Hi Marek, I've got a third board coming to me in the mail (another DE0-NANO-SOC). I'll post how that goes.If it fails, maybe I'll send it to you... I've also sent Terasic an email. One question - after you (your collegue's) SoCKit (Nano) get past memory calibration, does USB work (i.e. does the u-boot USB subsystem recognize mass storage devices)? I'm beginning to look for solutions that don't involve rebuilding the SPL or using USB.
