Dev Kit and Dell "Training Error"

Wow... the SR took me down the path of flashing a couple of images.

It seemed to work... but I was wrong. The factory defaults are no longer in the board, the 2 images I attempted to flash via the SR aren't loading (or something, regardless it's not working).

AND... after I follow the Altera instructions for restoring factory defaults.... it fails. So now I have no idea what's loaded... but it doesn't work. Nor can I seem to flash anything else.

WOW. This is the equivalent to a "Hello World" application not running out of the box and the supplier refusing to support it.

This whole ordeal has verified that I made a poor design decision by choosing Altera.

Regardless, we're too far along now to change unless we have no other choice... so...

If ANYONE has had ANY success in flashing this board successfully through the USB. I'd really appreciate the assistance.

Thanks
