Is it in anyone's experience that these (cheaper) Terasic eval boards are generally out of spec? Is there a way to relax the calibration parameters? the USB parameters? Would it help if I posted debug output? Thanks, --George _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
