Hi there, I don't really know if this is going to be useful to anyone but anyway, In the last few days I have tried to include X11 compatibility into the popular mining software CGminer. I know I am not the only one, since PinIdea, iBeLink and all that Asic miner manufacturers have done so, however, none of them have released their source code (regardless of it being released under GPLv3) so I thought it would be interesting to give it a try, I'll be using it for a project, but I thought it would be nice to share it.
The thing is that since I don't have any miner (and I don't feel like writing a driver to support CPU mining) I am not sure if it works (but I release it anyway, How cool is that?), at least it compiles fine with no warnings (just one, but it was there before). So if you are looking for a place to start, feel free to play with the code.
Disclaimer: You must know that I have coded the most of it at night because I don't have much spare time now, so if you spot something weird just tell me, the code won't run straight out of the box, because assuming that the X11 implementation works, you'll still need the driver to run the FPGA/ASIC.
Oh I almost forgot, this was possible because awesome people released their awesome projects, I have used code from:
CGminer, SGminer and CPUminer, lots of thanks to the people who pushed code there.
Well, here it goes: https://github.com/XePeleato/cgminer
Take care!
