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) provide their own toolchains (OpenCL High-Level Synthesis Compiler). You can benifit from the example build script I made for Intel Altera toolchain on 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 comparible with the requirements of the toolchain and what levels of OpenCL does it support. 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:
