Cora Z7 Petalinux - Problems with Digilent GitHub


GilbertW

Question

Hi

 

I am using cora Z7 07S, ubuntu 16.04, and Vivado 2017.4 and Petalinux 2017.4

 

Firstly, the good news: 

Following the instructions on https://github.com/Digilent/Petalinux-Cora-Z7-07S if I of directly download the Cora BSP and do

petalinux-create -t project -s <path to .bsp file>
cd <project>
petalinux-build

Everything works  I can load an sd card and boot linux on my Cora.

 

Problems come however if either I

a) Try the alternative approach described in the instructions of

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Digilent/Petalinux-Cora-Z7-07S.git 

or

b) I try to include a hardware definition, output from any simple Vivado project I create

E.g. If I create my own Cora Vivado project with (say) a simple xilinx axi-GPIO IP in the Programmable Logic, it's my understanding I should be able to generate the bitstream, "export-hardware", and in Petalinux do

petalinux-create -t project -s <path to .bsp file>

cd  <new project>

petalinux-config --get-hw-description=<path to my vivado .hdf>

petalinux-build

 

In either case 'a' or 'b' however, the builds fail with

"ERROR: u-boot-xlnx-v2017.01-xilinx-v2017.4+gitAUTOINC+4a34620027-r0 do_fetch: Fetcher failure for URL: 'git://github.com/digilent/u-boot-digilent.git;protocol=https;branch=master'. Unable to fetch URL from any source."

 

The issue appears to be a "broken" commit on the Digilent github. More precisely, although a commit (sort of) exists ( https://github.com/Digilent/u-boot-digilent/commit/4a3462002712c18b9b2c7f8732967aa66f3adb51 ) it's marked

This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository, and may belong to a fork outside of the repository.

 

This forum post suggests I can pick another commit, but how do I know which? (there are >70,000!)

 

I can live without 'a' above, but not being able to develop any of my onw custom Vivado designs is really limiting.

 

Any help much appreciated
