oh yeah, and be sure you're not basing your failure on a one board sample. you could just have a bad flash or some sort of board failure.

--- Quote End --- Thanks for the reply. I followed your suggestions, and you're right - the memory test couldn't even locate the flash device (I specified all the possible paths I could think of). I'm using different boards in the lab every time, so I don't think it's a hardware failure. I also double-checked my top-level entity and pin assignments and I can't find any glaring errors, then again I might still be missing something. :/
