I'm currently working with Bittware on a solution and feel it would be necessary to report another incident of this happening. --- Quote End --- Hi Rudy, Yes that's right. Carlos at Bittware actually suggested this so I think they are aware of it, but only as of today. While I was on the phone with him he got a message about this from the Altera folks. In case it helps, this has taken a while to get working: I am using the ASUS Rampage IV Extreme Motherboard (supports multiple GPUs and is popular with gamers) and with a Hex-Core CPU (Intel Core i7-3930K) I could not get the system to post at all using Windows 7. Bittware let me know that another customer got this Motherboard to work using the quad-core Intel Core i7-4820K CPU to work, so I ordered one of those, popped it in, then it booted using the Altera Ver. 13.1 SDK. Bittware found a fix to the Hex-core case by reprogramming the firmware of the S5PHQ, which I just got around to doing today. So to be honest, I don't know if it was the firmware update or the non-compressed loading option of the top.rbf file under version 14.0. In any case, Ver 14.0 seems to be working, I got the Hello World example to build and run earlier this evening. Stay in touch.
