Vancouver Hack Space

VHS has some powerful FPGA boards, on semi-permanent loan from Austin, that are old decommissioned bit coin miners. They are no longer useful for this, they cost substantially more in power than they generate!

What they are good is for simulating and benchmarking your own FPGA projects! Basically a prototyping platform for custom designs that can then be moved into cheaper platforms, or sent off for ASIC masking (please please someone do this).

• 4x Spartan 6 LX150 per board
• 8 boards total
• Ideally, a Raspberry Pi running as controller
