bsp Device tree generation and system-top.dts are not present in the project directory

[jenny]

when i did petalinux-config –get-hw-description …. as it is in the user guide it is not generating any device tree in the plnx-workspace and i have my xilinux-zc702-2017.1 BSP for zynq in the same project directory on my virtual machine and I am using petalinux sdk 2017.1
I couldnot see system-top.dts or device tree generation anywhere in my petalinux prj directory…

Hi @jenny,

Unfortunately, we have not updated our support from Petalinux 2015.4 to a newer version of Petalinux. I have reached out to a more experienced embedded linux engineer about your question. 

cheers,

Jon

As Jon mentioned, we have not made the jump to petalinux 2017.1 yet, so I won't be able to answer any questions on that version of the tools until I get some more more hands on experience with it. What I do know is that since 2016.4, the project structure and method for modifying the device tree have changed significantly. Be sure to read the 2017.1 petalinux reference guide carefully, especially if you are leaning on experience from previous versions of the tools.
