I thought the consensus was that the mining devices just need a little extra software onboard to increment extranonce and recompute the merkle root. @p{par}

I don't know nuthin about hardware/firmware design, or the miner@p{lt}-@s{gt}pool communication protocols, but it seems to me that should be pretty easy to accomplish (the device will need to know the full coinbase transaction, a pointer to where the extranonce is in that transaction, and a list of transaction hashes so it can recompute the merkle root). @p{brk}
