Issues with Zybo and Petalinux

[Jake Robinson]

So I am trying to create a boot image for a Zybo board with 2016.2 Xilinx tools. I have created a Vivado project with the Zybo as the target board. Created a block diagram and setup the Zynq processing system on said diagram. Wrapped up the design, generated a bit file, and exported to SDK.

Now, following the user guide for Petalinux, I use

petalinux-create

To create the project directory

petalinux-config --get-hw-description

to import the hdf file

petalinux-build

to build the things

and finally

petalinux-package --boot --fsbl <file> --fpga <file> --u-boot

to get my boot images. However when booting up the ZYBO from the SD, it always hangs during the boot up process. Anybody know what is going on?

Hi Jake,

Here is a forum thread that  has a similar issue and talks about making sure the power supply is correct. Here is a link that talks about  it hanging as well and they suggest to first use a pre-built BSP. Have you used a pre-built BPS for petalinux like here? Hope this helps!

cheers,

Jon

Hi Jon,

Can i get a Zybo BSP for 2016.2 version? And I'm also not clear how to generate a BSP for our own custom design. Could you please point to the right documents?

I am also trying to implement the gpio demo for zybo using petalinux. Where do i find the gpio-ids for leds, switches and pushbuttons in the demo?

Thanks in advace.

Hi @Axe,

I am not very experienced with embedded linux.  With that being said, unfortunately we do not have a BSP 2016.2 version yet but we do have a 2015.4 as mentioned here. Here is the 2016.2 PetaLinux Tools Documentation that might help with the process in 2016.2. Here is linux-digilent drivers that might be helpful as well. 

cheers,

Jon
