BOOT.BIN created with VITIS doesn't work on Genesys ZU 5EV

[KevinB]

 The BOOT.BIN file is produced in Vitis does not work.   When I copy the BOOT.bin file to the SD card, it does not start up and the Error light turns on.      Does it require a separate FSBL application, or does the one produced in the platform suitable?

Hi @KevinB,

I won't claim to be an expert with the Genesys ZU, but I would recommend taking a look at these two threads:

Thanks,

Have you configured your SD card settings correctly on the ZYNQ? I had the same issue for the longest time on a Genesys ZU 7EV until I read that the SD card had to be 3.0 and neither eMMC nor 2.0.

I solved this problem for myself by using the bootloader in the Genesus ZU Hello World demo.   There appear to be a customizations for bootloader for the Genesys board that are not found in the stock code.    It is a little bit inconvenient that to update the hardware specification, I have to drop in psu_init.c and psu_init.h files into this special build.

Do you know what the customization is?  Can you point us to the files that are different?
