Error while building new application in PetaLinux

[nardhini]

Hi,

I am trying to create and install an application for Zynq using PetaLinux. I have created a new project as per ug980 and have created an app as per ug981. When I run 'petalinux-build -c rootfs/myapp' it fails with ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'rootfs/myapp'. I have not edited the source code. I am just trying to build myapp into the existing system image. Another observation is, when I built gpio-demo. It threw ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'rootfs/gpio-demo'. Close matches: gpio-demo. I am wondering what would have caused the error.

Hi @nardhini,

Here is a forum thread that has a similar error.  Digilent also has multiple Petalinux projects available on our link Petalinux Support for Digilent Boards. The readme files should also be very helpful. I have also reached out to a more experienced embedded linux engineer to see if they have additional input for this thread.

thank you,

Jon

Hi @jpeyron,

Thanks for the reply. I have already read the mentioned thread. My problem was not with the name of the application, it was with the build command. The problem is solved by using

$ petalinux-build -c myapp

Hi @nardhini,

Glad you were able to build your myapp. Thank you for sharing what you did to get it going.

cheers,
