FPGA solutions for hashcat

[Morris]

I previously modified the bitcoin miner (cpuminer-opt) to send mining jobs to FPGA for mining via UDP. The actual application is at the following URL.

I am considering rebuilding this process in hashcat for FPGA password cracking.
What I want to ask is, is there a demand for this kind of application? Is it worth investing my time in doing it?

If your FPGAs support OpenCL, which is very rare, Hashcat may work with the FPGAs but it's extremely unlikely that it'll just be plug-and-play, even if they do support it. Most likely you'd end up just making your own hash cracker and not using Hashcat directly

What do you need to do to make hashcat run on a FPGA?

There are no officially supported FPGAs but theoretically, any FPGA that runs OpenCL should be able to run Hashcat but there is 0 FPGA-specific code in Hashcat so it may not work at all

I'm totally new to hashcat. I downloaded the code and I'm running it with the hashcat command. Is what I am running OpenCL?
