Nexys A7 50T: petalinux-build error

[dyne21]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to build petalinux for bootable SD card on my Nexys A7 50T board. The used petalinux version is v2019.1 release.

The hdf file generated by Vivado worked well on the SDK projects. The petalinux commands that I tried are as belows.

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/petalinux_projects$ petalinux-create --type project --template microblaze --name Petalinux_Microblaze

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/petalinux_projects/Petalinux_Microblaze$ petalinux-config --get-hw-description /home/ubuntu/Nexys-A7-50T-OOB

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/petalinux_projects/Petalinux_Microblaze$ petalinux-build

The error messages from the build command are as below. I tried "get_board_parts" at the TCL window and generated the hdf file again. However, it showed the same problem. Please advice me for this issue. Thanks.

Best Regards,

Jeff

Hi @dyne21,

Digilent does not have any experience with getting PetaLinux set up for a MicroBlaze processor, so we won't of a lot of help in this regard. You're probably already aware of them, but there are a couple of links that may be helpful to you here and here.

Otherwise, based on the board_part error, it sounds like you'll need to install the board file for the Nexys A7 50T, which you can get from our GitHub here. If this does not resolve the issue, you'll probably want to try building each PetaLinux component individually to find out which portion is failing, as per this Xilinx support thread.

Thanks,
JColvin

Hi JColvin,

 

Thank you for the information. When I create the Vivado project, I chose the board name "Nexys A7 50T". The project worked well with SDK standard projects. So, can I assume that I already have the board files?

 

Best Regards,

Jeff

Hi @dyne21,

Yes, if you are selecting the board name during the initial Vivado project creations, then you should have the board files already.

Thanks,
JColvin
