Hello Jan, let me quote my mail to Claudio, who asked more or less the same on March 7th(see mail below). Personally, hoped that someone from Intel/Altera has the guts to answer this question or at least the Maintainer of the socfpga. I'm by far not good at u-boot, so it is just hacked together what was needed for the project so far.
If any Maintainer reads this, I suggest removing the Arria10 from the current master branch as it is unusable(system does not even boot) for any one the way it is now. > Hello Claudio, > > I tried it as well and failed.
