[U-Boot] socfpga, spl, status

Hello Marek and U-Boot community,
I am trying to build the U-Boot 2015.10 with SPL for the EBV SoCrates board (Altera SoC FPGA, Cyclone V). It builds, however, I am unable to boot. It does not print any output. I can boot the SoCrates board with an older bootloader generated by the Altera tools.
I am able to build & run U-Boot for Altera SoC Development Kit (NOT SoCKit), the SPL works however U-Boot freezes...
U-Boot 2015.10 (Nov 20 2015 - 15:43:36 +0100)
CPU: Altera SoCFPGA Platform FPGA: Altera Cyclone V, SE/A6 or SX/C6 or ST/D6, version 0x0 BOOT: SD/MMC Internal Transceiver (3.0V) Watchdog enabled I2C: ready DRAM: 1 GiB MMC: SOCFPGA DWMMC: 0 *** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment
In: serial Out: serial Err: serial Model: Altera SOCFPGA Cyclone V SoC Development Kit Autoboot in 3 seconds [...frozen here...]
So, what is the status of the SPL for SoCFPGA in upstream? Does anybody test all the claimed socfpga platforms?
Regards Jan Viktorin

The SoCrates was always a bit of an orphan, but I'm submitting a patch to fix it now, since I have one.

I'm testing mostly MCVEVK and SoCkit and ArriaV SoCDK. Dinh, you wanna look at the CV SoCDK issue ? I might be able to set it up later this weekend, but don't hold your breath, I am pretty overloaded.

Update, my SoCdk boots just fine:

Hi, thanks for quick replies.
I tried the SoCDK with 2016-rc1 and the default config socfpga_cyclone5_defconfig. The previous build has used some customization of the config (I tried to disable EMAC). I build by the Buildroot using the uclibc toolchain. Installed as
$ sudo dd if=u-boot-spl-dtb.bin.crc of=/dev/sdc1 bs=64k seek=0 $ sudo dd if=u-boot-dtb.img of=/dev/sdc1 bs=64k seek=4

Do the following, the u-boot-with-spl-dtb.sfp is automatically generated by the build in 2016.01rc, while you need to do make u-boot-with-spl-dtb.sfp with 2015.10. This is actually important:
$ sudo dd if=u-boot-with-spl-dtb.sfp of=/dev/sdc
btw which version of gcc does your toolchain use ? It might be a compiler bug, I've seen those more than once.
