I've just got a brand new board with a Stratix II S180 on it. Before I power it on, I checked the power supply rails for short-circuits. I get 20 ohms on the 1.8V supply rail and 1.2 Ohms for the 1.2V. 20 ohms does not look like a short but 1.2 is rather small. On those supplies, I only have logic components and decap capacitors, the power supply is on another board.
So any advice before I push a few amps in it? Short or not? (I must say that I'm somewhat stressed by the device price ;-)
