Well i agree, but until there is a "sockit" config i think this is the
way to go.
By the way, i have seen rocketboard tagged a new Linux and uboot release
last week, this Linux release has a socfpga_cyclone5_sockit.dts and
seems to work, so i will change the buildroot config to use this release.
For the new uboot release, i can't make the preloader work... the files
generated by the Altera's tools in its 13.1 version doesn't work from
scratch, i'm stuck in the sdram calibration and i'm not enough confident
to make it work, so until someone know what's wrong i will stay on the
previous uboot release based on the 13.0sp1 Altera's tools.

Regards,

Sebastien.
