I generated in Passive Parallel x16 RBF, set MSEL DIP switch to all-ON as required by DE10-nano manual and I have the same situation: FPGA is loaded (orange LED is ON, green LEDs are blinking) but U-Boot complains about missing device tree:
append: root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait mem=0x3F000000 memmap=16M$0x3F000000 ttyS0,115200
ERROR: Did not find a cmdline Flattened Device Tree
Could not find a valid device tree
SCRIPT FAILED: continuing...
reading /socfpga_cyclone5_de10_nano.dtb
29940 bytes read in 9 ms (3.2 MiB/s)
Also seems confusing to me that right after Did not find message there is reading /socfpga_cyclone5_de10_nano.dtb which means the device tree is really there on SD card.
Another strange issue is that DE10-nano boots Linux with MSEL switch set to ON-OFF-ON-OFF which means Passive Parallel x32 mode but Quartus conversion program does not allow 32 bit mode showing the following error: Device 5CSEBA6U23 does not support Passive Parallel x32 scheme.
