Petalinux-Zybo-Z7-20 project doesn't build

[fandrei]

I'm getting this error when trying to build it (PetaLinux tools v2018.1). Any ideas how to fix it?

The petalinux platform is not compatible with 2018.1 tools version. You'll need to create a new platform for 2018.1.

I'm getting a similar message when using v2017.4. What is this MACHINE variable for and what value should it have for the Zybo board?

I am not an expert, but I think the machine names the system you are targeting (which is "zynq", or "zynq generic" in your case). Since you are not ment to change these configurations, I'd assume your petalinux project is corrupted at some point. Try to start from scratch, if you can. 

Also, can you share which steps you are taking to build the kernel? Otherwise my assumptions are just overly optimistic, or simply wrong.

So, the problem with "Please set a MACHINE in your local.conf or environment" was that I didn't check out submodules of the Petalinux-Zybo-Z7-20 project. ?
And then, back to the first question: how do I make the Petalinux-Zybo-Z7-20 project work with PetaLinux 2018.1, what modifications are required?

Thanks for posting the solution. 

As for updating to 2018.1, I haven't used it yet, so I can't accurately answer your question. In previous versions, I was able to just open the project in the newer version and it was updated automatically, but I can't guarantee that will be the case here.

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention a key step that is actually a lot of work, and the cause of the issue you are having.

The Digilent u-boot and linux kernel repos will need to be merged with the recent changes to the Xilinx u-boot and Linux kernel repos. You can probably skip the u-boot merges, but it seems the linux kernel will need a merge. It also seems that they are expecting a branch called "xlnx_rebase_v4.14" to exist, which is new to 2018.1 (in the past they always assumed the master branch). Please run petalinux-config and see if you can override the branch anywhere, probably in the section where you set the remote linux repo. 

Good news is that I happen to be working on a merge right now that should work for you and will end up pushed to the digilent repo. When it goes live I will let you know and tell you what commit to point at.

If you want to give the merge a shot yourself, let me know, and I can give you some pointers.

Hi @sbobrowicz

I wonder if there is any public discussion about this?

@fandrei

Not that I am aware of, but feel free to start one up here

Update: still working on the push, hopefully it will come soon
