.ztex.de sells two boards suitable for mining: the 1.15x with 1 FPGA and the 1.15y with 4 FPGAs.
|
|
|
|
|
+ZTEX distributes their own mining software and drivers. BFGMiner has full support for these boards. To get
|
|
|
|
|
+started, you'll need to install the Java JDK version 6 or later.
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+--- Windows ---
|
|
|
|
|
+Upon first powering up and connecting the board via USB, windows will attempt and fail to find the
|
|
|
|
|
+appropriate drivers. To load the initial firmware on the board, you'll need the EZ-USB FX2 SDK from here:
|
|
|
|
|
+http://www.ztex.de/downloads/#firmware_kit. Extract the firmware kit and use the driver within libusb-
|
|
|
|
|
+win32/ztex.inf. Windows should now recognize the board and you're ready to program it. Grab the latest
|
|
|
|
|
+miner jar from http://www.ztex.de/btcminer/#download and program the appropriate dummy firmware for your
|
|
|
|
|
+board. The command should look something like (for a single FPGA board):
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+java -cp ZtexBTCMiner-120417.jar BTCMiner -m p -f ztex_ufm1_15d.ihx -s 01-02-01
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+At this point, you're ready to mine with ZTEX's miner. However, if you'd like to use BFGMiner, you'll have
|
|
|
|
|
+to swap the USB drivers. The BFGMiner compatible WinUSB drivers for the board can be generated with this
|
|
|
|
|
+tool: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwdi/files/zadig/. Basic usage instructions for Zadig can be found
|
|
|
|
|
+here: https://github.com/pbatard/libwdi/wiki/Zadig. Once Zadig generates and installs a WinUSB driver,
|
|
|
|
|
+ensure everything is working by running:
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+bfgminer -D -d? -T
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+You should see something like this in the output:
|
|
|
|
|
+[2013-01-22 20:19:11] Found 1 ztex board
|
|
|
|
|
+[2013-01-22 20:19:11] ZTX 0: Found Ztex (ZTEX 0001-02-01-1)
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+Now you're ready to mine. It's usually useful to mine with the -D -T options and watch for ZTEX related
|
|
|
|
|
+messages.
