Sorry for the late reply, I am horribly overloaded now. I asked someone in #u-boot who has the DE0-NANO-SOC board to test latest u-boot/master on it and it apparently worked for him. I should get some more feedback in the morning [ see http://pastebin.com/CM1QJGnh ] . Still, this is getting real creepy. You are the second person who is complaining about misbehavior of terasic boards with mainline u-boot and whatever I do, I cannot replicate this. I am at least CCing the Altera guys. Sorry I have no better suggestion for you :( Best regards, Marek Vasut _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
