Mining with FPGA?

[Gary Brigman]

Hi I was wondering if I would get this TUL PYNQ-Z2 with Xilinx XC7Z020-1CLG400C FPGA SoC could I use it as an ETH, XMR, and/or equihash - equihash 144_5 miner?

You wouldn't want to do this even if you got a hold of a miner recompiled for ARM.

Found some specs on;
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813457001

Dual-Core ARM Cortex-A9

The Cortex-A9 is a 650 MHz dual core chip with abysmal monero and Equihash mining performance.

Ethereum will be even more terrible to mine without a dedicated graphics card.


Without even doing the math I can tell it will cost more in electricity than the "profit" it would make.
