Modified version of the OpenCL-ready Ethereum miner (etminer) with support for FPGAs (HW Accelerators).
- Make sure your FPGA supports OpenCL.
- Build this miner from its source using CMake. You can benifit from the special build scripts (e.g., scripts/build_windows.bat for Windows) or follow the original instructions from the forked Ethminer (here docs/BUILD.md).
- FPGAs dont build the OpenCL Kernels online and the kernels need to be built apriori. Each vendor (e.g., Intel Altera or Xilinx) provides its own toolchain (OpenCL High-Level Synthesis Compiler). You can benifit from the example build script I made for Intel Altera toolchain for the Terasic DE10-Pro card in (libethash-cl/kernels/cl/custom/s10_sh2e1_4Gx2/build.bat). Notice that you may need to slightly modify the OpenCL kernel to make it compatible with the requirements of the toolchain and its level-of-support for OpenCL standard. See my modified OpenCL kernel for Intel Aaltera / Terasic DE10-Pro card.
- Once the kernel is compiled, run the miner and pass the kernel binary to it. You may here also benifit from my launch script that runs on Intel Aaltera / Terasic DE10-Pro card.
- If things work for you, dont forget to donate ;)
The ethminer is a command line program. This means you launch it either from a Windows command prompt or Linux console, or create shortcuts to predefined command lines using a Linux Bash script or Windows batch/cmd file. For a full list of available command, please run:
