0. Generate project and CD into the new project directory (petalinux-create -t project -s <path to .bsp file>)
1. Format microSD card to FAT filesystem partition (1 GB FAT32, 31 GB EXT4)
2. Copy _pre-built/linux/images/BOOT.BIN_ and _pre-built/linux/images/image.ub_ to the first partition of your SD card
3. Create a new file on the microSD card called uEnv.txt. Add the following line to the file, replacing the MAC address as found on the board's sticker, then save and close it: ethaddr=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
4. Eject the SD card from your computer and insert it into the Cora Z7
5. Short the MODE jumper (JP2)
6. Attach a power source and select it with JP3 (note that using USB for power may not provide sufficient current)
7. If not already done to provide power, attach a microUSB cable between the computer and the Cora Z7
8. Open a terminal program (Tera Term) and connect to the Cora Z7 with 115200/8/N/1 settings (and no Hardware flow control)
9. Press the SRST button to restart the Cora Z7. You should see the boot process at the terminal and eventually a root prompt.
I got to step 9 and I am able to see Cora Z7 as one of my serial ports, but I don't see the boot process. Later I was able to get an SDK application running on Cora Z7 and I was able to see that over terminal with 921600 baudrate.
What do you think is the issue with the terminal and boot process? Why am I not able to see it and log in into the system? Do you have any suggestions for tackling this issue?

Hello,
I am trying to boot up linux on Cora Z707. I am using the base projects for Vivado (https://github.com/Digilent/Cora-Z7-07S-base-linux/) and petalinux (https://github.com/Digilent/Petalinux-Cora-Z7-07S/archive/v2017.4-1.zip) provided by Digilent.
I followed the following steps:
