8 times - it is hardcoded in to try 8 times. Actually there is a bug in 
there because the retry count is larger than 8 if it fails so the following 
initialization is done regardless of the result of the load microcode. But 
this does not solve the problem.

No, does not work - as told it works 'almost' ;)

Nothing more enlightning... firmread() works and loaded the MPEG1_6.HLD 
file with a length of 59872 bytes. Then loading the ADSP microcode failed, 
this repeats until it gives up after a few tries.

Any idea what could cause the ADSP microcode not to load? Downloading the 
other Altera microcode seems to be ok.
